Re: Do Hope
Am on an American site where they have 4 people living along the west coast.A quote of one.
I feel good about where we are. Chances are there will be electric, water and (arrgg) internet outages Wed & Thurs, but we are ready to stick it out. I have my frozen coffee in the freezer......
I have a garbage bag of ice ready for in the fridge. Bathtub all clean and ready to fill for toilette water and hands. It's the price we pay to wear shorts thru the Christmas season.

Latest report 5 HUMANS died in the Bahamas hope it stays like that but am sorry to say I don't think so.
The storm stopped moving and did not move for 24 hours over the Bahamas with Cat 5 winds
Only good thing when it did start to move and hit America its force had dropped to a cat 2, still 120 mile winds with a storm surge.

Re: Do Hope
A report from the only news source you can trust.Estimated death toll could be in the thousands.

Re: Do Hope
Hi, y'all. We were a long way from it. North Carolina where the hurricane is making landfall. Friends near Willmington report that while most places are raised on pilings, everyone is stuck indoors because of the storm surge. It will subside quickly though.My daughter and I are leaving Sat. (we have to be there on Monday anyway) to deliver pet supplies to help the shelters that are overwhelmed with displace pets ands strays.
We are seeing photos that aren't making it to the news, but Grand Bahama and Abaco are all but wiped out. I don't think there is a building that hasn't been flooded or structurally impacted. The biggest problem is that the airports were flooded or damaged, making delivery of supplies difficult, and ports are torn up. It's going to be years before it recovers which is made worse because tourism is the backbone of their economy.
