sandij Posted October 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Checked the webcam and you can hear the wind starting to blow through the camera mic. They are supposed to get hit by a Cat 2 or 3 tomorrow, praying they all survive, it is a lovely island to visit I'd hate to see it destroyed.

loubetti Posted October 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Bermuda is a beautiful island. She's seen this before. She'll be fine and will survive. Talk to people who live in Homestead, Florida about hurricanes. Bermuda has nothing to worry much about. Right now, I'm just happy we're dodging another hurricane bullet here in south Florida. Climate is changing, apparently, maybe. 9 years since the last big one here in 2005. "Andrew" in 1992 was a disaster of epic proportions. "Wilma" in 2005 took the shingles off our roof and wrecked the pool enclosure. We were lucky that the tree that fell down fell between the houses.

SMSACE6 Posted October 16, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I agree, Bermuda has seen this before and the people who live there know how to deal with it. Nothing wrong with a prayer or two though. Islanders, no matter where from are resilient, and can bounce back even after the worse storm. I know this because I am from an island, which is not known as the "rock", for no reason. All said though, do wish that Bermuda fares well with this latest storm.

cruisingbajan Posted October 17, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Prayers sent. It's actually a category 4 right now. Should be a category 3 by 2 PM tomorrow. Latest update has it bordering on a category 5.:eek: As an islander myself I know exactly what the people of Bermuda are feeling at this point and I hope and prayer that they don't take a major hit. While as other posters said we are a resilient people...it takes a long time to recover from these storms if you take a major hit. We have islands still recovering from Ivan in 2005:(. It maybe slightly different for Bermuda as they are still a British Protectorate and will probably received quite a bit of British assistance if the worst happens (I pray it doesn't) Stay safe my Bermudan brothers and sisters.

How'sBartCruisin'? Posted October 17, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Good karma to the beautiful people of Bermuda. Stay safe and sound. Big hurricane or not...the damage could be awful to a tiny island. The South Jersey shore was hit by Sandy two years ago and some areas are still trying to recover.

ComeOnLetsGo Posted October 17, 2014 #14 Share Posted October 17, 2014 It is windy but nothing out of the ordinary, yet. However, what I've noticed is that there is no movement outside from people to vehicles. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flowers44 Posted October 17, 2014 #20 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Just got the webcam to come back up. You are right. It looks terrible. The waves are coming right up over the pier. The high winds and storm are supposed to last about 8 hours. Hold on Bermuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
