Hurricane Sandy
Holy shit, arrived yesterday in the Bahamas to find myself right in the path of hurricane Sandy.
A real good start to a vacation. Hopefully another 24 hours til it passes and then, good luck Miami or New York. Just glad to be pissed at the bar at the One and Only in Nassau as I type this. I'm a hurricane virgin being a Brit, so to be honest I'm quite enjoying the whole experience of a hurricane. Woot!!! |

Have been in a few myself. I'd suggest you not take this too lightly as things can be flying around, dangerous things ..... stay away from the beach until it passes as storm surge kills more than the winds. Not trying to be an alarmist just telling you to take care and stay out of the way.

Even a Cat 1 spawns tornadoes so agree that venturing out or stumbling around can be very hazardous.

All I can say is that I'm glad I'm missing it. I'll be there next week, hope no big damages!

Hey Paul, love the One and Only!! Have a drink at Dune for me, I love John-George's food!
 Best golf course on the Caribbean as well! I'm sure you already know but if not you have to go to Grey-Cliff one night in Nassau, great food and the best cigars there are. All of their makers are Cuban trained!!

The DC-NY coastline is in path by Monday - good luck and update your flood insurance if you have it.

I have evacuated the Jersey shore to my parents house, my shore rental will most likely have water damage, thank god the people who bought my house closed last week. I would not want to pay for a water damaged house. Be safe everyone on the eastern seaboard.

To be honest, I slept thru the last one, here in NYC... But I am well aware of the story of the boy who cried wolf. All in all I am overly skeptical being from the city, of any possible damage, but I guess we will have to wait and see. This storm has seemed to been devastating else where. Will post an update post storm.
