I still have my net connection.
The assraping we are about to get is said to be the worst the island has ever seen. I'm glad I don't own anything here.
The boat scene in our harbor will look funny... in a sick way.
The hurricane is supposedly going to hit at 2pm, but we are already getting hit by gale force winds.
I suspect my power will be out any minute now - and with that the phones and net.
I never paid much attention to how shitty the power lines here are until yesterday. I don't know how they worked at all in the first place. Lots of trees are going to get fucked up in this shit.
Hopefully will be back online by next week, but in the last big one most people were without power for 3 weeks, and this one is said to be way worse.
yay.
I'm gonna surf the web until the power goes out, then just read books.
We have our sliding glass doors taped up and everything is moved inside.
My mother in law (future I guess) feels pretty certain that they will lose their roof, so they have everything from the second floor crammed into the downstairs.
I suppose the fact that I can go a long time without remembering to eat will help in this case.

I know you don't care, but I said a quick prayer to keep your
New family safe.
As well as they rest of those Tea swilling, funky shorts wearing Euro wankers on that poor spit of land..
Best advice from a Floridian that's been thru a pretty bad one is
to fill anyting you have with water(TUBS, SINKS, Jugs etc) NOW as this will be needed not so much to drink but to use to flush the poopsies down the toidies.
Also keep little poem in your head..
If it's yellow, let it mellow
If it's brown, flush it down

I appreciate that you thought of us - very kind of you
We currently have a trash can, a bucket, three large pots, and the bathtub full of water. I plan on pissing off of our porch and will try to hold out and poop at other people's places - or work. But if it comes uncontrollably like it usually does, then I will certainly go here. Or in the jungle next to us - that would be a most amusing way to bite it.

haha, yer, but I don’t have to move all my furniture out of my top floor and shit in the jungle!
Neither do I
We only moved our patio furniture - and by that, I really only mean a small plast table, two small plastic chairs, and a lounge chair thing.
As for shitting in the jungle - we don't really have true jungles here due to the climate we are in, but we call the growth of trees and bushes around our place a jungle becuase it looks the part.
I'd much rather shit in the sink, but we don't have a garbage disposal.

Friday - Winds southerly 50 to 70 knots, with gusts to 80 to 100 knots in the afternoon, increasing from 25 to 35 knots in the morning... Widespread heavy rain and showers with fair visibility. Scattered thunderstorms with poor visibility... Seas increasing, inside the reef 10 to 15 ft... Outside the reef 20 to 30 ft...
I guess that Sailing trip is cancelled...

The weather dude here is now saying winds of sustained 100+ knots and gusts over 130 knots.
It would be nice if he is wrong.
Apparently what is really going to be bad, even though this is coming from the southeast, is the northshore and especially the great sound and hamilton harbor (which is what I'm right next to - but on the other side of a decent hill).
It is the rapid storm swells that are going to be bad, and they are going to hit right when high tide is at its highest... lots of flooding is going down.
The storm surges normally raise the water about 5-10 feet, but that will be on top of high tide... ugly.
Apparently the south shore is really wild right now with waves that you would normally see in Africa or Australia - we normally don't get waves of any sort here due to all of the reefs protecting us.
I'm impressed that our power has lasted this long. If it is still on at 2pm, I will be amazed.

Workers here aren't particularly motivated due to nearly 100% employment rates. As a result, public work projects are really really slow.
They are trying to get everything underground, but it is slow going. Plus the whole island is limestone and volcanic rock, so it is non-trivial.
oh damn the winds just started to get insane... I would imagine the power is going down very soon - nothing sustained yet, just gusts that are blowing smaller branches off the trees - but the trees are still standing.

My coworker is convinced that we are getting hit hard by this "gay storm" because of all the gay bashing he has done while here.
There are certainly names that would have been more amusing had this storm had that name, but they are already taken by other storms.
They recycle the names if no damage is done, but if it does do damage, then that name stays unique to that one storm.
Bartender Tanya Bartel said she was taking Fabian seriously and had duct-taped the windows of her north shore apartment.
"It's going to be close, if not a direct hit," she said. "If you have enough beer, ice, candles and cards to get through the weekend, you should be OK. The big talk is, 'do people have enough beer?'"

lots of drinking going down during the storm. beer won't go bad if the power goes out, just gets warm.
my fiancee's stepfather is a recovering alcoholic, so I doubt they will be beered up and I was too lazy to haul a case around.
When I was getting on the ferry yesterday loaded up with gallons of water, I saw a guy I know and he asked if I had beer in my bags. I said it was just water, and he help up a case of Heinikin (sp?).
His place has a generator though, I envy that.

I have my fiancee.
Our lights have been flickering and the parish next to us has lost power, so I imagine we are gone soon. I'm very impressed we have lasted this long.
I wonder if we will make it all the way until 2.
1 more hour and then the full thing is here.

Dougly: I don't have a digital camera - my fiancee I think does, we will try to get some I guess. especially the aftermath.
and yeah, the houses here are very intense. They are all made of cinderblock and concrete. they are designed to do well.
the houses aren't what we are worried about - we are worried about trees coming through windows, boats hitting other boats, and places near the water getting flooded/washed out.
it sounds like the causeway to the airport might even get washed out - they have been working on that for a long time... ugh.
I thought for sure our power would be gone by now. the parish next to us is down and we have had flickering lights - but still power.
cool.
the wind that we get comes in surges becuase it is the outer fingers of the storm as it is coming.
when the wind is here, it sounds like a train outside.

to give you comfort throughout the hurricane just think about my tender flacid penis nestled comfortably in my shorts against my succulent and delectable left groin.

I highly doubt he has power. Here's a report from there
the eyewall is moving over Bermuda. This was confirmed by
observations from Bermuda...high resolution satellite images and
fixes from an Air Force plane. Fabian has maintained its estimated
intensity of 105 knots. The Bermuda airport reported a minimum
pressure of 965.5 mb and gusts to 102 knots and hour ago and
estimated sustained winds of 90 knots with gusts to 115 knots at
1955z. There was an unofficial report from Bermuda Harbor radio of sustained winds of 102 knots before the 250 foot tall instrumented mast blew down. Preliminary analysis indicates that Fabian has hit Bermuda as a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir/Simpson hurricane scale.

I'm back on here at least.
Our place sustained no real problems at all - we have no water or power and likely will stay that way for a few weeks now.
I helped out those that were less fortunate and lost much more.
I was faint with heat stroke and dropped a machete on my leg like a dipshit, but lucked out in that the cut seems to be pretty clean/minor (deep but not long, no pain and it stopped bleeding fairly easily - but looks awful).
Another time I nearly fell off a roof when I was feeling fait again. brilliant.
I saw some fucked up houses - one was a $3million house that is totaled... I think the foundation is likely okay and she will rebuild. She was right on the south shore on a clif that was 30 feet up from the water when I was there. but during the storm the water smashed through her roof and through her house and was about waist deep from what I can tell. She would have been dead for sure had she been there - fortunately she was elsewhere with friends in their house.
I'm at work now where I can shower and I finally got up the net after working with another guy on it since 7am this morning until noon-ish.
Just got word that we are going to have a generator in the next few days.
Interesting to see how people react in this sort of thing.
4 deaths - mainly due to how well the houses here are built.
Have a lot of crazy pics so far.

Nope - nobody interviewed me or my fiancee, or anyone in their family that I'm aware of.
Things I've learned about this:
1) if you ever look at your garage and think that there is no way that you could possibly fit anything else in there... you can fit a lot more in there for sure - you just need the ocean to put it in there.
2) 7 year olds feel personally slighted when the power goes out, regardless of the cause or the plight of others
3) good people will come together and help each other out - and then you find out who the real assholes are
4) nobody listens to the homeless, even if they are trying to help out
5) when boats burn, they make a lot of thick black smoke
6) palm trees will gum up a 2 stroke chainsaw real quickly
7) bamboo trees are easy to cut down with a machete, even if they are over 40ft tall and bigger around than your leg (they are hallow)
8) in the land of post-hurricane, he who has the chainsaw and generator is king.

That place is near me - about 2 miles away. I run by that when I do my 5 mile runs - about half a mile past that is the turn-around point.
I'm amazed those trees are still standing.
That is on South Shore Road - the South Shore is what took the brunt of the hit.
I'm 80% sure this is on Front Street, which my office is on, but this photo is much further down - might even call that part East Broadway. That actually doesn't look too bad there.
The bike looks like an old Peugot (sp?).
That could really be anywhere. I would assume it is South Shore since that is what got hit hard, but it doesn't look that bad and also looks like the North Shore Road.
That looks a lot like my neighbor across the street, if it is - then that is on Grape Bay, but I suspect it could be anyone/anywhere.

time to go looting.

The Nature Boy said:
Yeah, there have been reports of that here. There are two levels of looting from what I have seen:
1) there are the people that walk/dive into neighborhoods and figure anything that isn't in a house is pretty much freely their's to take.
2) the people that actively go into houses/stores/resteraunts/hotels and just steal crap that is very obviously someone else's, but hey, no power.
There are a lot of very religious people on this island - the looters are *always* very religious - whether or not they go to church or not, they always state (even when the same happens and there wasn't just a huge storm) that God rules all and they only answer to him. God wishes them to have the stuff. Everything is really God's, and therefore we all have equal rights to it.
My friend who used to be a debt collector used to have to deal with that all the time.
It is also interesting to see/hear how many people are absolutely sure it was God that spared them in this storm, and that the storm passed due to their prayers (I'm curious what brought the storm in the first place if that is the case).
One woman that we helped out was positive that God saved her, but ignored the fact that she nothing at all to protect her house and it basically exploded when the pressure changed - sending shards of glass all over the place. Several neighbors risked their lives to try to go and save her and board up at least one part of her house so she wouldn't be killed.
Instead of her thinking "I'm retarded, I should die" or "gee, thanks for saving me" - she just commented that the Lord saved her because she prayed.
I wanted to stab the glass into her eyes when she told me that.
On the good side, I'm pretty sure that we are buying her house by the end of the year.
(this same woman feels that Harry Potter books are creating a huge number of demon children because it is the occult and brainwashing them. she has some interesting ideas about the radio too. I like to avoid her if I can, she is always in a miserable mood)
My fiancees grandmother doesn't seem to understand that when we say that she can't use ANY water from the tap, using "just a little bit" is still going against that. Hitting her, I've heard, is inappropriate.
She thinks that this storm is due to man fucking with the environment.
This storm is pretty much a big huge lens one can use to weed out the nutbags and assholes.

thanks Lord for keeping me alive, and thanks Lord for letting my house get destroyed. You're the best.
