Heard from Randy that the airport at Hawks Nest is clear. But should use caution and fly by first to inspect. I expect to fly down Sunday, noon. Will bring Bob Tilman and Cathy Benson. I understand from other people in Hawks Nest, that houses on the beach did OK, not much damage. Hawks Nest there was a lot of damage. Jim Roswell

We have 3 people who are interested in getting down to the island to help. We can help with flight costs. Anyone headed that way with room? Thanks, Matt & Sooner Halvorson

    FYI - I just spoke with Sky Bahamas and they are flying today (Saturday) at their normal 3:45 PM time and are back on their "regular" schedule.

    Video from the AP in Cat Island

    Also:
    AP has published a story with some photos (one recognizably from Orange Creek), with info also on Periwinkles and owner Evelyn Burrows.

    Finally, we've received news from Pigeon Cay and the north. Resort there sustained some damage but sounds like its not awful. Generally, in the north end of the island, its mostly cosmetic, vegetation, and water damage, so no need panic.............this is just going to take alot of work and man hours to clean up, and put the peices back together. **all homes intact at Pigeon Cay**, and pretty much same up north......expect power to be restored in the north within 2wks or less, as very few poles down...........

    It is clear the north fared far far better overall - our property even has a a beachfront palapa still standing.

    Mike,

    We heard from Ned: Ned/Leslie and the boys are fine. Sounds like they had quite a night (Ned said it was a 'nightmare') but they are unharmed, some damage to their property apparently but it sounds like they fared OK.
