UPDATES & a new blog for helping those on Cat Island

Hi everyone,  I have been out prepping the house for the hurricane hitting here tomorrow morning.  Sorry I haven't updated anything. 

I may lose power here tomorrow for a few days or more and hope that all of you are able to continue posting information for those on Cat Island and abroad.  Thank you so much for your efforts. 

Following is some updated information:

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 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBzjDiyceBg&feature=player_embedded#! Also: AP has published a story with some photos (one recognizably from Orange Creek), with info also on Periwinkles and owner Evelyn Burrows. See http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5h2Nx5KDt-B7zZ7McgInfHwgTcy 1w?docId=c6dc4652fa1f4490b06465bb73dc5e06 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.
