Hurricane Fabian...Help!!!!

I HAVE POWER!!!!!

Typing this from home now.  It's like Christmas Day almost.  I can have a shower, take a dump and flush the toilet, turn on the a/c and crack a cold one.

Luxury!

I think I am going to kiss the first BELCO (Bermuda Electric Light Company) person I see.

I'll post up the digital shots I have in a few minutes..but the good footage is on my video camera, so that will take a day or two.  The digital shots were the ones I took before the storm really hit..from the south shore..there is a small .avi video clip too...I'll post a link.

Animal...sorry to mess you up on that pool my drugan friend.  ;)

Creamo...lighten up on the booze dude.  

One thing I should say is that I am really frigging proud of the people on this island.  We got rocked by a serious hurricane on Friday..on Monday I will be back in the office as if nothing happened.

Minor damage to Helm's Deep.  We lost three big trees..one an avacado tree which was broken at the base...and two palm trees which snapped in half.  I'll take some pics befopre it gets cleaned up.  Two big windows were broken by debris and an upstairs bathroom expoded outwards due to the pressure I think.

The condo was unscathed.

There is a sailboat that is smashed up on my father's dock...the corner of the dock has punctured a gaping hole in the from of the boat.  They will have to be careful getting it off as my dad's dock could go with the boat

Anyway...more later if you guys are interested.

Can anyone host a 3meg video file for me?

The pictures don't really do justice to the experience...the video is better.

Again...this is about an hour and a half or more from when the hurricane winds hit the island.
