I did as Kylake suggested (?) and clicked on the island name and read the posting on the msg/bulletin board.
Hightlinghts; Gilbert was Category 3. This one is a 4 and only 5 MPH less than a cat 5 storm.
My memories of Gilbert / Ivan and what Sunday's arrival may bring;
Storm comes, aeroplanes do not. Domino effect will have airline computers and telephone lines (if still up, lol) working hard. Rebooking can be 4 or 3 days after original scheduled flight, but some going down just won't go hence more seats North bound.
As in a movie during a twister: "We have cows (flying)"
Post storm - sales increase for Zink. (aka, metal roof on a board building.) Mangled pieces found by people in need of same.
Hotels - lawn chairs in the swimming pool. Intentional.
Wonder what the beach will do. I watched one of the hotel cams (video feeds) during Ivan but it was just swaying trees.
