byte_king Posted September 18, 2010 ID:315306 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Hello all,My home is going to be hit bu Hurricane Igor tonight. The storm is expected to last from tonight until Monday morning. This is expected to be the worst hurricane inBermuda's history so I would appreciate it if you guys may keep my beautiful home in mind as the storm is bound to cause some severe damage. I have been talking to my family and friends from home and it seems that the Island is in total hurricane mode. I just wish I can be there as not knowing what is happening is killing me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

byte_king Posted September 19, 2010 Author ID:315660 Share Posted September 19, 2010 A quick update:Igor seems to have lost most of its strength last night and even though it is hitting the Island as I type this, it seems it will pose minimal threat to the Island now. Wow, its crazy how fast things can change when nature is involved, eh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

byte_king Posted September 20, 2010 Author ID:315816 Share Posted September 20, 2010 @ moutaintreeI've been texting my sister and the only damage we know of right now is trees strewn about by the winds. The damage won't be tallied until tomorrow once the hurricane passes and people leave their homes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

byte_king Posted September 20, 2010 Author ID:316064 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Hello all,the storm is passed and the damage has been minimal. Mostly trees and supericial infrastructure damage. Our coastline and beaches have changed a bit, as it usual with any big storm, and there has been some flooding.I am happy to report that there have been no deaths or major injuries, although a few people have suffered some property damage. I've attached photos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSnakeKobra Posted September 20, 2010 ID:316142 Share Posted September 20, 2010 That is a lot of damage. The 3rd picture from the bottom, is that a landslide? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
byte_king Posted September 20, 2010 Author ID:316148 Share Posted September 20, 2010 @ buttons,yep, that actually used to be a beach. Half the beach is apparently gone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaintree16 Posted September 20, 2010 ID:316163 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Well I am glad, and it is fortunate, that nothing too major has happened as a result of this storm, and it's also good that there have been no major injuries or any deaths Thanks for keeping us posted. The damage in some of those pictures seems pretty bad though, and the flooding! Ugh That's sure to cause some structural damage to homes and buildings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
