CAT ISLAND STATUS:
I just received word from a pilot that just flew back this morning. No serious injuries nor deaths on Cat Island. The north end was hit worse than the south, as far as damage. Charter planes are flying people out from Cat Island to Nassau, so that they can catch the regular flights out.
Rockland County Status - minor damage so far (4:46) few trees down, brook and lake in Monsey overflowed, water and fish in peoples basements, a few windows knocked down, a few leaky roofs!!
Most businesses closed!
If anyone needs hand held satellite communications
please email me for more information.
With the hurricane downing land and cell lines,
communications is impossible.
Using an inexpensive solution like a Motorola satellite phone, you will always be in touch.
You use the satellites to communicate, no matter what is happening with local service.
It is like a cell phone only a little bigger.
All I need is a US billing address. Only a 3 day turnaround. Nicolas.Claude@Motorola.Com
