Glenn Drummond just returned from Governor's Harbour. He felt it was not as
bad as he had been lead to believe. He estimated 40-50% had severe damage.
Clinic is ok, Barkely's had only water damage, grocery store open,
Government building can be repaired; Griffins has gas until it runs out;
lots of damage to the asphalt; damage to Govt. dock.
He had electricity! They are right next to Batelco (which did lose it's
roof as did Lois Hanson). He could not get down Banks to check on Chili's
house; Folly and Cleartide seemed ok from the road; I believe you can get
to Double Bay; Unique restaurant lost its windows.
David and I are going down Sunday, taking visqueen (?), duct tape, candles,
batteries, and water (Glenn said it was needed). We will post more after we
return.
I am a U.S. resident and am interested in hurricane repair work in the Bahamas. Can anyone tell me who to contact?thanks
I am wondering about damage in Hatchet Bay. Vacationed there and made friends with Navardo Johnson. Worried about him and his family. Please let me know if you have any information about the area. Also, how are the houses on Gaulding?
Would like to receive information regarding my cousins, Larry Neilly of Cherokee and Liz / Jimmy Key of Marsh Harbour. Also could stand to hear about the rest of the family (Lawrence Neilly) of the Current, Eleuthera. Our prayers are with all of you.
Casuarina Point Update: Just received email answer from Malcolm Spicer in Marsh Harbour. They just got oii.net up and running again. He lost his house at Casuarina, several people lost houses there, alot of damage, but everyone safe. He thinks total phone service may not be available for 2 months.
This is a note for Matt Fleischer. My name is Deb Serfass and I tried to e-mail a message to you. My parents, Bob and Loretta Serfass, have a house in Rainbow Bay and asked me to contact you (and Fred and Leslie) about what they know about conditions in Eleuthera. Their neighbor, Mike Krutza, has gotten a flight into the island for Saturday and he will be calling his wife on a satellite phone with data about damage. He called my father and said that his wife would call my father with any information about the houses that he can gather. When my father calls me, I will post this info. Please e-mail me your correct address, since messages I sent from this site using your posted address were returned. Thanks

Hello all. I am seeking aerial photos of the north end of Elbow Cay and/or information related to the status of North Star and the surrounding area (northern tip of the island). Thanks for your help.
