Good evening from Bermuda

There is at least one Porter County person in Bermuda. Seemed like a good place to move after His Oneness got elected. Unfortunately we've got quite a lot of tropical storms here, including this year being affected by Colin, Danielle, Earl, Fiona, and now Igor. This one we're taking seriously though. Here's video of the preparations:



Current conditions are winds 20-40 mph, light rain bands, and rough seas to the south. The storm's eye is projected to cross the island in a little more than 24 hours. Buoys suggest waves of 40' are on their way. Jim Cantore is about a mile away reporting from the Elbow Beach Hotel and will have quite a good view, but most Bermudians are riding it out in their homes. Being on an island 22 miles long and a mile wide, with no land of any sort for over 600 miles, there's little choice but to ride it out.
