  Hurricanes ****

  After a week with two hurricanes (Hanna & Ike) and a tropical storm (Hanna), all I can say is that hurricanes really suck. Here in Providenciales we did not get damaged too badly, and personally all I've lost is some saved pictures from my work server.

  Of course unfortunately for the islands of Grand Turk, South Caicos, and Salt Cay, things were much worse.

  

  This is what alot of the houses in those islands now look like. Grand Turk will be out of electricity for 6 months. On other islands electricity will be out for more than a few weeks, but Grand Turk got the worst of it.

  Amazingly, throughout the two storms there was no loss of life. I've had to help with the clean up effort at work the morning after the storm, and I actually wanted to cry when I heard about the damage to those islands.

  In the mean time, everyone is trying to help any way they can, but believe it or not people have already been caught using to tragedy of this storm for profit. I feel sorry for everone affected by these storms in all of the countries that were affected.

  Big Storms Brewing

  Right now the satellite images of the Caribbean look like that movie, The Day After Tomorrow.

  The beginning of that movie scared the **** out of alot of people who've been in bad storms. It feels kinda uneasy being between two storms, with Hurricane Gustav on one side, and TS Hannah on the other, I'm just really glad that Hannah is moving slowly so they most likely won't end up merging.

  For those of you that have never experienced a hurricane or tropical storm, the easiest thing I can tell you is that they suck. There's a tropical storm headed my way, and I've already don preparing, so it looks like there will be no grilling for me this week.

  This is what the Caribbean looks like from satellite view.

  I'm Back Baby!!!!

  I've been having PC problems for the last few days, so I asked my cousin to check my updates and stuff, and to make sure I didn't get kicked out of The League of Respectable Gamers.

  I see he hasn't gotten me in trouble, but now I have to choose a theme for my profile. As you can see, my banner, avatar, and blog header pic have nothing in common. Time to change that.

  For those of you that don't know about The League of Respectable Gamers, please have a look, join, and contribute.

  Also, I'm trying to pull a blog trifecta on Monday since my activity has been down alot. That's if Tropical storm Hannah doesn't do to much damage to us here in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Have fun everybody!
