I was on GOPBI board... until they had their little bright experiment
Bermuda could be leveled by this hurricane if it makes a direct hit, especially if it becomes a bit stronger that expected.
64,000 people live in Bermuda, the vast majority will be homeless this time tomorrow if this makes a direct hit

A 940 mb/ 125-130 mph hurricane will do a lot of damage -- especially a large one like Fabian....
This hurricane reminds me somewhat of Hugo....which had a landfall pressure of 934 mb and sustained winds of 135 mph....also hurricanes Betsy (948 mb & 130 mph) and Frederic (946 mb & 125-130 mph) come to mind -- and all three caused billions in damage.
As bad as this is for Bermuda...it would be far worse if it were Miami-Ft Lauderdale in the crosshairs. This size and intensity hurricane in Southern Florida might be the first 100 billion dollar hurricane. :o :o

Bermus
Bermuda,
I have been to bermuda several times and my feeling is that a majority of the people will not be homeless. Yes, they will lose power, etc. but most of the construction is masonary and is made to withstand hurricanes..this isn't Homestead and the crappy pre-andrew construction that was going in the building boom of the 80's. Furthermore, Bermuda is very wealthy..this isn't jamaica where most people are living in shacks. Wish them well.

This is very good to know. I am feeling a little better about their situation. Thanks!
