"We've come up with a Fabian cocktail for our guests," said Paul S. Tormey, manager of the Fairmont, which had nearly 300 guests. "The drinks will have umbrellas turned inside out."

These two pictures will be available on my website along with an animation of Fabian's path over Bermuda will be available shortly.

We all can only hope that the citizens of Bermuda will come out of this ok.

Avila confirms eyewall over Bermuda now

WTNT45 KNHC 052053
TCDAT5
HURRICANE FABIAN DISCUSSION NUMBER 37
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
5 PM EDT FRI SEP 05 2003

THE EYEWALL IS MOVING OVER BERMUDA. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY
OBSERVATIONS FROM BERMUDA...HIGH RESOLUTION SATELLITE IMAGES AND
FIXES FROM AN AIR FORCE PLANE. FABIAN HAS MAINTAINED ITS ESTIMATED
INTENSITY OF 105 KNOTS. THE BERMUDA AIRPORT REPORTED A MINIMUM
PRESSURE OF 965.5 MB AND GUSTS TO 102 KNOTS AND HOUR AGO AND
ESTIMATED SUSTAINED WINDS OF 90 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 115 KNOTS AT
1955Z. THERE WAS AN UNOFFICIAL REPORT FROM BERMUDA HARBOR RADIO OF
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 102 KNOTS BEFORE THE 250 FOOT TALL INSTRUMENTED
MAST BLEW DOWN. PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT FABIAN HAS HIT
BERMUDA AS A CATEGORY 3 HURRICANE ON THE SAFFIR/SIMPSON HURRICANE
SCALE.

FABIAN SHOULD BE AFFECTING BERMUDA DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS...SINCE
IT IS A LARGE HURRICANE AND IS MOVING NORTHWARD AT 16 KNOTS. FABIAN
SHOULD BEGIN TO TURN TO THE NORTH-NORTHEAST AND NORTHEAST TONIGHT.
A GRADUAL WEAKENING SHOULD BEGIN AS THE SHEAR INCREASES AND THE
HURRICANE BEGINS TO MOVE OVER COOL WATERS.

FABIAN SHOULD BE EXTRATROPICAL BY 72 HOURS OVER THE COLD WATERS OF
THE NORTH ATLANTIC. HOWEVER...AS USUAL...IT IS HIGHLY UNCERTAIN IF
FABIAN WILL WEAKEN OR BECOME A POWERFUL EXTRATROPICAL STORM AND IT
IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THE EXACT TIMING OF THE
TRANSITION FROM TROPICAL TO EXTRATROPICAL.

Didn't the same thing happen in Andrew? There really ought to be a way to keep those things from blowing down. We'll probably see a whole big discussion now about whether this was really a Cat 2, 3, or 4 storm. Kinda like Andrew when there was some waffling about its strength.
