My Fiancée joined me on her first Hurricane chase and did a wonderful job. Its funny how I told her how tough it is to chase Hurricanes and you could be days without power and warm food, etc... We stayed at the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island and had a fantastic time. The employees of Atlantis we very organized and handled the situation perfect, In fact for 2 days straight we had free meals and free mini bar. They had a back up plan if Irene strengthened and made a direct hit on us to take shelter in the conference room which would protect us in any strength Hurricane. In the end we did not have to relocate there and was allowed to stay in our rooms in comfort. We NEVER lost power but did lose internet. We had warm showers and food the entire time and I was only wet for about 1 hour of the entire chase. This NEVER happens.....Normally I am wet for hours or days and sleep in my car and might not shower for many days. This was a luxury chase but a success. I was featured on ABC Nightline, ABC Good morning America, ABC nightly news and The Weather Channel. My fiancée Andrea did a superb job of filming me in the Hurricane so I could give a "Live" report during the height of the Hurricane.

During the height the building was shaking and the toilet water was sloshing around until all of a sudden the toilet was was sucked dry and all the water was GONE !!! The windows were flexing and the wind was singing. I am happy to report very minor damage to the island. The only damage I saw was some large trees down and some light damage to fences and signs. As far as I know there were no deaths on Nassau and this just proves that Islanders are used to Hurricane and know the dangers and can take care of themselves.

I want to Thank Andrea for doing such a great job filming and Wunderground for featuring my blogs so I could give updates to their readers. Ok, back to standby mode until the next one.....
