While Emily was off at her last day of school for the week, we took a drive this morning to run some last minute errands before Hannah arrives for her visit. We have been advised to listen to the radio so as we were driving we turned it on. The first thing we hear:
"An important announcement from BTC. The "911" emergency number has broken down and is currently not working. If you have an emergency, do not call "911". Thank You..."
Classic Bahamas - There are 3 major storms headed directly for the Islands and "911" doesn't work. You just have to laugh.
We also spoke to another Bahamian who assured us that there would be no storms, "the Republicans just puttin' that stuff on TV so you get interested and watch the politics."
Hmmm...
On the way home we stopped by our boarded up shopping plaza to get our mail. Even the Starbucks is boarded up.
We stopped to see how the ocean was doing. It is quite angry today. Mark got soaked.

So, in the midst of your emergency where you are NOT calling 911, where do you call? I hope you have your bat signal ready:)
Haha, your bat signal ~ that's too funny!! Yeah, so do they give you an alternate approach to emergency contacts or just "don't call 911"? Very reassuring.
I will certainly be praying for you.
Hey, you all take care of yourselves with Hannah's visit aheadin' your way! Board yourselves in... big time!
Nice 911 scenario. Makes you feel real good, I'm sure.
Oh No, not the Starbucks! Stay safe now!
Oh man, I just came across your blog...I envy you living in the Bahamas... If I could only convince my husband...
Be safe... let's hope that at the last minute the storm turns... take care...
So what on earth do you do in the middle of hurricane season with no 911?
Thank you. You've just reminded me of THE ONE advantage to being way the hell up here in Michigan!
