Hurricane Irene - the Aftermath

Well it's been a couple of days since Irene blew through & all in all we certainly dodged a bullet. There was some rain & high winds but no significant structural damage in Costambar.

However ...

On the beach many trees were lost & the storm surge rolled all the way up to the back walls of the Italian quarter with garbage & detritis deposited there.

Some of the beach was washed away, but that's just accelerated the existing erosion patterns. There's a reason we live on top of the hill ;-) .

The biggest problem is that since Monday the Italian quarter & the block behind - where our former bar was - haven't had power. Apparently one of the underground cables has been damaged. Boy are we glad we moved! It always was a nightmare down there which is why we were glad we had a generator, although that cost a fortune to run.

So there you have it, our tropical paradise is returning to normal with APC doing sterling work on the clean-up, I noticed both garbage trucks out & about to get the work done, & now it's so calm we have no cooling breezes .... life's a beach!

Hurricane Irene

Well it looks like Hurricane Irene will miss Costambar & pass north of us. Projected winds are in the region of 40mph+ & heavy rainfall is also forcast.

The Restaurant will be closed today - Monday - & re-open as usual on Wednesday ... we hope!

Everybody in Costambar stay safe & I'll update this site after the storm has passed.
