Well I have successfully experienced my first Caribbean Hurricane! When Omar decided to "drop in" at about 1am on Wednesday evening/Thursday am he must have dosed up on some steroids and done a few reps at gym since he had strengthened to a Category 3 by then. The center of the storm passed about 40-50 miles north of Saba so we pretty much enjoyed a good ass whooping. Not quite the blow job I was looking for....
This is what's left of the small pier at Fort Bay and the front of the Harbor Master's office which used to be a driveway. 
The main store fronts along the water suffered the worst damage on the island. Most everything was a complete loss. The deck right along the water was completely wiped out. They say it could be $20M + in damages just in Fort Bay.
On a lighter note, power was restored to most of the island by dusk last night. Everyone seemed to be helping each other with clean up and getting the homes and businesses opened back up and that was really nice.

Dude. That totally sux.
How long will the diving shops be out of operation?
Hi, Chris. I was down last week with Todd Plaia's group and was looking for a way to find out how Saba fared - when he sent us Paul's e-mail. Relieved to hear all is relatively well, but sorry about the harbour. I'll bet that shore diving's gonna be a pig... ;-)
