Shouldn’t you call the place at which you are staying? Seems like the smart thing to do..

We are travelling from England to Church Bay area tomorrow. Can anyone update us of the damage in the area. Also is the power on 100%. Are there any hotels locally that could offer accommodation if our holiday accommodation is not available?

Many thanks

So very grateful to hear the official news stating- no deaths, no serious injuries. Prayers were yours for the hurricane hours. Congratulations to all of you and to those who kept you from harm, from the structural engineers who built solid homes to keep you safe and sound- to those (emergency personnel) who gave their time and checked their own safety at the door to make sure no one died needlessly on the causeway, and other areas deemed unsafe- to the men and women who have and will put themselves in risky situations to restore power, and of course, to those who offered time and hospitality to those who felt the shelters a better (and perhaps a more comforting) place to be. Those of us who watched and prayed for all of you saw a people who rose to the occasion with stoicism and (from reading some of the blogs) a darn good sense of humour. One day I hope to visit your beautiful island. I live on Vancouver Island in BC Canada, so it may be awhile, but the Bermudian way is something I would love to experience first hand! BRAVO Bermuda!!

Glad to hear all the positive news in the aftermath of Igor. A great job by Bernews in their liveblog made visualizing the lead up and follow down of the storm clear for those of us miles away. Great job.

Sorry, we know alot of people are waiting, but there is basically nothing left to update until we get official word….we did 2 unofficial updates – on both sides.

Next update will come when Gov makes an announcement. We just have to wait to then really..

Causeway update please!

Thank you so much for your excellent reporting and for keeping us to very well updated, especially those of us overseas. The news here doesn’t give us the “Bermuda details”. I sincerely appreciate and can relate to your detailed reporting. Keep up the great work and know that there are many of us overseas who appreciate it.

What about the airport and the Causeway? I can’t believe that they haven’t said anything yet – this is what EVERYONE wants to know.

wonderful to be able to report news to relatives in Bermuda from rural West Australia as they have no access to local news

Chris Lodge did a excellent job. However I think his reports were hourly. I know he worked out of his house under candle lite and fed his reports to the VSB website. Not sure if his radio station was on the air.

Thanks Mr Ferguson, I understand VSB went hardcore with Chris Lodge apparently broadcasting from his house under battery power or something like that…

Thank you for your excellent coverage of how Bermuda prepared for and survived Igor. This is a good example of the high tech age. People are turning to their computers not radio. Sad to say no radio stations broadcast storm updates for the many people who do not have computers. I assume no radio stations had backup power.
