Hurricane Frances and the Turks & Caicos Islands

Turks & Caicos Islands:

Hurricane Frances reportedly caused damage only to "two houses" (on Provo) and the airports were all due to re-open within the past 24 hours (according to the T&CI Government websites).

Was the little birds tucked into the hangar at South Caicos? What's the scoop? Anyone there on-line? (Cable & Wireless declared "90%" of their modems were on-line right after the storm passed.)

Good to hear nobody got hurt in the T&CI's. Well done.

Used to live down there and found the service from "Cable and worthless" to be poor and overpriced, but that was before I had discovered the internet.
I ws not aware that there are any hangars at South Caicos. You're not supposed to be able to get gas there either.
If anyone remembers "Rivetts" from T&c about 10 years ago, PM me on this forum.
Usually what happened when there was a storm, or the inspector from Gatwick or Nassau was around was that the planes were hidden away in Jamaica, Haiti or Florida for a bit until the wind/heat died down !!
Cheers!
