Would kinda laugh if one house got destroyed by Noel....The Horizons!! and one boat got destroyed...The Anna Nicole!!... And the Horizons was insured by Thompson (?) And the Anna Nicole was NOT insured at all!
I found this posted at WS, thought it was interesting.

TS Noel won’t destroy that house, but it could float the boat out to sea, lol. Then we’d know Rove came out of retirement!
Here’s what the gizmo says when I put in the longitude and latitude of Nassau in general. Horizons is on the far eastern side and this is for the airport, where the weather station is. It’s on the western side of the island, but the Coral Harbour house ANS was supposed to buy is near that.
(IOW, Horizons is closed to the storm than this indicates - but that can always change if the path meanders left or right.)

I just don’t know how “up” The Bahamas are on their hurricane and tropical storm preps. They don’t seem to be concerned at all - they haven’t checked in to CaribNet and most of the other islands have (and this storm has killed several dozen people already).
Their local weather forecast says “40% chance of rain” for tomorrow, lol.
