Give Thanks for Noel’s departure. We were on alert in New
Providence for days on end. Fortunately the storm weakened
significantly before arriving. There was minimal damage to
New Providence ( where the capital, Nassau, is located.)
Pinewood Gardens experienced major flooding ( as it always
does after heavy rains). Schools reopened this Friday, as
did business and government agencies. ... “

O/T
As firefighters prepared for this weekend’s winds, several small fires continued to burn in sparsely populated areas. Also, two large ones had yet to be fully contained.
The forecast this weekend called for Santa Ana winds gusting to 50 mph near the cities of San Bernardino and Fontana, east of Los Angeles, and in the mountains near hard-hit Santa Clarita, in Los Angeles County.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency in Riverside County on Friday because of harsh winds, which in addition to heightening the wildfire threat have damaged power lines, trees homes and buildings.
Similar gusts were expected in the hamlet of Campo, about 60 miles east of San Diego on the Mexican border, and in the sparsely populated mountains of Orange County.
