Actor Sean Connery said he is “lucky” to have escaped the destruction left by Hurricane Dorian since he and his wife remained in the Bahamas as the storm passed.

Connery stayed in his full-time residence on the island of New Providence with his wife, the painter Micheline Roquebrune, the Daily Mail reported. The storm largely avoided the island where the couple lives, but trees were knocked down and torrential rain and heavy winds were recorded.

“We are both fine,” the 89-year-old actor told the Scottish Daily Mail. “We were lucky compared to many others and the damage here was not great. We had been prepared for the storm, everything was ready in advance – we weren’t taking any chances and knew what to do."

Connery has a staff who helped him prepare his home for the storm, the Daily Mail reported, including barricading the house and securing its windows. His home is about 90 miles from Great Abaco, which was one of the worst-hit areas by the storm.

The REAL James Bond dodges another bullet.

He can take it.

Don’t tell me, he’s still on a mission to “eliminate all free radicals”.

Bond,coming through.

A living legend.

New Providence and Eleuthera both dodged a huge bullet. There is more than enough room on Eleuthera to take in any survivors on Abaco or Grand Bahama who need a place with intact infrastructure; Nassau is another story.

He was shaken, but did not stir.

I would never have guessed he was still alive.

He used to live next door to my great uncle. Told him he would never do another bond movie. When he did another one, guess what they named it.

Best post of the thread! 😻

Being 100+ miles south of a hurricane’s eye is better than being in the eye.
