This week - with one Hurricane, one tropical storm and one other system developing off the coast of Africa looking like turning into something, National Hurricane Center ; if you are looking for some entertainment this weekend, head down to Encuentro to take a look at some potentially EPIC surf conditions forecast; Windguru - WindGURU: Dominican Republic - Cabarete Saturday morning looks worth a view.

It's looking like H.Bill from last year that produced some of the best surf for many years on the North Coast DR. Notwithstanding our excitement at the prospect of these conditions, we hope that Bermuda escapes damage in the next days.

Georges (pronounced Zhorzh) was the second deadliest and second strongest hurricane within the Atlantic basin during the 1998 season. Its 17 day journey resulted in seven landfalls, extending from the northeastern Caribbean to the coast of Mississippi, and 602 fatalities -- mainly in the Dominican Republic and Haiti.


What a shot of this hitting landfall...(the eye)......I flew in a week AFTER this happened, and there were still curfews in some area's.....it was an incredible sight!!....I'm sure there are a lot of people on this board who were here, and can tell you...... it wasn't a pretty sight.

Hurricanes can be fun but that depends on which end of the barrel you are looking at them.
