I am only reporting what Sam Donaldson  reported, world news tonight,
9/16/99 , 7:30 (1930) report. the small island did take a direct hit when
the storm was at it's greatest strength. We have yet to get a report from
SS? BTW, a Bahamian woman tourist was told to stay in her room , she
couldn't get any help so she used her cell phone and called broward county
sheriffs who called the island and got her help. What a small world we live
upon ......ferreter
