Live Blog: Hurricane Igor

(as of time of posting) Hurricane Igor, currently a Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 85mph, has been predicted to impact Bermuda with a direct hit overnight. I'll be covering the event as it happens both here, on my website, and on Twitter, reporting Igor's battering of the island for nearly 36 hours.

UPDATE: (7:30 ET) I've taken a break from the live blog for now, but fret not! I'll be checking back intermittently. If you just can't wait for the updates, however, or would like to know when I'll be live blogging again, follow my Twitter updates here: http://twitter.com/rwhiting Enjoy the show!

UPDATE: (10:00 ET) I'm up and blogging once again for another 15 minutes! Catch it below while you can!

UPDATE: (11:50 ET) And that's a wrap, folks! Thanks for sticking with me while I battled Igor! Be sure to continue following my updates on Twitter. If I can, I'll be tweeting/blogging the aftermath tomorrow!

UPDATE: (10:11 AM ET) I've been up for a while this morning, but, using the car to charge my laptop battery, I'm once again live-blogging Igor - but this time it's the aftermath! Tune in below!

UPDATE: (4:04 PM ET) The power's back on, and things are rapidly returning to normal here in Bermuda! The island dodged a bullet with Igor, and, as restoration efforts continue, so does the live blog.

UPDATE: (6:17 PM ET) That's it, guys! Thanks for stopping by and joining in on the discussion! Without all your support and readership, I may have felt the blog was worthless! We sincerely got lucky with Igor, and I'm glad I was able to share my experience with you guys, in real time!
