Cat 5 hurricane -- How are the Bahamas doing?

[Sean Donelan <sean () donelan com>]

It is too early for damage assessments.  BTC, local Bahama 
telecommunications company, is reporting widespread power outages, and 
intermittent mobile and wireline telephone service. The Abaco Islands in 
northern Bahamas seem to be taking the worst of it.

Network measurements sites are reporting less than 6% reachability in Hope 
Town, Bahamas.  Other parts of Bahamas have less than 50% reachability.
