In September of 2003, Bermuda was hit by Hurricane Fabian.
In its aftermath, we were left with death and destruction that we had never experienced in generations.
Islandwide, entire roads were gone, roofs were gone, retaining walls gone, and electricity gone.
Essentially, nearly 50 percent of our island was in darkness due to half of our electrical network destroyed. Under normal circumstances, it would have taken near six months to rebuild if we only had Bermudian linesmen.
Fortunately for us, within 24 hours, over 100 linesmen from around the Caribbean, including their tools, and needed equipment came to our aid. All, completely paid for by their respective countries and The Caribbean Electric Utility Services Corporation [Carilec].
