The majority of hotels on the Island emerged unscathed from Thursday's storm but St. George's Club in the East End and Cambridge Beaches and Pompano in the West End were all damaged.

"Quite a few chunks of our roof came down right in the front by the lobby," said St. George's Club managing director George Kezas. "It's not causing any leaks or problems because luckily it's in an overhang area. The chunks were about one foot by two feet and then the rest fell down in a lot of little rocks.

"We have now roped the area off.

"There was some ceiling damage in one of the cottages as the occupants were in the restaurant having dinner."

Patio chairs and tables were blown and there were leaves and "good sized tree limbs" littered about the grounds, but no one was injured. The hotel, operating at 80 percent occupancy, also lost electrical power from 5.30 yesterday morning but regained it at 1.30 p.m.

Power was not so quickly restored to Cambridge Beaches where 80 guests were in house. General manager Michael Winfield said he had cancelled plans to get a generator after the Bermuda Electric Light Company (Belco) promised power would soon be on. After two failed efforts in the early afternoon, lights were finally back on at 6 p.m.

Cambridge Beaches also suffered structural damage to about four or five unoccupied rooms.

"The rooms were damaged pretty badly as there were winds in excess 80 knots up here," Mr. Winfield said.

There were also leaks and lot of landscaping damage but it was all cleared up by afternoon.

Pompano Beach in Southampton suffered flooding as well as loss of power but General Manager Larry Lamb said although on the cliffs of the South Shore, the property had no structural damage.

"We are making out fine," he said "We only have a half full hotel anyway. The only unfortunate thing for us is that we weren't prepared. We hadn't heard anything coming up that there was going to be a storm coming. So one of the other managers and I came down and spent the night.

We have a small amount of generators here and we're just hoping to get our electricity back on. Belco is saying that we would be lucky if we get ours on by today."

Richard Quinn of Daniel's Head Village in Somerset evacuated the few guests he had when the winds picked up on Thursday.

"When we learned about the storm we relocated the few guests we had to other locations. Some went to Sonesta, some to Pompano and a few went to Cambridge Beaches," he said."We had no structural damage whatsoever. A number of trees fell down but they had just recently been planted. As soon as the weather dies down I will have them righted again."
