Last night the Bahamas Tourist Board site still carried a special promotion, urging tourists to visit the Marsh Harbor and Treasure Cay, Abaco, just two days after that island took a direct hit from Hurricane Jeanne.<\/p>\n
\nNo news updates on Jeanne were posted on the Board\uff92s site, which instead touted vacation packages to Abaco for between $403 and $496. <\/p>\n
\nThe latest news on storms was posted on Friday, September 24 and touted the islands recovery from Frances, the first hurricane to hit this month. <\/p>\n
\n\uff93All airports, deep water harbors and most hotels up and running; Grand Bahama Island promptly restoring tourism facilities,\uff94 said the statement, which ironically was posted a day before Jeanne tore into the islands again.<\/p>\n
\nLast night, news reports indicate areas in Freeport were flooded with as much as 6-feet of water while many houses remained roofless as trees added to furniture and appliances that littered the street.<\/p>\n
\nNo news was available from Abaco because of downed telephone lines.<\/p>\n
\nHowever, no deaths were reported to date.<\/p>\n
\nMeanwhile, the U.S. State Department last night still maintained its travel advisory to the Bahamas.<\/p>\n
