A number of people at the recent Bermuda Captive Conference were walking around bleary-eyed and yawning. That's not because of a night of partying (although that was the case with a few), but rather due to loud sirens blaring throughout the hotel in the early morning hours.

Those staying at the Fairmont Southampton Hotel were awoken at 1:30 a.m. by sirens over a loudspeaker, followed by a recorded announcement of a problem that was being investigated. This sequence was relayed over and over.

Finally the sirens stopped. I drifted back to sleep, but was soon wide awake because of more sirens. They lasted awhile and then stopped, thankfully.
