Re: Hurricane Dean Approaches Lesser Antilles

Quote:
If the center of Dean does indeed go over Jamacia, how disruptive will this be to the storm? I am not familiar with the terrain there. It would seem that if Dean remains a major hurricane if/when it hits Jamacia that the weakening would not be substantial since it would be back over water in a short period of time.
Thanks.
Jamaica is actually very hilly, famous for the Blue Mountains and its Blue Mountain coffee (yummmy)
I think right over Jamaica could have some effect, but not the kind you will see as Cuba and Hispanola. For the past couple of years Jamaica has dodged direct hits with storms going right above or right below it. Maybe their time has run out?
