Re: Dean Approaches Jamaica

I think everyone is about 'caned out and trying to enjoy their sunday for the moment. The images (Satellite and radar) that both ofyou have provided are really something. Unfortunately for the south coastof Jamaica...it doesn't look like they are going to get off as easy as in other storms from the past. In some ways, this is the worst way toget hit by a hurricane. I believ the eyewillpass just south of the island, but the eyewall replacement cycle is basically at a point where it covers a very wide windfield. Since the storm hasn't weakened much/if any...This means that southern jamaica will probably go through a longer event of destructive winds...I'd even suspect there will possibly be hurricane force wind gusts on the northern side of the island. It is very unfortunate...
