Re: Dean Approaches Jamaica

I think Hurricane Allen was the last big Cat 4 storm Jamaica had to deal with on it's door step. Allen passed just north of the island, though, allowing the weaker southern quadrants to affect the island mostly.

Hurricane Gilbert passed over Jamaica, but only as a Category 3. While still nasty, not as bad as a Category 4.
