The Cuba radar shows that in my estimation, Dean made its closest approach to Jamaica at around 6:30pm ET, skirting JUST below the extreme southern tip of the island. From the looks of the radar, the extreme edge of the eyewall was on the coastline, but the clear eye was not. I'd say five miles may be about right, if it was that far even.
