Great advice Colleen, so much going on in the world right now hopefully everybody will be prepared.
The Cayman Islands government's most recent advisory now says they expects hurricane conditions on Grand Cayman by late night Friday. Here's part of the advisory:
Published 28th August, 11:29pm
Tropical Storm Gustav update: 11 p.m. Thursday, 28 August 2008
Key messages:
1. A hurricane WARNING is in effect for the Cayman Islands.
2. Tropical Storm Gustav is expected to become a category 1 hurricane as it moves past Jamaica tonight.
3. Grand Cayman can expect tropical storm-force winds from the north to northwest by tomorrow evening (Friday, 29 August). Wind direction will shift southwest by late Friday night, with a peak in wind speed to hurricane force winds (74 mph, with higher gusts) by late night Friday.
4. The Sister Islands can expect tropical storm-force winds tomorrow afternoon (Friday, 29 August) from an east-northeasterly direction, veering to a southeasterly direction by evening. Winds over the Sister Islands are expected to peak at just above storm force (65mph, with higher gusts) by tomorrow evening.
5. At 10:00 p.m., the centre of Tropical Storm Gustav was located near 17.8 degrees north and 77.3 degrees west, or 210 miles southeast of the Sister Islands, and 275 miles east to southeast of Grand Cayman. Gustav is moving westerly at near 7 mph, with maximum sustained winds of near 70 mph.
6. Three to five inches of rainfall are expected, so some flooding of low-lying areas is likely. All residents should take necessary precautions.
7. Marine conditions are expected to deteriorate from mid-Friday morning. All marine interests should therefore be in safe harbour, and remain there until further notice.
8. Owen Roberts International Airport is now in full emergency mode, streamlining the departure check in process in tent facilities outside the terminal building.
9. Because of Gustav's unpredictability and strength, residents are encouraged to check local weather updates early in the morning.
