Default Hurricane Dean is coming

I guess that this will be my last post for some time as we here in Jamaica brace ourselves for a direct hit from cat 4 hurricane Dean, as it's more than likely that our little island and it's infrastructure will suffer severe damage from a storm of this magnitude. Catch you all later.....hopefully.

Not a chance of it passing us by, as it's started to affect us with strong winds and rain, which is forcasted to reach hurricane strength in a few hours. Thanks for all your kind thoughts and best wishes.

I though we would have lost our electricity service already as our power provider the JPSCo. had advised that they would be shutting down islandwide at 11.00am. Guess we got a 30 mins or so reprieve.

Oh my God. That is not what I wanted to here. I live down here in Galveston TX. and we worry alot about Hurricains. Not just from what they can do but from what the running from them can do too. Last year when so many people were trying to get out out of town in Houston well I,m sure you herd what a mess it was. God speed my friend God Speed.

And indeed the entire island.

Amen!

If you say it's too windy to fly, no one will laugh at you. Hope everything turns out OK.
