This one reminds me of Camille in some respects....not good.
If the current track holds, Jamaica catches a small break, while Haiti is on the dirty side of the storm. Gitmo looks to be facing a near-direct hit and the storm should temporarily lose a bit of its punch crossing the eastern tip of Cuba and Sierra Maestra Mountains.
Similarly, Andrew was a small but ferocious storm. I guess winding all that energy up in a small package really causes problems.
