Guess it’s a good thing they’re not trying an 850-mb run.

This storm reminds me of Hurricane Gilbert. But this one is probably going to hit Jamaica harder than Gilbert—and Gilbert hit Jamaica extraordinarily hard. I know Jamaicans are used to hurricanes, but I hope they take this one very seriously. Depending upon how it hits the swells could annihilate Kingston (pop. 666,000).
