Extremely dangerous Hurricane Dean is moving west-northwest through the Caribbean Sea. The current NHC forecast track indicates Dean's powerful center core will pass just south of the southwestern peninsula of Haiti, and should skirt Jamaica's southern shoreline. The storm maintained strong Category 4 wind status through the night during an eyewall replacement cycle. However, the minimum pressure supports Category 5, and additional strengthening of winds is likely.
Tourists in Jamaica crowded airports Saturday to leave the island nation. Jamaican Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller addressed the Jamaican people, asking that everyone put aside their political differences and work together in advance of the imminent storm preceding Jamaica's general election scheduled for August 27. PM Miller announced that the Jamaican power grid and water would likely be shut down early Sunday morning in advance of the storm, and strongly urged citizens to seek shelter.
The United States and Barbados have pledged hurricane relief supplies and support to Jamaica as needed. No word yet from the United Nations...

It refers to an episode of South Park where Algore was chasing a mythical creature called manbearpig.
That is the “today show” and it was hilarious. :^)
That’s classic. Reminds me of Algore having a dam manipulated for a Gorebal Warming photo-op.
lol! I forgot about that one
I was intrigued by the reference to Marcus Garvey. He was unceremoniously and emphatically kicked off Jamaica by the then-regnant social leaders of "colored" Jamaica. I'd no idea he's been rehabilitated in Jamaican lore.
“South Park”. That explains why I didn’t know ;-)
Oh my gosh, I forgot about that particular display of media forgery.
Even the media laughed at that anchorette and called her out on the deception.
That’s un-called for.
My squirrels do it to dissipate heat. They lay on their back, spread-eagled, mouth open, eyes shut.
Hi NautiNurse, there are several keys and legends, and the data is dynamically updated shortly after each set of info is made public.
Too funny. Keep paddling!
Apparently you also dismissed my point about why I manage these threads. I know of nothing preventing you from posting other threads with loads of high pixel animated graphics you desire, and posting links to it on these threads.
LOL!
With that, fellow hurricane watchers, I’ll bid the thread goodnight.
Prayers for all living things in the path of this destructive and dangerous storm.
Um,un-called for or not, it’s the truth. We are all thinking it,,,,prairiebreeze just had the guts to say it.
sorry, Eaker just had the guts to say it,,,,
