Uh-huh. That’s why I’m thinking they are in a world of hurt right now. Earlier, watchers on the eastern side of Jamaica were reporting 20 foot waves! What the heck were these guys thinking?

Maybe that was the problem,,,I saw folks trying to tie the
boats down yesterday,,,I don’t think they understood...
Did you see the live FOX coverage from Kingston at 4:30 EST ( same as Kingston time ) ?
They had a banner up: “DEAN SLAMS JAMAICA WITH 145MPH WINDS” and the news babe on the hotel balcony remarked that people were still driving around, “but they shouldn’t be”. Then a bunch of guys in yellow rain slickers hacked a limb off a small decorative tree in the plaza below the balcony, and sauntered off in a group. News babe sez: “They shouldn’t be out there. They really need to seek shelter.”
By the NOAA satellite, I think Dean was making close approach to Kingston right around then. I can’t believe that the Weather Channel didn’t have anyone there. They’ve got a guy at Montego Bay on the north side. Probably got in late and couldn’t get down there due to restrictions.
