It's not a cat 5 storm, it's only a 4 so it will do exactly what they say.

Do I need the "/s" tag? :)

You know, I am so glad those of us in Texas are still being a bit leery of this storm.

Notes on the Jamaica economy:

Agriculture employs 21% of the labor force, while representing 7% of the GDP. Sugarcane is still the chief crop. Bananas follow at a distant second. Jamaica is also the world's largest supplier of pimento, also called allspice. Blue Mountain Coffee, one of the world's finest and most expensive coffees, is grown in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. Other agricultural products that the economy depends upon include arrowroot, cacao, citrus, corn, ginger, mango, potatoes, and tobacco. As with many other islands, in the Caribbean, rum, distilled from sugarcane, is also a significant export and is considered a byproduct of agricultural production.

One of every three employed workers in Jamaica works in tourism and services. Services comprise 65 percent of GDP, manufacturing and mining make up 28 percent.
