I agree - however, I haven’t gotten a chance to go to the sites where I can take a good look to check it out, so I don’t have any educated commentary on it right now. Perhaps a little later.
Whatever it does, we might get it first before y’all, depending.
Right now, I’m more wanting some word from the Islands on the aftermath of Dean and seeing what’s happening in QRoo and Belize for preps.
The Jamaica radio station I was listening to has been on generator power since this afternoon, and is now doing a three hour shut-down to do repairs (and probably conserve fuel). They have a national election scheduled on the 27th, and there’s been a state of emergency declared. Most of the talk wasn’t about the storm, but about the opposition claiming the whole thing’s a plot to avoid the election. Pretty typical of our situation where we’ve got people playing politics with national disasters within hours. They had some armed gangs roaming around shooting at each other in CAT4 winds, but in general they seemed less distressed than N.O. did in the immediate aftermath. So, I have a feeling there’ll be a lot of property damage, but not a huge number of fatalities. One report of a roof ripped off one the cell blocks in the main prison facility was included.
