Sound likes they did pretty good...no deaths.

“Jamaica avoided the direct hit when the storm wound up passing to the south Sunday night. There were no deaths reported in Jamaica, but the storm uprooted trees, flooded roads and tore the roofs off many homes, businesses and a prison block. No prisoners escaped.

Police said officers got into a shootout with looters at a shopping center in the central Jamaican parish of Clarendon, but nobody was hurt. Curfews were in effect until Monday evening. Authorities also cut power on the island to prevent damage to the power grid.”

We’ve had quite a bit out of Montego Bay; not as much out of Kingston. Of course, the fact I’m watching the Gorebal Warming Channel skews that a bit as their man Seidel’s there.
