Ouch, this is a CAT4 hurricane that's pretty low down. Matey
who doesn't want hurricane damage can write off Grenada now,
maybe the ABCs, and chances could well be something else now.
It'll start climbing north in the carib sea, and worst case
it might be a Lenny from several years ago, and curl back to
crawl eastward and pummel all the leeward coasts of the leewards.
Then again, could power up over the warm carib sea and hit
central america hard. This is one to keep an eye on, for sure.

AUA, CUR and BON as I type. They say there has NOT been a hurricane in
these parts for 127 yearssssssssssssss..........

Yes, it must be terrible, with a CAT4 passing directly over
the island. Montserrat was devastated by a similar one about
10 years ago.

Jamaica and Cuba both look like they're going to have the
complete brunt of this one, too. That will be devasting to
the resorts, but fortunately Cuba has the best disaster-
preparedness in the caribbean.

Anyone planning to holiday in Jamaica or Cuba from today onwards
SHOULD NOT GO DOWN THERE! You will be trapped for days, perhaps
in awful conditions.
