UPDATE

The center of Powerful Hurricane Dean is now just 70 miles away from Kingston, Jamaica. Hurricane-force winds are now likely in full gear especially across the southeastern portion of the island nation. Waves are battering the southern and eastern shore and torrential rains have begun.

As Hurricane Dean heads west-northwest, the northern end of its eyewall is now beginning to unleash a harsh blow to Jamaica this afternoon and into the evening hours. The eastern half of Jamaica will first feel the effects of Dean while the western half will deal with the worst from Dean later this evening.

Rainfall amounts will be in the 5 to 10 inch range with some areas receiving as much as 20 inches. The heavy rains will lead to life-threatening mudslides.

Dean could be the strongest hurricane to strike Jamaica since 1950: stronger than Hurricane Gilbert in 1988 which was a category three when it crossed the island from end to end.

After Jamaica, Dean's forecast track takes the powerful hurricane south of the island of Grand Cayman on Monday. Although not a direct hit, the Cayman Islands will deal with battering waves, high surge, and rainfall amounts on the order of 4 to 8 inches with some totals nearing a foot of rain.

Is the 1950 storm what the song line "51 storm me never born" all about? It's on a Sugar Minott single, flip side to River Jordan, I think.

Although we had some pretty bad flooding in England this year, and in my own city, we can't really understand the full extent of suffering that people in deprived areas go through in such disasters. SO my thoughts and prayers are with these unfortunates.

But I also have to say I wouldn't like to be re-entering the atmosphere in a dented shuttle craft!
