The last few days we have been monitoring a “tropical wave” of weather (called for now Invest 94. Only hurricanes get names) that started out near Barbados and has been moving west the last few days. It looks like it will pass way south of Cayman! Today & sunday lots of rain is expected here, but not much more since the “core” of the system is not near us. Just in case there are high winds (it is possible) all the shutters are up. We had already put most of them up, so it only took me 20 minutes or so to put the last ones on.

This week we had quite a few very heavy periods of rain. Here are some pictures I took with my Blackberry when driving home one afternoon.

Just outside the parking lot where I work, the road always gets flooded after very heavy rain. Those that have very small cars have trouble getting out since 8-10 inches (my estimate) of water accumulates and takes a few hours to drain into the ground and surrounding land (there are no water drain systems here)

On the drive home.

The cricket field. Completely flooded.
