Quick night update.
Good and bad news …
The good : The storm seems to have considerably slowed down and is now a Tropical storm and will probably only be a category 1 hurricane by the time it gets to Cayman. A category 1 would not be all that bad (not that its good either …) and should not cause too much damage considering how well prepared people are.
The bad: The storm is steering a more southern route now, aiming a lot closer to Grand Cayman. It was supposed to pass way north of Jamaica also. Now the Jamaicans will feel Gustav’s wrath and we may also get to see it much more close & personal.
More news in the morning! Thanks so much to everyone who posted comments or sent me an email. Your words of encouragement are much appreciated! 🙂
Thanks for the update!!! Living in Louisiana and the update is very much appreciated.
Saw the news this morning Micho – thoughts are with everyone on the island! Fizzle out Gus!
@Jason
Looks like it may not be coming your way anymore. Some forecasts put it closer to Texas. Not that that’s any good, but it sure is keeping people guessing.
@Lisa
Thanks for the thoughts. Much appreciated. I sure hope he does not turn back north and decides to disappear in the deep blue ocean. Wishful thinking though 🙁
