It’s a beautiful morning in Grand Cayman. There is a very pleasant breeze from east to west and the bird are chirping! Nothing yet in terms ouf rain or foul weather.
The satellite dish is down and anything of value is at my office which is a shelter building. I almost feel like I have moved out of the house. Sunday will probably be spent putting my life back together like last year after Dean passed on the 20th of August.
The storm is still scheduled to pass almost directly over Grand Cayman. The good news is that its still a tropical storm over Jamaica (although almost over ocean now) The forecast calls for a category 1 storm right between Grand Cayman & the sister islands. Not all that bad, but not all that great. Category 1 is good considering a few days ago it was said it could be a category 3! This is probably the price to pay form sun & beaches while people in Canada freeze in February! Some may disagree, but that’s a price I am willing to pay.

Here is a picture of the early moments of the morning here. Some scattered clouds, nice breeze. A fabulous morning … which will turn massive foul weather later. Ill be blogging today as long as we have power.
Here is my beloved Husky mix; she it tucked between the wall and a lazyboy chair. in recent days she has been wondering whats going on, whats all the excitement! She is coming with me to the office along with our Lovebird!


Micho,
God Speed my friend! Not sure if you will be able to post after today especially if the net is down. My wife and I are still planning on comming down next Friday. Are thoughts are with you. Stay safe and lets hope that all fare well through this storm. I am listening to radio Cayman via the internet until they stop transmitting.
We will be curious to hear first hand how you pull through this because the news in the states is often limited regarding the storm there.
Take care for now.

J’ai découvert ton blog par l’entremise de Stormcarib.com et je le consulte depuis quelques jours. Soyez prudents dans les prochaines heures! Et tiens-nous au courant des développements de Gustav chez-vous!
Crois-tu sincèrement qu’un ouragan de temps à autre est préférable à 6 pieds de neige et -30 en février au Québec?
@Nick
Thanks for your comments. Lets hope we don’t loose power too long so that I can keep posting here. The consensus is now that its going to be a Cat 1 storm and that its not going to be too bad. Fingers crossed.

Salut Gisèle! 🙂 Content d’avoir des visiteurs du québec sur mon blog! Je suis dans mon bureau avec mon husky et autres items importants. La voiture est restée à la maison dans le garage! Je dois avouer que les ouragans ca me dérange pas tant que ca, mais une bonne tempète de neige serait mieux! Cela étant dit, 8 jmois de climat parfait (à mon avis) est définitivement mieux que l’hiver du Québec (surtout avec l’hiver que vous veniez d’avoir)
