It looks like Hurricane Dean, the first one on the 2007 season, will either hit Cayman or come quite close.\u00a0 Julie & I are well into our preparation.\u00a0 Last night we did a final grocery run to complete our survival kit and started to pick up stuff outside the house such as lawn chairs, flower pots, etc.\u00a0 The groceries were already packed with people so we were glad we only had a few things to buy.\u00a0 Most of our important stuff such as electronics and documents will be brought to my office which is a very solid and hurricane-rated building. We are unsure though at this time if we will use my office as a shelter or stay home ; it will depend on the storm trajectory\u00a0and strengh.\u00a0 If it is a Hurricane 3 or more, we will go to my office.\u00a0 If its a 2 or less, we will probably stay home.\u00a0In any case, the pets will\u00a0be with us and taken care of.\u00a0 The car will stay here in Savannah in our garage; although\u00a0my office\u00a0building is secure, the area is low-lying and flood prone\u00a0so all cars\u00a0will get wrecked.\u00a0 Here in Savannah risks of flooding is minimal.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The hurricane rating of the meaning of Categories 1 thru 5 are detailed on this website : http:\/\/www.nhc.noaa.gov\/HAW2\/english\/basics\/saffir_simpson.shtml<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Below, is the latest predicted trajectory.\u00a0 It places Dean just below Grand Cayman at 2am monday ; roughtly 72h away.\u00a0\u00a0 By saturday PM we should know for sure the path and strengh.\u00a0 Fingers crossed.<\/p>\n
