What a difference 8h can make!\u00a0 Forecasts now predict that the storm will pass under (south) of Jamaica and then make a “bee line” to Grand Cayman.<\/p>\n

This storm is officially, in my book, “The rollercoaster” : faster, slower, stalled, north, south, Cayman, No-Cayman … it just keeps changing and keeps us all guessing and messing with the minds of all the meteorologists out there.<\/p>\n

Here you can see that compared to my previous updates, it has turned south to pass under Jamaica.\u00a0 After that, who knows!<\/p>\n

The flying turtles (AKA Cayman Airways) have started their hurricane schedule.\u00a0 While driving to work (I drive by the airport) I saw at 6:30am their last old Boeing 737-200 roar to go pick up people in Cayman Brac.\u00a0 Usually the first flight to leave the airport is around 7:15 or so. Also, lots more people on the road at such an early time.\u00a0 Probably people that want to leave work early or after lunch to finish preparing for Gustav.<\/p>\n

A few cars has also started showing up in some of the roundabouts. The roundabout centers are elevated, so are a good place to put a car since they will be less likely to get flooded than at street level.\u00a0 The best spots go first, so people are putting the second car (or the likes) there a day or to early.\u00a0 During Ivan in 2004, hundreds of people lost their cars, so people take this very seriously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
