Hope that she is safe. Hope Malaise has both a bumperchute and a snorkel. She might need both.

6. Well, we could still send you a snorkel.

Or a bumperchute.


Or maybe just a hug or two, or three.

3. I saw a video of a shack dweller that said he's planning to tough it out

I hope that's not ultimately the case.

8. I hope the east coast is paying attention.

Latest GFS run just crushed the Carolina coastline.

4. LOL for the Jamaican bad words in the second one

Here's the thing - one area is as you turn into the Half Way Tree Square and the other is at Three Miles - both flood after daytime showers.

The media love hype - and I'm sure they'll have real problems to deal with, but we need a local Jon Stewart to deal with some of this coverage.

Tomorrow or if we have power late tonight I'll post links to the serious flooding - it will be in St Mary, Portland, St Thomas, Kingston and St Andrew - Port Royal and downtown and St Catherine - particularly Portmore.

We expect serious landslides and the destruction of homes on gully banks. We also expect lots of dilapidated homes in the city to collapse.

Steady rain now - very little wind so far. That will change later today.
