By Wednesday evening the hurricane's eye had crossed Jamaica and emerged off its northern coast near the town of Port Antonio, meteorologists said, but rain and winds continued to pound the Caribbean island, which was dwarfed by the sprawling Sandy.

I just got through to Bentley just up the road from Blue Cave Castle. The great restauranteur assures me everything is where it's supposed to be with no cows flying through the air .....
A fellow boardie just visited Bentley last night, and he and his wife had two large lobsters and crap cake platter -- five things on the plate, ya mon.

Looks like the West was spared the worst of the storm.
A lot of the island still does not have current as of this morning and most schools are closed across the island.
The airport in MoBay (Sangter International) reopened at 7am this morning! Flights are back on!
Thanks for all the updates everyone!
Rob and Lisa - Thanks for keeping us all updated!
Seems all of our prayers were really answered here. Glad everyone is ok!
It looks like the storm has decided to come visit us here on the east coast next weekend.
Most areas of Bluefields Bay and Treasure Island are still without current.
Good to hear that places not hit so hard are recovering.
My beloved Port Antonio got slammed. They are still without current and water. Stores are just about out of food and water. Many roads are still unpassable and of course schools are closed. However, residents are helping each other fix damages to homes, get food & water, and clear roads. I imagine they will get help from neighboring parishes and the government. In the meantime they could use our prayers.
Well the visitor is about to arrive here in the mid Atlantic. I hope everyone makes it through. The flooding could be bad along the Susquehanna river, the Delaware schuylkill river brandywine etc. please be safe and don't drive through the flooded areas. I know it sounds stupid, but people do it every time.
Seems like we may lose current longer than our friends in Negril even.
Hope the party supplies are in order!
Hang on man.... We're praying for you
A lot of our family and friends live between The Virginia Capes and Long Island ...
Flip - last week worrying about Jamaica, didn't think we would be looking at Sandy ourselves! We are by AC, and I don't think I've been this worried ever! They are telling us be prepared for 7 days of no power and alot of areas are already flooded and it didn't even hit yet! Hoping everyone on the east coast stay safe during this one.
We have a family property in Fenwick. Bottom bedroom already has a little water. Thank god for insurance.
My thoughts are with them.Quote:
