Miss,thanks for the update.
Re: Tropical Storm Watch Issued for Jamaica, Oct 22/12
The 5PM prog put the eye coming ashore between Bull Bay and Sav tomorrow about 10AM
The puts Negril (and my yard) on the "navigable side" of the eye and Kingston on the "dangerous side"
I've been in touch with the family and we are prepared with food and water.
No point in hoping it will miss. Just get prepared......

Looks like they're hunkering down, they've imposed a curfew but I don't see Negril on the list http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/...curfew-imposed
Sangster is closing at 8:00 am tomorrow... http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/...00am-Wednesday
Stay safe everyone

Kingston’s airport was set to close at 7 a.m. EDT (1100 GMT) Wednesday, and Montego Bay’s airport planned to shutter at 9 a.m. EDT (1300 GMT) which is 8AM Jamaican time. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. announced that its Allure of the Seas megaship would not stop at Jamaica’s northern Falmouth terminal on Wednesday and instead remain at sea.
