just talked to someone in Belmont on the Digicel network and the winds are gusting now and the rain has started......
they have no internet anymore and the lights are flickering now.........

Hi Ben.
Thanks for your concern. I dont think that Sandy is such a bad girl, her name is too sweet.
It is sunny at the moment where I am in Negril, we should be safe after she passes through.
Regards,
Rocky.

KINGSTON, Jamaica - Several communities in the north east parish of St Mary are reporting heavy rain, strong wind and mudslides Wednesday, as Category One Hurricane Sandy continues to unleash its fury.
Gusts all over Westmoreland and current is off from Sav to Black River to Bluefields Bay to Treasure Island, etc.
Re: Tropical Storm Watch Issued for Jamaica, Oct 22/12
Current off or power surges in some parts of Negril...wind gusts getting huge...Digicel still working...trees are snapping!

I just talked to my son. He's on the beach in Negril. Not too bad so far.
The latest model looks pretty good for the West side of the island.
One more little jog to the East will put Kingston on the navigable side.
Keep praying
Re: Tropical Storm Watch Issued for Jamaica, Oct 22/12
Anyone know if Digicel is working & if not in what areas? Last text I received from Kingston was about 9:50AM. Thanks in advance
Re: Tropical Storm Watch Issued for Jamaica, Oct 22/12
Digicel is stil working in the Bluefields Bay area and Negril.......
I believe Digicel has generators thus no problem as yet......
Lime is a different story.......no Lime......at least for this guy
the wind is really gusting big time in Negril and Bluefields Bay right now.......rain not much of an issue

Yes...Digicel internet 4G & cell are still working. Digicel is one of the few things that stayed working through the last major storms.
