Well we are right at 3 weeks before our trip and Jamaica seems to be surrounded by weather. !st there is hurricane Rina to the west and NOAA invest 97L to the Southeast. As of today Hurricane Rina is not supposed to directly effect Jamaica directly but could have impacts. I can remember Hurricane Mitch destroying several cottages all along West end even though is was hundred of miles away due to hugh ocean swells it produced and the same thing happened last year during tropical Storm Nichole so we cant say they are out of the woods for Rina.
Then there is NOAA Invest 97L which several of the global hurricane models bring this area to cat 2 or 3 storm status and move it directly over the Cayman Islands and western Cuba and Brushing Jamaica.
We are Booked at the Cove Cottage at TP and our Friends are at Catcha in the Saggatirus starting Nov 17th and both of these cottages were damaged in Tropical Storm Nichole last year. Two issues we are looking foward to our trip and concerned it could get canceled due to weather and lastly concerned for our friends in Negril that definitely need all the business they can get do to a slow economy.
