during the live-from-Jamaica, via the internet
i JUST heard on Power106-FM
during their Monday-Friday 8:15 weather-forecast

"...Issac will/may affect/effect(?) Jamaica on Friday night..."

they-SAY-ing:::>>> "..expect heavy showers over the weekend ...."

so,
be SURE you have packed light-weight quick-dry clothing.
&
some rain-wear
&
umbrella(s)

as i all-ways recommend::::>> GET those great Jamaican water-boots ASAP once you arrive:::: compared to USofA prices, Ja-water boots are cheap cheap CHEAP, and VERY-effective

other comments, i'm listening-to on Power106, as I'm typing this post:::::>>>> "...EXPECT slow-movement (via car/van/bus/etc) because of roads flooded, trees blown-down, etc etc blah blah raa raa..."

they're describe-ing Issac (for Jamaica) as a Category #1, which is a piece-of-cake (for Jamaica/Jamaicans)

on-radio, they're also chatting about insurance policies, and how the policy addresses "..acts of God.."

so,
what does your various travel/health/etc insurance-policies say about "..acts of God.." ...????...

question::::>>> does the property you're staying at have a generator ....????.... 'cause the odds are VERY-good(?) that there WILL BE power-outages (which is the norm in Jamaica, but more-so during tropical storms, hurricanes, etc.)

oh
oh
oh:::>> a tip/suggestion:::::>> get those water-boots IN-Lucea (on your way from the airport to Negril) ---- GO to Mr.Brown's hardware store, which is at the end of the '.OneWay.' ---- your driver WILL know the OneWay.

hopefully the OneWay is not flooded --- probably not, whereas Issac not expected to impact until Friday-night/over-weekend

video 'bout Mr.Brown's hardware store (which is actually owned & operated & managed by the lover-ly MissTrench)



btw ~~ MissTrench also has a hardware store in SandyBay and OrangeBay::: stores always well stocked::: great service::: wonderful & knowledgeable staff

oh
oh
oh:::>>> one more thing::::>>> it's never mention-ed, but when those tropical storms/hurricanes hit Jamaica/Negril, EXPECT your beach-time to mash-ed up in various ways ---- e.g., rough sea, high waves, wind blowing sand, sea weed washed up on beach ---- and if the sea is really-really rough there could be dead fish along the beachfront, with other debris, dead animals & plants etc etc that get churned-up from the sea floor and tossed onto the beach:::: be careful 'cause there could-be some trash on the beach front too ---- trash & stuff that tourist folks threw into the sea, and collected on the sea bottom --- bottles, plastic cups, etc etc.

anyhooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


happy-trails to you-all

stay dry
