For the last 3 or so days i have followed the development of dean from way out off the coast of West Africa and now it’s right at my doorstep. I’m busy preparing for the storm while enjoying the bright beautiful sunshine outside and watching all my neighbours buzzing around like bees securing our hive of a community. Who would have thought that when I made a post of the origins of the word “Hurricane” as well as the Hurricane names for 2007 that Dean would have been the first one to pay us a visit.
It’s the middle of the month, I am broke, it’s two weeks before school reopens and a little bit over a week before elections. I just hope the storm doesn’t affect us too badly for too long, I can still remember how Hurricane Ivan and Hurricane Emily blasted us back to the stone age for a couple days.
This is my last post till after the storm, too bad I don’t have a digital camera to share pics with my visitors from overseas but I will try to source other pics from my friends. See you soon, I am going to continue my preparations for a rather rowdy visitor who is on his way – Dean.
What are my fellow Jamaican bloggers blogging about Hurricane Dean?
Gordon blogs about his friend called “Dean”.
Stunner blogs about the War Path!!!
Spaz blogs about the PNP Storm
Kingston Girl blogs about Dean
Don’t worry…I have a digital camera and as soon as we are back up and running I will be posting pics. Take care and be safe!
thanks Spaz, You stay safe as well
Stay safe mi yute! I might be posting during the hurricane..or as long as the internet stays up, as i will be at work.
Stay safe, I too hope Dean doesn’t do too much damage to the island.
@ Jamaicangirl2007…looking forward to you pictures
@ Stunner Cool nuh ^_^, I know my net will be up during the storm it’s the Electricity thats the problem
@ Volt….My community is fairly safe so I am not too worried but I got a cutlass just in case ^_^
Word of advice: keep a cutlass for self-defence. If electricity gets cut off, it will be pitch black at night.
You may or may not actually need it, but I always keep one around.
Hey see you saying that ivan and emily were bad ….guys! gilbert was the man he taught me how live each day by the end of a string, for couple months if this guy is anything like gilbert we are in for a ruff ruff ride…. hope a not scaring anyone
@ Bobby…I think in 1988 many were caught unprepared for the storm and the infrastructure of the island back then wasn’t very good..plus before Gilbert many people couldn’t even remember the last major Storm.
@ Gullyside…poor guy….I wonder what he did to deserve that..lol
Lol@volt about the cutlass. I remember during Ivan I saw some cops run down a man across the road to apprehend him. They had M16s’ etc and the poor man was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
