OK.. You want a free week in the Sandal's resort starting tomorrow morning?
It's hard to think anyone can be prepared for a hurricane - it's too unpredictable what may happen. All it takes is a wrong move/decision and it can be fatal. Only actual death I know of what one young man who wanted to find his girlfriend to make sure she was safe - but stuff flying thru the air caught him.
Sure Jamaica is used to hurricanes to a degree but unless everything is nailed down it's gonna go flying thru the air and land "somewhere". One Caribbean hurricane I watched most of a whole roof lift off a neighbors home and be dumped 80 yards down the road - that's the dangerous time.
Unfortunately folks living a modest lifestyle in simple homes may suffer most - these homes could never stand a hurricane blast. But, people with possibly insecure homes should be in shelter areas for protection - or having a meals and a booze up in the local bar - it's amazing how community spirit comes to the forefront when shit is in the air
Good luck to everyone in Jamaica and stay safe - this too, will pass
