.But in our culture in Guadeloupe and i tkink the others carib islands, we have often attribute that the abundance of fruits always means "a cane for us" in many seasons during the past.
The ancients often were looking at the trees the flowers and others signs ( dogs, cows...) and the abundance of fruits has often be a remarquable critera in some seasons, but as usual we should be prudent in this assertion, that's pretty subjective and inked in our way of life , our roots...our folks lol.
But for me... it's a way to introduce my subject, and today i was surfing on the net on stormcarib.com , and i thought about this thing...because someone has cleary talked about that, without speaking any future or thread , but i have suddenly the
....so i wonder if this is an interresting sign to get for you in the others islands ( Windwards Leewards Northern Leewards PR etc....) and for you my others friends from 
. 
If you have infos during the past seasons, canes hitting your island, country, all the signs before i would be proud to learn it and happy to read it.

Abundance of Fruits

"The August Bank Holiday weather here has been fantastic, lots of sunshine with a great breeze. We have been bathing in the river as it is definitely cooler than the sea.
On holidays people go to the rivers and yesterday was no exception. The part of the river we live very close to is where the swing bridge was swept away in hurricane David. The river here is wide and deep, there is a great rock for diving or jumping off into the cool waters. The Wacky rollers who take tourists down the river in tubes and canoes use this spot to start their tour. In the winter months with the cruise ships utilizing this facility it can become a bit congested. Tubing is a great way of seeing the river from a different perspective, we have not had this adventure yet, but are putting it on our to do list!
We can't get over the fact that fruit is in such abundance in this country. Most mornings we have a bowl of fruit which consists of papaya, bananas, pineapple, sugar apple and yogurt. Sugar apple is just wonderful it tastes like a fruit version of custard, it is creamy and rich and smooth; we are growing it in the garden. The avocados are in abundance and starting to fall ripe off the trees. We really could be totally self sufficient if we wanted to be vegetarian which we of course we don't. The dogs are amazing because they are forever turning up with bunches of bananas, papaya and coconuts full of rich milk. We literally have food dropped at our door. It truly is amazing. We thank our blessings.
Once again we had a lot of rain in the night, which was fortuitous as we planted a load of lettuce in the garden yesterday. It seems to rain every night and be sunny all day the conditions could not be better for growing. We feel we live in a paradise, literally the garden of Eden".
In my opinion, i remembered in 1998 and 1999 when we have Georges 1998 and Lenny 1999...an amazing abundance of fruits were evident , i personnaly see that, and the most evident was the leetches especially
near St Claude, HUC one of our nicitiest correspondant from the carib island of Basse Terre ( Basse Terre is just near St Claude) surely knows that much more than me lol , St CLaude is near our Volcano La Soufrière, so it's moist and bit fresh here, "the perfect conditions " in this area to see in some years letchees developping that depends...in abundance . Whereas i love this fruit ( hummm 
). It's very special to have leetchees in Guadeloupe, often rarely, but but but...frequently ...the years with leetchees have sometimes indicated a trend to " see something for us" given the ancients 
. I have not researchs on this, maybe HUC from Basse Terre have surely more infos on that, he has pretty interresting docs in store concerning our weather here, and hope that you others islanders and friends from can " help me", on this "type of occurence"( can we speak about that too, should it verifies too that's my aim goal too ).Moreover, in 1998, 1999 we have had in profusion
mangos too, and avocados and muche more fruits, i forgot the others....everbody was speaking in the island of Guadeloupe about that .But, curiously in these two years ( 1998, 1999) there was not any dots for the ancients: "something should hit Guadeloupe". I don't have any infos from them this year, but i should in cas of and for my personnal curiosity.
Whereas sometimes, there is many signs testifying that something is going to hit an island or a country....Whereas, do not forget that i stay in our folk, myth, because it's typical from the islands with maybe some differencies, and afterwards it's a way to a get our roots inked in our skin and too... a little way to secure us against mother nature ( a time..lol).
If you have any info on this i will be glad, i always want to anticipate a real thread and be the more informative as possible
.Note that i don't want to say that this year given my thread and the reply from this report of Lisette Stevens that we would have to deal with something,( but i have a flash) to classify and analyse all the signs before a cane for example....
As usual thougts are welcomed on...i hope...this wide subject.
Nice regards from Guadeloupe, Gustywind.

.
