Oh, so people want to wait until roofs have been BLOWN OFF until they decide to head to a shelter.

Yeah, a caller with a voice of reason!

Fodie77 · #286 Postby **Fodie77** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 10:14 pm

A caller from New York?

#287 Postby **Houstonia** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 10:16 pm

Good call - the guy from NY is asking that the people go to the shelters.

true canegrl -- and that isn't even the gusts.... we will be witnessing a tragedy tonight through a method that wasn't before possible -- we may tell our children/grandchildren about this someday.

If the feed stays up and the radio station stays up, these phone calls are only going to get worse, the stories only will get worse, and the fear in the voices of everyone will become more evident.

Caller from London -- Can't sleep worried about Family in Jamaica -- Can't get ahold of them on phone.

OH no!!!...the roof on a hospital is starting to 'lift'

No one from Kingston on east should be heading out to a shelter now. The worst of it has passed for them.

Those on the western tip (Negril, Montego Bay) probably have time, and should get somewhere safe.

#293 Postby **Pebbles** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 10:25 pm

many schools and other places losing roofs and parts of roofs

I can't bear to listen to the feed. It's heartbreakening just reading this thread.

I dunno if I agree with that the worst has passed (though I agree it's a little late for anyone to go to a shelter)..they are in the 'northwest' quad...usually the worst of the storm? no?

It's a lesson to all of us to remember the power of Mother Nature and PREPARE.

3900 persons in shelters in St.Mary (on the North coast), lots of shelters and haouses have lost their roofs. People are asked to conserve their food and water, as it isn't sure when there will be new supplies. Some roads partially blocked. No landlines, no cbs working. Inundations.

Is the eye still forecast to cross the island? Lots of roads closed/blocked.... It's going to be a very long night. Let's hope that all people, especially all of those who had the foresight to get to a shelter will be safe.

Women's carport is destroyed with car inside. Her house is having water leaks through the roof. And she is chirpy on the phone.
