Ivan Advisories

[charleston_hugo_veteran]

Sometimes these post get lost in an odd direction. I agree, there is definitely lots of info to digest there but, the point is, what do you think of his forecast?

sorry.. I would like to know in short detail what it says....lol..just direction wise!

I think that they want people to just post links only so that the server won't crash again.

The Power has been shut off in all of Jamaica by the Jamaican Power Company.

Power106 continues to broadcast over the net. Friday evening 5PM newscast notes: Many citizens have refused to seek shelter and otherwise follow directives of public officials. The Prime Minister has declared a "State of Public Emergency" to last one month in which citizens's "freedom of assembly", "freedom from search", "freedom of movement", and "other freedoms" will be suspended. Much discension and division among the citizenry. Numerous roads on the island are blocked by fallen trees, flooding and high seas. Hanover Bridge blocked by bamboo trees that have "washed into the mouth of the bridge." Power has been shut off on the island by JPS. One man being treated for gunshot wounds that occurred in a shelter. Water supply in some areas already being disrupted. KPH hospital has moved patients to more secure area as roof is leaking. Hospital working with skeleton staff and attempts to reduce patient population by half were not very successful. Cell phones systems expected to fail. Port Royal residents are refusing to leave because they have faith that God will protect them. Port Royal is especially vulnerable to storm surge. In Dominican Republic four children swept to sea and killed by high waves from Ivan who was over 200 miles away. Citizens warned repeatedly that the worst conditions are yet to come. Jamacian meteorologist estimates current winds in Jamaica at 140km (87 mph).

Just read on a Jamaica message board that they believe that rapid intensification is underway. An unconfirmed report from Kingston is that they are experiencing 20 ft waves already. Power is off island-wide.

God this is going to be a horrible event that could make history! They'll need a lot of aid and help from other countries in dealing with security. I hope other nations are ready and willing to step in and help in the aftermath.

God have mercy on them.

Tom Terry, Orlando WFTV Met, just agreed with you on the more north trend and a Kingston hit. Bad news for us (long term), but even worse news for the capital of Jamaica.

I could have told them that an hour ago.

Good report Possum. Read on a Jamaica message board that Kingston is experiencing 20 ft waves already. Gosh, based on your report, I don't even want to think...

A near cat 5 hurricane will completely devastate the Island. Gilbert was a cat 3 and Jamaica suffered terribly

Holy crap it is almost back to where it was in Pressure. In that wind can't be right?

Mello1, as has been repeated constantly, using the "img" tag does NOT increase strain on storm2k. It makes no difference if you provide the image link as text, or embed the image link as an "image" in the html-- it does not impact the storm2k database or bandwidth in either case.
