Will Dennis dance around Jamaica?

Will Dennis dance around Jamaica and avoid landfall like the infamous storm did last year?

Could if he becomes a powerful storm like Isiodar or Ivan. Those kind of storms like to play over water.

Ivan and Dennis both have i's, but if Jamaica escapes this one, I'm moving there.

I think the center is going to pass north of the island.

Agreed. Jamaica should still brace for torrential rains and some gusty winds, however. They must not let their guard down.

I voted yes - it will be *very* close.

Dennis will barely graze Jamaica from the south

I lived there for 6 months when I was 2 years old. We lived in MAndeville, but I recommend highly to stay the hell out of Kingston, especially right now. LAst year during Ivan people were calling in about people sitll marching around Kingston with guns and shooting at people. Its really not hte safest city. ALso in storms like this, there are a lot of zinc roofs that blow around like flying guillotines.

Regarding Jamaica... Good grief. That sounds terrible. I remember how Ivan was barrelling down on the island and it came right up to the coast and deflected in such a way that caused the eyewall to graze along the coast before continuing NW, without making landfall. Kind of like a top that grazes along the edge of an object as it spins and moves.

I'm going with the center of Dennis clipping the NE corner of the island or just missing it and passing to the north.

No doubt in my mind. Northern eyewall slams the south coast.

Why is it a bold prediction? I agree. I think it will graze south.

The power of those Jamaicans is wonderful.
