Jamaica took a direct hit from Tropical Storm Gustav with 65mph winds and torrential rain, causing major flooding and landslides. ....... I'm still waiting to hear from my grandma but, I feel confident she is ok .......will have to get her out of there for a few weeks until things are back to normal.

Here are some pics. I was able to find off the net....

I think you are beyound that now my friend, it's time to flee.....don't wait till all the roads are jammed and hotels up north are full. This thing has some deep reds and purples in the core, a distinct eye wall and it's not in the gulf yet.!!!
