More of the same….
Well, the photo above is of hurricane Wilma….what can I say? Last night I went to a meeting. While getting ready to go, the Weather Channel reported that she was a Category 1 storm, winds up to 80 mph…at that time, the eye was about seven miles in diameter. They did mention that conditions for strengthening were favourable. We got a bit of a lull here in Kingston from the rains last evening…however, by early this morning, lightening and thunda start lick…and more rains arrived, though not quite as heavy as on the weekend….trus me…we doh need anymore wet up for a while…we need some sunny days now to start dry out….Place damp….doors swollen…towels inna de bathroom doh get fe dry out…rass place come een like England! Anyhow, the rain last nite into this morning made for some good sleep.
Dis morning me wake up…grey and dark again…tun on the tele….Weather Channel seh de suppem is now ‘Cat’ 5 ….according to the Yanks (me nuh too fancy de Cat ting….you notice how dem love shorten everyting inna States?
) Anyway, had no idea seh the strength coulda increase so quickly…winds now up to 175 mph to rahtid…eye well tight…bout 3 mile across…mean seh nuff swirling a gwaan. I wonda how mi bredrin Mad Bull a fare in Cayman…dem really cyaan tek nutten. Probly see if I can get a call to him later. So….looking at the clouds from this thing I doubt we going see sun before tomorrow or Friday…..
I see the Gleaner reporting seh she has already claimed TEN lives inna Haiti. I believe one person here died as a result of the rains. And, here is suppem to which I can relate well….. the dutty pothole dem! Last night, I dropped in at least four easily…rim dem well dent up now. Front end need work…makes no sense to look ’bout it until this wet weather gone. Anyway, sorry to be so focussed on whats happening weatherwise….but I doh have much else to share. If you in the environs of Wilma, try stay safe and dry. Anybody have suppem else fe chat ’bout?
