OT: Thinking good thoughts for Jamaica

Ivan is now a Catagory 5 storm, sustained winds are an incredible 160 mph, with higher gusts. Nothing much can stand that kind of force. Unfortunately, given living conditions there for many already, this is not a good thing.

Anyway... we need all the good thoughts we can muster, and every little thing helps.

Well 1 Brother called tonight and he plans on getting to a shelter if it's called for and guess that will be by tomorrow eve..
He and his ex and her Mom live in a trailer and it's not the best of strength..
Other brother has been saying he was thinking of riding it out if it hits there..
They both(brothers) live on an Island(Gulf Breeze)

Ummmmmm Cat?!?!? This is a category 4 storm right now. Noone needs to "ride this storm out". My mom even mentioned that in Grandmary's 90 years in the Pcola/Gulf Breeze area, she has never been through a storm like that (maybe a cat. 2 at the most). Tell your brother to get his butt outta there if they have an evacuation.

Anyway, sis, Gmary, baby and dh are heading out here tomorrow. Everything in that area is shutting down tomorrow, including school so sis won't have any classes. Hopefully this storm will dissentegrate b4 it hits the panhandle but it's doubtful.

I tried to email her the other night but I don't know if it went through or not, I've been having some troubles with my computer. I'll definitely try again, but of course if they're under mandatory evacuation (last I heard started at 11am today) I probably won't hear back for awhile.
