Hurricane Gustav

This will be our first hurricane since we came here to Haiti. It doesn't appear to be too bad, relatively speaking, but it's coming and should be over by the end of today.


Here is what the weather channel says:

Hurricane warnings are in effect from Barahona in the Dominican Republic west to Le Mole St. Nicholas in Haiti. Hurricane watches are in effect for Jamaica, southeastern Cuba (specifically, the provinces of Las Tunas, Granma, Holguin, Santiago de Cuba, and Guantanamo), and Haiti from Le Mole St. Nicholas northward to the northern border with the Dominican Republic. A hurricane warning means hurricane conditions are expected within 24 hours, and a hurricane watch means that hurricane conditions are possible within 36 hours.
