Well looks like Dean is picking up speed and tracking to cross south of Cayman Monday morning. Katie and I went to the supermarket this morning to get a full load of groceries for our hurricane kit. This afternoon it is over to the hardware store for nails and the home center for some tarps and additional plastic tubs for storage. The mood here has definitely changed in the last 24 hours and you could tell at the supermarket they were putting in the front the big hurricane items like water and canned goods. No price gouging yet so we were lucky. We also gassed up the car and will fill up our gasoline can for the generator.
Several evacuation charters are already being lined up but the college really doesn't have a plan in place. Katie and I are still trying to determine where the safest place to ride it out is, at our new home which is about a mile from the water or to the college which is about three miles in. It is more about what is on higher ground not where is closer to the water.
Will update tonight on our status.
