All the news here is on Tropical Storm Dean. The first real storm of Hurricane season 2007. From now to the end of October every storm will be watched carefully. We expect to see some part of it by the weekend and whether that will be the full storm or just some of the bands from it remains to be seen. It is strange watching the tracking reports and checking every couple of hours to see if the storm has turned etc. Right now it looks like it will move off toward the Bahamas and all we will get is a lot of rain. Either way we have our Hurricane kit up and ready. To follow the action check out the National Hurricane Center Web page at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/index.shtml.
I attended a luncheon on hurricane preparedness last week and today made a presentation to the Cayman Islands Insurance Association and all the talk was about this storm. It is really a different mindset down here with everyone going about their normal lives but constantly checking the weather reports. All of the radio stations have hourly updates. I guess that for the next two months we just have to keep one eye on the weather as a fact of life. The downside of living in a tropical island.
