Thursday Morning bad news

After a full day of good tracks, the last one Wednesday before we went to bed had Gustav turning south. As we wake up this morning it has moved dramatically south and now we are in the bullseye with the storm soon to again be a hurricane expected to go just south of Grand Cayman and pass only 9 miles off our southern coast. This is the worst possible news. We will update today as we can but will be spending the day getting everything ready at the college. Our home is ready except for the shutters which we will put up this morning after my TV interview at 7:00 a.m. Keep an eye on the track and you can use the feature in the entry below from stormcarib to see how close it will come to Grand Cayman. We should start seeing the effects later tonight and will have to move our car since a southern storm means a surge that can reach our place.
