It's not even a 1 yet!
it's only a tropical storm. While tropical storms can do damge, especially flooding, they do not cause major destruction.
Hopefully the Caymans and Jamaica will not have too mnay problems.

Actually, tropical storms if not catastrophic can do plenty nuff damage to the waterfront from 'groundseas' which can come in from a storm offshore
when the sun is bright and shining and wreck havoc on jetties, decks, seaside lawns/gardens/trees from all the eel grasa and seastone. Every October every year it seems, one of these never-heard-of in US storms can cause thousands of dollars of damage and rebuilding.

If it stays at is, The Reef (our place in Cayman) should experience some rough seas, rain and high winds... will clear the beach and patios/balconies of furniture tomorrow and make sure we are ready for a power outage... we have a further plan in case it strengthens, but not likely to be the case.
Thx for the concerns, but keep the tinder dry in case we get a big one... September is when things get active !

hey sallyjane,
Your guess is as good as mine as to what ernesto is doing!
We're watching the same weather reports that you are. He's supposed to hit us tomorrow morning as a Tropical storm.
Plenty rain is predicted.
Tiverton, you're right. Especially those farmers in St. Elizabeth. They usually suffer if even a tropical depression hits us. Sometimes the rain is worse than the breeze!
Stay safe TomCayman!

JAGIRL: Am up here on coast til October but ironically have guests departing/arriving today/tommorrow/tuesday and guests already in. Flat-calm seas so far,
rain in Belmont/Bluefields, South Coast. Clear in TB, if overcast . Carolyn's safely moored her boat in from choppy seas in MoBay. The usual run on groceries but everyone seems to be also in usual 'denial' stage, the day before.
Looks like it will go down spine of island as tropical storm. All our seaside properties battened down. Weather this past week has been good.
Reports in Sunday and Monday once
we're clear...

Ernesto passing NORTH of Jamaica leaving behind bouts of heavy rains, surf and 55mph gusts. Flooding on North Coast should be the only worry. Intermittent rain on South Coast with clearing skies. Think we dodged the bullet.

tiverton,
yup, it's moving north of us. No rain yesterday here. Skies are clear...a little overcast in Mobay. AND HOT!! AND STILL!! Not a leaf is moving.
The hot, stillness when a hurricane is in the region is the most eerie thing ever. Hope your guests are going to be o.k.!

It was sunny all day today, Sunday, on
the South Coast of Jamaica/little rain
fell. The North Coast is clearing/more but still not as much rain as expected.
We all breathe easier -- except our
guests still trying to get in thru
Miami (if you're flying nonstop to island from NYC or elsewhere Monday, you should be fine -- via Miami to
anywhere, it's still looking 50/50...)

In Mobay it was overcast,hot and humid today. No rain all day.
We got a little drizzle a couple of hours ago with some well appreciated "breeze".
But we haven't experienced any of this 'cane so far. I hope ernesto keeps losing strength.
