Dean is now officially a hurricane with sustained winds over 75 mph. The current predictions have Dean crossing into the Caribbean on Friday and strengthening to Category 2 (96-110 mph). The GOOD news is the current predictions moved the storm track well south of Puerto Rico. the "cone" of the predicted path now just skirts the very southern tip of the island. In the latest forecast we have only a 40% chance of getting tropical storm-strength winds. That's GREAT news for us. If the current predictions hold, it's not good news for Jamaica or the Yucatan peninsula. You can track Hurricane Dean on Weather Underground. There's also a link to Weather Underground on the Ola Lola web site.
In the mean time we keep on keepin' on, snorkeling, riding Chocolate, swimming with Amber and Jazz. Today is restock-Lola's day. It reminds me a little of the 1950's post-apocalyptic novel and movie "On the Beach" - going on with everyday life while waiting for the inevitable. It's obviously not that bad or serious here, especially since it looks like Dean is going to miss us entirely.
