Dean Rakes Jamaica, Caymans Next
Dean is absolutely raking the island of Jamaica with its eyewall this evening, and is showing up surprisingly well on the Cuba radar this evening. This satellite shot was taken just before sunset:
The official station KMJP Kingston has reported some bizarre observations (archived) this evening, which have been interpreted by some media outlets as saying they have winds sustained at 114 mph gusting to 138 mph, but the NHC says in their 8 PM statement only "AN OBSERVATION OF SUSTAINED WINDS OF 80 MPH WAS REPORTED FROM KINGSTON JAMAICA... AND AN UNOFFICIAL OBSERVATION OF SUSTAINED WINDS OF 100 MPH WAS REPORTED FROM LIONEL TOWN JAMAICA. HAM RADIO REPORTS INDICATE FLOODED STREETS IN KINGSTON JAMAICA." On the other side of the island, the other official station in Montego Bay has not reported since last night.
