Shelters Empty As Dean Approaches Jamaica?
Early Sunday morning Hurricane Dean is approaching Jamaica with destruction in mind, but CNN reports* that shelters there are still nearly empty and a resident pleads for sanity on StormCarib.com:
Power will be cut to the island at 10 a.m., CNN says, and notes that five people have been killed so far by the storm elsewhere in the Caribbean.
*Report from StormCARIB.com; I could not confirm this online.
As for Texas, as of Sunday morning, the Model Spread [JessePedia] has shifted southward since yesterday and few models currently predict a hit north of the Brownsville area; most are in Mexico (see below), as is the official AccuWeather.com forecast (archived here).

**Your tax money at work. No, seriously, these buoys are scheduled for repairs this month (they failed in May and early July).
