Storm Season Doesn't End Till Nov. 30
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse with the weather - its supposed to be easing up around this time right?
That little circular one all the way on the bottom left is now known as tropical storm beta, can you believe that!! This has been a record setting year, really ridiculous if you think about it, but it has happened before when there were 12 hurricanes in 1969. What's really bad though, is that Jamaica has not suffered one direct hit in the last 2 hurricane seasons, yet we have been left with millions in flood and water damages from these storms.
Now if you look at the map, you'll see we are in for more rains over this weekend. I don't think this country can absorb another drop, worse if u been following the news you'll see that the west, southwest, south, and east are all inundated with water.
This country is in deep, deep trouble if the weather continues at this pace for consecutive years - Ivan derailed the budget last year and now these floods have done as much damage as the much vaunted Ivan with not nearly as great a response from the private sector. We'll have to wait and see what happens with this latest storm, lets hope some wind shear will chop it up before it gets here. Otherwise keep us in your thoughts cause things going to get worse (if that's possible) before they going to get better...
Oh and by the way, the next storm is gamma so for all those who don't know their greek alphabet:
