Storm Update

As many of you probably already know tropical storm / hurricane Gustav is approaching. Computer simulations suggest it might very well pass over the Cayman Islands. It is currently over Haiti and appears to be moving slowly westward towards Cuba.
The latest computer simulations are shown below.
Jeff Masters’ Wunderblog is not optimistic on Cayman’s behalf.

I think it is plausible that Gustav could intensify further, to Category 4 strength, before hitting the Caymans. If you have plans to be on the northern Cayman Islands--Cayman Brac or Little Cayman Island--on Friday, be prepared to be stuck there for several days, as Gustav may heavily damage these islands. Grand Cayman Island is also at risk--the GFDL model predicts Gustav will pass very close to Grand Cayman on Friday afternoon.

We are fairly well prepared, but Majken and Christoffer are doing some final shopping this morning to gather the final pieces. Shopping is a lengthy endeavour as all people scramble to prepare for the hurricane.
