Accuweather has a video of a rain spout off the coast of Negril. (URL not supplied. It's not a YouTube video, but might end up as such.)
One JA newspaper with Monday's date has stories stating that Kingston recently a $hitload full of rain. My words, after reading their other stories: currently, everywhere, the island weather is carm. Decievedly carm. I can understand why some people aren't taking it seriously.
What kind of ticks me off is, although no one really wants to endure such a storm, the airlines once again took an overly cautious approach. Southwest and Spirit cancelled all flights into MoBay for Monday. With nothing inbound, that means nobody goes home either. That's the bummer.
It's a little like an approaching snow storm which turns into a "partly cloudy". And it's as inconvient as when some yahoo TSA manager closes a terminal for some stupid reason.
One thing I didn't consider is IF the southbound flight was going to be empty, the airline would want to save the $$. Suddenly I don't fault them as much.
The carm B 4 the storm. Everything implies that it's going to be bad. Reminds me of a trivia item about a Sunami in S.E. Asia. The tide went out. Some locals said "fish" because there were fish on the vacated sea bed and went to fetch them. But one village said "head for higher ground." (Thanks to the Internet for the story.)
PS. Bad planning? The airline story had this:
WestJet – Cancelled Flight 2702/3 from/to Toronto for Monday October 3, 2016 WestJet passengers are being rebooked on flight 2702 to depart Montego Bay at 2:10 pm on Tuesday October 4, 2016.
