9. Glad you are okay.

You are right. Gustav is extremely dangerous. And people should also realise that you do not have to get a direct hit to suffer serious damage. Many in Jamaica were not too worried about Gustav because it was still a Tropical Storm. But the rain and the wind Thursday night really shocked people.The flooding and landslides really caused problems.

The death toll here in Jamaica is estimated at 11 so far. Anybody in this hurricane's way needs to get out now. If you are in a low lying area, you must leave. The wind will be one thing but the rains will be unbelievable.
