I was listening to Jamaica's Power 106

[Subdivisions]

radio station earlier and turned it off to watch the Sunday gnus shows and I just went to turn it back on and I'm getting an error.

Link: http://www.go-jamaica.com/power/ (Real or Winamp Players)

Is anyone else getting this error and if so, is it because they've shut down the power and headed for the hills?

I knew they were going to cut the electricity but I guess I assumed the broadcast would continue during the storm.

1. Just tried and got message "server has reached capacity and cannot

handle additional streams, try again later" or some such.

[dipsydoodle]

2. "Malaise" is in Jamaica

Touch base to let us know your ok please.

[malaise]

4. We're fine

Still have power. Try 93.7 on the web or Radio Jamaica. Irie FM should be the best as they're in Ochi. Once power goes, expect to lose connections.

We'll be OK. The eye is not coming ashore and Dean continues to move West - the best news we can expect. We anticipate major South coast damage and the people in two vulnerable communities - Port Royal and Portmore refuse to move so some of them may lose their lives. Fifty buses were sent for them but it's their decision to value property over personal safety.

No major effects so far - just rain and some wind howling in the passage.
Thanks - we'll be OK but we anticipate major damage to vulnerable homes, particularly on the south coast. There will be loss of life if people don't heed warnings and probably for some unlucky people. The coffee pot is full and the neighbours sure have their bags of herb on alert. :D

6. Stay safe, malaise!

Obviously the Weather Channel was wrong about the 10 am shutdown.

12. Our FM radio stations have eben playing Bob since last night

we have several battery radios so we're irie.

[malaise]

13. Expect them to be wrong on several other

issues.

[dipsydoodle]

7. Glad to hear you're ok

Hope you've got a wind up gramophone to listen to Bob if the power goes down....irie.

[HeeBGBz]

24. I'm glad you're doing okay, Malaise

I've been listening to Nationwide Radio. The more I listen to more I wished I lived there. I hope for everyones safety.

25. My thoughts are with you

and everyone in Jamaica. We are having a hell of a thunderstorm here in Virginia, and I'm scared to death!:scared:
I know it doesn't compare to anything you are going through. Take care, stay inside, and smoke a little for me. Goodnight, friend.:hug:

3. Weather Channel said power was shut down at 10 am this morning

[malaise]

5. Ignore everything they say

This is sport to the media vultures. They are here seeking excitement and pissing us off. Just listen to Steve Lyons.

8. Will do!

It was Mike Seidel who reported that the power had been shut down.

[Kajsa]

11. I'm glad to hear you're OK, Malaise.

And thanks for the true, factual update on the hurricane.

Yeah, those media vultures want their " story" no matter if they are in the way,
peddling hysteria or whatnot!

:grr:

I hope more people decide to move inland.

Stay safe.

:hug:

[malaise]

15. Thanks n/t

[Terri S]

9. they just showed on the weather that the eye is going south

So if it continues that way, the worst of the winds will be at the southern edge of Jamaica and they will not be hit direct. It's still a huge storm, but that's a little better news. Hang in there, Malaise!

[malaise]

14. Thanks n/t

[eleny]

10. I just got in

Weather report on now - they expect the hurricane to hit in the next 24 hours.

[malaise]

16. The eyewall will hit us but the eye will pass 90miles South

of Jamaica.

18. Thanks and be safe!

17. Here's a web cam from

St Elizabeth -south coast.

[eleny]

19. thanks, I'm able to see it

[malaise]

20. They will be battered later this evening

Enjoy it while the camera still exists :D

[eleny]

21. I heard some comments about the Pedro Cays

Fishermen were advised to leave by the Coast Guard but they haven't left. If I heard the conversation right, there were about 50 people there. They'd be in Dean's path if my geography is accurate. Google Earth wasn't any help but Wiki had some info aout them being south and west of Jamaica.

The cam is still going but who knows what tomorrow will bring.
