The flooding in Jamaica has been severe this record breaking 2005 Hurricane Season. Jamaicans know all to well that every year they can expect Hurricanes to pummel their Island, yet there has not been such an onslaught of Hurricanes like this in decades. Jamaica has lost many souls this year to the Hurricanes and Tropical Storms and they are not out of the woods yet. As Tropical Storm Gamma unleashes its version of what a torrential rain from a fledgling Hurricane should look like Jamaicans are hunkering down, knowing that even though the flood water as still there from Hurricane Wilma is no matter, because it is Gammas turn to torentialize the Island and that it will. Whether Tropical Storm Gamma ever gets to a large category storm or not does not matter for Jamaica, even if it is blown apart by Northeasterly wind shear makes no difference, for they are in the path of a lot of energy. Unfortunately depending on the strength of the circulation Tropical Storm Hurricane Gamma may hold together and give them many days of rain. Some islanders wonder if they will ever dry out, while others have had enough of this 2005 Hurricane Season and they just want to leave. Think on this. |
