Fox News Latino brings us an article following the development of what is now, Hurricane Sandy. The Tropical Storm formerly known as Sandy has recently been upgraded to Category 1 Hurricane status.
Effects of the hurricane are being felt in Jamaican capital, Kingston where police issued a 2 days curfew to keep people off the streets, out of danger and to avoid potential looting possibilities.
Unfortunately as the Hurricane approaches Jamaica, most residents are not ready for it's arrival. The majority of this LDC lives in shanty towns which are ill equiped to deal with storms of this magnitude.
The best quote from the article is a simple one that comes from Jamaican meteorologist, Jaqueline Spence, "We'll be getting wet."
Futher outlook shows this storm heading North, Northeast with Cuba as it's next target.
Behind Sandy is Tropical Storm Tony which currently poses no threat to land. If that were to change and it elevated or change cource it could be a terrible tandem threatening the Carribean and the Atlandtic coast.
