Having lived in Miami for 2 years during the turbulent hurricane seasons of 2004-2005, my heart goes out to all facing the wrath of Gustav. Hurricanes are a very serious, life-changing matter, and the reason we relocated to Atlanta. Hurricane Gustav wrecked havoc on Haiti and Cuba, neither of which are destinations I sell and thankfully did not have any clients affected. Gustav did side-swiped the South Coast of Jamaica. I have been in contact with many of my South Coast & Negril hoteliers and villa owners and there has been no major damage and ALL are open for business. A quote from the AP, regarding Jamaica's encounter with this wild storm:
Gustav ripped off roofs, downed power lines and pounded rain into Jamaica, triggering landslides and flooding and four deaths before moving out to sea Friday.
Here is an article from the Jamaica Gleaner newspaper!
