RSSHurricane Dean Becomes First in the Atlantic, Heading toward the Caribbean
Look out Caribbean, the first hurricane of the season in the Atlantic is heading your way.
The first hurricane has formed in the Atlantic this season. Hurricane Dean is headed toward the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean.
Hurricane DEAN Public Advisory - NOLA
Hurricane warnings were issued for the islands of Dominica and St. Lucia by their local governments. Hurricane watches were in effect for the islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe and its dependencies, Saba and St. Eustaties.
At 5 a.m. EDT, Dean was centered about 485 miles east of Barbados and about 590 miles east of Martinique, according to the National Hurricane Center. It was moving west near 24 mph, and was expected to continue the same path for the next 24 hours. (ABC News)
Amigoe, August 16, 2007: Tropical storm Dean will reach the Caribbean this coming Saturday
The probable route of Dean that will possibly grow into the first hurricane of the season this coming Friday
WILLEMSTAD – Tropical storm number 4 that is currently in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, contains everything to grow into a hurricane on Friday. Expectations are that Dean will move as the first hurricane of this season, into the Caribbean on Saturday.
As it appears now, the areas where the hurricane will travel, will experience 180 kilometers per hour winds. Besides the north-eastern islands of the Caribbean, also southern Florida and the Bahamas are starting to get worried. Meteorologists do not exclude the fact that before the depression reaches the Caribbean, it will curve more to the north.
UPDATE I: Strong hurricane heads for Caribbean
Martinique – Powerful Hurricane Dean tore through the eastern Caribbean on Friday, hitting the islands of St. Lucia and Martinique. Airports closed, coastal hotels were evacuated and tourists hunkered down in shelters.
The Category 2 hurricane was expected to intensify as it enters the warm waters of the Caribbean — heading toward Jamaica.
It was too early to tell whether the storm would eventually strike the United States, but officials were gearing up for the possibility of the season’s most severe storm yet. (Yahoo News)

Isnt this going near lieruba????Hold on to your hats, it looks like it is…..
SM ; I know this is not at all related to this post,however I must ask you. Why don’t you guys report or comment on the Spector/Clarkson trial. Will this be an O.J./Robert Blake repeat,where the rich get away with murder. Yes it happens here as well. Think about it. I believe the freek killed her myself. IMO
Hopefully the Hurricane hits the Devils Island and their tourism will be finished once and for all.Down with Aruba and Justice for Natalee!!!!!Deans, please make Aruba pay FOR WHAT THEY DID 2 NATALEE.DOWN WITH ARUBA!!!!!
Vicki, The path is too far north…
Been reviewing the prediction models, and the best chance of the hurricane impacting Aruba, would for some of it’s outer bands to brush the island.
Like Emily did {I think} in 2005.
Any way this thing can hang a hard left at Grand Cayman and impact both Aruba and Venezuala???
I’ll start praying to the Hurricane Gods this evening.

One never knows!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rita looked like she was going to clean house – but she turned out to be nothing more than a nuisance.
Hurricanes are no joking matter. I wish all in its path well.
But if it happens to wash a few bodies that are already dead up to shore, well that’s another story!
You wish bad for another always comes back and bite you in the ass.
disgustedmom…..DITTO…
How do you know that, Gabe… experience?

Gabe,

Never know what a hurricane will churn-up and wash ashore.
It’s called Karma, Carpe Noctum.

HEY CARPE, WE LOVE YA!!!!trolls are mere nothings…
Btw for alll the ANTI-ARUBAN’S The more you talk The more Aruba grow so keep talking Bad Fame is Also Fame
?
I think you’re a little mixed up. The words bad
and fame don’t go together. It’s like saying
good disease. I would reconsider what you want
to be famous for before I jumped to that
conclusion.
I can just picture it now, “Step right up folks
and visit the island that allowed a girl to go
missing and a police department that covered-up
her torture, rape and murder then hid her body from her family”
We have circuses here where people disapppear
and no one gets hurt. Why’d we want to go all
the way to Aruba to see the spot that cost the
life of young girl, with a bright future ahead
of her, is WAY beyond comprehension.
You’re famous for being corrupt, dirty handed
and uncaring. Are your numbers going up? No.
Try again.
#24….you need to attend to your divorce….sorry for your misery…..but we don’t need it!!!!!
Patti:
I wouldn’t wish a hurricane on anyone, even if
they had the MOST corrupt police department.
…
Which I did not do, so what’s your PERNT?

FYI – I’m going to start deleting posts that are simply attacking the poster and not about the subject.
“Bad Fame is Also Fame”
Yes, that’s what OJ thought too, before
he became persona non grata!
Before the IRS started “bull charging” his ass.
yall are stupid
