RSSCategory 4 Hurricane Dean Takes Aim on Jamaica … Could Soon be Category 5
Hurricane Dean has already cause death and damage in its path in the Caribbean. Hurricane Dean, now a category 4, takes aim at Jamaica. Dean has already killed at least 3 people and now Hurricane Dean bears down on Jamaica. It is being predicted that when Hurricane Dean hits Jamaica it could be a category 5 with winds greater than 155 mph.
Dean was forecast to thrash Jamaica with 160 mph winds, or Category 5 intensity, up to 20 inches of rain, storm surge and large battering waves, with the onslaught beginning Sunday morning. The system, with hurricane-force winds extending 70 miles from its core, was to be directly over the small island nation by Sunday afternoon.
Also facing peril: the Cayman Islands, which are about 200 miles northwest of Jamaica and in Dean’s path. The storm was expected to rumble over those resort islands on Monday while retaining its brute force. (Sun Sentinel)

Al Gore’s Global Warming on Display this Weekend
Al Gore has ranted about Global warming and that its the greatest threat to our society. 
Obviously Al Gore missed the “global war” on terrorism and he also may be turning a blind eye to the weather this Easter holiday weekend. I guess this abnormally cold weather is a result of global warming as well?
Forecaster Blasts Gore on Global Warming
A top hurricane forecaster called Al Gore “a gross alarmist” Friday for making an Oscar-winning documentary about global warming.
“He’s one of these guys that preaches the end of the world type of things. I think he’s doing a great disservice and he doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” Dr. William Gray said in an interview with The Associated Press at the National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans, where he delivered the closing speech.

Record lows for the Masters Golf tournament in Augusta, GA.
AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) – Ear-muffs and mittens, parkas and fleece…the patrons of Augusta National looked dressed for skiing rather than the third round of the Masters on Saturday.
“I’m wearing long johns, a sweater and a jacket,” Roberta Goslen of Conyers, Georgia told Reuters. “I’m ready.”
Overnight temperatures fell below freezing and with icy winds gusting to 20-mph, talk turned to wind-chill numbers among the fans who staked out prime positions at the par-three 16th.
8.0 Magnitude Earthquake Hits South Pacicific and Tsunami Wave Hits the Solomons
A massive 8.0 magnitude earthquake hit the South Pacific. Since the initial earthquake there 
have been numerous aftershocks in the area as well. The undersea earthquake sent a tsunami crashing into the Solomon Islands.
Police and residents said a wave about 10 feet high struck the western town of Gizo, inundating buildings and causing widespread destruction. A man who answered the telephone at the Gizo police station said there were initial reports that eight people, six of them children, had been killed by the tsunami but they were still unconfirmed. The phone cut out abruptly before the man gave his name.
Gizo resident Judith Kennedy said water “right up to your head” swept through the town.
“The waves came up probably about 10 feet and swept through town,” he told Australia’s Nine Network television by telephone. “There’s a lot of water damage and a lot of debris floating around,” he added.
“Ten feet of water washing through town—you can imagine what damage it has done here.” (Breitbart)
