Waiting and Watching

It is now 8:05 pm Eastern Time in Portmore, Jamaica and I'm at my computer waiting and watching as the entire island is on hurricane alert. Dennis the name of this latest hurricane has a lot of folks worried as some persons have not yet recovered from the ravages of hurricane Ivan,which struck Jamaica a glancing blow in September 2004.

Will Dennis be a menace or will he be more bark than bite? Most Jamaicans including myself hope that there will be more fizzle than pop.

As prayers go up and preparations are made, shutters are being put up and awnings folded, water is stored and food is stocked, I can only call upon the divine to spare this beautiful island from this force of nature.

Love and Peace.
