Default BBC New ~ IVAN = Global Warming....
In article ,
says...
No Gilbert was only a cat 3 when it struck Jamaica. It became cat 5 as it
approached the Yucatan Peninsula. Ivan is, I think, on a par with Allen in
1980 which was a borderline cat 4/5 when it bypassed Jamaica.


Looks like there might be an intermediate advisory putting the windspeed
up to 150mph.

Quite a bit bigger than Gilbert for Jamaica.


Thanks to Jim for the Jamaica Radio link.
