navI Notes: 5

Ivan in gusts...

Woieeeeee. It's now 6:21 pm on Friday evening. From reports we are getting from friends who have called, we are not experiencing bad things at all. A friend who lives in Waterworks has spoken of downed trees. Mad Bull has reported that Dr D reported that trees are down. But we have had none of that.

Sometimes during the Kalooki game (I'm winning....yipee!) we heard howling and looked to see some trees swaying. We just had dinner, and are pausing before we go back to the Kalooki game (I'm winning.....)

It will be Kalooki by Kandlelight because they turned off the power at about 4:30 this afternoon. Precautionary measures. The water is now gone. TVJ stopped transmission earlier this afternoon, but Radio Jamaica is continuing programming as normal.

Right now, Dionne Jackson-Miller is interviewing AJ Nicholson, the Attorney General. This is because the Prime Minister declared a Public Emergency and the Opposition Leader soon-to-be-full-time-stay-at-home-Dad came on the air to say that it was unnecessary, we should "wait and see". (He's old, you have to see with Eddie). So RJR got AJ Nicholson on the air to discuss the matter. Well, him tell har that the matter is not important and that she must focus on Ivan. Puppa Jeezaz....Mrs Jackson-Miller take him on.

Anyway, we heard in the 5 pm news that some boys were playing football in Cassava Piece. Mad people. When dem dead now dem cuss.

Anyway, we are fine, not getting the gusts too badly, but the worst is yet to come.

9:00 tonight is I-time.

(oh, we've decided on Ivanna for the dog's name....she doesn't know it yet though!)
