Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Dean Barrels Toward Jamaica

by Doug Mataconis @ 11:07 am on August 18, 2007.

By the end of the weekend, this could be a very big story:

(CNN) — Hurricane Dean intensified Saturday as it muscled across the Caribbean and headed toward a dangerous rendezvous Sunday with Jamaica.

Forecasters fear Dean will be a destructive Category 5 monster packing 155 mph winds by then.

Even worse could be yet to come. By Monday, as Dean nears Cancun and other tourist areas along Mexico’s eastern Yucatan coast, its sustained winds could be 160 mph, with gusts as high as 195 mph — wreaking new havoc on an area heavily damaged just two years ago by Hurricane Wilma.

The thing certainly looks scary.
