Gustav to threaten the Caymans Islands
Deadly hurricane Gustav following swamping Jamaica threatens to menace the Cayman Islands. This was what forecasters said on August 29, on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s landfall.
The hurricane has already left large damage to Jamaica – Gustav ripped off roofs, broke power lines and pounded rain that triggered landslides and floods into Jamaica.
The hurricane center said that the storm was centered 265 km east-southeast of Grand Cayman and that it was moving over water toward the west-northwest near 13 kph.
According to forecasters, if winds sustain about 100 kph and higher gusts, Gustav could strengthen back into a hurricane and slam into the Cayman Islands.
