Wonderful Sunday and start to a new month, but very windy It?s another beautiful Sunday here in Montego Bay. The Sun is out and brightly shining, Barely a cloud in sight.

to 44k/m/27mph. This dry, pleasant and windy weather can be attributed to a dominating high pressure system anchored over the western Atlantic Ocean will has and will continue to influence our weather over the next couple of days.

As I can see the satellite imagery of sweet, sweet Jamaica, all seems bright
and beautiful; something similar to what I was seeing when I was watching
the match. Go Windies. The first match in Trinidad should be starting
tomorrow and the weather for today is magnificent, hope it will be like this
tomorrow.
I do hope that the rains will start when I return, need to get my lawn going again, really costs too much to use the precious water in the taps. Take care all. _________________________________________________________________Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

| - [MAWS General List] Caribbean Quake |
|
"Strong Quake Jolts Western Caribbean" (Source: Associated Press, 2/4/07) KINGSTON, Jamaica -- A strong earthquake shook parts of Cuba, Jamaica and the Cayman Islands on Sunday, authorities said. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. The quake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.1 and was centered in the Caribbean Sea about 75 miles northwest of Montego Bay, Jamaica, and 125 miles southwest of Bayamo, Cuba, the U.S. Geological Survey in Colorado said. It occurred just before 4:00 p.m. Authorities in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands said no damages or injuries had been reported. "We consider it a strong earthquake," said USGS geophysicist Bruce Presgrave. "It's enough off the coast that I would not expect any major damage, (though) there's a possibility of some minor damage." Presgrave said tremors are relatively common in the area, which lies on the boundary between two tectonic plates. No tsunami warnings were issued for the Caribbean and no tsunami activity was observed in the region, said Stuart Weinstein, assistant director of the Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. Margaret Grandison of the University of the West Indies' seismic unit said the quake was felt the strongest in Jamaica's west end and nearly all of the country's parishes have reported feeling it. "My children were upstairs and I thought they were playing," said Lloyd Hill, who lives in Hanover parish located some 160 miles west of the Jamaican capital, Kingston. "When we ran outside, we saw some neighbors and they were obviously shaken." //end// MAWS Mailing List -- The Sky's the Limit ! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MAWS_General_List/ MAWS Real-Time Storm Reports: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/maws-storm-reports/ MAWS Bulletin Board: http://p079.ezboard.com/bmidatlanticweatherstationtheskyisthelimit MAWS HomePage: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/herbwx/index.html Yahoo!

My experience
Today we had a few showers(total of 3.8mm/0.1in,)This
was the main topic I intended to discuss today,but
this was shaken this after noon a few minutes before 4
p.m.
I was sitting in the sofa with my dog (coco)The
door was open as I wanted some fresh air.
My dog suddenly ran outside, then I felt the house
jerking dashed to the door,(as we are normally told to
get under a desk or stand between a door.)I could see
pictures on the wall moving. The glass door was
violently shaking.Outside the trees were shaking.This
lasted a few frightful seconds,before this were steady
again.
I looked around house to try to look at the effects
and guess the magnitude of the earthquake guess
somewhere in the 5 range) before the official
magnitude was released,and found no books fell off the
self,but I had two books on the counter that fell
off,and a cup of had juice spilled.
The quake was felt island-wide,but us in the west
felt the quake strongest.Everyone felt it unless you
were driving well fast.

| - Stationary front brings 12.7mm of rain today |
|
It was a wet morning in Montego Bay,as a stationary
front stalled across the island.
The light-moderate rainfall started at 7:16 a.m. it
then kick up in intensity at 7:25 a.m. before tapering
off to a light ,but steady drizzle which continued up
to 8:30 a.m.
The skies continued to be dark and gloomy until
about midday,When the dark clouds broke up and
allowed some sunshine to get in.
Today's high got up to ...27.0 C/80.6 F
The low... 22.4 C/72.3 F
Pressure ...steady (past 12hrs)
Today's rainfall total... 12.70mm/0.50
Forecast
We are currently in a wet pattern for widely scattered
showers to develop anytime tonight through
tommorrow.This is a result of a front which, today has
been moving back and forth over Jamaica.(Over
Jamaica,moved just west of Jamaica and back over us
again.)
Computer models gradually dissipate the front over the
next 24hrs,after which we seem to get into a dry
pattern Thursday through to Sunday with less than a
20% chance of a shower.
The chance of showers increase early next week as
another front heads our way early next week.
