Hurricane Dean Approaching

Everyone else is asleep, since we had a long night waiting on the storm to arrive. Per the forcast it was to hit landfall as a catagory 5 hurricane around 2:00am, and get to us around 5:00am. Since it has so much land to cover before it reaches us, it will downgrade into a catagory 2 hurricane, which is nothing sneeze at. Here it is 10:00am and the storm is sliding below us about a 90 miles south west and we are getting around 40mph gusts. It should intensify to 65 mph in two hours. The hotel will probably try and keep us in the hotel, so I am going to get out now to get some cool pictures and enjoy the howling wind, maybe some debre. Attached, is a photo of a palm tree outside of our hotel room window, which is taped with packing tape. The duck tape was already sold out in the stores.
