Miami.– Residents and tourists alike fled Jamaica as a strengthening hurricane Gustav lurched toward the island late Thursday after triggering floods and landslides that killed at least 67 people in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
At least 59 people died in Haiti from floods, mudslides and falling trees, including 25 around the city of Jacmel, where Gustav first struck land Tuesday. Eight more people were buried when a cliff gave way in the Dominican Republic.
Gustav grew back to a Category 1 storm just in time to clobber the Cayman Islands, and its path to Cuba was paved with warm, deep water that could catapult it to major hurricane status before it reaches Cuba on Saturday and the Gulf Coast early next week.
While Cubans and Gulf Coast residents prepared for Hurricane Gustav, another system –Tropical Storm Hanna– hovered in the Atlantic. It did not pose an immediate threat to land but could steer toward the Bahamas by Tuesday.

The obeah says Gus is going to go west, but it looks like Gus is headed northeast.
If gus grows to a 3 or 4 and God forbid, a 5, Gus is going get a whole a lot of people.
Gus grows strong by drinking a lot of warm water and the warm water makes Gus spin faster.
Gus got PR, DR, Haiti, Jamaica, Cuba; but now, Gus is looking at something real big to get.
But obeah says they're wrong. Obeah says Gus is trying to go left but Gus can't spin like it wants.
Gus hasn't even finished what he's doing, but here comes Hanna. Now, what she want?
Maybe Hanna likes Gus and wants to get together with him.

Obeah says Gene doesn't know what he's talking about.
Gus is passing wind 80 miles per hour and taking a leak at 11 or 12 inches.
I hope Gus doesn't get Louisiana because Louisiana has had enough.
GOPs dispute Gore and accuse God for the storms.

oooo
So, the eye of Gus sometiimes isn't important as its arms and legs which can also tear up things.
People residing on the eastern side of Harbour View are now stranded, including Nicole Foster-Burnett, who is thankful to be alive today. She was in a car, crossing the bridge, just as it began falling

So, Gus is real strong.
Gus perhaps was looking for the stolen US base and concentration camp.
It's not really safe to be stuck in a big storm on that Guantanamo coastline in southeast Cuba without the possibility of withdrawal north inland. Remember New Orleans.
The eye of Gus was about 100 miles south of the stolen base and concentration camp.
The stolen US facility can take a lot of wind, but flooding is a threat to it.
Cuban state television announced that all buses and trains to and from Havana were suspended, as was ferry service to the Isla de Juventud, the outlying Cuban island next in Gus' path.
oooo
So, Gus is almost at top strength.
