Go when the plane goes. The airlines won't fly if there is danger, so, when the plane goes, be on it

Better yet, wait till Friday and we'll have a better idea of the impact (if any with the current track shifts).

Chris, perhaps you should put your prognostication to the test.

Unhappy Decisions...Decisions

Scheduled to fly to Santo Domingo Thursday morning and returning to Miami on Sunday. Getting there is not the issue, obviously but cant decide if I should leave Saturday afternoon or Sunday.. Gotta go back to work on Monday.

If a hurricane hits PC, how many days does it usually last? My daughter and new son-in-las are coming for their honeymoon on Sept. 2nd.

Chris, You are doing a great job keeping us that LIVE IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC up to date. Thank you.

It amazes me that people are sooo concerned with their vacation plans while we that live here are concerned with being prepared for possible property and human loss.

Feel free to delete this so we can stay on the proper subject... Hurricane Dean.

Respectfully, Ringo

I am concerned with both my vacation plan and the storm. I live and work in Miami.

Ringo, I don't mean any disrespect, but would you want two more people down there if you had a hurricane that had no clue of what to do, or how to prepare for one?

Chris, you can delete this one also.

If it hits south what happens up here in the north, just a bunch of rain? By north I mean Cabrera....not Maine....maybe I should change my handle......CabreraGirl doesn't have the same ring.
