Spared by Lady Emily
Jamaicans are once again sighing with relief as Hurricane Emily spared us a direct hit. In our eyes she is a true lady. Not to discount her power Emily a dangerous category 4 hurricane packing winds of 155 mph passed to the south of St. Elizabeth on Saturday July 16, 2005.
Rain from the outer bands was our worst enemy. Serious flooding has been reported in Holland, Maggoty, the New River area, parts of Clarendon, St. Ann, Trelawny, Mandeville, Westmoreland and Portland. In Annotto Bay, St. Mary several hundred residents had to seek shelter at the All-Age School because of flooding.Some families of flood proned areas were taking no chances after Hurricane Dennis last week and had moved to shelters before as a precautionary measure.
The Palisadoes road was blocked with debris from the ocean cutting off access to the Norman Manley International Airport and Port Royal.
I'm sure as the days go on we will hear of more flooded areas, impassable roads, land slides and other disasters associated with the torrential rains and strong winds of Hurricane Emily. However, I'm sure all Jamaica joins me in giving thanks to our creator (whom ever you concieve him to be) for once agian sparing Jamaica from the worst.
Nuff love

Three Ministers
Three ministers - a Presbyterian, a Methodist, and a Southern Baptist and their wives were all on a cruise together. A tidal wave came up and swamped the ship, and they all drowned. The next thing you know, they're standing before St.Peter.
As fate would have it, the first in line was the Presbyterian and his wife. St. Peter shook his head sadly and said, "I can't let you in. You were moral and upright, but you loved money too much. You loved it so much, you even married a woman named Penny."
St.Peter waved sadly, and poof! Down the chute to the 'Other Place' they went. Then came the Methodist. "Sorry, can't let you in either," said Saint Peter "You abstained from liquor and dancing and cards, but you loved food too much.
You loved food so much, you even married a woman named Candy!" Sadly, St. Peter waved again, and whang! Down the chute went the Methodists.
The Southern Baptist turned to his wife and whispered nervously, "It ain't looking good, Fanny."
