Persistent Rain Washout Heroes Weekend


The riva de come down

‘What a sinting inna di island, since Friday it no tawp rain’. ‘Me naa chat bout no lickle drizzle either, wah we a get feel like starm.’ ‘fi real’. ‘Most of the outdoor events crass the island, washout’.
Apparently on Friday there was a system just southwest of Montego Bay that turned into a tropical depression which caused quite a bit of flooding island wide.

Follow up:

One house in Canterbury in Montego Bay, St. James was completely destroyed while two others were damaged from a landslide caused by the heavy rains. Rivers have overflowed their banks and some major road ways are blocked throughout the island.

No, this is not a riverbed, it's the road leading to Greater Portmore!

The tropical depression has since been named Tropical Storm Wilma. Currently it’s moving away from Jamaica very slowly however we are still feeling the effects of the outer bands.
‘So much for Heroes weekend, all the planning for all those events, all for naught.’ I was really looking forward to getting out this weekend. I especially wanted to go to the seafood festival in Port Royal. Alas that was not to be. I hope it will be rescheduled.
Just so you get a feel of what I’m talking about, I got some pictures for you.
Nuff Love

Bruk Pocket Jamaican

"Recently, this Jamaican won the 10 million special lottery for a dollar. As soon as the office of the Lottery Corporation was open on the following day, he was there to collect his winnings.

Graciously, he presented his winning ticket to the clerk and in his best English uttered his request "Me cum fi collect the 10 millian dallars, si me ticket ya".

After reviewing and checking the ticket with his manager, the clerk returned and requested on how he would like his payments. The Jamaican replied "Mi wan all a de moni now". "Unfortunately, Sir" the nervous clerk responded, "The procedures are that we can only give you one million now and the balance equally over the next 20 years".

Furious and agitated, the Jamaican asked for the manager, who re-iterated "Sir, my assistant is correct, it is the regulation of the corporation that we initially pay you one million dollars now with the balance paid to you equally over the next 20 years".

Outraged, the Jamaican slammed his hand on the desk and shouted in anger, "Oonu tek me fi idiat, me wan all a de moni now or oonu gi me bak me rass dallar!!"
