Caribbean Braces For Possible Hurricane As Emily Storm Gathers Steam
Miami (AFP) Jul 13, 2005 The Caribbean braced Tuesday for a possible hurricane as Tropical Storm Emily roared across the Atlantic, just days after Hurricane Dennis left at least 62 people dead in Cuba, Haiti and the southern United States. The governments of Barbados, Grenada, the Grenadines, St. Vincent and St. Lucia issued hurricane warnings, meaning they could be slammed by hurricane conditions within 24 hours, according to the Miami-based National Hurricane Center. Emily will reach the islands late Wednesdays, the center said. At 2100 GMT, the storm was 765 kilometers (475 miles) east-southeast of Barbados, moving at 32 kilometers (20 miles) per hour, according to the center. The storm's maximum sustained winds clocked at 85 kph (50 mph). It was expected to turn west-northwest in the next 24 hours Hurricane Dennis lashed the Caribbean last week, leaving at least 40 dead in Haiti, 16 in Cuba and one in Jamaica. It then hit the southern United States over the weekend, killing at least five people and causing one billion to five billion dollars in insured losses.
