Prayers for Jamaica
----------------------------------------------------------

As Hurricane Dean approached catastrophic Category 5 strength, the storm's core took direct aim at Jamaica as its outer bands pounded Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
---------
"Hurricane Dean blasted into Jamaica on Sunday, its bursts of rain and wind downing trees, flooding streets and heralding the arrival of a fierce storm capable of inflicting casualties and extensive damage.
Torrential rain fell in Kingston, flooding the capital's streets. The wind built steadily, toppling trees one after the other and cutting power. Forecasters warned of sustained 145-mph winds before it was all over.
"Remain calm. Do not panic," the government urged residents early Sunday. "Your ability to act logically is important during stressful events like a hurricane."
Dean was predicted to pound the island and its residents -- some of whom refused to flee its vulnerable coast -- with brutal wind, up to 20 inches of rain and a nine-foot storm surge that could inundate parts of the shoreline.
