Hurricane Gustav Updates

August 28th: Hurricane Gustav is now projected to pass closer to Jamaica early Thursday afternoon, having changed its track southward overnight. In light of this development, our offices will be closed on August 28th. Gustav is expected to affect the island with heavy rains and tropical storm force winds. The center is expected to pass just south of Kingston, possibly making landfall on the island on Thursday night. Further bulletins will be issued as necessary.

August 27th: Interlinc Communications will remain open for business on Wednesday, August 27, 2008. Hurricane Gustav has been downgraded to a tropical storm and has slowed, although further  strengthening is expected to take place on Wednesday evening and the system may affect the island on Thursday, August 28th. Further bulletins will be  as necessary as the company continues to monitor the situation.

August 26th: Hurricane watches have been issued for Jamaica, as Hurricane Gustav is expected to start affecting the island on Wednesday, August 27th, 2008. The storm currently has winds of approximately 90mph and has been projected to intensify. While unlikely to make landfall on Jamaica, the storm is expected to move close enough to the island to pose a threat to infrastructure and Interlinc Communications is currently assessing and preparing for the eventual effects of Gustav. While our offices are scheduled to be open on Wednesday morning further updates will be issued as the situation progresses.
