Caribbean islands get ready for Hurricane Dean - CNN.com

CNN.com: "SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) -- Islands in the eastern Caribbean braced for Hurricane Dean, the first hurricane of the Atlantic season, as it approached on Thursday with 90 mph winds. Hotels in Dominica and Martinique prepared to evacuate tourists from seaside rooms, and in St. Lucia, volunteers went door to door to advise islanders who may have missed radio and television advisories about the hurricane, expected to hit overnight Thursday. 'At some point we'll have just have to hunker down to let the storm pass and then pop up to see what remains,' said Dawn French, director of St. Lucia's National Emergency Management Organization. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, said it was too early to say which island would catch the brunt of the storm as it passes from the Atlantic over the Lesser Antilles and into the Caribbean."
