Hurricane Dean batters Jamaica but worst 'still to come'

Times Online: "Jamaica received a severe battering from the first hurricane of the Atlantic season but appeared to have escaped the worst after Hurricane Dean whipped past the island's southern coast overnight. The storm hit Kingston, the Jamaican capital, with winds of up to 150mph, downing power lines, ripping off roofs and blocking roads with debris before spiralling off into the Caribbean in the early hours. But the only casualty on the island appeared to be a man reported missing after falling trees crushed his house. "
