STORM TALES
AS THE 2006 hurricane season settles upon us, it is only natural that thoughts return to storms of the past. Many of us have heard of the infamous Hurricane Charley or as older folks put it, the 1951 storm. And noone would like a repeat of Hurricane Ivan.

Memories of 'Charlie' - big '51 storm - Dangerous storm in Montego Bay
I REMEMBER it very well. I was in Montego Bay, St. James at the time with a young baby. Those days we didn't have all the electronic warnings that we do today so we weren't very prepared. Hurricane Charlie was a very dangerous storm.
