Back in the 90's Bigbro came back from jamaica with a souvenir t-shirt with the words "Gilbert ruff no rass".
Loosely translated from Patois, that means, said with a tone of awe, "Gilbert was rough as fuck!".
This is an understatement.
Hurricane Gilbert is still referred to as the King of Hurricanes.
Now, we've got Category 5 Hurricane Ivan bearing down on Jamaica, full force.
Gilbert was only a Category 3 hurricane when it tore through Jamaica in 1988.

Ivan the Terrible has us fixed in his sights. We reminisce about Gilbert. We're reminded by the weather experts that he was a Category Three son of a b. Ivan is a Five. We try not to think what the difference could mean.--------
