Looking better this morning
Gaston (or the remains of Gaston) finally appears to have blown apart, and there are a couple of other waves very far away off the coast of Africa. So things are looking clear for the Caribbean region for now.
That being said - don't forget we are in the height of hurricane season. Make sure you keep up to date if you are a resident of or traveling to the Caribbean.
