The fire at Jackson Point fuel terminal and evacuation of the surrounding area constitute a “major incident,” said RCIPS Superintendent Robert Graham.

He told a Compass reporter, “There was a report of flames coming from the terminal. The fire brigade are responding at the moment, looking to manage that.

“We have had to put a quick evacuation in place for around a mile’s radius. That’s taking place now.

“It is a major incident. We have a number of emergency services at the scene. The most important thing is to make sure that the public are aware and keep away from this particular area for now.”

AT 11 am the National Hurricane Center, in Miami Florida, has begun issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Earl. At this time, TS Earl was located near 16.3N 80.2W or about 215 miles south-southeast of Grand Cayman with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph. TS Earl is expected to continue moving towards the west near 22 mph.
Given the new details, the Cayman Islands National Weather Service has discontinued the Tropical Storm Watch for the Sister Islands but will keep a Tropical Storm Watch for Grand Cayman. While this put the Sister Islands in the clear, some showers and thunderstorms may still be experience over the Sister Islands.

Grand Cayman can expect an increase cloudiness and showers from this afternoon as TS Earl moves west of our area tonight. The current models indicate that rainfall maxima will pass to the south of Grand Cayman with approximately 1 inch of rainfall expected over the Cayman Island; however, there is the potential for some of these showers being locally heavy at times may lead to higher accumulation and to flooding of low lying areas.

Over Grand Cayman, moderate to fresh east to southeasterly winds near 10 to 15 knots and rough seas with wave heights of 4 to 6 will becoming very strong near 20 to 25 knots with wave heights increasing to 7 to 9 feet by this evening. Higher gust are likely in and around showers. All marine interests in Grand Cayman should seek safe harbor and remain there until further notice.

While conditions over the Sister Islands are expected to be slightly better; some showers and thunderstorms could spread over them. Winds speed should remain near 15 to 20 knots with higher gust possibly in and around showers with the seas remaining rough with wave heights of 4 to 6 feet. Small craft warning is in effect for the Sister Islands.

All residents in Grand Cayman should continue be attentive to any new weather bulletin that will ensue from the Cayman Islands National Weather Service.
