GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL STATION, Cuba – Packing devastating 150 mph winds, Hurricane Dennis tore down a guard tower at the U.S. detention camp for terror suspects as it stalked Cuba’s south coast and prepared Friday to strike into the heart of the largest Caribbean island.
The U.S. detention camp on Cuba’s extreme southeast end that holds some 520 terror suspects was spared overnight.
Heaving surf tore away a lifeguard tower at Windmill Beach and storm force winds reaching 40 mph destroyed a bus shelter. A few power lines and tree branches were knocked down and there was minor flooding.
"Actually, everybody fared real well," said Navy Cmdr. Anne Reese.
On Thursday, troops watched from a cliff as the churning Atlantic Ocean threw up massive waves of salt spray that towered over the razor wire fence surrounding the camp at Guantanamo Bay.
The troops fixed metal shutters over the steel mesh windows of some prison cells overlooking the sea at Camp Delta, which is just 150 yards from the ocean.
I’m sure some lefty will start in that subjecting the terrorists at G’itmo (what happens at G’itmo stays at G’itmo) is torture.
Meanwhile, back to reality, for those who are in the possible strike area, "RUN, YOU FOOLS!"
Arrg, I duck,I don’t run. I am presently ducking. The outer bands are comming through now. Best of luck to all.
You be carefull, Peter, along with everyone else.
I heard the torture was awful. They had to go without water for like an hour one time, and when it was bed time they were not allowed night lights, and some were scared of the dark. I even heard that one time they had to stand for like a whole hour.
It looks like this one will miss me…can’t say I’m not happy about that one, I mean after 3 times, we’ve had our fair share…although i do feel bad for the panhandle and alabama!!
