Hispaniola and topography

I was poking around for a bit to find a topographical map of the island of Hispaniola. Here's a good one, though heights are in meters and distances are in kilometers. To sum up, the highest mountains are in the center of the island, or a little bit offset to the SW of that. Other rugged peaks are in Haiti (west 1/3 of the island) not the DR (east 2/3). So, IF Jeanne doesn't progress too far west and/or remains just on the northern coast, she probably won't get completely shredded, just weakened. If she heads due W or WSW, she's probably toast.
