Right now, seems to be going a bit north of Puerto Rico, just missing. Hope so.
Unfortunately there will still likely be flooding and significant power outages.
Early reports from St. Martin/St. Maarten are very, very bad. The French interior minister says that the 3 biggest buildings on the French side have collapsed. The Dutch government in Amsterdam has lost all communication with their side of the island.
As of a few minutes ago, the eye was directly over St. Thomas. It didn't go as far north as expected. I don't see it passing 70 miles north of SJU. Maybe a little, but not much at the rate it is moving. WNW at 14, sustained at 185. STT is seeing gusts of 45, but the worst comes when it gets West of STT.
Well I do know this super hurricane will increase the already intense exodus out of PR, and likely many would not go to Florida, a lowlying area also predicted to get battered by this hurricane. The most popular spot will probably be switched from Florida back up north to states like Pennsylvania, NJ, NY, Connecticut, Ohio& Virginia. This is a bad decade for PR, economy down the drain, social unrest, worsening of already high crime poverty n unemployment, zika virus, and now this catergory 5 hurricane about to smack the ***** out of PR.
Been in contact with my PR Island family and a few friends most of this day via cellphone calls, texts, and even FB. So far, everyone on my "I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU" list appears to be ok.
Hoping everyone's loved ones - who posts on this site - is as good if not better than my own.
My peeps are good in Vega Baja, and Ponce.. just talked talked to them about 1/2 ago...
Thanks, Chaco_keva.
My DILs family is in Vega Baja, too. All good.
We, on the other hand, are expecting a direct hit in Savannah, so will start the harrowing drive north tomorrow. Ugh.
