Prelim rain totals as of Thursday...Highest thus far listed at 37inches. US National Weather Service San Juan office took an image of their screen and posted this publicly so it's a little blurry:
Seeing some flooding damage in the few pictures of PR that are being circulated in the media. And some Cat 1/2 type damage. But not seeing any pics that show Cat 3/4 WIND damage; no real devastation of 125+ mph winds. Those winds rip roofs off, and all I'm seeing is peeled back -- not even ripped off -- TIN-type roofs. Seeing wood in the street from flooding. Seeing YOUNG trees bent over, electrical lines down. And none of this is Cat 3/4 level damage.
Where are the pics? ANY pics? There should be hundreds/thousands of pics of damage to PR. And still no pics of Dominica except that 3 min flyover by the BBC, where houses were still standing and roofs were intact.
Great video by Bernie as usual! Maria same spot as Irma but different pattern now.
Gulf, Florida, SC safe BUT.... NC to Cape Cod dont hang the towel just yet (in 2-3 days i say you can)
Interesting regarding a weaker trough between the highs if Jose disappears which would allow Maria closer to coast. He reminds us how things can change just days before
Wonder why he didnt think the High wouldnt expand. We'll see. Details details.
