My current trip is scheduled to end today, leaving from santiago but my airline said i could change my flight for free.....normally we would jump at that chance to extend, but I thing this time it would be smarter not to.
I know a few guys that have decided to spent a few days in santiago or somewhere else just in case
Good thing it's moving further to sea, those 2 bags of sand and a few ditches were not going to hold out the floods.
We don't catch feelings, we catch flights.
This is one of the few if not only advantages of living inland in Florida. Hoping for best or at least minimal destruction to those that were hit by Matthew last year. All the best wishes for those in PR, St. Maarten, DR and everywhere that's suffering the worst affects.

In the mean time, I'm down here in SFL and the channel 6 weather guy says he really has no idea what this storm is going to do!
He just said after the 5PM advisory that he doesn't even have a gut feeling for this storm. Says he (and everyone else) will have a better idea 72 hours out. Here that means probably the 11AM or 5PM advisories tomorrow. as they are forecasting 2PM Sunday as land fall time in SFL. Still waiting to see what the inevitable turn happens. They are still saying it could even go west but the majority say east of Florida or a direct hit on Miami.
Mother Fucka.....and me with a ticket to Manila the 18th. In Andrew and Wilma it took a long time to get back up and running here. I'm not talking airports or flights getting back on line. I'm talking just getting electric and water back! I couldn't leave here until everything was working again.
Oh well....just gotta hunker down and hope for the best, This ain't my first rodeo down here. Sad to say though, I'm to old to be bull riding.
It was another nice day here, but humid. Rains expected to move in around midnight. The worst of the wind is forecast for midday/early afternoon tomorrow.
Here is SD it's basically going to be a non event I think.
We just got our first sprinkles about an hour ago.
My hurricane prep was limited to putting a clothes basket upside down over the rear patio drain with a planter on top.

As funny as that may sound, a Dutch surfer tried to ride out one of Irma's humongous waves and it was the last thing he'll ever try.
I'm reading that 95% of the dwellings on St Martin (French side) have been obliterated and the whole of Barbuda was reduced to ruble. My Caribbean friends, please don't poo-poo Irma. She's an angry Bitch and strong enough that a slight variance from her predicted path could be the difference between business as usual and the whole f'ing country washed into the sea. Take all precautions and make yourselves as safe as possible. I hope to see y'all soon enough after things get back to normal.

The latest forecast (as of 8 AM Thursday) ...
MAYBE the North Coast of Hispaniola will be spared the worst of it. The Turks & Caicos, though, and the Bahamas, will bear the brunt.
And Florida ... Jack, I hope you and your neighbors are prepared to ride it out. The old cliché holds, "bread, milk and toilet paper."

I just saw a video showing the POP airport is already flooded....
I think that was nothing to do with the storm. There was negligible rain when that clip was released around 9pm last night. Maybe a burst water-main there, or it was a clip from some previous year.
The heavy rain does not start in this area until around 11am today. Not saying it will not get flooded then, though!
So far, so good here. Rains and wind started well after midnight. Rainy and breezy now. The next few hours are supposed to be the worst of it. In the clear by the evening.
Guaranteed the video must be dated. As stated, basically no rain until the wee hours this morning. No flooding witnessed yet here. And believe me, I remember last November. Just need to look out my window for one of the biggest low spots in Sosua.
And I do! Lol. Dont want my vehicle under water again.
Not sure where you are but maybe airport is different because they cancelled flights today.. airport area is bad.
