that storm positions shown as NOW is just a estimate from the old tracking from 11AM this morning.
the NHC did not update any tracking nor position data since then.
please dont show such things, the Storm could be elsewhere.

it sure is already over water and i guestimate the new walls to be finally found a tad bit towards the NE of the former center, simply because there are the highest powers, so they will assist best to rebuild the storm there.
by the 2PM update that shoud already be finished, up and running.
we will see where and TO Where.
I don't like my early winds here not a little bit,
but on the other hand we knew it will come close at least.

"Hi Mike
Living in Gaspar hernandez on the North Coast between Rio San Juan and Caberete.
Been monitoring and on the fence as to whether to board up or not. Its just a few hours work as I have a setup where I slide Plywood between an outside Support and inside support and screw in on both sides but it seemed it may not be required until I looked at the 11 am update , the cone seems to have moved a bit south Putting us in the Purple. I am no pro reading this stuff and would appreciate your thoughts . (No liability LOL)
regards and thanks "



Sorry to be a pain , I do no have WhatsApp , Should I board up? Just seeking an informed opinion

Lets hope Maria turns north and miss' you guys, I am booked for the Ambar Oct 5 -14th

Maria will not turn anywhere before it is in front of or NE of the Bay of Samana.
the steering patterns are stabe and strong with this Storm.

We need to know WHERE it is and its starting Heading from there.
as it already left US Soil the big brothers left us, we stay blind.
waiting for the 2PM public advisory.
then we will have to wait for the 5PM update, but by then we will see it anyways with our own eyes.
Nuke big brotha and nuke building a DR Radar.

I hope you won't need boards.... but clear the outside of anything that can fly.

Were you there last week....most people are doing the same prep

Go to an App store online and load WhatsApp.... all of RD uses it

Take all precautions !  No point in waiting.  We may not know until much later today.

Lifestyles has not given the guests some directions? That's scary.

I would not want to be in a room that faces north or west. I would want to know where the "safe area" is. I would want lots of bottled water. Extra towels. Some food that does not need refrigeration and can be eaten cold as is. Does their generator work for where you are? Flashlights/batteries? Do they have medical staff and at least basic first aid kits?

If Maria does as Irma did, then I would not want to be out in the open or open a north or west side door or window. Irma was kind to us but we really don't know what Maria will bring.

That is not true, my son works there in the administration and they have very specific plans and have info meetings with staff every hour and information meetings with guests as well.

Mike, they must be in front of your door :D

yes, the staring picture shows it here, but the video won't load, i guess my internet is too slow, too many people in lil town are connected now.

Wind continues rising.
this will be more than just close, considering the still far distance.
await TS Force for looong hours and be aware that we will be on the border for H-Force winds.
stay at your choosen safe place, leave the video coverage to the dumbs who have nothing to loose.
2PM cant come soon enough, darn.

Getting this from https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/atlantic/2017/hurricane-maria

from the 11 update.
"The initial motion is northwestward, or 305/10 kt. This northwestward motion is forecast to continue for the next 48 hours,"

Accurate ?

I was responding to another post that indicated that the person staying there had no idea what to do. Perhaps he missed the directions of the staff and perhaps I should have asked him "have you asked anyone?". My fault and I also found it odd that a place such as Lifestyles with a good reputation didn't/wouldn't have a good emergency plan in place. I've been reassured that they have and I hope that the original person asking has been also.
