the party location changed slightly,
but significantly for the southeast.
Erika is still shifting westwards,
no Landfall in Puerto Rico, so not knocked down , yet, but heavy injuries licking.
the "estimated" Center(no center area to see on sat shots, it is estimated by the over all movement and swing of the system, by the NHC), passed south of the Mona Channel and is approaching to pass south of Saona.
the models for steering wind forecasts, tuen it NW at any moment. such can wait hours, it can happen right now.
a landfall anywhere on the DR-South is very likely during today, but no chance to tell where.
the storm is anyways wide enough and will bring it's winds to everywhere, so please no jealousy by some folks, believing that others get more to see, lol.
Tropical Storm Force Winds are capable to cover DR soil completely at once, as they reach far enough out off the Center, 150miles on the north and western side by actual placement of the center region.
stay at home, watch the news, chitchat the usual stuff on DR1 as long as the power is on, and STAY AT HOME!.
this could bring some regions way more waterloads than necessary to fill the ponds.
a landfall onour grounds should knock down the storms powers quickly, it is unstable and not running well.
a slow drift/walk along our southshores would provide for today many many hours of TS Force winds to the south but spare us from the hefty E/S'ern rainloads.
time to hit da road to the Marina
if we still have power, will be back on here later
