Observation from the Frontier
Morning ya all,
Going to be signing off with this last update.
Still have overcast skies but it was a quite night with the occasional light to moderate squalls passing on through. Sun is starting to peak through from the East and I would expect we will still get a bit more light rain throughout the day. No wind at all.
So we are going to say that on the Frontier this side of the Sierra de Bahorucos has seen the worst of what the storm had to offer.
However, finally got through to my friends on the " other side " and it is still raining hard over there and that means Perdenales and Haiti are in for another day of storms as the trailing rains finally past on by.
So Matthew is off to visit the US for a few days and it will be interesting to see just what happens up there.
take care my friends...will check back in when something of note happens here on the Frontier.

these shots of Haiti after other hurricanes will give a more accurate impression of what it probably looks like,, We will have more accurate photos soon https://www.google.com.do/search?q=...WjjP25AltH0EdEBY431DU3V&imgrc=lrsg-LNCmCacJM:
the first video is DR, the last scenes are from the site when landslide killed two children.
the pix I posted was Gonaives.. that city will most likely be the hardest hit because of its geography. Did not want to imply that all of Haiti will look like that.
Better wait for these pictures then instead of posting pictures of 8 years ago because the pictures or videos at hand aren't bad enough to tell the story you want to tell?!
Exiting POP y'day, we saw no sign of weather problems
totally normal at the airport except for flight diversions east
to avoid the storm

Not sure if this was caused by the rain but on the 'networks' this message about the tunnel 27 / defillo and Carmen Mendoza:

here on the East even the Sun comes thru once in a while.
skies change between light grey and Sun.
a bit of a light Breeze, the Currents co,me from the South, completely unusual here, so all those boats ankered along the Beach of whom you usually see their Back with their name on it, are now pointing towards the Beaches.
today is the day of Matthew's Wake, the event is not over, yet.
the closer to the West of Hispa?iola the harder the effects.
this Storm that passed by was very big on size and is of course spinning Counter-Clockwise,
so depending on your location and actual positioning of the Storm/which Quadrant you are in, you get winds and rains from the S and SW.
physically it is gone away from our Territory,
but if you are in one of the numerous vulnerable areas endangered for Mudslides and flooding rivers, stay focused, as just a little bit "extra Water" from a small cluster sent out in the Wake, could trigger something like a Mudslide at a formerly water-battered location.
what stays up at its place during today will survive.
this Storm kept it's powers incredibly high considering 2 landfalls in just one day and both during interaction with highest Territories.
this morning it is still running 115mph windspeeds.
it looks like the Eastern US from Fl up to the N should soon get ready for a tough ride.

yes.,. sorry.. only correcting the misleading BBC headline that talked about the damage to Haiti..and showed slides of the DR. I certainly do not WANT to te ll a bad story of Haiti and will be absolutely thrilled if there is not any flooding whatsoever in Gonaives. So far the reports out of Haiti are not bad.. PauPrince was spared and there are only 5 deaths reported. So that is a good thing. Reports have not come in yet from Gonaives.
The southern peninsula has been termed "the bread basket" although I am not sure how accurate that is. The most damage will be to the crops.
Here are pictures of Cuba

Thought Dominicans in particular might appreciate this photo .. tagged from Jeremie which is the largest city on the northern side of the Southern peninsula.. and should get the award for best photo out of Haiti.. for Hurricane Matthew,,
as it is quite adorable

I don't think that photo is from Haiti LOL I'm sure that's some dominican barrio
in addition to the photo,
I add the definition of 'insouciance' from my namesake's dictionary
....http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/insouciance..... send that to #insouciance .
very a propos, as we say

indeed.. you are probably right.. the person who posted is quite an enigma.. only 14 followers and only follows 15.. most of them rosacrucians.. and masons,, plus the US Embassy in Haiti and one very high Haitian American who has his fingers in every coup.. nevertheless, it circulates with the hashtags.. of Jeremie.. There are .. actually.. predominantly tall quite white white people in Jeremie, I have an oil painting of such on my wall here - so .. unless we can actually get there.. the photo stands..
My new favorite word: "insouciant", it used to be serendipity by the way LOL
