The whatsapp roup was started when dr1 collapsed because of the surge in traffic during one past storm.
Waitman has changed things and the site should be able to handle any changes in traffic.

DR1.com server capacity during storm
I've heard about dr1.com site capacity issues in the past, especially during hurricane/storm. We should not have any issue, it's running on a different system, and we have the power to quickly (like 5 minutes within making the decision) double / quadruple (or more) capacity to meet surge in...

I am the daughter of a Navy captain who instilled in me a sense that tropical storms and hurricanes are serious business to prepare for the worse. So, I personally take these very seriously.
I also grew up on a house on the Malecon of Santo Domingo that suffered a direct hit by Hurricane David (Category 5) in 1979. Have lived through hurricanes expected on the south, and hitting on the north....
Right now, the people I talk to in Santo Domingo are optimistic the storm will not hit the city badly and the country will recover quickly. The track has it passing through the Mona Channel. This is a big island. Weather in Punta Cana takes a while to come to Santo Domingo... And this storm is on a WNW track.
The 11am forecast continues to have it moving more to the west than to the north, but it is moving. The bad news is that it is moving slowly.
I think everyone is aware there is going to be lots of rain, say 72 hours of rains.
I am cooking a cocido tonight, with friends coming over tomorrow, the waters permitting.
In Santo Domingo, it has been a morning of cloudy skies with bouts of blue skies. Some gusty winds, occasional drizzling rain.

Touching SWern Tip of PR or touching Punta Cana,
that's now a freaking gambling close call.
All Hurricane Force stretches out towards the NE of the Center, but that Center can touch us and it will blow as it didn't do around here since a long time.
Late tonight and monday morning will be a hell of a time here near the Cape.

Hello. We recently moved near Samaná City. I'm in the States, but my husband is in Samaná. Light Rain waves started about 10:00 am. This forum and this metrologist Jean Suriel (Spanish) (
). have been my source of info. If you add a chat group on Whatsapp, please post how we can join. And any info that reports what's expected beyond Punta Cana through Samaná up through PP is very helpful!!! Appreciate all of you!
The slightest bounce from PR will bring this one over land here on the SE.
Tonight things can change in a heart beat.
Our best case scenario is a 85mphrs Storm at or over the Cape moving NW wards right along the Beaches.
The worst is that same thing tracking W/WNW doing landfall somewhere between Yuma and the Cape.
For Samana nobody could tell before it's way down here on our SE Corner is clear.

Looking on the PR Radar Station,
The Hurricane is now touching the SW of PR and scratching along the PR S Shore.
Let it move N and not scratch along that shore to the W.

I really like this animated map https://www.windy.com/?20.262,-68.280,7 with forecast .Can see the path of the hurricane with timeline...and set a pin on the map to see the evolution of the wind at a specific spot.
Experts can debate how accurate it is .If is accurate , it's a killer app ....

The luz just went out in Bavaro for about 20 minutes. Usually the CEPM generators kick in quicker than that and we have luz. I thought maybe a transformer exploded, but apparently not. Because they could not have fixed it that quick.
Is there another place to post about outages? Not here in the general and more important hurricane update thread.

It looks like an eye is starting to form just off of Ponce:

Here's a paragraph - North coast related - to the attached article
BUCKLE UP NORTH COAST !!
A hurricane warning -- indicating hurricane conditions are expected -- was issued for Puerto Rico, including the islands of Vieques and Culebra, and later expanded to include the eastern Dominican Republic from Cabo Caucedo to Cabo Frances Viejo. The Dominican Republic's northern coast, from Cabo Frances Viejo west to Puerto Plata, are under a hurricane watch Sunday morning, meaning hurricane conditions are possible in the next 48 hours.

But it is already there scratching along the S Shores with it's Center.
Here you can watch it Live as the Fact where it really is at a given moment.
