Most of what we see now is not directly to to Fiona. Influenced yes, directly not.

This NOT Fiona. May have some influence but not Fiona. I don't see a time or date stamp. I don't hear any relative time or place dialog.Here's the first part of Fiona in Santo Domingo from earlier, not super exciting unless if you like looking at rain videos
It rained for a minute. It hasn't rained the rest of the day, and it's cloudy but the sun is out. Right now I can see that the winds are picking up.
My wife confirmed me some areas in SD are flooded and had outages so I am sure Fiona will send more after-math soon when it goes more WNW tonight/tommorrow so DR will be hammered with these rain and portion of winds in NE of DR.
that's the outer eastern bands of Fiona, nothing mayor.
Of ourse even such light stuff is flooding certain areas of the Capital and in other parts of the country, even here in PC we have road sections which are flooded after 30 minutes of normal rain. simple poor construction behavior, as we know it in DR all around.
The real stuff did not arrive, yet, and sure not on the far W in St Dgo.
This is the right now/5PM position and Heading of the Storm Center.
It is on the SE Corner of the Mona Channel Heading NW towards Cabo Engaño.
If it hits here or stays a few miles over water can not be predicted, there is no such on the spot tracking to be forecasted.
It is on its way, here at my place we have a nice wind blowing dry so far. it goes in bursts, not something constant.
18 Sep 2022 - 21:00 UTC ...FIONA NOW MOVING JUST WEST OF PUERTO RICO AND HEADING FOR THE EASTERN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC... ...CAUSING CATASTROPHIC FLOODING... As of 5:00 PM AST Sun Sep 18 the center of Fiona was located near 18.2, -67.3 with movement NW at 9 mph. The minimum central pressure was 986 mb with maximum sustained winds of about 85 mph.

The luz has been off for an hour now where we are Bavaro/Punta Cana. Consistent strong wind. A little rain now.
I found this webcam at punta-cana https://www.hardrockhotels.com/punta-cana/webcam.aspx
at my place (Residencial Punta Cana Bavaro at the Highway near Cabeza de Toeo Crossing) light is out since a few minutes, too.
Cloudy skies. Nothing like a bad storm yet in Santo Domingo, or at least in the Poligono Central area. I even went shopping to Ikea today and it was full of people.
Friends have shared videos of Punta Cana, with intense winds and heavy rain. Seems much like friends have been sharing about Puerto Rico.
