Hopefully the mountains in Los Haitisis will bust up the storm. They just paved the roads around Samana. I would hate to see them get torn up. And of course I would hate to see homes flooded.
it will cover most of the whole Island, there will not be much "not bad".
from what i see the eye will be over higuey then samana so thats explains the whiole storm will cover the entire island as well. which means huge flooding everywhere
I have a construction site on our Ranch between PC and Higuey.
at least the 2 solar systems are delivered but not intalled, yet.
I will see what it looks like there in a couple days.
One forecast basically draws a line directly over my house in Loma de la Pina. Good thing I procrastinated and waited to install the solar panels.
Yes, it is comin for us now on the SE.
Landfall between Cap Cana and Yuma, going over Higuey, then over Miches, then Samana.
This is the first time with full Hurricane Force Winds going over Punta Cana and the whole Province La Altagracia at once.
strongest winds will start to be present here any moment, it is already blowing stronger since 20 minutes and still rising.

The drainage in Punta Cana is not what it should be. Hotels will be implementing protocols. Each hotel knows their vulnerability.
I wrote this in a post on the forums in 1998: "Consider yourself privileged if you get caught in a major hurricane while visiting the Caribbean. Your hotel knows what precautions to take, you will witness one of nature's most finest shows. It's like riding a roller coaster. And since you don't have to bother with the clean up, just sit back for a vacation you will never forget."
Still valid today.

"Hit" and "affected" is two different things. Direct hit on PC/CapCana..., fortunately not a "big" storm.
we are in calmer pastures now here, but it is not over for long.
I hear up in Veron the area known as La Gallera/El Samaritano2 lost all non concrete roofing.
Higuey got it's visit, Miches will be next.
During all that time the Storm did continue to grow powers, running 90mphr now and expected to become a Mayor Hurricane once it left our Mainland.
Here at my place we did not receive big stuff of water, we will see what the tail is bringing the next 24hrs.
To me the biggest water loads are in the Eastern Bands of the Storm, we will not get those here in DR, but they are moving over PR and will continue that all day today. I have no radar to see the Southern Quadrants, as those will be the ones for DR to bring rain after the pass, If they contain heavy stuff.
