Looking at Windy.com, the worst part of the tail will hit Punta Cana in the next hour...
You would think they've never experienced a hurricane before!
Heavy rain off and on now in Bavaro. Still no luz where we are. Many poles fell over by IMG hospital last night so that is at least part of the problem. Right across the highway from CEPM plant. They sent me a text to say they are working on it 🙄
managed finally to charge my phone,
no poer at my residency sinve already 6PM yesterday ans counting. drive through nearr surroundings, many power poles down, CEPM is out working on them, my respect to those guys.
hwr we had it quiet today, but since 45 minutes we get mire and more rain, nothing of real wind.
last nighy wind was harsh, but not much rain.
I hope tomorrow we get power back, but who knows?
Tired od working on the phone in the car, it is a shit charger very slow. o the toilets we take the water out of the pool, the mt in th freezer is a nice ice block as i prepared the shut down freezer with ive and salt, so no food damge for a week or more.

I just saw additional photos (FB, having trouble attaching to thread) of Secrets Cap Cana, pretty messy. Luckily everyone seems to be ok. Being in a resort is one thing but I can't even imagine what those who live there are going through.
Update from NOAA:
The storm is continuing to move northwestward. Here’s a look at what to expect next:
HERE'S WHAT TO EXPECT AS FIONA CONTINUES TO TREK ACROSS THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Hurricane Fiona made landfall in the Dominican Republic early today after slamming Puerto Rico with heavy rain, life-threatening flooding and an island wide power outage.The storm is continuing to move northwestward. Here’s a look at what to expect next:
- This afternoon: The center of Fiona — a 90 mph, Category 1 hurricane — will move over the eastern portion of the Dominican Republic during the next few hours and emerge over the southwestern Atlantic this afternoon.
- The conditions on the island: Hurricane conditions are impacting portions of the Dominican Republic along with heavy rain. Northern and eastern Dominican Republic are forecast an additional 4 to 6 inches with a local maximum of 8 inches. Storm totals could be up to 15 inches for the eastern part of the country. Life-threatening flash and urban flooding are likely for eastern portions of the Dominican Republic.
- Strengthening expected: As Fiona moves away from land, more significant strengthening is expected over the next few days, becoming a major hurricane on Wednesday.
- The next island in Fiona’s path: The center is forecast to pass near or to the east of the Turks and Caicos on Tuesday as a Category 2 hurricane. Hurricane conditions are expected in the Turks and Caicos on Tuesday, and tropical storm conditions are expected in the southeastern Bahamas by late Monday or early Tuesday.
- Later this week: Fiona will continue turning northward and then northeastward this week, nearing Bermuda on Friday as a major hurricane.
looks like the hurricane has left Samana, but we're trying to check with friends over there. It appears everyone is without power. No calls or IT messages.
