o.K.,
I understood that wrong.
specific spots on the North are so called Save Spots, like for example Luperon, Luperon is a Hurricane Hole, never received any Hit of what so ever, at least I did not find any report about such.
in General the Eastshore is the calmer/quieter/less in Danger Area, and the simple Reason can be seen on the Maps:
the Big Storms come from the Eastern Side, from the Highway, they get born far away on the Track between the African West Coast and the Antilles.
what ever comes in from there Hits first the smaller Island Belt in the Eastern Caribbean, they are not a Top Ranked Rough Terrain for real big Storms, but they are the First Interaction/Slow Down/Diection Change for any Storm, doesn't matter how strong. if such Storm is on it's Path towards Hispaniola it has to pass a bunch of smaller Islands and then it starts to Interact with the Greater Islands, which are the 4 biggest in the Caribbean, from East to West they are Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, Jamaica and Cuba. those Islands(a bit exception on Jamaica straight as it it much smaller than the Big 3) provide for Hurricanes real Rough Terrain, High Mountain Ranges, such bothers the Spin and Grow Up of Storms significantly.
so what ever big comes out of our East, it takes the smaller Antilles or the British and US Virgins first and then get's a first big Hit by Puerto Rico, located right on our East. a straight Hit there knocks down a Storm a lot, and even just a nearby bypass bothers a Storm a lot, and they try to get away from the rough Terrain and use the easier Way/Path, so they change Direction.
many move instead of overrunning PR and PC straight into the Caribbean Sea, no resistance there for a Storm, the opposite, the extra Hot Waters over the Caribbean Sea feed the Storms with even more Powers, so most walk straight into there and along our Southshores, hence during Hurricane Season the Caribbean Southshores of the DR are much rougher/less calm on average than the Atlantic Waters in Punta Cana.
and the ones of the Storms who do not like the southern Route get usually their Drift to pass the Islands (PR and Hispaniola alike) on a WNW'ern Tracking, so they pass close to Samana and the Northshore of the DR.
that such Storm turns on it's way southwards and Hits the Northshore of the DR straight would be a rare exception, their usual Track is towards the Bahamas, Florida, the Carolinas or the more likely turn towards the North and then towards the NE out on open Sea where Bermuda would be the only lil Landmass in Danger, and they are really used to such up there, lol.
the ones running straight westward into the Caribbean Sea hide a high possibility of turning NW'wards on their Route, but usually not as long as they are in front of our Southshores, they need time and space for a Turn, so most likely such happens when they are south of Haiti or much more likely south of Cuba, often they reach the Gulf of Mexico before they Head NNW wards, which produces then those devastating Hits on the US Guf Coast between the Florida Panhandle and the Texan Gulf Coast.
in very very most cases when a Big Boy/Gal approaches from the Highway/East, then the Eastshore around Punta Cana stays in the middle of the 2 possible Routes,
hence we get very rarely anything else than a few days of $hitty weather out of the Big Mayor Hurricanes from the east here in PC.
the North shore get's on average more rough Days/rough Sea Conditions due bypassing Storms/not Hits, but Hits are up there a rarity, too.
as we are today on an other sunny perfect Beach Day here with around 30 family members on da Beach and overtaking the house all day long I did this afternoon not even check any weather maps to see what is actual for today.
tonight I will do so, right now it is the Hammock here watching all those sweet Bikinis around and touching the Laptop together with my BabyGirl, ha ha.
cheers
Mike
