Irene dumped a lot of water in specific Areas at a Time, but sen over the Year's stats such does not have the huge impact on the numbers.
compared to last year I would say we are much more wet than 2010 been at the same time of the year, at least when seen for Punta Cana where I live. last year we had the first week of January exceptionally hard rains for many days, but then it switched into a exceptionally dry period of a looooong Time, even the predicted far above average Hurricane Season kept Us over all very Dry, dryer than a average for the last decade of the same time period.
this year I would say we are above that due Emily and Irene, but not much, it is a slight difference, a Storm or 2 does not have the big Impact for a Year's Wateramounts. for a specific Month's Water it of course has a big impact on the stats, but such is completely invaluable for a Region's yearly Rainfalls. too much Rain in a short Time Period does not assist a Region's Agricultural Needs of Water, the opposite, too much can cause damages.
Irene looks again different on the Shots now than she did late afternoon.
during this afternoon she showed her Eye very clear on the Sat Loops, because she had a clean and flowing Upper Level Outflow on all Sides and increased her Thunderstorm Activity around the Center.
now it is hidden for the Spy Eye from Space, I guess such means She tapped it by heavy Thunderstorm activity around her eyewall again, a sign of Intensification. as she dropped her Central Pressure during this afternoon I would say she grows up, even that it been expected that she would struggle a bit the next 24hrs due the Damage she received on her southern eyewall.
and she has still Her darn signs hanging over Us here on the SE.
and as the big rare thingy for here, this eve we are without Power, I walked the Beach with Baby Sunshine and our Rat Jerry as usual around 8:30PM and BUMMM, all lights in our back went out, just we saw some lightnings in the far Distance Landwards means there been some struck I guess, at least we are without power still now.
wind is here now Dead Calm, absolutely Zero, even just 20 meters away from the Beach I can not hear the Ocean, and that's at my Place rare even during calm Times. just this morning we measured Gusts of 25Knots here at the same Place, just around 14 hrs ago or so.
I can't see what's moving on up in the Skies, at least no stars nor a Moon or such to see, just a Dark Mass.
it's strange. by the Radar all coming in now here is from the ESE, so we are fianlly entering again the Directions which we can watch hours before Stuff arrives, there is still some rain out there, moving slow, so no more windpowers expected for hours, but after many days it looks like we may get clear on the Eastern Shores of DR.
maybe tomorrow morning I will let the Baby Girl play again in the Water by the Beach and have my Coffee there, as She is my Alarm Clock I can't miss the Time on Sunrise, lol.
feels really good to be calm again,
and as lil fishing Town is without Power no Fuc$ing Colmadon or such has any music playing, even the Priest of the freakin' Church 100 Meters down the Parkway has nothing to show, looks like He forgot to charge the Batteries of His Megaphone, so tonight we may not have our usual Discussions about Fallen Angels and Rising Fishermen, we anyways calmed down a lot over the Years, I barely remember the last Time of a Fist Fight or a Gun pulled due His Noise, he knows we are Angels if He let's us to be a bit of Devils once in a while, and He knows I hate NOISE when the Baby goes to Bed, lol.
how is the Weather on the Southeast/Bayahibe??
I know those Guys got by far the Most out of Irene and the Pictures Friends sent me are not something ready for a Touristy AD.
let's forget about Invest90L for now,
the System is really very well organizing, very well, but it goes the wrong Way to get Famous, not on the Highway to Cyclone Glory, a few hours ago it started to show a swift and it looks now even more of that, wanders over all more NW than West, Heading for the Graveyard.
such is not sure as long a Storm isn't Formed, as til then you can never be sure wheer finally the Center will be located and due that where the final heading will point to, but 90L is IMHO out of the Game.
it should be a Tropical Depression during tomorrow on the wrong Path to join the Family.
maybe we will get a sunny weekend to Hit da Beach here?
we'll see, lol
Mike
