Levi's video update this evening:
[video=youtube_share;CvpRaeDMCxQ]https://youtu.be/CvpRaeDMCxQ[/video]
CDN_Gringo, you will see the small offshoot in the early part of the video if you look carefully that crosses Sosua/NC and gave us that brief spell of higher winds shown in the helipad wind record.
This is not unusual

Just had a Cabrera call asking What F*** is going on--- I could hear the wind LOUD
I read ju10's post and studied Levi....just a passing band
Informed my people ... and heard no wind - was gone-
Trouble might start there at 12-1-2 but for a while HUH?... long duration, creo yo

Here is Sosoua, everything is actually very calm now. A little bit of rain earlier, but nothing now. No real wind either. The palms and other foliage are perfectly still ahora.
Can't give enough kudos to Mr. Fisher. Not just now, but over quite a bit of time his forecasts and common sense advice has been mucho mas mejor than any other source. But now, I hope you get some well deserved uninterrupted rest mi amigo. We took a ride around town earlier. Almost everything in "el centro" (Pedro Clisante strip) had closed. Some businesses also had plywood on the windows, and sandbags on the sidewalk. (Probably a leftover "battle drill" from Irma). Good precautions though.
Heading down Alejo Martinez towards the (closed) casino, we were surprised to see the lights of Dulce Secreto still illuminated (if anything is gonna stay open, it's a cabana, right?). So with no spoken words, (just a few discrete smiles) we pulled in and found the place completely full (no surprise) except for #10, "El Presidente". Bingo!
Almost as soon as we entered the room, the phone rang asking what we would like to,drink. The bottle of Brugal, refresco, limon, and heilo arrived while we were filling up the jacuzzi.
But just as we were settling in to the very warm water (with dos Cuba libres in hand), the phone rang again.
"Lo Siento, pero cerrado en quince minutos porque un cyclone." (Sorry, but we are closing in 15 minutes because of the hurricaine).
Talk about deflating my weather balloon!
That was a true , real time story. Now back to our regularly scheduled weather reports. (Again, much appreciated!).

In the Veron area (Punta Cana) several light posts are down and over 50% of the area is without electricity. Many trees down, tin roofs affected and over 200 people in shelters. Going to be a lot of cleaning up to do tomorrow. Guess I'll be in the dark for a few days

Thanks to all....For those of us who have homes and family in the DR and can not be there you have no idea how much these updates are appreciated. Weather Channel my *ss, I have DR1. Again thank you to everyone, especially Mike. Be safe everyone...
Winds and rain has been getting worse here in Gaspar Hernández. The power has been out 3 times so far, back on, boarded up and hoping for the best!! ????????????????????????????????????????????????
You should be fine. We had it go by too close for comfort but boarded up all I got was a bit of water filtering in. Some gusts have been impressive but nothing really alarming. Going to wait 1 more hour then I'll try to get some sleep somehow.

Some friends of mine in the Bavaro area are reporting strong winds and some roof destruction on medium well built houses.....I think the eye is passing there much closer as expected and on windy.com it looks like the eye will pass over Las Galeras in the morning.....I dont want to scare anyone but that was the windy.com projected path not sure which model they use. Satellite pic shows eye pretty close to Bavaro right now..maybe 20 or 40 miles my guess..Here in POP we are getting some feeder band gusts with rain but maybe 30mph not sure its hard to tell with surroundings here. They last about 5 mins and then it goes relatively calm again. It should miss the POP area by about 100 miles...Is it going more west than north or is this my imagination?
That windy.com projection I saw was probably older projected path......hope the satellite pic I saw was just a wobble by the storm and it misses Samana as officially projected.

all the websites have it slowing and moving NW....the graphic does look as though it was almost westwards.......i guess we will see what they have for us at 2am.....
was just looking at the nhc sat. loop.. it looks like the SW edge of the eye just grazes the coast.... much closer than predicted
