Re: DR1 Lenny Update -- Mid-day

Lenny has moved further east prior to its expected turn to the northeast. By its position, it is about right under Santo Domingo at the present time. It just started to rain in Santo Domingo at 12:24 pm, Dominican time. At most heavy rains are now expected, with their consequences. A tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch remain in effect for the south coast of the Dominican Republic from Cabo Beata to Cabo Enga?o, according to US weather forecasters, but the updated Intellicast track chart has removed these. See <A HREF="http://www.intellicast.com/Tropical/World/UnitedStates/HurTrack1">http://www.intellicast.com/Tropical/World/UnitedStates/HurTrack1</A>/

To further monitor the hurricane, some other good links with information (news stories) are:

Re: DR1 Lenny Update -- Mid-day

I would really appreciate it if some meteorologically knowlegable person would help us to learn more about what a hurricane is and how it operates. Last year the weather reports were not accurate, but I was able to look at the satellite maps myself to see that Georges wasn't doing what they said it was doing. Everybody here was saying that Georges was barreling through the DR when I could see it was stuck on the mountains. I also watch the satellite picture because you can see how wide it is, which is more accurate than just watching the eye. I use Yahoo's satellite picture.

Re: satellite link
