Just browsed his Twitter and the only mention of this was 17 hours back. The rest of his recent timeline appears to be him shouting about his exciting trip to the UN.
No mention of the destruction in Mexico City either.

US has still been giving foreign aide even through this administration so whether or not they know PR is a US territory shouldn't matter too much....They'll still get aide from the govt.

Ah, my bad!
But yes, I'd hope that PR gets all the help needed here.
Stay safe all.

I know it must be stressing. I haven't heard from anyone either. However, I believe reporters have swept the main parts of the island and Catano was the most affected destroying over 80 percent of the area. I haven't seen any reports come from Ponce which hopefully means it is okay.
If it's anything like Isabella trying to make a phone call is impossible, but texts are more likely to be received.
I had a good time in Ponce and La Guancha. Hope to go back soon.

MY God. That is Alarming. I know water is all over the island at this moment. I just haven't heard of any major catastrophes come from the area. (besides being a river at the moment)

Appears to be restrengthening.. Pretty cold cloud tops coming from the SE quadrant of the swirl.

I guess my honeymoon at the last week of October in Fajardo is nullified.
Got a link or the most recent path?
Im super interested in Miami but I also want to see how this goes over the Dominican Republic, I have a ton of family there and I was born there actually.

Any word on Comerio? My mom is telling me her home town was destroyed.
I also have a uncle who lives in Camino Real in Guaynabo

The damage is too extreme probably. Not much of a vacation to be had probably.

A lot of parts of Guaynabo were flooded. Here is a pic taken earlier today of one area of Guaynabo. Primerahora.com and Endi.com has a lot of images of the damage.
Below is a picture from behind my dads building in a parking lot.. That van was parked about 100 feet were it lays now..

Still no word on my family in Sabana Grande. I saw my mom this afternoon and all she could do was hug me and cry for 30min. Her sisters are all there. My cousins. Their kids. My dads side of his family. Its so hard to watch this unfold on what I see as the most beautiful place Ive called home.

Its looking more and more like Maria is going to be pushed away, but the models are also juggling two storms at once and who knows. But their is a dip in the Jet coming, and it should push the storms away.
Can't believe we only JUST entered the peak of the season.

East Atlantic should be winding down soon and we need to get ready for the GOM portion of the season..

GOM?
For me this stuff doesn't stop until like april because we're about to enter winter/noreaster season.
The part of the season that Florida needs to be really scared of.

GOM = Gulf of Mexico.

Emergency Generators..
Luis Munoz Marin Airport plans to open up to commercial flights tomorrow relying on Emergency Generator power.
Is it just me, or is it getting stronger?

I did not know we had a GOM part of hurricane season. Learn something new here everyday
next update soon?
next update soon?
I know pretty much every model has Maria moving up the coast and possibly making landfall in the Carolinas, but as a Floridian I'm not keeping an eye off of this thing until I see that turn to the NNW or N and it's still moving NW right now. Obviously I don't want it to hit the mainland US at all, but I'm just concerned that this thing isn't turning yet.
Ummm, pretty much no model is showing landfall in the Carolinas (or anywhere for that matter). Of course, subject to change depending on Jose and the resulting pressure system, but any landfall is more likely to be well north of the Carolinas at this point.
11am NHC update did jog it a bit west at the end of the forecast though:
Sorry, I worded that poorly. Every model has it moving up the coast, but there are a few models (maybe 4 or 5 out of however many there are, and of course there are a lot of them) in the Euro ensemble that have it impacting the Carolinas (well, I guess more North Carolina into Virginia) and quite a few of them have it coming close:

There are pictures of Comerio in PR Informa on facebook.
I know it's an irrational fear, but I'll feel better once I see that turn.

Fuck!
I was afraid of this. My wife's family is from Comerio and this is the first update I've seen online. I'm shaking right now... I honestly don't think I'll show my wife yet.
I'm from the North part of the island and every update I've gotten, is destruction everywhere. 10 confirmed deaths so far.

I wouldn't go too heavily on Spaghetti models because they're showing you everything. What I've been trying to do is just note how much variance there are in the runs by GFS/Euro. Euro has been fairly consistent in the last three storms.

Its possible, I flew out of a JFK in NY during that massive east coast blackout. They did everything by hand it was impressive. Probably have generators for the tower and stuff like that.
Had a fun day on the beach this morning in borderline tropical storm force winds. Was able to really lean over into them. Some great waves, too.
This thing is really sticking around, first squalls we got were yesterday at around 2pm. What a slow moving storm. Where I am will take no damage or flooding at all from this one - for all intents and purposes it has simply missed us - but the problem is all the time people spent preparing for this one has delayed the Irma cleanup which is still ongoing. So many people still without roofs and water from that one.
