Live in south jersey (Camden county) and it's been windy pretty much all day. Got some brief showers this morning. There have even been peaks of blue sky off and on. The radar/forecast makes it sound like we aren't gonna be getting much more than clouds and wind.

Im in Burlington County, work in Trenton, and yea, I was hoping for some rain for my lawn...such problems right..

Meanwhile, Maria performed the most evil of 'wobbles', over Dominica, it wobbled north at the exact moment needed to literally hit the entire island with CAT 5 eye wall damage.

It's still early, but I'll be signing off for now; NE Puerto Rico :( We're getting the eye or the harsh winds to the north of the eye.
Internet is already down, I'm on slow ass 2G tethering
Still got some prep to finish; see y'all whenever the power and internet comes back, so like November (hopefully).

Good luck during the storm. Save your 2G data for when you really need it - checking the NHC site rather than being on Neogaf etc.

Hopefully your power is up within a week or two rather than out for a month and a half. A week without power was certainly more than enough for me. Prepare for the worst but be optimistic.

She is borderline sub tropical according to NHC 11 am; warm core keeps her tropical but the overall pattern is shifting quickly to extra tropical with how the circulation is wrapping.
Click to expand...

Yeah. She definitely has some extratropical characteristics right now. It's possible she regains full tropical characteristics if she moves south enough late this week or early next week.

The latest GFS run has Jose strengthening and then doing another loop.

Can someone just kill this fucker?
Click to expand...

The only way jose can restrength now is if it moves through warmer waters or baroclinc forcing helps the storm to stregthen. The former is likely today and possibly on the weekend if it's eventual southward path takes the center of the storm closer to warmer waters.Jose is likely not dying for another week.

Maria's eye is definitely larger in the latest recon.

Will Jose beat some kind of record for longest living storm? Seems like he's been around forever.
Click to expand...

I highly doubt it. It has to live for like another 16 days for it beat the record.It may beat Nadine 2012 if it can stay as a tropical storm until early next week.The current structure of the storm makes it hard for the storm to weaken signficantly.

Latest euro brings Maria much closer to the coast duo to Jose hitting the coast (or what is left of it...)

Also the 18Z models have Maria hitting more into the southern coast of PR.

This thing caught my whole family off guard so we really didn't have much time for prep besides boarding up the windows and getting water. I'm staying in my grandma's house with dad's side of the family in West Bayamon while my mom (who still doesn't have any light) is in a valley on the mountains close to the Bayamon/Guaynabo border.

Looks like the place I live in will definitely feel the full strength of the hurricane. Damn, it's all so surreal, thought we dodged a bullet with Irma but Nature came back for us with a vengeance.

I don't think we have anything indicating Maria has grown large enough to compare, Irma had a long life of eye wall replacements while Maria has gotten super strong overnight it seems
Click to expand...

I've seen a lot of comparisons between Maria and Andrew in how compact they are. Don't think there's been much change on that front.

With a small eye and pressures that low, that windspeed will most likely climb.

My word she really is bombing as far as pressure is concerned. if conditions keep favourable she could beat Irma's pressure. Very dangerous storm. Also she's moving slower than Irma was by about 5 mph so more time over water.

Almost time, hopefully this blows over quickly here in PR. And hopefully we get power back fast, some people saying power will be gone for the rest of the year.....crazy, but i doubt it will be more then a month.

The pressure is now down to 913.

This is scary as hell. The storm is likely going to break into the top 10 most intense storms ever before landfall in PR and there's nothing to weaken it.

Maria is a rediculously well-formed storm in the latest sat images. If it really is sub 920mb, I wouldn't be surprised if the next flight reads 180+mph sustained winds. Puerto Rico needs a miracle turn any time now..

Puerto Rico is going to need a lot of money to rebuild, and they are already billions of dollars in debt and in a financial crisis. Hopefully the US and the rest of the world send relief, and lots of it.

I heard it moved west a bit and now isn't expected to have a direct hit on St. Croix, where I live. Is that true?
Click to expand...
I don't know how you're living in St. Croix and not following this storm like a hawk, lol. But yes it did take a westerly jog, so you'll avoid the direct hit but will still get scraped by the "dirty" side of the storm.

I am. We lost power already and we have the radio on but you guys seem to have good info early so that's why I'm asking. I typically look at the NOAA update but I'm not as versed in pressure and the NOAA map is very general and some times just skips over us in favor of PR.

Stay safe. Even if the eye doesn't go over the island it looks like you will see the northern eyewall with the top winds

Will stay in my mother in law's house in SJ. We're pretty safe here, all things considered.
Thanfully, we have a big generator and fuel for at least a week, enough water, food, etc.

Anyway, stay safe PRGAF.
