Its not hitting FL right ?
Still too early to tell.
By Friday/Saturday, we should know where Maria is heading and the possibility of a US landfall.
Its not hitting FL right ?
My thoughts go out to everyone in PR. I feel selfish for bringing this up but my honeymoon is at the end of October-first week in November at El Conquistador resort in Fajardo. Should I be looking into alternatives?

I'm afraid for the people in the path of this, but I can't help being in awe at the raw power of nature that's on display.
Girlfriend has some family on PR. A real nail biter here.
168 knot (193 mph) winds found from dropsonde....... waiting to see if it's confirmed

Maria would be the strongest hurricane EVER in terms of wind speed if confirmed.

Close, but Hurricane Patricia's 1-minute sustained 215 mph winds is still tops.
Here just waiting for the island to be totally fuck up in the next 36 hours. This will be a doozy.
Recon just found 905mb pressure......
I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that our infrastructure is going to be fucked beyond relief and am at the point where I'm honestly pretty scared for my life.
175 mph and still climbing... Will concrete even hold up to this shit? Full-blown anxiety attack over here...
NHC went with no change for the 8pm update.
No change or just didn't update?

It's a change from the 5pm update. Still rapidly intensifying
They kept the same pressure/winds from the special 7 update.No change or just didn't update?
I know all thoughts are rightly with Puerto Rico right now - good luck guys - but on a personal level the strength of the storm has me just a bit nervous now. I've been so sure it would miss us that I haven't prepared at all - totally unlike with Irma where I spent three days getting ready.
Looking at the 8pm update:
...it's crazy how reliant we are on that final turn north on Thursday we are. According to this it's going to come right at my location (second blue dot) until just about 12 to 16 hours before it's due to pass, and then veer sharply north. When it was a Cat 3, that was whatever. The weak side of a smallish Cat 3 passing 100 miles away... pssh. No worries.
But when it's one of the most intense storms on record.... they had better be right about this. I think I'll get someone to help board me up again tomorrow just in case. Luckily I kept my boards and sandbags so there's much less to do this time around.
I'm in St. Croix and we are getting battered right now. The worst is yet to come but I'm shocked At&t has kept it's network up. Kudos to them, I'm glad to give them my business. Kinda scary right now with all the noise.

It's make me feel so powerless and I'm not even there. Nothing to do but hope these people have it right and it will turn.
Someday hopefully we learn how to lessen the damage these things can cause. Whether it's pointing them in a harmless direction or force fields or something!
Seems like stopping them completely could have environmental consequences.
Maria's eye looks unnervingly similar to Andrew's eye. Perfect.
That 193mph gusts: absolutely insane. I hope it doesn't confirm.
Not to freak any of my fellow floridians out but.....
A look into the future.
12z GFS run has this at 312hrs.(Next Thursday)
