It is absolutely lashing it down.
Managed to venture to the Oasis to stock up on tea and biscuits.
I was the only car on the road.

Of course you would need those to weather the storm :-) Should have stopped to see what RVBama needed as you passed by Les Jardins d'Emmanuel!

New Guests (scheduled on today's last Winair flt) apparently taking Rapid Explorer instead w/ airport closed. Phoned me from SM, their cell sounded like next door.
Even if they're a little soggy...Andy's pizza this evening will still taste great.
Manager's pic today @ 2pm----flat ocean/lots of rain...greenest those hillsides have been in a while.

Forecasters were calling for PR and the USVI to get 4" (100mm) to 8" (200mm) of rain between today and tomorrow. The low pressure area could be classified as a Tropical Depression at any time.

I got caught under one of those in November 2003 and we had 240mm in 7 days, over 9 inches.

we left Florida this morning in a heavy downpour. Our weather had been hot,but quite clear and we had good pool time the whole trip. The beach never came back and last night huge 6 to 10 foot waves-so I figured today was going to be the wash out it was when we departed. So good to be home-sunshine here on Long Island and about 76 degrees. Now back to my chores. Amy

Winair decided to fly a late day (no bags) trip over through the rain with a full aircraft of happy/wet passengers.

"late day (no bags) trip over through the rain with a full aircraft"...Yikes, I'm fearless and that scares me.

Glad all made it in. MikeR might give me crap on this. But, carry on - at least a few day's clothes is the best insurance. Life is good. A couple late bags can't possibly take away from being there. Unless packing special gear and tracking it. Voila! Comfortable clothes, easy times. It's easy. Otherwise ya missed the point. IMHO

There's a lot more blue sky on the airport webcam today, and the satellite photos look much better for SBH. The bulk of the storm is to the west, with Puerto Rico reporting 10" of rain in some areas.
Monday should be a better day in SBH than Sunday was. Juliana Airport (SXM) is reporting winds out of the ENE at 3kts, visibility of 6+ miles, a few clouds at 1600ft, and showers in the vicintity.
