Looks almost like a direct hit to me. Stay safe.

Below is an update on the storm force winds projections -

While the forecast puts the "center" of the storm just South of St Kitts as of Noon on Monday (roughly 70 miles from SBH), given the size of these storms, you might as well call it a direct hit on SBH.

The outer bands are already bringing rain to the island, with 4 to 8 inches of rain forecast.

Perhaps, but it will keep the children home today. Pas d'école aujourd'hui.

On the webcam on the Pelican side of St Jean, the seaweed is dissipating rapidly

Does that guy in the red car have his windows down?

I hope that what we see there is a reflection of some sort, and that the window is up. In any case, the car is gone now, replaced by a small grey 2-door SUV.

For those who may not have them, here are the URLs for the two inner harbor webcams:

Airport & schools are closed. A local resident says he never has seen the seas as rough as this morning.

I'm not at my villa now, but it's too high up for the sargassum to reach.

I'm not at my villas either, but all of them are too high as well.

Seaweed blown away does not mean it has GONE AWAY.
