Hello all

Greetings from Cycloman PR!

Here to tell everyone that we are fine and everything is OK! We had a hard time here dealing with Jeanne but we'd handle it very well. I measured 60mph gusts with my pocket wind meeter before I went inside home due to the danger outside and later the wind increased ferously when the most intense wall of Jeanne reached us. I estimated about 70 to 75mph wind gusts after I went inside. We had almost 20minutes of relative calm when the north part of the center of Jeanne reached our area. I have water, electricity and internet already, the services went back on yesterday.. Also want to tell you that our good friend Cyconeye is alright and he also has water and electricity but he does'nt has internet yet, so he won't be able to comunicate with you for a while, although he's anxious to be here. Last but not least, TD#13 just formed in the back of Karl and buletins will be starting at 5pm.

Interesting that our experience with Jeanne was more one of a Cat 1 hurricane hit than a tropcial storm, when you see our kind of dammage and the way that some lives were taken. A couple were trown away 180meters in the air when their roof was broken by a hurricane force gust and one of them who survived a 50+years old man hitted a near by road and the other a woman died when she was trown to a roof of a concrete house. The 60mph wind gust that I measured in my wind meter before the intense wall of wind came tru and the report of a friend of mine that has a weather station that is certified from the National Weather Service of SJ, and is located in a mountain near my house at Gurabo PR. He reported wind gust of 94mph in his weather station at his home in a mountine about 400meters above the sea level. Looking at all the damage of the trees arround my area and in the streets, roof of the houses, broken signs of the streets, damages to our power lines, and all our agriculture that lost millions of dollars, I can tell that those damages don't look like a tropical storm damage but a Cat 1 hurricane. The irony is that our people that work in the agriculture are having problems with the insurrance companies because their policis only cover hurricane damages and not tropical storms damages so they don't want to pay because of that technisism.
