Glad to hear you will remain high and dry, Luis! PR is in for some major runoff!
It's cold here, and I've had to put on a long-sleeve shirt - in September - fancy that! Has been only light rain for several hours. No thunder heard today (but during the downpours on the metal roof, it would have to be loud to be heard). I went and gassed up the car, bought a few groceries during the "lull" this morning (our home church was cancelled) so have no reason to go out tonight. Not a risk of floodwaters here, but just a bit of gusty wind to the loose rock/mud towering over some of the roads, could be hazardous to car and driver!
Don't know if you'll escape tstorms, Luis. I see some on radar coming to you. Stay safe, you and all our friends in PR, including MJ and Kate in C & V!

Re: Obs,Local Statememts - Puerto Rico / USVI / BVI / N.Leewards
A torrential thunderstorm here with winds that I clocked at 31 mph in gust.I dont know if I will have power for too long,so I you dont see me,you know why.

After three, four hours of steady rain with some wind gusts, it's quiet now, here in the mountains in Eastern PR. I lost my (cellular network) internet during the rain but it's back.
Amazingly we still have power - hopefully it will stay on because no way to start the generator at night (way too loud - neighbors would kill me

NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE
FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE
ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN
AROUND...DONT DROWN.
DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.
A FLASH FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR OCCURRING.
IF YOU ARE IN THE WARNING AREA MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND IMMEDIATELY.
RESIDENTS LIVING ALONG STREAMS AND CREEKS SHOULD TAKE IMMEDIATE
PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CROSS
SWIFTLY FLOWING WATERS OR WATERS OF UNKNOWN DEPTH BY FOOT OR BY
AUTOMOBILE.

Good morning Luis & MJ and other neighbors. I'm so sorry to hear about the deaths. 
It is only drizzling here, still overcast.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
611 AM AST MON SEP 22 2008
.SYNOPSIS...AT UPPER LEVELS...WEAK LOW PRESSURE AND LIGHT WINDS WILL SLOWLY GIVE WAY TO A RIDGE BUILDING FROM THE SOUTHEAST THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE LOCAL AREA WILL BE REPLACED BY A VIGOROUS LOW ALSO FROM THE SOUTHEAST BY THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. AT MID LEVELS...A WEAK LOW PRESSURE OVER PUERTO RICO WILL DRIFT NEARLY NORTH ALONG 70 WEST WHILE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTHEAST. A WEAK INVERTED TROUGH WILL MOVE FROM THE EAST OVER THE LOCAL AREA OVER THE WEEKEND AND HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTHWARD INTO THE ADJACENT ATLANTIC. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN DOMINATE THE WESTERN ATLANTIC TO THE COAST OF AFRICA NEXT WEEK. EXTENSIVE MOISTURE AT MID LEVELS WILL LEAVE THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY FOLLOWING THE LOW PRESSURE.
AT LOWER LEVELS...LOW PRESSURE EMBEDDED IN A TROPICAL WAVE IS BRINGING VAST QUANTITIES OF MOISTURE TO THE LOCAL AREA... PRINCIPALLY ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE TROPICAL WAVE AXIS WHICH STRETCHES NORTHEAST-SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE MONA PASSAGE. THIS LOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP SLOWLY AND MOVE NORTH NORTHWEST AT FIRST AND THEN NORTH ALONG THE 70TH MERIDIAN THROUGH SATURDAY. MOIST SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL CONTINUE AT LOWER LEVELS UNTIL THURSDAY. AT WHICH TIME A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH WILL CAUSE FLOW TO BECOME MORE EAST NORTHEAST UNTIL NEXT WEEK.
&&
.DISCUSSION...MOISTURE CONTINUES TO STREAM NORTH OVER PUERTO RICO...VIEQUES AND CULEBRA. THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS REMAIN ON THE FRINGE AS THE BAND OF MOISTURE MOVES VERY SLOWLY TO THE WEST. ]STORM TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS HAVE EXCEEDED 20 TO 30 INCHES IN PARTS OF SOUTHEAST PUERTO RICO WHERE RIVERS ARE WELL ABOVE FLOOD STAGE. BANDS OF THUNDERSTORMS WERE NOTED OVER AND WEST OF SOUTHERN YAUCO TO CABO ROJO WITH TOPS IN EXCESS OF 50 THOUSAND FEET. TOPS IN EXCESS OF 60 TO 70 THOUSAND FEET WERE NOTED SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. THESE AREAS ARE MOVING VERY LITTLE. AS SOLAR HEATING INCREASES EXPECT MORE CONVECTION TO SPREAD ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA...MAINLY WEST OF THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS. HEAVIER RAINS ARE ALSO LIKELY TO BE EXPERIENCED IN THE NORTHWEST WHERE LITTLE PRECIPITATION HAS FALLEN AS OF NOW...AND IN THE AREAS NORTH OF THE CORDILLERA CENTRAL. BECAUSE THIS SYSTEM IS MOVING SO SLOWLY THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING IS VERY HIGH AND THAT FLOODING WILL BE...AND INDEED ALREADY IS...MORE SERIOUS THAN ANY THAT HAS OCCURRED IN RECENT MEMORY. FOR THE EARLY PART OF THE MORNING HOWEVER...EXPECT THE WORST FLOODING TO BE IN SOUTHWEST PUERTO RICO... ALTHOUGH FLOOD WATERS FROM PREVIOUS RAINS IN SOUTHEAST PUERTO RICO WILL ALSO BE SEVERE.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH SLOWLY TONIGHT AND TOMORROW...BUT WILL BE SCATTERED THROUGH THE AREA AT LEAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY. 10 TO 20 INCHES ARE EXPECTED IN PARTS OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN SECTIONS OF PUERTO RICO TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT. EXPECT THAT THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE DROPPED LATER THIS MORNING FOR THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AS THE FOCUS OF CONVECTION SHIFTS WESTWARD.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE MODERATE TODAY...DESPITE SOUTH FLOW DUE TO RAIN AND CLOUDS. HAVE LOWERED MAX TEMPS SEVERAL DEGREES. YESTERDAY'S HIGH IN SAN JUAN WAS ONLY 81...BUT BREAKS MAY ALLOW WARMER TEMPERATURES TODAY.
&&
.AVIATION...CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS WILL COVER THE LOCAL FLYING AREA TODAY AS AN ELONGATED AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG TROPICAL WAVE CONTINUES TO AFFECT THE LOCAL REGION AT LEAST THROUGH TONIGHT. THE MAIN AXIS OF ACTIVITY EXTENDED NORTHWARD FROM THE SOUTHERN CARIBBEAN ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHWESTERN AND SOUTH CENTRAL PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS THIS MORNING. EXPECT MAINLY MVFR CONDITIONS ACROSS MOST TAF SITES DURING THE MORNING HOURS WITH EXTENSIVE MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS. TJPS MAY EXPERIENCE BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR CONDITIONS IN HEAVY SHOWERS AND STRONG THUNDERSTORMS FROM 10-14Z. TJBQ WILL EXPERIENCE MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS FROM 10-16Z...WITH BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR CONDITIONS AFTER 16Z. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREDOMINATE IN THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AND EASTERN LEEWARDS. WOULD EXPECT HEAVY ICING ABOVE THE FREEZING LEVEL AT 15 THOUSAND FEET.
&&
.MARINE...BANDS OF THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE CARIBBEAN AND INTO PUERTO RICO. SOME OF THESE MAY CONTAIN WATERSPOUTS. SEVERAL TVS SIGNATURES WERE SEEN EARLIER THIS MORNING ON NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR AND SOME TRANSIENT MESO CYCLONES ALSO APPEAR. SEAS...FROM BUOY OBSERVATIONS...HAVE NOT RISEN AS MUCH AS EXPECTED BECAUSE THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN VERY SLOW TO DEVELOP. THEREFORE THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY HAS BEEN DROPPED AND THE WAVE HEIGHT FORECAST HAS BEEN LOWERED. NEVERTHELESS WAVES AT BUOY 41043 NORTH OF SAINT THOMAS HAVE BEEN APPROACHING 7 FEET EVEN THOUGH WINDS REMAIN BELOW 20 KNOTS FOR THE TIME BEING. WINDS ELSEWHERE IN THE AREA...EXCEPT IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS...HAVE BEEN LESS THAN THIS. MARINERS SHOULD BE VIGILANT...ESPECIALLY IN THE ATLANTIC WATERS...FOR THE POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM AND BE READY TO SEEK SAFE HARBOR. GUSTY WINDS WILL BE ENCOUNTERED NEAR THUNDERSTORMS AND GUSTS COULD EXCEED 35 KNOTS IN VERY LOCAL AREAS.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...AT 6 AM AST SOME RIVERS ACROSS SOUTHEAST AND SOUTHERN PUERTO RICO WERE AS MUCH AS 14 FEET ABOVE FLOOD LEVEL...ALTHOUGH SOME OF THESE ARE GOING DOWN. SOME HOWEVER ARE STILL RISING... ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHWEST WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAINS WERE OCCURRING AT THE MOMENT. ALL OF PUERTO RICO IS STILL SUBJECT TO FLASH FLOODING...AND FLOODING WILL LIKELY OCCUR IN AREAS WHERE NONE HAS OCCURRED SO FAR...NAMELY THE NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST SECTIONS OF PUERTO RICO LATER THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON.
CURRENTLY RIO PORTUGUES...RIO GUAYANILLA... RIO GUANAJIBO...RIO GRANDE DE ARECIBO...RIO CERRILLOS...RIO INABON... RIO GURABO... RIO MARIN...RIO MAUNABO...RIO GUAYANES AND RIO GRANDE DE LOIZA ARE ALL IN FLOOD AT SOME POINT. AS RAINS CONTINUE TO SPREAD NORTH...FEW OF THESE RIVERS WILL RETURN BELOW FLOOD STAGE SOON.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
611 AM AST MON SEP 22 2008
.SYNOPSIS...AT UPPER LEVELS...WEAK LOW PRESSURE AND LIGHT WINDS WILL SLOWLY GIVE WAY TO A RIDGE BUILDING FROM THE SOUTHEAST THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE LOCAL AREA WILL BE REPLACED BY A VIGOROUS LOW ALSO FROM THE SOUTHEAST BY THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. AT MID LEVELS...A WEAK LOW PRESSURE OVER PUERTO RICO WILL DRIFT NEARLY NORTH ALONG 70 WEST WHILE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTHEAST. A WEAK INVERTED TROUGH WILL MOVE FROM THE EAST OVER THE LOCAL AREA OVER THE WEEKEND AND HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTHWARD INTO THE ADJACENT ATLANTIC. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN DOMINATE THE WESTERN ATLANTIC TO THE COAST OF AFRICA NEXT WEEK. EXTENSIVE MOISTURE AT MID LEVELS WILL LEAVE THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY FOLLOWING THE LOW PRESSURE.
AT LOWER LEVELS...LOW PRESSURE EMBEDDED IN A TROPICAL WAVE IS BRINGING VAST QUANTITIES OF MOISTURE TO THE LOCAL AREA... PRINCIPALLY ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE TROPICAL WAVE AXIS WHICH STRETCHES NORTHEAST-SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE MONA PASSAGE. THIS LOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP SLOWLY AND MOVE NORTH NORTHWEST AT FIRST AND THEN NORTH ALONG THE 70TH MERIDIAN THROUGH SATURDAY. MOIST SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL CONTINUE AT LOWER LEVELS UNTIL THURSDAY. AT WHICH TIME A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH WILL CAUSE FLOW TO BECOME MORE EAST NORTHEAST UNTIL NEXT WEEK.
&&
.DISCUSSION...MOISTURE CONTINUES TO STREAM NORTH OVER PUERTO RICO...VIEQUES AND CULEBRA. THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS REMAIN ON THE FRINGE AS THE BAND OF MOISTURE MOVES VERY SLOWLY TO THE WEST. ]STORM TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS HAVE EXCEEDED 20 TO 30 INCHES IN PARTS OF SOUTHEAST PUERTO RICO WHERE RIVERS ARE WELL ABOVE FLOOD STAGE. BANDS OF THUNDERSTORMS WERE NOTED OVER AND WEST OF SOUTHERN YAUCO TO CABO ROJO WITH TOPS IN EXCESS OF 50 THOUSAND FEET. TOPS IN EXCESS OF 60 TO 70 THOUSAND FEET WERE NOTED SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. THESE AREAS ARE MOVING VERY LITTLE. AS SOLAR HEATING INCREASES EXPECT MORE CONVECTION TO SPREAD ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA...MAINLY WEST OF THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS. HEAVIER RAINS ARE ALSO LIKELY TO BE EXPERIENCED IN THE NORTHWEST WHERE LITTLE PRECIPITATION HAS FALLEN AS OF NOW...AND IN THE AREAS NORTH OF THE CORDILLERA CENTRAL. BECAUSE THIS SYSTEM IS MOVING SO SLOWLY THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING IS VERY HIGH AND THAT FLOODING WILL BE...AND INDEED ALREADY IS...MORE SERIOUS THAN ANY THAT HAS OCCURRED IN RECENT MEMORY. FOR THE EARLY PART OF THE MORNING HOWEVER...EXPECT THE WORST FLOODING TO BE IN SOUTHWEST PUERTO RICO... ALTHOUGH FLOOD WATERS FROM PREVIOUS RAINS IN SOUTHEAST PUERTO RICO WILL ALSO BE SEVERE.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH SLOWLY TONIGHT AND TOMORROW...BUT WILL BE SCATTERED THROUGH THE AREA AT LEAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY. 10 TO 20 INCHES ARE EXPECTED IN PARTS OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN SECTIONS OF PUERTO RICO TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT. EXPECT THAT THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE DROPPED LATER THIS MORNING FOR THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AS THE FOCUS OF CONVECTION SHIFTS WESTWARD.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE MODERATE TODAY...DESPITE SOUTH FLOW DUE TO RAIN AND CLOUDS. HAVE LOWERED MAX TEMPS SEVERAL DEGREES. YESTERDAY'S HIGH IN SAN JUAN WAS ONLY 81...BUT BREAKS MAY ALLOW WARMER TEMPERATURES TODAY.
&&
.AVIATION...CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS WILL COVER THE LOCAL FLYING AREA TODAY AS AN ELONGATED AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG TROPICAL WAVE CONTINUES TO AFFECT THE LOCAL REGION AT LEAST THROUGH TONIGHT. THE MAIN AXIS OF ACTIVITY EXTENDED NORTHWARD FROM THE SOUTHERN CARIBBEAN ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHWESTERN AND SOUTH CENTRAL PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS THIS MORNING. EXPECT MAINLY MVFR CONDITIONS ACROSS MOST TAF SITES DURING THE MORNING HOURS WITH EXTENSIVE MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS. TJPS MAY EXPERIENCE BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR CONDITIONS IN HEAVY SHOWERS AND STRONG THUNDERSTORMS FROM 10-14Z. TJBQ WILL EXPERIENCE MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS FROM 10-16Z...WITH BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR CONDITIONS AFTER 16Z. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREDOMINATE IN THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AND EASTERN LEEWARDS. WOULD EXPECT HEAVY ICING ABOVE THE FREEZING LEVEL AT 15 THOUSAND FEET.
&&
.MARINE...BANDS OF THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE CARIBBEAN AND INTO PUERTO RICO. SOME OF THESE MAY CONTAIN WATERSPOUTS. SEVERAL TVS SIGNATURES WERE SEEN EARLIER THIS MORNING ON NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR AND SOME TRANSIENT MESO CYCLONES ALSO APPEAR. SEAS...FROM BUOY OBSERVATIONS...HAVE NOT RISEN AS MUCH AS EXPECTED BECAUSE THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN VERY SLOW TO DEVELOP. THEREFORE THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY HAS BEEN DROPPED AND THE WAVE HEIGHT FORECAST HAS BEEN LOWERED. NEVERTHELESS WAVES AT BUOY 41043 NORTH OF SAINT THOMAS HAVE BEEN APPROACHING 7 FEET EVEN THOUGH WINDS REMAIN BELOW 20 KNOTS FOR THE TIME BEING. WINDS ELSEWHERE IN THE AREA...EXCEPT IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS...HAVE BEEN LESS THAN THIS.

My dad lives in Coqui, he said that last night he looked outside his front door and the road in front of his house looked like a river. Water was flowing past his house. He did get a little water in the house. His neighbor came over to help him with push brooms to get the water out of the house. He said it is muddy in his house, but he knows he will probably get more today, so he is just watching and waiting. He is funny though, he said it reminded him of when he was a kid growing up in Salinas and they used to get rain like that and he would play in it. He said he was laughing. 
I was like geez Dad just be careful, he said he would be fine not to worry. He is 73 yrs old, of course I am going to worry.

Sun. we received, 3.82"
Today so far, 1.57"
Total for Invest93, 5.90"
Total for the month of Sept. 13.58"
