Hour by hour, Guadeloupe discover the first damages of Rafael :(. The situation is more worrying than predicted. Hearing the radio, another muslide has occured at Gourbeyre.

Probably 50 kt based on that data, since the SFMR appeared to be slightly rain-contaminated.

Sorry to hear that Gusty.

The Coast Guard have been flying over the island this morning trying to find the 3 still missing from the plane that went down south of the Virgin Islands. One woman was found after hours in the water.

Let's hope this is the end of the season.

So far all is calm here.

Thanks to you Karen. Glad to see that the new is good. Yeah let's hope for that but we're maybe far away from that at the moment. Given the authorities Guadeloupe should stay under a red code till the end of the morning 1AM. After that, we will see if they back off to orange code or even lower. Anyway, another round of showers is expected today and maybe tommorow. Stay tuned. I will keep your informed if i've more infos. Looks like 2 people are missing in Guadeloupe.

I am sorry to hear that. We will hope for the best.

We still have nothing but the PR news still says we will get 3-5 inches and the VI up to 10.

For those interested our weatherhawk system can be found online at http://www.playacofi.net/weather

Mind you we are on the north coast, just 60 feet above sea level so if we do get something it will not represent our ridge.

Hi Gusty
we're ok here. I posted in the observations thread.
so sorry to hear about the problems in Guadeloupe
we have had a lot of rain and high wind but I haven;t heard of any serous dmage luckily.
we're just a little waterlogged.

latest Met Office warning says "the country is under a Flash Flood Watch due to possible thunderstorms that can still be expected from the tail section of the system. The tropical storm warning has been discontinued.
Strong gusts of winds to near gale force can still be expected according to the Meteorological Department of Curacao (MDC).

Seas are moderate to rough at six to 10 feet; light to moderate periods of rainfall are still expected with a couple thunderstorms is still possible accumulating in amounts of one to three inches, therefore street flooding in low lying areas is still possible due to saturated grounds."

looks like the eye has disappeared and the mid-level rotation separated a bit--are we seeing the season's usual 60-65mph decoupling now?

It may not have been a true eye...and I don't think we are seeing decoupling here.
