Stay safe all.

First rain bands beginning to arrive here in Antigua...

[Recurve]

With the forecast for Earl to strengthen to a major and pass just north of Puerto Rico, we're all very concerned of course for everyone in the islands. Please be careful, I know everyone knows to take the storm seriously. If storm2k friends can do anything let us know. We're all hoping for the best. Thanks for posting obs and news here.

Rains here, with thunder louding a and numerous lightnings, oh one just bright my face . Hey look like tstorms are beginning strongs, lightnings try to begin to an unexpected show since 5 minutes. Hope that i won't have too much poweroutages

[fd122]

Lots of heavy rain, wind (maybe gusts to 20kt?...not sure) and thunder/lightning! Power went out around 30m ago. I even saw American Airlines takeoff around an hour ago so I guess the airport is still open here.

Troubles here! Numerous cars are going out of the roads. Report of trees down on roads here, numerous trafficjams and localized floodings already! More after but worrying and panicka situation here.

Gusty. keep posting as long as you can, but above all, be careful
i have a generator so my power will stay up but i don't know how long inherent will stay up once conditions deteriorate here.

I just hear an airplane taking off so I guess the airport is still open
