This hurricane season, so far. Best of luck to everyone. I need a fucking generator.
basically, necessities. I would argue that a generator is a necessity when its balls hot outside and you don't have a/c but I guess the government sees it differently
Many Puerto Rican's do not have A/C in their houses in the first place. Most of my family is from Aguada and Aguadilla area, and none have A/C in their homes
How do y'all live? Is it humid there? If it's anything like the South A/C should be a necessity.
However, all indications are that the shear should diminish
during the next 24-48 h, which should allow steady to rapid
strengthening. The Rapid Intensification Index of the SHIPS model
forecast better than a 50 percent chance of 25-30 kt of
strengthening during the next 24 h, and about a 35 percent chance
of 55 kt of strengthening during the next 48 h. Based on this, the
intensity forecast has been increased to show Maria becoming a
major hurricane in 24 h and a category 4 hurricane in 48 h.

Jesus, and I'm going to a tournament this weekend in Orlando... I hope I get back before this thing bothers Florida.
Thank you, I hope so. We've been through enough. Best of luck to PR though.Florida should be safe from this one. Its going to turn NNW before it gets near Florida. The Carolina's need to keep an eye on it though
Jesus, and I'm going to a tournament this weekend in Orlando... I hope I get back before this thing bothers Florida.
Me and you both, I live in Broward.I hope this thing misses FL all together.
Is PR really as humid as South Florida (which is pretty much a swamp)? That doesn't seem right... My parents grew up in South Florida without a/c. Wasn't that common back in the 60s guess. They said they had fans and the pool to cool down.
Yikes at those wind speeds...
I've noticed that it's shifted north with every forecast. 5:00PM had it exiting the island somewhere between Añasco and Aguada. 8:00PM had it between Aguada and Aguadilla, where I live. Latest forecast has it exiting through Isabela, almost Quebradillas. This seems like a big shift, maybe?
I live in Aguadilla and everyone around me has AC. Hell, I cannot live without AC. Don't know how people stand the humidity and heat. Fun fact.. If track does verify it will exit over us or really close to me.Many Puerto Rican's do not have A/C in their houses in the first place. Most of my family is from Aguada and Aguadilla area, and none have A/C in their homes
Go up motherfucker, uppppp!!
wtfSo it looks like Jose is going to do another loop..
Jose knows he can never top his big sister, so he just wants to go down as the longest lasting storm ever.
He'll be still doing loops in October.
You live in Aguadilla also? Nice, where exactly? I live in Guerrero.I live in Aguadilla and everyone around me has AC. Hell, I cannot live without AC. Don't know how people stand the humidity and heat. Fun fact.. If track does verify it will exit over us or really close to me.

now you have me curious... what is the longest lasting storm ever and how close is jose to it?
a quick search seems it might be ginger which lasted 28 days.
how many days is jose at, at least 15 if I recall right.
Oh nice. I live near the 110, really close to San Antonio.You live in Aguadilla also? Nice, where exactly? I live in Guerrero.
Florida should be safe from this one. Its going to turn NNW before it gets near Florida. The Carolina's need to keep an eye on it though
I'm freaking the hell out...I'm worried about my tenants in PR, as well as the potentially severe property damage this damn storm will cause, (especially the one in Arecibo)...and the long-term severe damage to the infrastructure and utilities there. I can't afford extensive repairs or tenants unable to work/get paid, and in turn pay their rent. Fuck!
Jose is officially "dead" as a storm; it has become extra tropical and no more updates are planned per NHC.
Not yet. 11AM still has it as a Cat 1. Expected to be post-tropical by day 3 though.

Hurricane Maria Discussion Number 9
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL152017
1100 AM AST Mon Sep 18 2017
Reports from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate
that Maria is undergoing rapid intensification. The aircraft
reported 700-mb flight-level winds of 115 kt in the northeastern
eyewall, along with reliable-looking surface wind estimates from the
Stepped Frequency Microwave radiometer as high as 104 kt. In
addition, the estimated central pressure inside the 10 n mi wide eye
has fallen to 959 mb. The initial intensity is increased to 100 kt,
making Maria a major category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale. The small eye is also apparent in radar data
from Martinique.
The initial motion is 285/9, a little to the left of the previous
motion. Other than that, there is little change in either the
forecast philosophy or the forecast track. A high pressure area to
the north of Maria should maintain a general west-northwestward
motion for the next three days or so. After that, the high weakens,
which should allow the hurricane to turn gradually northwestward and
north-northwestward. The new forecast track is changed little from
the previous one, and it calls for Maria to move through the Leeward
Islands in 12-24 h, approach the Virgin Islands in about 36 h, then
cross Puerto Rico between 48-72 h. The new track lies to the left
of the center of the guidance envelope in best agreement with the
ECMWF.
Atmospheric and oceanic conditions appear favorable for additional
rapid strengthening for the next 24 h and possibly longer.
This is reflected in the intensity forecast, which now calls for
Maria to become a category 4 hurricane in 12 h and reach a possibly
conservative peak intensity of 130 kt in about 36 h. From 72-120 h,
land interaction and less favorable upper-level winds are expected
to cause some weakening. On top of these general trends, there is
also the possibility that eyewall replacement cycles could occur
that would affect the intensity. However, Maria is likely to
maintain category 3 to 4 intensity through the forecast period.
KEY MESSAGES:
1. Maria will affect portions of the Leeward Islands and the British
and U.S. Virgin Islands as an extremely dangerous major hurricane
during the next couple of days, and hurricane warnings are in effect
for many of these islands.
2. Maria is likely to affect Puerto Rico as an extremely dangerous
major hurricane, and a hurricane watch is in effect for that island.
A hurricane warning will likely be issued later today.
3. The potential for a life-threatening storm surge, accompanied by
large and destructive waves, has increased for the Leeward Islands,
the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
4. Life-threatening flash floods and mudslides from heavy rainfall
are expected across the Leeward Islands, including Puerto Rico and
the U.S. and British Virgin Islands.
