Not bad at all right now. Rain, some wind, but nothing drastic so far. My AA flight to Miami was cancelled today. I'm rebooked through Philly on Saturday.

good morning.I woke up to sunny skies! there is a little rain now, but Erika still has not passed us. She is sliding south of us it seems so I don't even know if we will get decent rainfall from her

According to that story, closest point is not until 4 PM today, so quite a while to go yet!

What's the weather like in SXM now? The Club Orient webcam doesn't look very bad at all now. The Villas at Great Bay webcam looks to have been taken down, I guess.

Yes, the gal who takes care of the house here has a house she just built on Dominica. She is really worried.

Dominica is really geting flooded. there is a video on this link which shows the raging force of water just destroying a building. there are reports on the radio that at least 3 are missing due to landslides.

Can't really tell much on that shot, as it is just a still shot, but doesn't look bad at all. Hopefully the island will at least get some decent rain.

The 2 PM advisory shows Erika slightly weaker, BUT as of now, looks to be almost a direct hit as hurricane on the Florida coast on Monday morning!!

no rain here...just wind

On the Club O webcam, there was seaweed on the beach this morning, but none now. The waves look a little higher than normal, but not bad.

Hopefully you will still get some rain.

This is the only web cam is working right now looks like it's rather windy.

Yes. Quite windy now.

I was watching the Weather Channel a few minutes ago and they said wind gusts to 50 mph on SXM, but the radar looks like the precipitation is south of SXM at the moment.

Looks like it is raining now on the harbor view webcam.

Yes. Just wind now where I am.

Reports of 4 killed in Dominica.

Thanks Rick for letting us join you during the storm. Bringing it live to us makes it very real and we are all thankful that it wasn't as bad as predicted. Hoping for sunny skies and calm winds tomorrow.
