https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/atlantic/2016/Invest-99L?map=model 99L is not yet a named storm, so there shouldn't be big winds, but it will be very rainy in SXM, probably starting this evening, for a day or so.

Big winds just started. Lights are starting to flicker on Pelican Key. Just expected a lot of rain.

Been through a lot worse. Rain, but winds are minimum.
Typical flooding in streets.
Loaded up at Carl & Sons and just returned from restaurant supply store.
Hoping for weather to clear by dinner tonight, or will not be traveling far to eat out.

Wow. The rocks are sure showing on the Maho cam. Will the sand ever come back. Been that way for a long time now.

Just looked at both webcams. Hope if you're on island you stocked up on booze and snacks to hunker down.

Insel Air was supposed to land from Curacao, originally was going to SJU, apparently now going to try to land.. Kinda scary!

Are planes leaving the island today?

I've just been watching for about 10 minutes, so don't know. There wouldn't normally be anything big leaving, except for the morning AA flight. Small planes, I would think, no.

We just posted it on facebook pages "pirates of SXM" and "SXM or bust" (Jim Haughton) Might try that. I'll do another video in a bit conditions to be getting a bit worse. Island 92 is saying they think it will move off by about 6pm.

Right now it has calmed down in our area of Beacon Hill. The rain has stopped and the flights are flying in and out normal. No need to panic. At least one of our tall Palm leaves were blown off, thanks for that will have the Gardener clear them up. And the Sun is shining a bit. Cool.
