The only positive is that it is still looking like it will be a decent distance from the islands that we're devastated by Irma. And it looks to only be a cat 3. *knock on wood*

And it looks to only be a cat 3. *knock on wood* Something surreal when we refer to a cat 3 as "only a cat 3". But you are right... compared to 185mph this will be a mere windy day. Atleast we all hope and pray that's the case.

Yeah, not that it isn't something to be concerned about or prepare for, but a bit more usual for what the Islands tend to see and are better prepared to handle - when in their undamaged state anyway. Certainly anything hitting the islands that were devastated is a problem.

Looks like it is going to hit the Virgin Islands "only" as a Cat 4 Tuesday p.m. or Wed. a.m. with 12 to 18 inches of rain plus storm surge. No big deal I guess.

Hurricane force winds only go out to 30 miles, so BVI looks to be outside the hurricane force winds, as of this morning's fix. Thankful for that. Not so San Juan, something like 7 miles, closest point of approach.

GeorgeC1 said: The eye is now visible on the San Juan radar. Looks to me that it will be 70 to 80 miles south of Roadtown. It's a small break that should keep additional damage down in the BVI. Hurricane force wings extend 35 miles out from the center. St Croix will see the eye pass about 20 miles south and St Thomas about 60 miles. Rains will be a big problem for everyone. G Praying.....

Hope everyone does well. The devastation caused by these two storms is unreal.
