The Weather Channel just said that Charlotte Amalie had 11 inches of rain in the past 24 hours. Huh??

The official amount at the airport was 8+". Sun was up in the morning. I guess we are getting a head start on our 45" annually.

Today is the tomorrow you talked about yesterday.

Wow, ok, was it pretty localized to STT, as no one from BVI or SXM complained about rain.

And I think it was localized even on the island. On the east end, it rained, but on the west end it poured. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

My rain gauge tops out at 12" and it was full this morning early - I live on top of Crown Mt. STT and it rained long and hard all night Friday and Sat morning.

There were rocks in the road when we drove around yesterday. I haven't heard of any landslides. Evidently the power was out in sections of the island. Quite honestly, where we are, it was a nice little rain that made it easy to sleep, no power outage. It's funny how the topography determines the weather. People on St John hardly got anything....

That's why I was so surprised that I hadn't heard about it from other islands. Didn't realize that much rain could be so localized.

We went to bed with a clear pool. In the morning the entire pool was brown and useless  This was in Peterborg.
