Hurricane Watch now and Warning shortly

Starting a new thread about Irma. It now appears that the sharp turn north is not going to happen. St. Maartin is already under the warning, so BVI and USVI will be shortly. It is also quite possible based on the NHC discussions that Irma could grow into a Cat 4, before long.

We just need a small turn, a 50 mile miss distance will minimize damage.
G

Here's hoping..REALLY hoping..

We can only hope for an extra sharp turn north real soon. I did not see any suggestion that the turn would not happen. Based on what I read about the high, I have been starting to wonder.

This is the forecast for the open waters between St. Martin and Anagada. This would also leave Anguilla very exposed.


REST OF TODAY
East winds around 10 knots...

TONIGHT
Northeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 4 to 6 feet with
occasional seas up to 8 feet. Dominant Period 12 seconds.
Northeast swell 4 to 5 feet. Isolated showers.

TUESDAY
Northeast winds 15 to 20 knots. Seas 5 to 7 feet with
occasional seas up to 9 feet. Dominant Period 12 seconds. East
swell 4 to 6 feet. Scattered showers through the day. Isolated
thunderstorms in the afternoon.

TUESDAY NIGHT
Tropical storm conditions possible with
hurricane conditions also possible. Northeast winds 15 to 20 knots
becoming north around 30 knots after midnight. Seas 8 to 10 feet
with occasional seas up to 13 feet. Dominant Period 12 seconds.
East swell 4 to 8 feet. Numerous showers and isolated
thunderstorms.

knots with gusts to around 100 knots in the afternoon. Seas 18 to
20 feet with occasional seas up to 25 feet. Dominant Period 13
seconds. Northeast swell 7 to 12 feet. Showers and scattered

This one looks horrible. Hope all friends on island or with property, boats and homes, stay safe and escape damage.

Will be thinking of you all over the coming days.

There's another nasty looking orange cross behind Irma..

In Germany we say, Light Up a candle for the Bvi

That one will go North. The greater concern is some models(but not the reliable Euro) showing a storm popping up just south of Tortola.

The current track in spaghetti models show up k track about 20 miles south of Tortola. The rest are still to the north around anegada. Anyone have an idea what's up with the UKM

my prayers and best wishes go out to everyone down in the islands. Be safe.

Where do all the charter guests stay if they can't get off island? Some of the hotels, like Maria's, Village Cay, etc., must be pretty vulnerable.

The 5:00pm update has the eye located at 18.7N 64.1W in 48 hours from now. That looks to be less than 10 miles due east of Anegada. Not good.....

All depends... some may stay on boats at the dock, others hotels, some in panic will pay anything to get off the island, then there are always shelters just like the locals. Panic will certainly be an issue. The models are now showing extremely low pressures all the way to Florida and well inland into the US. If the mountains of Cuba or Hispaniola do not tear this beast apart the path of destruction will be very long. The key is always to find a place in the lee of something that will never move and where no mud slide or massive flash flood will find you. On some of these islands that can be a challenge.

If they are not off Tortola by now ferries are no longer an option.
USCG has declared USVI ports under Condition Yankee:
Closed to all commercial traffic.

Ferry Service between Charlotte Amalie Harbor, St. Thomas and Tortola BVI
•Smith Ferry’s last departure today will be at 3:30 p.m.
•CME Fast Ferry’s last departure today will be at 4:15 p.m.
There will be no further departures from downtown Charlotte Amalie to Tortola until the ports have been reopened by the USCG.

================
Ferry Service between Charlotte Amalie Harbor, St. Thomas and St. Croix, USVI
•The ferry service between St. Thomas and St. Croix is not operating.

================
Ferry Service between Urman Fredericks Marine Terminal, Red Hook and Tortola, BVI
•Interisland Boat Services’ last departure today will be at 4:30 p.m.
•Native Son’s last departure today will be at 5:00 p.m.
There will be no further departures from Red Hook to Tortola until the ports have been reopened by the USCG.

Where is the "Hurricane Hole"? Is it managed by the local government for all of the fleets or just a customary place where people move their boats?

Here is the open water forecast. This is what Anguilla and Anegada should expect. Sticking to the BVI disaster plan the BVI is expected to run a last chance ferry to Virgin Gorda and Beef Island from Anegada.


TUESDAY NIGHT
Tropical storm conditions possible with
hurricane conditions also possible. Northeast winds 20 to 25
knots. Seas 12 to 14 feet with occasional seas up to 17 feet.
Dominant Period 12 seconds. East swell 5 to 10 feet. Numerous
showers and isolated thunderstorms.

WEDNESDAY
Hurricane conditions possible. Northwest winds 40 to
50 knots with gusts to around 60 knots becoming west 60 to 70
knots with gusts to around 85 knots in the afternoon. Seas over 20
feet with occasional seas up to 32 feet. Dominant Period 12
seconds. Northeast swell 10 to 15 feet. Showers and scattered
thunderstorms.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Hurricane conditions possible. South winds 40
to 50 knots with gusts to around 60 knots easing to 25 to 30 knots
after midnight. Seas over 20 feet with occasional seas up to 32
feet subsiding to 18 to 20 feet with occasional seas up to 24 feet
after midnight. Dominant Period 11 seconds. North swell 9 to 14
feet. Showers and scattered thunderstorms.

A couple of things.."Island "Jim Kelly has been housesitting for us and has CRC prepped for the storm. If anyone is stuck I believe CRC will hold up pretty well especially on the ground floor. If you are stuck and need a place let me know..no charge. Jim is moving to his place in Carrot Bay with our cat. If you need this contact me through here or malcolmboyes@earthlink.net Secondly it would be terrific if anyone on island could keep us updated as he storm hits as long as possible..thanks..stay safe..to be honest I would be happier to be there than here and have to watch from afar!

Paraquita Bay by Brandywine. You pay $350 up front plus your dues to the charter boat round table then a couple of hundred each year in dues or mooring fee per slot. There are not near enough to go around. But, enough to keep the industry in business until insurance and the builders can catch up.

Hurricane Hole plan looks like quite the operation. Would be a good place for a webcam about now.

The 8pm update is posted along with a updated Tortola Forecast:


Wed100 % Precip. / 5.03 in

Major hurricane conditions likely. Bands of heavy rain containing strong gusty winds at times. High 84F. NW winds at 40 to 60 mph, increasing to 80 to 100 mph. Chance of rain 100%. 5 to 8 inches of rain expected.


Wed Night100 % Precip. / 4.01 in


Tropical storm or hurricane conditions likely. Bands of heavy rain containing strong gusty winds at times. Low 78F. S winds at 80 to 100 mph, decreasing to 40 to 60 mph. Chance of rain 100%. 3 to 5 inches of rain expected.

If the breeze does come around to the South in force any boats left at the docks and even many of the docks will be at risk of being piled up on the shore.

Just saw that BVI Governor urged evacuation of Anegada and will be providing means to take people to VG or Tortola. Wishing safety for all. JudyG

There will be two last chance Ferries at Noon on Tuesday taking people to Virgin Gorda and Tortola. The school on Anegada will be open as a public shelter as well as several public shelters on Tortola.

Malcom our thoughts and prayers are for all on Tortola to be safe and for sure CRC! I know how much you love that villa so good thoughts!

My heart is racing and I'm not currently in BVI, nor do I own property in BVI.

Thinking of everyone throughout the islands! Stay positive and stay safe!

Getting worse. Latest track forecast is between Virgin Gorda and Anegada <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at1+shtml/090514.shtml?gm_track#contents

Hurricane Irma Special Discussion Number 25
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL112017
800 AM AST Tue Sep 05 2017

This special advisory is being issued to increase the initial and
forecast intensity of Irma.

NOAA and U.S. Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft have recently
measured peak flight-level winds of around 170 kt and SFMR winds
of around 150 kt. Based on these data the initial intensity has
been increased to 150 kt, making Irma an extremely dangerous
category 5 hurricane. Some additional strengthening is still
possible, but fluctuations in intensity are likely during the next
couple of days due to eyewall replacement cycles.

No change was made to the previous track or wind radii forecast.

KEY MESSAGES:

1. Irma is expected to affect the northeastern Leeward Islands as
an extremely dangerous category 5 hurricane, accompanied by
life-threatening wind, storm surge, and rainfall. Hurricane warnings
are in effect for portions of the Leeward Islands. Preparations
should be rushed to completion, as tropical-storm force winds are
expected to first arrive in the hurricane warning area later today.

2. Irma is also expected to affect the British and U.S. Virgin
Islands and Puerto Rico as a dangerous major hurricane beginning
tomorrow, with life-threatening wind, storm surge, and rainfall.
Hurricane warnings have been issued for these areas, and tropical-
storm-force winds are expected to arrive in these areas by early
tomorrow.

3. Irma could directly affect Hispaniola, the Turks and Caicos, the
Bahamas, and Cuba as an extremely dangerous major hurricane later
this week. Residents in these areas should monitor the progress of
Irma and listen to advice given by officials.

4. There is an increasing chance of seeing some impacts from Irma in
the Florida Peninsula and the Florida Keys later this week and this
weekend. Otherwise, it is still too early to determine what direct
impacts Irma might have on the continental United States. However,
everyone in hurricane-prone areas should ensure that they have their
hurricane plan in place.


FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

Went to Stormcarib and entered the co-ordinates for our house, looking for how far away Irma would be in 18 hours. The answer came back: 0.0 miles! Wow!

Thoughts and prayers for all of our friends in the islands and FL. May good luck be with you all.

Be thankful for an early warning system. This season marks the 150th anniversary of the sinking of the Rhone.

Now cat 5. Prayers and best wishes to you all.

IRMA will be a pivotal moment for myself and all the people of the BVI. I suspect that most structures will not survive the storm. IRMA will be much worse that the storm that sunk the Rhone. The BVI will need a lot of help. Hoping that all my friends remain safe. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Water & Cistern maintenance:
Can some experienced residents chime in for the benefit of all
After the storm - how safe is private residential cistern water?
What post-storm precautions would you normally take?

A potential surge of 4 - 6' and projected 10" of rain in the BVI is a terrible thing to read. We are thinking of everyone there and for your safety.

Can't think why cistern water wouldn't be safe, unless the cistern is inundated by groundwater. The big issue will be pumping the water if there is no electricity. If you have a generator, or a gravity feed system, no problem.

lol... dip/lift & carry.... almost fail-proof system

I guess the concern is contamination from airborne stuff ending up being washed into the cistern
But, this hurricanes aren't twisters... perhaps less of a concern

Thinking and praying for everyone on the islands!

Stay safe! And I agree with Malcolm, it is difficult to watch things unfold from afar. The hours after it passes will be torturous waiting to hear from friends and loved ones!

Hunker down everyone and let us know you are alright as soon as you can....

Many prayers going out to all our friends in the BVI's!! Keep very safe as you all have thousands praying and thinking about you.

BVI and all the Caribbean are in my and my family's prayers right now. God bless...

Hello. Thanks for this site. Other than here what other sites are helpful for BVI news and updates? I'm also interested in Aguilla news. What are some good sites for that?

Thanks. Good luck. Prayers offered.

Saw on facebook that residents of Anegada were told to evacuate.
Hoping and praying that all our friends in the BVI and USVI stay safe.

Our prayers are with everyone in Irma's path.

I've been watching Irma over the last few days with growing fears for our beloved BVI. I've seen firsthand the effects from Camille (a Cat 5, 1969) and Katrina. The destruction was unimaginable - buildings, swaths of trees, etc., just gone, mostly from the storm surge, plus the wind.

For you folks there, don't take anything for granted. Get to high ground. My thoughts are with you.

Anegada's highest point - is less than 30 feet above sea level
Not where I'd want to be riding out any storm, much less this one

At 800 AM AST (1200 UTC), the distinct eye center of Hurricane Irma
was located near latitude 16.7 North, longitude 57.7 West. Irma is
moving toward the west near 14 mph (22 km/h), and this general
motion is expected to continue today, followed by a turn toward the
west-northwest tonight. On the forecast track, the dangerous core of
Irma will move near or over portions of the northern Leeward Islands
tonight and early Wednesday.

Reports from NOAA and U.S. Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft
indicate Irma continues to strengthen and maximum sustained winds
have increased to near 175 mph (280 km/h) with higher gusts. Irma
is an extremely dangerous category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale. Some fluctuations in intensity are likely
during the next day or two, but Irma is forecast to remain a
powerful category 4 or 5 hurricane during the next couple of days.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles
(220 km).

Much as I hate to say it the fate of the BVI hinges on when this turn occurs. If it's a bit early and we get a 45 mile miss distance this will be a bad dream. If not it may turn out to be a nightmare. To all my BVI friends hoping with all I have for a turn soon!

Good luck everyone - stay safe and don't go out -

So many friends yachts on the docks, Nanny Cay Irma preparations

Praying for everyone. Stay safe

Tuesday am and its just gone 175mph

Donna, Sydney and I are thinking about you guys, good luck and stay safe! by the way, saw your guys working hard around the construction site, are you all secured up now?

That thing is a monster. Stay safe, Nick. At this point all I can do is offer my thoughts and prayer to you and Monzi. What are your plans? Is there somewhere with a stoutly-built place in which you can shelter?

Hoping everyone goes; concerned if the school will be a safe place if storm surge? Worried for everyone.

Hello Nick. Have you ridden out one of these before? Take Care!

The reef to the North and the Island itself has a long history of protecting those in the Settlement from anything from the North. The real risk is anything sustained from the South. Sustained massive seas from the South at likely not in the cards from this one. At least those on Anegada are safe from mud and rock slides and the sudden torrent of a mass flood.

Stay safe,Nick. Praying for you. Hope to see you in October.

Latest projectons keep moving the track south so it could pass between Anegada and North Sound. North and east shores will catch the worst. North Shore from Joshia's to Smuggler's will catch it full in the face with 100kn+ winds. Looking a 10-12' surge over a 1.4' high tide and 10 to 12' waves on top

I just read this AP release, hopefully it's a quote from a couple days ago and she's changed her mind...

"Vivian Wheatley, proprietor of the Anegada Reef Hotel, planned to stay behind. She said she would stay in one of the hotel rooms and take advantage of the generator since there were no guests "We know it's a very powerful (storm), and we know it's going to be very close," she said. "Let's hope for the best."

Re: cistern water..the only concern at a beachfront house like ours is from saltwater spray onto the roof and into the cistern. Not having gone through a storm this big with CRC before it will all be a learning experience!!I will report what I know when I hear from Jim after the storm passes. We are praying he is rounding up our cat now and getting her to safety..

Speaking of Anegada, anyone heard from Walker?

Peter of Wonky Dog plans to ride it out too.

I believe Walker and Nancy bailed this morning. I hear their house in Houston came through OK but still, two hurricanes in 10 days??? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

Really good job getting the canvas off MOST of the boats. Sadly those boats are way too close together with many remaining in the slips unprotected from anything real that might show up from the south. They may be good to go for a North blow but any real wind and surge from the south will end up with at least most of the boats piled up in the back. When one goes, they all will go like dominoes.

https://www.facebook.com/nannycay/photos...e=3&theater

Walker & Nancy did get out of dodge this morning .

Yes, can't imagine it.

I don't blame BVI Pirate and his wife for leaving. Irma is one big storm. I hear some my be staying on Anagada and I don't doubt their choice,they have actual experience to draw from. But I do hope they will be fine as they ride this out.

Huge relief to know Walker and Nancy left..I'm sure they are at their place in Long Bay..stay safe everyone..

All the best to Kelly w A Belly riding it out on Anegada.
Scary.

Hope everyone stays safe.

Good morning, I hope you are safe first and foremost!!! We are to be heading to BVI's on the 15th. What are your thoughts? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

Now 180mph sustained. How much bigger can this get! I don't think my villa will be sustain this.

Jose just forming behind. Shouldn't be as powerful but it could dump more rain at the weekend. Definitely not what's needed right now.

Unless the path miraculously moves you really don't want to visit on the 15th. It will be better described as devastation than storm damage if a full on hit by a cat 5. Recovery will take a long time.

The BVI are my favorite place on earth, especially Anegada. I cannot imagine being there in this storm. Thoughts and prayers to all the wonderful people in the islands. I hope everyone makes it through this thing safely.

The one hope you have Thorsten is that the major winds will be coming over the ridge so South Sound might get a little shelter.

Bring battery operated tools, chain saw, crowbars and plenty of deck screws.

I believe they flew to Texas this morning.

I was going to say something similar but you beat me to it. I really hope this is not going to as bad as it looks right now. The way it looks right now I'd be checking to make sure their trip insurance is solid for trips booked months from now.

Google Virgin Islands Damage Hurricane Marilyn to get an idea...



Notice Bill Clinton's USCG boat up on the dock in the background...

I will bet they will stage an Anegada/BVI recovery from Texas. Very hard to do from the 3rd world even on a good day without any storm...

You're serious??

Any word if they have shut down the electric grid yet?
Or at what hour they will - as a precaution?

No need to remind residents... but fill anything and everything with drinking water
Fill the freezer immediately with even ziplocs full of water - hopefully it will freeze in time

Power will be going out, if not already
Which also means - for the majority.. cooking will be off-line

Give it some thought - cook/fry.. prepare food, make sandwiches...

Just when you think it can't get any worse, it gets worse. Projected track is now between Anegada and North Sound with one eye wall over Anegada and the other over Necker. Max winds over 185 which makes it the strongest Atlantic Hurricane ever recorded.

Keep in mind that the force of the wind increases as the square of the speed so every 5 knots can make a huge difference in destructive power.

The weather is still fine in Anguilla there is still some time before the unsafe conditions. But changing NNE at 21. Forecast tomorrow this time 156 out of the SSW.

I wish God's Blessings on all of you in BVI. We just finished with Hurricane Harvey here in Houston and have our eyes closely watching. Looks like a rough storm and hoping it passes quickly.

Stay safe and help everyone in need.

Blessings to you all.

SKelly

GlennA, I'll go back and find the article, but earlier "someone" reported a gust of 220mph was recorded...is that possible??


***I edited my post to include this ABC news quote...

"Irma was packing 185 mph winds and gusts up to 220 mph as of before 2 p.m. ET Tuesday and is expected to continue churning with deadly hurricane-force winds and a dangerous storm surge across a wide swath of the Caribbean this week before moving toward southern Florida, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC)."

Anybody know who the couple is sitting at the table on the SDB webcam?

I have a trip planned for mid November...hoping that is still possible even if its to help with clean up.
Praying for everyone and everything involved. I have visited this little chapel by our house many times in the last week to say prayers

Holding you all in my prayers. Stay safe!

Isn't that Ann?

If you are on Anguilla, you are square in the cross hairs. Stay safe.

Thanks Rick...
on a light moment - they note - grid will be shut down "if" winds exceed 40mph

Yeah...ok....

Keep in mind - island life means things sometimes get done on a whim

One of those moments... where it may not be advisable to procrastinate...

If you want to see the hurricane in a different ominous manner > go to accuweather.com > san juan PR > radar > push "satellite" view beneath the panel > then, zoom in. (sorry, I don't how to cut and paste). I hope/pray everyone remains safe. rrs

Finally got from one end of this thread to the other. Scary indeed. We understand our house on Jost is secured so now we wait.

Our thoughts and concerns are not the house.....they are the many wonderful people we have met through out the years, please everyone stay safe.

NHS 5 pm update has Irma starting the expected turn to the NW. Let's hope the turn is a bit greater than forecast. The turn at least should keep Tortola out of the NE quadrant.

Grenada, Maine, Italy, Greece, Croatia If you do not have a boat need check and see how Petit St.Vincent makes out along with the airport in Barbados to get there.

Latest track has moved a bit, looks to be in line with Great Camanoe, thinking about you Ratmanswife! This thing changes by the hour.

Haha well the possibilities are endless! For sailing, you could see if you could get a boat out of Newport, Rhode Island and sail toward Martha's Vinyard.

If you're more of a beach person, I think the Yucatan is pretty safe from Irma, as long as you aren't flying thought Florida or Atlanta. Our favorite resorts are the Excellence Brand - luxury all-inclusives.

And of could if you can get a decent flight, now is a good time to be in Europe, even if it a short trip. Everyone is harvesting grapes right now because of the warm summer if you like wine. You can still probably get a beach week in Italy and Croatia - or pick up a boat there if you can get one. Northern Europe is still warm enough to be out all day - Amsterdam is one of our favorite cities.
