My parents live in Puerto Rico and I’m concerned because they live in the water near Old San Juan - my dad is evacuating today and my mom lives about 2 miles inland, up a hill, surrounded by concrete, so she’s staying in her apt, which is on the 2nd floor of her building. All of my friends & family live in suburban San Juan.
My husband’s family is all on the West Coast of Puerto Rico, in the Moca - San Sebastian area, and we’re of course concerned for them too because all paths seem to indicate that the eye will pass right over them.
Pray for Puerto Rico and the Caribbean!
Please provide us with updates when you can, CLL — and good luck to all of you and God Bless.

BULLETIN
Hurricane Maria Advisory Number 13
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL152017
500 AM AST Tue Sep 19 2017
...EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HURRICANE MARIA HEADED FOR THE VIRGIN
ISLANDS AND PUERTO RICO...
SUMMARY OF 500 AM AST...0900 UTC...INFORMATION
This is local lore, and the storm will do what it will do, but when one hits Dominica on a westerly track, it almost always hits us. But this one is on a WNW track and it might just yet skirt by our northeast. A lot can happen in 24 hours. Irma spared the full force on Miami in the last 6 hours. I am not counting on it, though. At first light here soon I will go and do a full shut down of the office, park my car in a covered garage, go home and hunker down. I will stop reading the sensationalist news. I’ll be here on FR and on FB and the NHC until power goes out. Since it is estimated that we will be without power for many weeks if not months, I will save my cell charge for emergencies.
We really don’t need this. We were weakened by Irma even if it was an indirect blow. I am exhausted from ten days of trying to keep the business running with a backup generator. So after finishing my prep this morning I will lay in bed to read and pray and only get up to check the NHC advisories.
Thank you for your prayers.

I pray that you maintain your strength, wits and resolve in the days ahead--also that Maria weakens and turns away from land. As you said, a lot can happen in 24 hours.
Interesting. My dad said this to me when I was a young girl — if it passes anywhere south of Guadeloupe, we’re going to get hit.
I recall, in 1979 (I was just 13) when Hurricane David was scheduled to hit Ponce at a Cat 3 almost Cat 4 and it changed paths overnight, a direct hit on the Dominican Republic, where they had not been ready (unexpected) and about 2,000 Dominicans died that night. I was living in Rio Piedras at the time.
David then went on to a NW and ended up in Iceland as a sub-tropical depression of sorts and then its resting place came to be the Faroe Islands (north of Scotland), where it rained incessantly.
REZAMOS POR USTEDES!!!
That’s the scariest thing I’ve seen in a while. I gear the death toll will be staggering.
We will be praying SilvieWaldorfMD (((((Hugs)))))
I will be praying a rosary soon cll.(((((Hugs)))))
Thanks for the ping
Very sad. A poor island with very good and welcoming people.
Our homeschool group had a tour scheduled for NOAA operations this Thursday in Lakeland, FL. We just got notice that they asked if we would reschedule because the crews are just too exhausted.
Prayers to everyone affected everywhere.
Many thanks.
Appreciated.
Gracias!
Prayer for your family and loved ones, Silvie.
Thanks for the beautiful pctures.
