Stay safe, cll, and send a report as soon as you can.
LOL. I think we are talking about different pictures. The photos that nutmeg was asking about were at post 157 and 160 and neither were “damage” photos. I took them off the web and if you look at the url’s one includes Dominica and the other includes Roseau in the url.
Now, I have not been there and as dfwgator rightly says, people can post anything on any site, but I think that is what got hammered last night.
Sorry to nit-pick out the detail on the thread while people are at risk.
Geez...

Amateur radio operators are reporting some deaths on Dominica.
This may be bigger than Irma..................
Poster GCANE at Storm2K posts the graphic below from NASA and explains:
Also at NASA Goddard, a 3-D image of Hurricane Maria was made to understand what was happening within the storm. The dual-frequency radar on the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite saw an impressively tall thunderstorms cell of precipitation in the compact eyewall of Hurricane Maria on Monday, Sept.18, 2017. "Enough water vapor was condensing into rain inside of this cell that rapid updrafts developed, rapid enough to lift the precipitation until it froze and then even higher until it penetrated into the lower stratosphere at 16.75 km altitude," said Owen Kelley of NASA Goddard's Precipitation Processing System..
"This tall cell (also known as a "hot tower") was part of a sequence of such cells that were seen by infrared satellite instruments, such as the one on the recently launched GOES-16 satellite. Meanwhile, Maria put on an unexpectedly fast intensification from category 1 to category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson scale on Monday (Sept. 18)."
Research conducted at NASA, at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and elsewhere suggests that a sequence of hot towers, also known as a "convective burst," is one a way to detect that a hurricane's heat engine going into high gear. The end result is intensified winds circling the eye at the ocean's surface.
Maria continued to intensify after GPM passed overhead and reached Category 5 status that night.
Think about driving down a freeway at 41 mph, and sticking your hand out the window, palm flat into the “wind”. Now do it at 82-83 mph. Now imagine the same “multiplication”, again.
Yes, I saw that and thought “great graphic”!
Yup, most likely will be the case.
Hard to believe we have another HUGE storm, so quickly... The poor islands are going to be in VERY BAD shape.
this may be 170-175 now
recon just found pressure 916mb or so and estimated surface winds of 152 kts
Lord have mercy.
Virtually no communication coming out of Dominica. Very ominous.
I’m listening to the radio station, the only reports they can get are from Ham Radio operators.
