Looks like Punta Cana, one of my favorite destination places, is in the crosshairs.

Not a map-but this is the daily grid by county and service provider--fewer than 700,000 still without power. I believe it was current this morning:

Congratulations! Sweet relief! After doing the happy dance, I’m going to bet you get the best night’s sleep in a week.

Bastardi seems to think Maria will hit the east coast.

Given his track record with storms, that is not good.

[SE Mom]

WooooHoooo! You’re going to sleep well tonight:)

We’ll see what happens Wednesday when Maria shoots the Mona Passage between the DR and PR.

Now you can go reset all of your clocks.

Interesting discussions as always over at Storm 2k site. No real consensus but lots of talk about how much influence Jose will have on Maria’s track. It SEEMS unlikely she’ll hit our coastline, but...too many variables this early.

Looks as though the islands and PR are in the current path. :( It’s intensifying quickly.

Also read that for the first time in 300 years, no one is living on Barbuda at this time.

Ha, ha. Funny that you mention it. I just posted on facebook if anyone knew of realtors in Wyoming, Utah or Idaho!

Maria, well. Irma was a glancing blow, but as always, our main worry are not storms themselves - we live in reinforced concrete bunkers - but the aftermath of weeks without power. I am exhausted from trying to keep our business going with a backup generator (30 employee sales and call center and operations headquarters) for 10 days without utility power. Finally it came back yesterday and I was able to take my first day off since September 1. I am beat and I don’t need this crap anymore. Specially with our heavy season coming up earlier than usual this year. We’ll see what happens.

Glad to see you weathered Irma alright. My SIL arrives from Europe tomorrow to her home in your area and I’m sure I’ll hear about what happened there in detail.

Here’s hoping for a last minute detour!

Bastardi seems to think Maria will hit the east coast.

That would be most unfortunate. Everyone has piles of brush and fencing. Lots of projectiles for the wind to play with. The county used to wait for FEMA money to fund contractors to do the pickup. Hope they expedite this. Pickup does commence today but will it be soon enough? Sounds like boarding up is essential for Maria's approach.

[Raebie]

Yep, love that site. It seems that Jose is really messing up the models tracking where Maria is going beyond 3 days. Sounds like the longer Jose hangs around, the better for the coast.

[zzeeman]

All the debris laying around. That’s going to be a problem if Maria shows up.

Yes, our curb is pretty much stacked as high as it can be without things tumbling into the street... we stopped bringing out the debris until they come by and pick some of it up...

Praying for that high pressure to keep weakening so Maria can race up NorthEast into the Atlantic to quietly die out!

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

You are right best night of sleep...I feel good again and not a zombie, I could have been a star on Walking Dead

LOL! Looks like rain and wind (nothing like Irma of course) for us here in the inland part of The People's Republik of Connecticut. There's some concern for folks along the New England shoreline for potential wind and storm surge damage.

Hurricane Maria could spell trouble for the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Beyond that, looks like she may cause some trouble for the east coast of Florida...?
