I am in the Dominican Republic now, in the city of Santo Domingo (working) on the south coast. Fifth floor, my view is to the south but no water is visible through the buildings of the city.
Sat, 09:30 AM update. This morning, Saturday 22 Aug, we have clear skies, low winds and small clouds coming from the east - coming from the storm’s direction. Rain bands last night, and heavy rains yesterday late afternoon. Winds are increasing, but it is sunny.
Thanks for checking in. I don’t recall us ever having someone in the DR posting during a storm. Please continue to provide local updates as you are able.
The rain bands you got yesterday in the DR were actually from a separate tropical wave that went through the area. We got it a day earlier in Puerto Rico.
NN, hi. In the San Juan Metro Area so far heavy overcast with some moderate to heavy rain about a couple of hours ago. Almost no wind with that band. Seems like another cell coming in from the V.I.
