- Today is the 6th Annivesary of Maria's Devastation
  • By Luis Salazar <lsalazar.pr at gmail.com>
  • Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2023 10:22:59 -0400
This date is a bad one to remember in the history of Puerto Rico. During the devastation we lost over 4000 inhabitants to the winds, to the water and to the lack of services that were needed to survive the aftermath of this terrible storm. Somehow we think back and hope to learn for a better future.

A view from another perspective. Here from North to South again from the bluffs of Cerro Gordo to the Plata River. Then south to the central highlands.

- Waves, rain and wind...a little of each

For what was expected it never got around to show. That's just perfect. A little bit of waves, rain and wind. Would it not for the fact that we knew that Lee was just North of us it could have passed for a normal day. However, the winds from the west were a different touch and that was interesting. Thank God for another miss... let's see what the rest of the season brings.

- Watching and Praying

Models show that the Caribbean islands might be spared of the presence of Lee if nothing goes wrong and the tracks hold. Hope the best for everyone and that this will be history in a few days.

On the local plane heavy churning seas and sun...

- Another Nice Day as we watch AL95
  • By Luis Salazar <lsalazar.pr at gmail.com>
  • Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2023 07:46:57 -0400
CAREFULLY WATCHING as in the past 12 hours AL95 has gone Northwest a couple of degrees. A little more of that and it just might skip a caribbean landfall.

As for local weather, everything looks great. Another sunny beautiful day.

- Everything still pretty quiet
  • By Luis Salazar <lsalazar.pr at gmail.com>
  • Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2023 08:30:15 -0400
Here you have an aerial from West to East and South. To the upper left of the picture is San Juan and Levittown east about 15 miles (San Juan not seen because of clouds) and 10 miles to Levittown which is barely visible. To the south (right of the picture) the first hills are about 5 miles, the second set about 12 and barely visible at the end is about 18 miles.

So the weather is still good, but whatever is coming it is definitely from the East. Once Franklin clips north that will also change things somewhat.

Enjoy your day...

- We have another storm in the Caribbean
  • By Francisco Echegaray <fechegaray at hotmail.com>
  • Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2023 22:26:33 +0000
That same strong weather system over the Windward islands that we were watching since last night has officially turned into tropical stom Franklin.
Our prayers for our brothers and sisters of the Dominican Republic.  Please start your preparations for this system.
Here in San Juan, Puerto Rico we have had some patchy rains and a few gust but nothing serious so far.

- Water and Dust
  • By Luis Salazar <lsalazar.pr at gmail.com>
  • Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2023 06:18:19 -0400
The season is in full swing yet the only thing we're seeing is a lot of water and dust from the Saharan layer. As long as this keeps up the region will be alright.

Here is a picture of the North coast region town of Dorado where the dust layer and the water are easily seen.

Hope everyone is in good health...
