Well, as noted, we have had a fair amount of rain recently! Here in the south end of the island (Laborie/Piaye), it has been somewhat intermittent, but yesterday (Sun) was pretty much rain and grey clouds all day long - and it is still going on. Looks like it may break later today, but we are still having the occasional shower overhead. So far - no reports of major flooding - will wait for the evening news to see how true that is. I don't doubt there was some more minor flooding around some of the lower lying areas of the island - we all know the rivers have not been properly de-silted after Tomas 1 1/2 years ago - they just dredge and leave the silt on the banks of the rivers - not very effective!!! Maybe the new government will do something different, but I won't get my hopes up - they've been there almost 6 months and that hasn't changed yet!
All in all, while we locals are glad to see the rain in to ensure our water supply and our crops, I am sure our visitors have been bummed out by the grey skies and wet weather. But hey- it's still hot - the ocean always feels refreshing rain or shine! From the satellite pics, it looks like it looks like whatever this weather system was is moving out and should be gone by later this evening and we'll be back to sunny skies and hit, humid days. Hopefully, things will dry out for Mainstage Jazz this weekend!
Stay safe out there and enjoy your day!
