See below link to video of a ship (that seems to be in distress) in Great Bay. I hope that they will be alright. 


Winds are now coming out of the south. 

Cheers

Other than the few essential businesses, the island is effectively closed. Philipsburg is ready. Saw a few persons on the Great Bay beachside. Passed a handful of cars on the road. 

Spent two hours at Divi Little Bay resort earlier. The sea conditions have worsened, as is to be expected.

Time to prepare lunch before the power is shut off again. #loadsheddingchronicles

This is the latest update from our Met Office regarding the tropical wave passing through.
We have not had much rain yet, but we have had heavy  thunder and lightning. There was a very loud thunder clap right over us a little while ago. It scared everyone. It rocked the house.
My dogs went crazy. 
It came on very suddenly. Thunder is followed by lightning. Unfortunately, two people in town on the boardwalk were hit by lightning. One lady was in a wheelchair.
I think they all are ok. 
Be careful out there.

- Atmospheric river

Good afternoon
We are experiencing the effects if what Mr. Weatherman calls an atmospheric river of moisture. 

St Maarten seems to be on the edge of it. Some islands probably will have more significant flooding.
We had 3 inches of rain overnight and we are still under a heavy rainfall advisory. Currently there is light rain and thunder.

Be safe and dry, everyone.
