It seems for sure, today 91L will become a Tropical Depression, if so, for sunday or monday it could be an Hurricane Cat 1 or 2, the only thing nobody knows is which track will follow, by now, southern islands are "...unlikely to receive a direct hit.." I'm not sure we could pass through this again, it continues to be hard for a lot of people, Dean's experience has marked us deeply...

Hi Gert While Felix is given us some rain and wind during all day, another Tropical Wave is preparing from the East, for next week, (98L) that could be a Tropical Depression on monday and maybe a Tropical Storm while passing through lesser antilles wednesday or thrusday morning, maybe going a little bit north ... but if too early to say so, will be checking

Hi Gert Today it was a rainy day with some wind, now sky is a little overcasted, maybe more rain at night, we were having a really hot weather during the week that I get used to it!!! It seems a tropical wave 94L will pass through lesser antilles this friday night, I hope it will not develop more than a Tropical Depression, but it seems it will probably be; if so, it will be the 2nd hurricane of the season, it depends on its development it's too early for saying anything but today it did well, it will bring plenty of rain specially to the south but nobody knows where it will be passing by.

I would have typed But 60 % of population of MARTINIQUE are without power.I am listenning RFO MARTINIQUE. People are concerned about water supply. They also criticize a lot of sad behaviours from few citizens. For example one listener saw a woman buying twelve breads !! Perhaps too much in disaster era !!! Authorities have just announced that most of main roads are now available. |

But 40 % of population of MARTINIQUE are without power. -Most of bakeries don't have power. So are not able to deliver bread.

Hi everyone I don't know why but I have the little impression that some people here is not ready for this hurricane, For my side, today I will finish my own preparations in the morning or maybe in the afternoon, It seems that Dean will pass rapidly, that's is good, but someone has told this before, that leave us not so much time to prepare, since there are some people that still doesn't know that it was declare an hurricane today early in the morning.. Hope everybody will be ready at time since I'm almost sure Dean will pass earlier than forecasted Monica Jean-Vincent Martinique

Hi Gert It doesn't seem for Dean to decide where to go, north or south... Dean is driving me crazy!!! We are now in Orange Alert; that means as I've told you early "prepare yourself"... Tomorrow morning all Foodstores, Gas oil stations , etc will be pretty crowded for sure Monica Jean-Vincent Martinique

HI Gert Everybody in southern islands are worried about, as here, with Dean, and yesterday in my last message I didn't mean to be insensitive about the southern islands at all, I only wanted to make the point of what happenned with Ivan, and its incredible and unexpected southern path for the almost last moment.. in 2004.. for a reminder he was supposed to hit us!!! But now, It doesn't seems to me that we are in the same case, it has been a lot of time since our last hurricane's hit ... apparently .. and it's going to be my first hurricane's experience.. Yesterday Meteo France has informed us that we are in "yellow alert", that is a prevention of a possible storm here in the next days, as nobody knows exactly where it will be... the center After this we can be in Orange Alert - prepare yourself, Red Alert - protect yourself, Purple Alert - confine yourself Grey Alert - Prudent remainder  Today is a holiday, The Virgin Mary's Assumption ... time to pray for everybody in these islands, There is only one thing that is true, all of us in a different way will be affected by Dean this weekend... being in the center is not good but is not also good being in the sides since our islands are next one to another with a very close distance, only rain can make strong prejudice and damage I wanted to post this early in the morning but I had some electricity problems, hope this won't happen during this weekend Monica Jean-Vincent Martinique

Hi Gert Some vacations for me later, because nothing so important to say till now, it seems Dean will hit us directly!! , I really hope it will be change its direction for a little more to the south, sorry for the other islands, but Dean makes me think of Ivan in 2004, Ivan was in the beggining forecasted to pass through us but he decided not to do so, By the way lately, there were some heavy rain, but now it's so hot ... with a lot of humidity Monica Jean-Vincent Martinique

Good afternoon!! Today we had a heavy rainy morning, with some thunders in the distance, but later it was sunny and wet without important wind, It seems tomorrow it would be worst, but that can change a little tonight... It was too hot recently specially these two last weeks and some water was needed since some cities don't have any for two days by now... Monica Jean-Vincent Martinique
