- July 5- Thunderstorms forecast after Mudnight |
|
The day has been mostly cloudy throughout with only a couple of brief showers . Bigger weather things are in the wings for the future. May God bless us all on the 4th of July 2023. Isabel The blue is missing….. |
- July 3 - Stormy Weather in the Forecast |
|
We returned from Miami today after a week where we experienced some heavy downpours. While away there was a flooding rain here which caused a rock slide from the slope behind our house. There is some messy weather coming up from the south which is already announcing thunderstorms. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. May God bless us all. I Isabel Welcomed by a brief shower. I |
- June 29 - St. Croix’s Flooding Rain |
|
Hello, from Miami where we had a Flood Advisory today. In the meanwhile, the big blob I saw on radar courtesy of The Weatherman has dropped a “ton” of RAIN on the islands. My daughter sent me photos of the flooding which I am sending you. He said to expect the same on Saturday!! Be careful everyone out there in the Caribbean!! May God bless us all! Isabel |
- June 29 - Miami Weather vs. St, Croix |
|
It’s the same, except more rain here. St, Croix is still waiting for the promised rain. However, we miss our “park” and our animal friends in it. Hope to be back next Monday. May God bless us all. Isabel |
- June 24 — Another beautiful day! |
|
May God bless us all! Isabel |
- June 22 - T S Bret in the Caribbean |
|
Very breezy, choppy sea, rip currents are all indications of a disturbance in the vicinity. Though BRET will pass us to the south, we will feel some effects, better still maybe a shower or two. I pray that the islands impacted did not fare too badly. May God bless us all. Isabel |
- June 21 - BRET on First Day of Summer |
|
I wish all of our neighbors well on the island chain who will be impacted by the storm. Please take all the precautions and be safe. We need the rain, but so glad that T S BRET is not coming near enough to destroy the beautiful Flamboyant flowers which were delayed by the drought. May God bless us all. Isabel |
- June 20 - TS BRET Goes Westward! |
|
That means it’s going to be too far south for us to get any rain. We are still hoping. It has also been struggling against wind shear. We still have to keep an eye on it for any wobbles. May God bless us all. Isabel …And the days continue hot, but beautiful .. |
- June 19 - Tropical Storm BRET ! |
|
The second name Storm BRET is on the way! We’re hoping that dry air and wind shear will keep it from becoming a major hurricane. It will probably enter the Caribbean on Thursday as a Category 1 Hurricane. Whatever we need to do should be done without further delay. May God bless us all. Isabel Absolutely beautiful! |
- June 18 - Suspense! |
|
We are watching 92 L which is looking to become a name storm in the next couple of days. We need the rain. It looks as if it might be coming right through us.! We have to watch and pray. It is pouring at the moment, the 3rd heavy shower in the last 45 mins. Everything should be green tomorrow! Yay!! To all the Dads out there following Stormcarib, I hope you were well celebrated as you deserve. May God bless us all. Isabel Evening photos of another beautiful day. Perhaps those are the clouds giving us the rain.
|
- June 17 - It’s Coming! |
|
Invest 92L has a high chance of becoming a name storm very soon if it continues the way it’s forming. We seem to be in its very path according to most of the computer models. However, it still is far away so many changes can take place including breaking up altogether. We do need the rain so we want it to at least cone near enough. Watch and pray! May God bless us all. Isabel Beautiful beach days. Cool evenings |
- June 15 - Another Excessive Heat Watch |
|
Hot, hot, hot weather eventually ushers in tropical storms/hurricanes like the disturbance which is currently being monitored by the Hurricane Center. May God bless us all. Isabel Deer often come into our little “park” looking for water and relief from the heat. We provide the water, the trees provide the rest. Our Flamboyant tress are finally blooming. It’s been a long drought. We’re even looking forward to what may be coming the middle of next week! |
- June 14 - First BIG Rain ! |
|
Early this morning we got very heavy rainfall as we haven’t had in quite a while. is it the beginning of things to come? Mr. Weatherman informed us that a wave coming off the coast of Africa could be a threat for our neck of the woods, unless Saharan dust, or wind shear disrupts it. We have to keep our eyes on that one. May God bless us all. isabel This morning’s RAIN !
|
- June 13 - A “Very Active Season”…? |
|
We had a beautiful start to our day, even with some refreshing sprinkles. And a beautiful end to the day. May God bless us all . Isabel |
- June 11 - An Absolutely Gorgeous Day! |
|
It was not as hot as expected, or perhaps the refreshing breeze every so often made it seem not so hot. Still waiting for some real rain! May God bless us all. Isabel
|
- June 9 - Extreme Heat in the Forecast |
|
It’s really a continuation of what we’ve been having for some time now. It hasn’t rained in our neck of the woods, except for very brief showers that hardly hit the ground. I do foresee that when the rain comes we’ll be begging it to stop, or at least slow down. In the meanwhile we have to deal with the relentless heat! It’s bad, but not as bad as the Northeast where they are plagued by thick smoke. May God bless us all. Isabel Our faithful pelican The end of another hot, but beautiful day. |
- June 7 - Another heat Advisory |
|
Perhaps this unusual heat wave is an omen of a very active hurricane season. With the air this warm that it felt like 100 degrees today, the sea must be warmer each day. Just the perfect fuel. May God bless us all. Isabel Nothing can wilt these flowers. They seem to thrive in very hot temps. A familiar view |
- June 5 - DRY this side of the Caribbean |
|
Lucky at dinner Our water tanks are getting empty, our cistern is getting low. Good thing we have another one. My God bless us all. Isabel
|
- June 4 - My favorite Caribbean Gem |
|
Always beautiful even after a sizzling day. I think it’s going to be a rough hurricane season, but we’ll take it one day at a time. My God bless us all. Isabel |
- June 4 - The Heat is On! |
|
This photo was taken at 5:00 p.m. A very hot afternoon indeed. Hope it’s going to lessen during the next days. No rain in sight. May God bless us all. Isabel (I did not look through the lens.)
|
- June 3 - Is T. S. ARLENE headed our way ? Would be great! We’re having an “excessive heat” alert through Sunday and we can use some refreshing rain even with thunderstorms included! Deer are roaming about looking for water. My daughter just saw a big one |
|
Hope so, we need rain to cool down. There’s an “excessive heat alert” until Sunday. My daughter was concerned about a big deer in the backyard, might be looking for water. It sure is hot, thankfully there’s a breeze. May God bless us bless us all Isabel A
|

Second Depression for the H season? It rained last night, hope it rains again tonight. May God bless us all. Isabel |
