Coopdog Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Just now, CoastalWx said: Maybe it depends on the site? I have it on Weather.cod Real life perspective for people of Dominica. I will use fla as example, understanding it will never likely happen. 27 hrs ago Maria was a TS, people in fla would brush it off. now 27-30 hrs later you have a cat 5 barreling down on you that is full speed ahead vs a slowing cat 5 when it hits lands. this would create mass chaos in fla. Imagine how many people would be unable to evacuate. in Dominica that is what happened today with much less supplies, support . This is going to be catastrophic and just as bad as st Maarten if not worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Much larger eyewall forming. Looks like air is traveling around the island to avoid the terrain. This eye may try to contract when it gets to the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowLover22 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Omg I can't believe I am hearing this. Someone said on the radio station to open the window because of the pressure difference. I'm thinking to myself whatever you do do not open the window! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbutts Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 This has to be about worst case winds for Dominica with the eye appearing to hit directly through the most populated areas. I imagine that waves/surge and freshwater flooding will all also be pretty dire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have underwater fiber. It makes a huge difference versus suspended lines like across the CONUS. As long as they don't get severed underwater.
