The Outcome of Invest 93 on the South Coast of Puerto Rico

22 September 2008 | Salinas Puerto Rico
Capt Chris, rain and lots of it
Below is a blurb I pulled off one of the weather sites I blanket.

"Tropical disturbance 93L continues to dump torrential rains of up to four inches per hour on Puerto Rico. Storm total rainfall amounts have exceeded 20 to 30 inches in parts of southeast Puerto Rico where rivers are up to 14 feet above flood stage. Flash floods and mudslides have been reported across the east, southeast, and southeastern interior Puerto Rico. An additional 10-20 inches of rain is expected over western and southwestern Puerto Rico today, due to the very slow motion of 93L. The rains from 93L are the most that have fallen on the island since Hurricane Georges ten years ago (see below)."

That pretty much sums up the current state of affairs aboard Christa. I was supposed to drive to the west coast today, but the Playa where I am is flooded and not passable. Maybe tomorrow?
