Hi NN,

Not sure if you’ve seen the loop animation at the bottom of this page. Maybe it’s just me, but around the time I asked you about the location of the eye just before my cell phone signal died, I remarked that the winds in San Juan, my location, had died down a little bit. In the video loop, around the same time, “just after” the storm hits the island and starts interacting with the mountainous terrain, a big “hole” in the “clouds” appear over most of the San Juan area, and it wasn’t the eye per se. Probably just brief protection of the city by the high mountains? I don’t think there were any winds over 100 MPH recorded in San Juan. Just an observation.

Very good to hear from you. I recall that morning and typing feverishly to relay the updates, none of which were good news at the time. Interesting theory about the momentary quiet winds. Landfall is notorious for spawning tornadoes too.

How is the electrical power grid coming along?
