"H" Maria

[Dana Jean]

Positive vibes and strong protections!

To put this in perspective, the last Category 5 hurricane to hit PR directly was in 1928. Since then, the island has had several close calls but nothing like Maria. As they say on the West Side of the Windy City, "It's gonna be a corker."

Spoiler

I'm well aware of who Maria is, because that's my wife's name. And is she going to get a ribbing after this is over.

I just saw there's been another earthquake in Mexico.

Dang.

H Maria slammed Puerta Rico -- have we heard from Pruf?

Last on MB around 8PM eastern yesterday. Pray he is safe.

Hurricane Maria hammers Puerto Rico with force not seen in ‘modern history’


This is very scary.

prufrock21 -- check in as soon as you can.

Do we know if Pruf was evacuating to a center or was he staying put in his own home. Photos he shares appear to me that his home is up on a hill, good for flooding purposes but didn't look so good for these high winds.

Believe he stayed for Irma, but did not see a post about plans for Maria.

I just read that the entire island of Puerto Rico is without power. It will probably be a while before we hear anything from prufrock21.

 

[Grannie CeeCee]

prayers!!

 

[FlakeNoir]

Please be safe. . xox

 

[Jojo87]

Prayers being said for all in path of Maria.

Horrible with the earthquake in Mexico also.

Sending out some more positive vibes for prufrock21 and the others on the island. The situation is horrible in Puerto Rico.

Grave concerns for all. She is still an "H" with winds at 80mph.

I seem to be quite safe from all of these hurricanes, and they actually bring such an enjoyable rain to these lands.

However, I am so tired of having so many people suffer and die. No amount of nice weather here is worth so much destruction somewhere else...

I wish the weather would calm down already and go back to what my mind can only call "normal" (although I know that is not the right word).

Where are you again, César? If you care to share that.

Is your city in an earthquake prone area? I looked on a map and see you are North of Mexico City.

Aguascalientes (I have no problem sharing that; it's even in my profile). It is at the center of Mexico, although somewhat to the West (6 hours by bus) from Mexico City, so far away from any earthquake.

Unlike my hometown in Torreon, which is a desert and gets really hot summers, Aguascalientes gets cooler summers because of the rain. And this year we are getting quite a few great ones (for me, who loves them).

But since they are most likely part of these hurricanes, I can do without them, as long as other people will be safe.

No, as I was typing just as you posted this, I am away from them.

Be safe and may you see normal weather soon. This has been a disastrous year weather-wise.
