Dodged another one - so far

It's been another interesting week.

We've managed to dodge another storm. This one didn't have a name, it was just a "little" tropical disturbance. It formed due south of the island and the forecast models predicted it would go right over the island with moderate winds but a lot of rain. The storm in fact moved west. Right now it's over the ocean between PR and the Dominican Republic, in the Mona Passage.

We were SO incredibley lucky! The south and eastern part of the island got up to 25 inches of rain in one day in some areas. It's been cloudy here all week and we've had some rain but only a couple of inches all together. WHEW! We're not out of the water yet. Looking at the satellite photos, we're still well with in range even though the center of the storm appears to have passed us by. The forecast is for thunderstorms through the middle of the week.

So far, it's missed us. Let's hope it stays away!
