rb didn't you say you were concerned with Maria? Or is she likely a fish storm? I read online that there will be plenty of troughs to kick her out.

Yeah as it stands now it would go right through the middle of the island borderline CAT 4/5 and emerge on the other side north of DR as a strong CAT 4. Leeward Islands are up first. No rest for the weary.
Interestingly enough the now uninhabited Barbuda is under a Tropical Storm Warning.

Maria is clearing out her pinhole eye and undergoing RI. I do not see anything inhibiting Maria within the next 24 hours.....High end Cat 4/ Cat 5 is likely.

Maria now a cat 5, winds 160mph

by jwalsh Mon Sep 18, 2017 7:53 pm

Wow. The Hurricane hunters find 160mph winds in Maria. It's max winds have doubled since 24 hours ago.

by **RJB8525** Mon Sep 18, 2017 7:53 pm

Wow she's growing fast! Big trouble for PR..

Good lord! Cat 5 160mph winds?! when was the last time we had this many majors let alone 2 Cat 5 that threaten same area in a matter on a month. What island is that that she is about to destroy, and PR is screwed this will probably level them.

Big trouble? Thats a understatement, at this rate will be over 200mph on landfall the island will be uninhabitable, the second in a matter of weeks, very sad times this year. FL family is freaking out but I told them it looks like she will not head there but I guess too early to tell.

Yes thank you, Wow will there be a Dominica tomorrow? This season is going down in the history books for sure, all types of records broken. Not to mention at the rate we are going we may surpass 2005 and get into Greek alphabet.

by **jmanley32** Mon Sep 18, 2017 8:26 pm

So is Maria a threat to the US or OTS? I see Euro has a amazing dance between her and a stronger Jose? Whats up with Jose restrengthening? Wouldnt a Fujiwara throw Maria in to the coast?

by **Sanchize06** Mon Sep 18, 2017 8:31 pm

Scary night there, what is their infrastructure like? Will they be able to handle it or will this be another Barbuda?

by **weatherwatchermom** Mon Sep 18, 2017 9:55 pm

Maria made landfall on Dominica around 9:15 I can not imagine what is happening right now...so sad and scary..especially with a cat 5 hitting at night...
