Rare MicCanberra Posted September 2, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2017 A shame for the passengers, but it would be for the best for all concerned to avoid the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted September 2, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I've been watching this develop on earth.nullschool.net and it's heading from the Cape Verde islands west of Africa, across to the Caribbean/Florida. It seems to be moving slowly, but I'm sure the cruise lines are studying it carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted September 2, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Yeah looks as if it is getting quite large though so may be causing issues with wind and rain much further around the islands than first expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted September 3, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2017 That's what I feared when I looked tonight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted September 3, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 3, 2017 It has strengthened to a Cat 3 Hurricane and is still moving (although slowly) towards the islands, it is expected to be mid week before any major issues will occur apart from swell, wind and rain.

Rare MicCanberra Posted September 5, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Now it is a Category 5 Hurricane bearing down on Puerto Rico and the surrounding islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted September 5, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I looked at webcams for some islands, and one said it was switched off until after the hurricane. It's very scary for the islands, waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted September 5, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Yeah, Antigua is in line to be hit hard as well. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at1+shtml/085048.shtml?cone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
