cltnccruisers Posted September 7, 2017 #101 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Found some videos of San Juan this morning and it looks like the city is dealing mostly with downed poser lines and trees. In the drive throughs at least there doesn't appear to be too much structural damage. Outside the city is probably a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
untailored bostonian Posted September 7, 2017 #102 Share Posted September 7, 2017 What is the chance that the Miami, Ft Lauderdale cruise piers will be damaged by Irma? Unless there are ships that break away from mornings and are driven in to piers, they should be just fine. The Terminal buildings are another matter. They may be damaged by the surge or the winds. There should be gust over 150mph, maybe even over 200mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Dance Mom Posted September 7, 2017 #103 Share Posted September 7, 2017 RCL is using Enchantment as an evacuation shelter for their Miami head office staff and their families.

untailored bostonian Posted September 7, 2017 #104 Share Posted September 7, 2017 [...]Using the sidewalk posts as a reference, the water level on Front St in the videos I saw was just under 3 feet. Certainly enough to flood the first floors of businesses. Other videos showed missing roofs, smashed vehicles - one showed a jeep with the hood peeled back like a banana. I can't imagine having to hunker down through that. If the waters were 3' when this post storm picture was taken, as the eye passed I would expect 12'+ as the surge. I wonder how the cruise terminal infrastructure survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

untailored bostonian Posted September 7, 2017 #108 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Do you think Jose will cause problems for cruises leaving Miami on 9/16? We would be flying in late on 9/13 if things are looking OK. Current models keep Jose well out to sea. If you fly into Miami on the 13th for a cruise on thew 16th you might need to check you hotel reservation. If the building suffers damage it might not reopen for weeks.

tiger belle Posted September 7, 2017 #111 Share Posted September 7, 2017 of primary concern of course is for the survival and safety of the islands' residents...secondarily, is the livelihood of the residents since I know tourism is the lifeblood for many of these islands..of lesser importance--but still reality--is the effect on cruise ship itineraries...from what I've seen and heard about st thomas sadly I am doubtful october cruises will be able to port there...I think the same for st maarten...it seems like nassau is in much better shape...what about torto la? does anyone know how much damage occurred there? any feedback is appreciated...again, my prayers and heart are with the people of these islands...other discussion is just a distraction to me from the worry and stress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how the cruise terminal infrastructure survived. That makes sense since the water was moving at a pretty good clip. Receeding given that the storm had passed.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums It will be Tuesday or Wednesday before Jose is near/hitting Bermuda. It is too early to tell its path, speed, strength, etc so how would you expect NCL to have made a decision yet? If they have to alter your route, the sailing could easily go south just as well as north - both routes should be far away from Jose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanBill Posted September 7, 2017 Author #120 Share Posted September 7, 2017 5pm NHC update has no good news. Two landfalls at major hurrican strength. Impact looks as big as Harvey in population- anyone seen an estimate of evacuations and population affected? Probably bigger. 7 or more cities close to center. Jose will make recovery miserable for a day in the leewards and then taking aim at Bermuda. Pictures and reports are terrible from St. Maarten/Martin, Barbuda, BVI and USVI. Sad.

MikeBTN Posted September 8, 2017 #125 Share Posted September 8, 2017 8PM Update. Wow, this is turning into the worst case scenario by missing Dominica and Cuba. This is going to be one terrible disaster for the South East US. Anyone in Florida should get out immediately. Hotels are basically sold out here in Nashville already for this weekend (93% booked according to Hotels.com!) because of people headed north. Be safe all!
