Hurricane Maria

Could anyone with firsthand knowledge of conditions after Maria passes, please keep us updated. The weather reports here only refer to San Juan area and the Virgin Islands. Hoping that Maria spares this tiny paradise.

Following this thread. I am also curious about Vieques as it looks like the eye went right over the island. I hope everyone is safe!

We are hoping that everyone that we know in Culebra is safe.

Has anyone heard from anyone on Culebra? It looks like they took a 140mph gusts from the East. Anyone know if the generators or airport got swamped from the sea surge? I was there for Irma and you have to go to the water tower for a signal or Tamarindo.

According to the trajectory, they were spared the worst, but due to power outage on main island, no news ..

Enjoy Culebra!

I got a few texts from folks on Culebra. Sounds like most houses were spared with a little damage to some. Some texts are getting out out at Zoni. Most vegetation has been blown away.

I received a cell phone call from Zoni yesterday so I think cellular service is working on St Thomas.

My brother went down after Irma to check on his boat, and now is stuck there. Does anyone know of a way off the island? Is the ferry running? If it is, are the roads clear to get from Fajardo to SJU airport? He is going to the other side of the island and borrowing peoples phones that have AT&T. Is there a way to get from Culebra to St. Thomas?

@Jean diskin
Are you in touch with your brother? Do you know what it's like on the island? Do they have power or water?

The generator has been running daily from 6pm to 6 am supplying power to folks in town. no power out Zoni way. Desalt plant running supplying water. Sounds like they are also receiving fuel deliveries on the ferry. I think ferry is running twice a day. Not sure if SJU airport is operational. Culebra sounds better off than PR as many folks are coming over from PR to live with relatives on Culebra.

@Elle
I am only in touch with him through my sister in law, so haven't talked to him directly. We want to know if any airline is flying into SJU, or if the ferry is running to Farjardo? We are trying to get him off this week because he is running out of medication.

The ferry is running twice a day. Not sure if it has a schedule so he would have to go to the dock and ask. not sure if Flamenco or VAL are flying out of Culebra.
