I went there one time and the air was dry like a desert but I think it just depends on the time of year. But I was surprised it didn't feel tropical.

Wow, obviously the fix from Maria was all patchwork. Puerto Rico deserves better! Keep the island in my prayers.

Seems like a much more direct hit on the DR than maybe they were thinking....

Unfortunately, Fiona Missed the worst of the shredder. She did pass over some terrain, but it's all under 2,000ft. The higher terrain is the central chain with peaks well into 6,000 - 7,000 ft range with a few above 8,000ft.
Looks to be concluding her trip to the DR, and will be back over open water before too much longer.

She cleared that eye out really fast. She might go through some RI and end up cat 4 territory

I don't doubt it. Healthy convection blowing up on the northern eyewall now and colder wrapping around the south end too.

Looks like her moisture transport from the south is being disrupted by Hispanola. Probably why we didn't see much intensification over night. Once she moves a little further away and crank up that fetch she should be able to intensify a lot better.

Hard to believe anything survives that, I always feel bad for the wild life during these storms.
