The community is witnessing heroic rescue efforts, with fire and rescue teams working tirelessly to assist those in need.

An hour after I posted that I got a text to say the trip *might* be cancelled. My coworker is from there and flew down yesterday. I'm scheduled to fly out early tomorrow.

Earlier this afternoon it was showing a less aggressive intensification forecast.

The trip was canceled on Saturday night. My colleague is now stuck in Puerto Rico to ride out the hurricane -- it's now Cat 5. Not good.

I really feel for those in Maria's path so soon after Irma and Jose, and I can only hope this one misses Florida, which it is forecast to do at the moment. :eek:

I rode out a small one when I was stationed at Roosevelt Roads. Our barracks was cut off by high water for two days. No power, no running water. Much fun.

Thanks to Maria, Puerto Rico is back in the dark ages, literally.
