Hopefully their findings are unabashedly embellished by the media.

Heard a little while ago that one of my friends checked in as safe.
Look up News of St John Facebook. People are checking in there. Hope yours are safe. No word from Coral Bay other than the roads are blocked and it is feared that its destroyed.

how high would the winds have to be at 500 feet to get to 200 at the ground?
There is usually a 10% reduction from flight level winds to surface winds, so 225 mph winds aloft to get to 200 mph winds on the ground. That 10% is just a rough estimate though.

Nothing yet on the fate of the Willie T. No one really lives on Norman Island so it might be some time until we know.

St. John is a US territory. I'm talking about the shitty islands that are nothing outside of the resorts.
Every Caribbean island I have been to has been basically poverty outside the beach resorts. Where there are still a nice number of vacation homes, most of the inhabitants live at or way below what we here in the US would consider the poverty level.
I really do feel bad for these people, for they really have nothing left now, once so much is destroyed.

Looks like that eye wall replacement is wrapping up.
Posted on 9/6/17 at 9:37 pm to rds dc
What's up with that eyewall?
Do they typically get weaker or stronger when the eye walls merge like that?

Puerto Rico dodged a fricking bullet.

You need to hit some more islands. Quite a few are affluent. The British islands in particular have a high standard of living.

Family was on Cruz Bay, any chance yours were in the same area?

Wow...you can see the NW turn on that one.
Posted on 9/6/17 at 9:39 pm to someLSUdoosh
Yep. My people are all around Cruz Bay.
Sent word out to friends on Jost but nothing. I think they're probably safe and that the island is dark with no service of any kind. At least I hope that's what it is.

Tower cranes are pretty robust and can handle a lot of wind. They'll sway around a bit but are hard to take down.
The crawler cranes are another story.

Yeah it sounds that way from this article.

At the Bristol, an ultra-luxury project on South Flagler Drive, crews lowered their two cranes 22 feet, from the 17th floor to near the 14th and bolted the vertical part to the building. “It’s the part that runs horizontal and spins around, that’s the risk we have,” Adelson said.
“The experts tell us it’s good to 150 miles per hour. We think we have done everything humanly possible, everything the experts told us to do.”
Adelson and his construction manager plan to ride out the storm in a hotel near the site. “This is our baby, so we’re trying to watch it as closely as we can,” he said.

The building is scheduled for completion in December 2018 and at this point stands 17 stories tall. It’s glass skin has been installed up to the 9th or 10th floor, Adelson said.
“What you do is, you tie everything down that’s in the building already — all the supplies and everything, so there’s nothing that can blow away. Then we have some floors that are open and we hope the wind goes through them, with no problem. Then we have the floors that have hurricane glass.”
Though they look precarious, cranes can handle a storm, said Robert Brown, West Palm Beach building official.

Yeah that gif looks better in terms of direction. Definitely see northerly component a whole lot more.
