We did not get as much build up for the Hurricane because on the same day there was the 7.2 magnitude earthquake outside of Mexico City. The cable has been out since around 8:30 a.m. which is not a big deal. It is still rainy and windy and the Flash Flood warning lasts until 3 p.m. The guy across the street had one of his dormers blown away exposing his second floor to the elements. He is trying to get his propane generator on to begin repairs. The hotel evacuated our floor except for our room because the wind and rain flooded one of the other rooms with a terrace. That also knocked out the air conditioner on our floor. Our room is also flooded but that is a minor annoyance compared to everyone else in this country. For some reason, the National Hurricane Center is way behind in updating their website. I think that they were having issues because Maria went over the mountains and they could not get a good reading on wind speed.
Hard to get coffee and food because the staff were dealing with more important things. I am just so thankful that we have power and Internet, which most of the people in Puerto Rico do not have. Things seemed to be better prepared because they had just got stocked up from Irma. It was really rough this last night and most of the morning. But the worst seems to have passed us.
