Re: Emily- Friends in the E Carib, Please Report Conditions Here
Good morning to all.
The tail of Emily is now affecting PR and VI with bands of heavy rains with some gusty winds. Flooding has been reported in many areas. I will keep all informed during the day.

Here are the latest news concerning Martinica, after Emily 
http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.a ... 121191.php
A storm that hurts
L.H. France-Antilles Martinique03.08.2011
Emily was to reach Guadeloupe and Dominica, but the storm changed its path in the night of Monday to Tuesday. The morning yesterday, Martinique was red vigilance. The heavy rains which are slaughtered on the island caused damage. Some are still visible today.
Traffic was restored on the main roads this morning. Only a few roads still encounter difficulties due to scree on the pavement. In Lorrain, however RD 22 is still blocked by a talus and a tree fell on the pavement. In the day, most of the roads themselves are emptied gradually rain, including the highway impassable for several hours yesterday. However, neighbourhoods still retain traces of the passage of Emily. The centre and South are the most affected areas by accumulations of rain: up to 17 0 mm per hour in some places, namely 17 0 litres per square metre.
Almost all of the firefighters were mobilized to clear congested roads, pruning trees collapsed on the pavement... in all 14 0 interventions recorded Prefecture, mainly Fort-de-France (see pages 4 and 5). It is the municipality which has experienced the most significant damage: downtown Trénelle, Volga and Bô Kannal, water and mud flooded houses. The gull and Morne calabash district, already affected by a landslide last may, the lands again collapsed. 40 Homes were evacuated, most as a preventive measure, the Morne-calabash district, stated yesterday evening the Prefecture. But three were directly hit by Emily. Mud, mounted water, also a rock even came to collapse in a salon in the coves-. Some families have lost everything.
Always moist soils
A gull, a reconnaissance helicopter with the army, a specialist in the Office of mining and geological research and a geotechnical of the city of Fort-de-France should have a better understanding of the phenomenon.
The most affected municipalities should make an application for declaration of a State of natural disaster in the next few days. Analyzed by weather France and the Office of geological and mining research, these requests are then likely, receive a positive outcome of the State.
The weather should not be back until Thursday or Friday, but it there was no new lows announced the immediate did weather France, yesterday evening. The services of the General Council highlighted, them that landslides could still intervene within 48 hours, as the soil moisture. It must therefore be vigilant.
-Electricity, telephone
5,000 customers of EDF are remained private electricity much of Tuesday. Almost all of the network was restored yesterday, but it may remain damage here and there. EDF remains available to the 0810.333.972.
700 persons were also deprived of fixed telephone yesterday, mainly diamond. Subscribers should be restored in the day.

- Hispaniola will get hit
http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/domrep.shtml•By Guillermo Serra <gaquiles at gmail.com>
•Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2011 07:08:08 -0400
Good morning!
It is a beautiful morning over Santo Domingo city, I thought we were going to
take some showers or wind during the night but either that did not happen or I
was deep sleeping. Now I am getting ready to work, but probably will get home
early as I work on a construction.
We will take this day to take all necessary precautions so the site stays safe
and for our neighbors.
People here are in "relative" calmness, as if no storm will make a landfall,
that might change today, we are expecting a hit somewhere in our southwest
coasts tonight, the effects could be felt way earlier.
Rain will be a major issue, some areas are being evacuated, specially those
downriver after some dams.
Some of our public institutions are constantly tweeting with tips and measures
being taking, if you know some Spanish and you are interested, you could read
those tweets, here are three of them:
at COE_RD (Centro de Operaciones de Emergencia)
at ONAMET (Oficina Nacional de Meteorología)
at CDEEE_RD (Corporación Dominicana de Empresas Eléctricas y Estatales)
Last, I have to express my worry about people in Haiti, seems like
Port-Au-Prince will take the full force of this and they have not quite
recovered yet from last year earthquake, is just not fair, not fair for us
either, thank goodness Emily did not reach Cat-1 status.
Stay tuned...

Re: Emily- Friends in the E Carib, Please Report Conditions Here
Eastern PR has been the area most affected so far as you can see on this loop of precipitation. I am posting the advisories at the Caribbean - Central America thread.

- Emily update •By Guillermo Serra <gaquiles at gmail.com>

http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/domrep.shtml
Hello everybody.
Conditions here are deteriorating as we enter the afternoon, we have had some showers with light gusts and then relative calms, as outer bands of Emily reach us. So far, non destructive wind gusts in the area where I'm moving. It seems like the meteor will make landfall on Independencia province, on the most southwestern part of our Homeland, and then it will quickly make its way towards Haiti.
Of course that doesn't mean the east part of our country will be exempt to the elements, I mean, looking at the satellites, I can see a healthy compact storm, so rain will be the main issue here.
I am attaching a picture of some trees during one of the gusts we are getting, is not as bad as it looks either, for now, I guess, is next to our construction site, Santo Domingo Norte.
Stay tuned...

The storm Emily will hit maximum Dominican Republic and Haiti, warning
http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.a ... 133498.php
AFP03.08.2011
The storm tropical Emily, accompanied by heavy rain, was expected Wednesday evening in Dominican Republic and Haiti, where the authorities were preparing to evacuate tens of thousands of people living in tents since the January 2010 earthquake. -(AFP/Noaa)
The storm tropical Emily, accompanied by heavy rain, was expected Wednesday evening in Dominican Republic and Haiti, where the authorities were preparing to evacuate tens of thousands of people living in tents since the January 2010 earthquake.
In Haiti, emergency operations Centre national said stand ready to assist, where appropriate, to approximately 300,000 people, and more than 1,200 shelters have been made available to accommodate the displaced.
The authorities fear that pop-up floods create havoc in the makeshift camps installed in Port - au-Prince since the earthquake, where there are thousands of families in precarious conditions.
If the storm unleashed on the Haitian capital, emergency services may quickly find themselves overwhelmed.
"There is room for 30,000 people" at Port - in Port-au-Prince and the surrounding area, "it is largely insufficient," explained a close person of Civil Protection, speaking under cover of anonymity.
According to this source, schools, churches and other public buildings have been requisitioned, but lack most of the time of sanitary facilities.
"Several camps at risk will require an evacuation", but it will be decided that at the last moment, i.e. when the storm arrives, to be organized according to its severity, has added this source.
Another reason for concern: floods may lead to an outbreak of cholera epidemic, which made 5.821 dead since it first appeared last October, the water being one of the main vectors of the disease. A team of Cuban doctors stood ready to intervene if necessary.
21 H 00 GMT, Emily was 95 km to the South-South-West of the Beata island at the southern tip of the Dominican Republic and progressed to the West at a speed of 22 kmh, with winds blowing at 85 kmh, said the national Centre of us hurricanes (NHC), based in Miami.
At this pace, the storm had to touch the island of Hispaniola, shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic, to the "end of day", before continuing its path towards the Bahamas and the Islands-and-Caicos, Thursday, according to the NHC.
"At the present time, the storm should do feel its effects on certain parts of the Dominican Republic, mainly on the South coast," explains the NHC in its release.
Emily could lead to 15-30 cm of precipitation, floods and dangerous mudslides in Haiti and Dominican Republic, have warned us experts.
The Haitian authorities have decreed Tuesday morning warning red on the whole of the territory and called the inhabitants to leave areas at risk.
The national center of meteorology and marine and navigation of Haiti Service banned the navigation along the South coast of the country.
"All departments of Haiti are affected by the storm tropical Emily", said the Director of the Centre, Ronald Semelfort.
The Dominican Republic on the other hand was placed in maximum cyclonic alert (red alert) Tuesday in six provinces and in a State of preventive vigilance in seven other regions.
The Dominican authorities have also suspended recreation on all the coasts and rivers of the country.
Emily made a victim by electrocution Tuesday on the island of Martinique. Firefighters found a 62 year man lying in the water, an extension cord in hand, at his home in the popular district Volga of Fort-de-France, which is flooded.

The storm appears to be drawing in deep moisture from near South America over the ABC islands. Intense lightning with gusty winds occurring right now here in Curacao.

from stormcarib.org this morning fromthe Dominican Republic -
Samaná was lucky
•By Mountainfrog
•Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2011 07:39:58 -0400
Good morning,
We had rain on and off during the night and a gusty wind
(up to 30 knots) from the SSE on our hillside location.
This morning now we still have some occasional gusts but the sky
is broken with blue spots and we hope to see the sun later in the day.
Looking at the satellite pictures we suppose there is much more wind and
rain in the SW and we consider ourselves very lucky that Emily
did not strengthen and thus take the usual NWern path.
Greetings from Samaná
