I just heard reported on TWC that they have had reports of 12-16 inches of rain from PR. I bet the Virgin Islandss have had that much too

The rain hasn't stopped for what seems like a long time now. It was clearing up and then started again with thunderstorms a bit ago, but that seems to be moving off, with the rain continuing. Here on Culebra we have some flooding, some slight damage, but it's not as bad as the effect of the rain on the big island and I hope people just stay inside until it's over. We're all incredibly fortunate, regardless, in comparison to what is happening now with Ivan and what Charley and Frances have left behind :(

Unbelievable but (judging from the IR satellite) that rain is actually getting more intense!

When will it end???
