This has been a tropical storm of rain and no wind indeed as you look at those rainfall totals from over 23+inches and downward that are in the link.Those numbers compare with hurricane Hortense and hurricane Georges.Sadly 1 person has died so far at this astronomical rain event.

True.. Maybe the NHC would issue a special advisory on a no name storm lol j/k. It is indeed a TS without the winds

caribepr you questioned about TWC and the lack of reporting what is going on in PR.Well finnally TWC showed tonight what is going on in PR as Jim Cantore showed the rainfall totals list that I posted at the link above and said 24 more hours of this.

It isn't a tropical storm without winds ... but the tropical connection is clearly evident with those rainfall totals ...

The definition of a Tropical Storm - closed circulation with a 1 MIN. maximum sustained wind of 39-73 mph -

Sorry for all the JOe B haters. He was correct again. He goes out on a limb and misses like everyone but when he is correct he pins it to T.

He said possible 20" days ago.

I know the definition of a TS.. I was just adlibbing a little with what Luis said. I know it needs 40 mph winds to be a TS

NO one ever said JB didn't go a good job with the forecasted rains, but b/c of the times, especially this year, JB has had a horrible tropical period this year overall ... Larry into Florida, Henri as a hurricane into Florida, blah, blah, blah ...

But JB really nailed the rainfall amounts for PR, I give him credit where credit is due ... however, I think I beat him to the punch (not with the rainfall forecast) but the overall idea that that area would be under the gun almost a week ahead of time ...

Thanks for the update Cycloneye. Guess we know what we need to make the Weather Channel hit list ;) I was more used to it living in the VI's but sheesh! I wouldn't expect reports on Culerba but PR is BIG!

Woke to no rain, then a light rain that is just now ending. Crossing our fingers and looking for sun. Best to those on the big island and east and south of us..
