By the way, not all the Cuban radars are in service all the time.

Nonetheless, 92L looks really good on the radar image, I mean, Ivan looks really good.

Thanks, Sandy, for mentioning that. That completely slipped my mind. Yes, most of the eastern radars are down. Pico San Juan is the further east radar available at this time. It is located about 150mi SE of Havana.

I don't know why, but right now of the 7 radars, 4 are down, I guess it's because that's Cuba!

I thought I read the reason some where... if I'm not mistaken, it's because the radars are pretty old. (Nothing like WSD-88D here in the states) There are very few companies worldwide that make replacement parts on their particular model of radar and the cost is pretty high. Of course, I'm sure radar replacement isn't too high on President Castro's priority list.

All kidding aside and I'm certainly not trying to slam on Cubans or anything... But we are so fortunate to live in the US, Puerto Rico, Canada. etc... Where we can have forums like this and are allowed to exercise our freedom of speech and freedom of information. Just imagine what it is like for Cubans this time of year.. for the most part most of them are probably kept in the dark that a system is brewing in the Caribbean until the winds start picking up!!! Their government controls so much of the information they are allowed to view and then when they are struck by castastrope they are left to fend for themselves with very little government assistance.... I'm proud to live in a free country and little things like this remind me of just how lucky I'am....

The image I had posted was MUCH less ominous, but old nonetheless.

Actually, the Cuban authorities take disaster preparedness quite seriously and do indeed warn their citizens well in advance of any threatening storms. And mandatory evacuations are truly mandatory!

Having said that, I would still prefer to live here than there. Freedom is priceless.

Jose Rubiera is one of Cuba's best meteorologist and when a storm is menacing Cuba he is on TV doing reports every couple of minutes, by the way, they receive all the information from the National Hurricane Center and Lixion Avila knows very well Rubiera.
