I can relate to that, Barbara.

Some years ago, we had a similar experience in Barbados. TS Iris was pretty far northwest of us and we thought everything was fine until suddenly, without warning a fierce south-westerly wind accompanied by heavy rain and loud peals of thunder came a calling. I think it only lasted about 20 minutes, then everything returned to normal. Very strange experience.

it was the same here. now it is calm. no wind. light rain. but what a fierce squall. We got 1.5 inches of rain in less than an hour and had wind gusts up to 40 MPH.
and Emily is over 300 miles away.
amazing!

I don't think it's over yet. Just a little respite. The lagoon was FIERCE !! And the winds?
Does it seems as Emily is tracking a bit north now?
Oh yeah, Luis, it should be by you now !!
Getting off again,
