Well, they are predicting that it will turn back into the Atlantic, so keep your fingers crossed!

Actually, at this point, they really have no idea where this storm will track or how strong it will be - it's WAY too early to have any meaningful forecast.

Just keep an eye on it as it develops and think about acting when it gets within a reasonable forecasting window. Hopefully, anyone travelling to the Caribbean at this time of year purchased trip insurance as this is pretty much smack in the middle of the peak hurricane season.

Looks like they are getting rain from the outer ring of Irma. Watching Jose now.

Arrived this afternoon. Quite windy and cloudy. 3-4 foot waves on SMB. Light rain now mid evening. Guess I'm going to have to do the sightseeing thing for the next couple of days.

We have friends who live there - 7MB, West Bay, NW and North were all rough today. However, East End is fine and they are diving with Ocean Frontiers tomorrow. Head out there if you want to dive in the next few days!
