What are the chances that TS Rina will blow out out diving later this week or worse harm that precious island. I am scheduled to be there From Tuesday to Sunday and am worried not only about the diving but the Island in general - I know that things can change but looks like all models are headed for Coz

Hi Chris,

I suspect la isla won't suffer more that some flooding and minor wind damage, but I think the chances are quite high that the port will be closed to diving over the weekend and perhaps then some. This is not to mention flight disruptions.

Best of luck.

Regards,

For once a Norte looks like a good alternative.

As far as harm us - A tropical storm or category 1 will bring us some wind and alot of rain, but we will be safe and we've survived MUCH worse. It's still very possible that it will come it south of us by Chetumal - actually where several models are still predicting.

As far as diving being cancelled - if the storm stays on this track, I would bet that Friday and likely Thursday will be blown out, but once the storm moves out the port will open back up again quickly - as soon as the next day.

Let's all pray that it fizzles out!

Might not do much to the island but if I were a tourist I would not want to be there. At some point flights will be canceled and not started again for days and tourists will be stuck there. Also you may want to check this:

I see lots of red letters........

Flights may be cancelled the day of the storm, but will resume as soon as the storm passes. This isn't going to be another Wilma.

Even after Emily, which was a Cat 4 - flights resumed the next day

Also, if this northerner that is coming through TX mid-week makes it this far, it will keep it pushed down.

We definitely need to keep our eyes on it, but it is still very possible that it will stay south of us.

When exactly are you getting to the bad part....?

I'm really hoping our new Hurricane Screens are not put to their first test.....our property mgr. has them ready to deploy, however, if Rina doesn't turn inland.
