First person report - Monday - (posted on stormcarib.com)

Hola
We have been under Noel`s influence for the last 24 hrs. Lots of rain, gusty wind, rather strong at times, some 40-50 kts. with the usual havoc on public services.....Public electricity was suspended sometime this early morning and we were on generator until midmornig when something went wrong and PUF, darkness, nothing worked, no elevator, (we are on a 7th floor) no computer, no internet, back to the dark ages......
Finally the services people came and fixed the generator, thank God!!!Just got my internet service working.

There are reports of flooding inland, washed up (or down) bridges, etc, but since we had no power cant tell how bad is the situation.
Will report when I get reliable info.

It is 3:45 pm and by the looks of the "tail" of the blob will have rain until sometime tomorow. The airport at Punta Caucedo is open, one of my sons just got in from Miami. Safe and sound. Thank God for that.
Keep safe and dry
