T Bill 649 Posted September 19, 2017 Early reports say no threat to US mainland but Jose battered shorelines to get another hit. Caribbean not so lucky. One Euro model show Jose and Maria doing a dance off coast before it ends. Mariachi requests anyone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GramGun79 226 Posted September 20, 2017 Maria's track seems very similar to Irene's track in 2011.. Irene was only a cat 1 when passing Puerto Rico. Weather channel said they can not rule out an east coast land fall at this point in time. Something to think about.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Federal government is the source for about 25% of Puerto Rico's budget as it is. They really don't want to become a state. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
