Very strange: no winds and no stars on the sky!

I've looking for the last Jose tracks and it seams that he will be near
Martinique in a few
hours.
So I'm waiting but in the dark it's more difficult to see anything !

May be later...

My first report here and may be not the last....

A few winds, not much. But I'm sure it's not Jose... Who know ? I'm
scared and I enjoy that I will see for the first time a hurricane!

sorry for my english! Next report in French !

- first tropical wave in martinica
  • From: "Robinson" <cabinetbruch AT sasi.fr>
  • Date: Sun, 6 Jun 1999 08:56:40 -0400

so, first tropical wave reached martinica coast yesterday afternoon... a
good and fresh news for the agriculture, in particular for the south part of
the island, touched by a severe dryness (the geatest since 50 years). the
rain was folling during all the afternoon and stopped late in night.

To note some accidents on the traffic, caused by  the slipperies roads wich
was not washed sonce several weeks...

sunday morning, the sunshine is back, but the vegetation does not look like
the day before, with a new color of leaves and a different sing of birds....
