A lot of pics / videos on that Twitter page, looks bad. Rainfall rates between 5 to 7 inches per hour.

Yeah... this is why that big green band on the funktop loop last night concerned me so much.

Pretty out of date. That's the eye making landfall.

It's moved back out over sea on the north of the island now.

Interesting that he compares it to Hurricane Charley which has to be one of the best videos I have ever seen of being inside a Cat 5.

"Hey there. We're looking for the eye of a hurricane. We've heard it's in this area somewhere but we can't quite seem to find it. Don't suppose anybody could give us some directions, could they?"

Reports now that 100% of Puerta Rico is without power. There's going to be a hell of a mess to clear up.

I think the eye might be getting ready to reform, and convection is starting to pick back up on the east side now that it's cleared land.

DAMN!

So, this was recorded just about 75 mins ago. Maria took a genuinely massive battering over PR... albeit not as much of a battering as she gave PR.

The eye is there though... she just needs to re-group and clear it out.

HDObs are showing a recorded 104mph max 10 sec wind on the way out to the NE of center. That's still a pretty solid wind, but it's about 55mph less than before she made landfall.

Just goes to show - making landfall during/just after an ERC is not good for a hurricanes health!  It's really great for the population on the ground though!

The ocean is going to get a whole lot warmer for re-intensification now and going back to the rain comment earlier and PR, the mountain range being right through the spine of the country would essentially have acted as one giant waterfall allowing mud, rain water and debris to flow down both sides of the island taking whatever else with it into the populated areas.

Interesting how hard Maria got shredded by landfall but the potential is still there to re-intensify but the ultimate question now is is Maria going to spend the rest of her days as a fish storm?

Very strong convection showing again.

It's not so bad now, the hottest waters waters were to the south of Puerto Rico. There's still some quite hot waters ahead for Maria, but it depends how far west she tracks.

We have to see now how the influence of Jose pans out - if at all, will Jose fizzle out and allow Maria to track further west or will the models be bang on with the track following Jose up the eastern seaboard.

Saying that the story isn't that dramatic, just the headline.

The eye of Maria had actually reformed almost immediately on leaving the island. What she needed to do was to strengthen that closed eye and clear it out... What she's actually done is formed an outer eyewall at 36 miles, with the inner 16 mile eyewall now open southwest. Instead of clearing her eye, she started a new ERC.

Consequently, far from being the Cat 4 we expected, or even the Cat 3 we might have thought... she's now only Category 2. I mentioned earlier that PR really gave her a good bashing, and it would appear that it did indeed do so. Pressure is still hovering at just below 960, but as soon as that ERC makes a little progress, I would expect it to begin dropping again - but unless she forms another pinhole eye (and I don't see why she would), then I wouldn't expect the pressure to exactly bomb. I mean, it might, but I'm not expecting it... she has far too much re-organising to do... though as with ERCs more generally, she's liable to become a wider storm.

The image below shows it all really - she's got a massive hole in her, and it isn't the central eye. For every mb she could be dropping, she's leaking out just as much pressure. It'll be, at my best guess, 3 to 4 hours or so minimum before she stands even a chance of making progress in terms of any meaningful re- intensification.

In the Dvorak image below you can see that she's just starting to pull around that black band of thicker cloud/colder tops as she repairs her CDO, making it more central and even than, well, entirely lopsided as per the beginning of the loop. Maria has plenty of work to do, but she's getting there.

She's really struggling to hold together. Looking really lopsided, seems to be plenty of heat input from the south, but with the land interaction and less heat coming from the North it doesn't want to form up. Pressure is still around 960.
