I just came back from Culebra on 9/23/04 after getting run over by Hurricane Jeanne. Before the trip I was keeping a close eye on the weather and the only storm in sight was Ivan. At the time Ivan was no longer a risk to Puerto Rico so I felt glad that nothing else was in the radars. We traveled happily thinking that we were going to have nothing but good weather and just as we arrived (9/14/04) Tropical storm Jeanne popped out of nowhere. We barely had time to make it from Fajardo to Culebra. Later that night, the storm made its way through Puerto Rico. We were in for 2 days of straigh heavy rains. Puerto Rico lost electricity and water all over. The outages affected the island for the next 5 days until some sense of normality was re-established. If there is anything I learned from this experience is that storms are completely random and unpredictable no matter what the hurricane center says. Travel at your own risk. This has been a realy busy hurricane season and there is really no way to tell if it is going to let up anytime soon.
