Well, Captain Jose, there's no need to belittle people for asking an opinion of what the weather might be from folks that live on Culebra.

It is a wise traveler that asks such "stupid questions". The wise traveler will also study all the predictions that the meteorologists and computer models are making and THEN make their own conclusion.

Of course you are correct that it is impossible to predict the weather with 100% accuracy but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't seek out the opinions of those who may be more knowledgeable.

Tell me Captain, do you even bother to look at the forecast before you take your boat out of the harbor. If not then I don't think I'd want to be one of your passengers.

To those who DO want to have places to go to get some answers to your "stupid questions" about the weather, here are a couple of my favorite hurricane sites:

And for reports from island residents (including Culebra):
