Hurricane Earl: Puerto Rico, 30 Aug 2010 - PART I

English:

First part of my documentation of hurricane Earl as it moved just northeast of Puerto Rico a as a strengthening category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 135mph. Earl brought sustained tropical storm conditions to the NE coast of the island were i was located. Sustained TS intensity winds were also felt in Culebra, Vieques and higher elevations facing north in Puerto Rico with gusts of tropical storm force elsewhere in the island.

In this part of the video you'll see scenes of the first outer bands of the hurricane as they moved across eastern Puerto Rico bringing tropical storm force winds. Also in Luquillo the waves were starting to build higher as the storm approached the area. The video finishes in Fajardo were the winds were sustaining at tropical storm intensity at times with higher gusts at around 1:20pm. The next part of this hurricane Earl documentation in HIGH DEFINITION will be released soon...

Español:

Primera parte de mi documentación del paso del huracán Earl justo al noreste de Puerto Rico como huracán de categoría 4 con vientos máximos sostenidos de 135mph. Earl dejó vientos sostenidos de intensidad de tormenta tropical en el extremo noreste de la isla, donde yo me encontraba localizado. Condiciones sostenidas de intensidad de tormenta tropical también fueron experimentadas en Culebra, Vieques y en las elevaciones más altas de la Cordillera Central mirando hacia el norte principalmente. Ráfagas de fuerza de tormenta tropical se sintieron en casi el resto del país en asociación al paso alrededor de 80 millas al noreste de este poderoso ciclón tropical.

En esta primera parte de mi documentación del paso de Earl se verán las primeras bandas externas afectando a la mitad este de Puerto Rico durante la mañana del 30 de agosto, estas bandas llegaron a traer vientos de fuerza de tormenta tropical al menos en ráfagas. Luego se verá el oleaje en aumento en la costa de Luquillo a medida que el entonces huracán de categoria 3 intensificándose se acercaba a la zona, el video termina en Fajardo donde vientos sostenidos de tormenta tropical afectan a la costa inmediata. Este video acaba aproximadamente a las 1:20pm del 30 de agosto, la próxima parte incluirá la documentación después de ésta hora donde se sintieron algunos de los efectos mas directos que trajo el huracán a la región. También tendrán la oportunidad de ver éste y el resto de la documentación de Earl en Alta Definición 1080p...

WOW... absolutely amazing quality, Jose!!! Shooting tripoded footage in HD makes all the difference...it feels like I'm right there. The editing and transitions between scenes are really smooth too... overall a very professional and polished clip. And, those waves between 5:30 - 6:30 looked awesome... I can just imagine what it would have looked like if Earl had gone right over the island!

@huracanado1 Glad you liked my NYC footage! And yes, hopefully the season isn't quite over just yet. All though, if a good storm could wait until after Oct 15th, I'd be much appreciative, lol. I'll be in London on vacation with my family from the 7th - 14th, lol
