I got up sometime after 6 am to a nice calm day and to the south I see this:

CloudsOverVenezuela

The picture does not do justice to how high some of these thunderheads reached...

Then, about 8 am, the wind suddenly reverses and starts coming hard from the direction of this storm...it gets cold-- 77F -- and we get 1/2 inch of rain in about 1/2 hour.

This is the cause:

BonSat

The wind has since calmed a bit, but we've definitely got a crimp in the diving today.

Cheers,
Roger

Thanks for the update Roger.
Is this a full-fledged storm trying to become a hurricane?

Just rainy weather coming out of the Llanos in Venezuela ... lots of rain also for Triniad and Tobago coming out of the Orinoco Delta.

On Bonaire the sun is shining for some hours again, but quite a high humidity

I noticed that this a.m. on the "other" webcam, too....pitch black skies with the clouds moving in the "wrong" direction! You could see it just brewing over Venezuela and moving towards Bonaire. Very odd. You could see the wind reversal and all on the "other" cam, too.

I was hoping this would not be shades of "Lenny"....he tracked "backwards", too.

Pretty wild! Glad it was only cool air and rain. cb

Are we permitted to post anything from the archives of the "other" cam? Don't want to do that if we are not....cb

Hi Carole, the answer to your question is "Yes", just please do not post them in the Bonaire WebCams topic area.

I noticed on the "other" cam that the underwater cam is gone...not showing, not listed. I wonder if it got washed away with Felix???

There is scrolling text at http://www.breathebonaire.com/index.php?CURRENT_CAM=bonairecam1&SET_CAM=bonairecam1 which states that the cable to their underwater cam has been damaged by rough seas created by Hurricane Felix.
