Category 4 Hurricane Erin buffets northern Caribbean islands but not forecast to hit land
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Hurricane Erin exploded in strength and became a major storm in Atlantic waters just north of the Caribbean on Saturday, rapidly powering up from a tropical storm in a single day and bringing heavy rains and high winds to islands in the region. The first Atlantic hurricane of 2025, Erin reached Category 5 status before weakening somewhat and becoming a Category 4 storm, with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (220 kph), according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Late Saturday night, the center reported that Erin was 'undergoing structural changes' but was still 'formidable' as its rain and winds buffeted Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The storm's center was about 145 miles (230 kilometers) north-northeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and it was heading toward the west-northwest at 14 mph (22 kph). It was not forecast to make a direct hit on land. Hurricane center director Mike Brennen said Erin grew into a 'very powerful hurricane,' with its winds gaining 60 mph (96 kph) in about nine hours. Forecasters predicted it will remain a major hurricane into the coming week. Erin close enough to land to trigger flooding, landslides The storm's center was forecast pass north of Puerto Rico, according to the National Hurricane Center. Nevertheless, it said, heavy rain in some areas could trigger flash flooding, landslides and mudslides. Tropical storm watches were issued for St. Martin, St. Barts and the Turks and Caicos Islands. The National Weather Service in San Juan issued an alert for Saturday night for nearly two thirds of Puerto Rico, warning of 50 mph (80 kph) winds and urging people to shelter in safe structures. Power was knocked out to about 130,000 customers in the territory. Locals and tourists walked and shopped as usual earlier in the day in Puerto Rico's capital. Restaurants were busy, and despite warnings to avoid beaches, people could be seen in the water. Sarahí Torres and Joanna Cornejo, who were visiting from California for a Bad Bunny concert, said they decided to go to the beach and wade in because the skies were calm. 'The weather looked fine, so we came out,' Torres said. The U.S. government deployed more than 200 employees from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other agencies as a precaution. Puerto Rico Housing Secretary Ciary Pérez Peña said 367 shelters were inspected and ready to open if needed. Officials in the Bahamas also prepared shelters and urged people to monitor the storm's progress. Powerful rip currents could affect the U.S. East Coast from Florida to the mid-Atlantic next week, despite the eye of the storm forecast to remain far offshore, Brennan said. An 'incredible' race from tropical storm to Category 5 Hurricane specialist and storm surge expert Michael Lowry said Erin gained strength at a pace that was 'incredible for any time of year, let alone Aug. 16.' Lowry said only four other Category 5 hurricanes have been recorded in the Atlantic on or before Aug. 16. The most powerful storms tend to form later in the year, with the hurricane season typically peaking in mid-September. In October 2005, Hurricane Wilma rocketed from a tropical storm to a Category 5 in less than 24 hours, according to National Hurricane Center advisories from that time. Wilma weakened to a Category 3 hurricane before striking Florida. And in October 2007, Hurricane Felix took just over a day to go from a tropical storm to Category 5. Including Erin, there have been 43 hurricanes that have reached Category 5 status on record in the Atlantic, said Dan Pydynowski, senior meteorologist at AccuWeather, a private forecasting company. 'They're certainly rare, although this would mark the fourth year in a row that we've had one in the Atlantic basin,' Pydynowski said. Warming climate linked to storms strengthening faster Scientists have linked rapid intensification of hurricanes in the Atlantic to climate change. Global warming is causing the atmosphere to hold more water vapor and is spiking ocean temperatures, and warmer waters give hurricanes fuel to unleash more rain and strengthen more quickly. Storms that ramp up so quickly complicate forecasting and make it harder for government agencies to plan for emergencies. Hurricane Erick, a Pacific storm that made landfall June 19 in Oaxaca, Mexico, also strengthened rapidly, doubling in intensity in less than a day. Erin is the fifth named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30 and is expected to be unusually busy. Six to 10 hurricanes are predicted for the season, including three to five reaching major status with winds of more than 110 mph (177 kph). ___ Bynum reported from Savannah. Georgia.

Dr. Robert J. "Bob" Lowe Bob Lowe passed away on June 4,
Aug. 16—Dr. Robert J. "Bob" Lowe Bob Lowe passed away on June 4, 2025, in Southern California, leaving a legacy of love, service, and surgical excellence as a general, vascular, and transplant surgeon, husband, father, colleague, and friend. Born in northern Wisconsin, Bob considered both Wisconsin and New Mexico home, living in Albuquerque for over 50 years. He earned a BS in Biochemistry (1970) and an MD (1974) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he met his wife, Elena Spielman at the "Kerk" eating cooperative adjacent to campus. They married in 1976 and remained closely connected to their UW friends, attending the Kerk's annual "Big Chill" reunion for over two decades. Bob completed his general surgery residency at University of New Mexico Hospital. In 1980, he joined Surgical Associates, a private surgery practice affiliated with Presbyterian, St. Joseph, and Lovelace Hospitals. Surgical Associates was known for handling complex and unusual cases; in 2000, Bob and his partners pioneered laparoscopic donor nephrectomies in New Mexico. Bob later joined the surgical staff of Presbyterian Healthcare Services and served as the Surgical Medical Director for the Renal Transplant Program. Bob was deeply respected in his field. A quiet but committed philanthropist, Bob supported environmental causes, international aid groups such as UNICEF, and programs for training and supporting medical professionals. He believed in global responsibility, sustainability, and advancing medicine. Bob and Elena raised two children, Michael and Jessica. He is survived by his wife, children, and three sisters: Margaret Venz, Susan Brabender, and Sara Roush. An avid car enthusiast, Bob was the go-to source for friends seeking advice before a purchase. He loved road trips in his 32' RV, hiking, skiing, reading (especially car magazines), traveling, and animals, particularly pugs, with Monty and Ramsey holding special places in the family. Bob will be remembered for his kindness, intelligence, surgical skill, coining hilarious nicknames, and loyalty to the Wisconsin Badgers and Green Bay Packers. He courageously fought pancreatic cancer for over 10 years. In 2024, he was delighted to be able to attend the 50th anniversary reunion of his UW medical school class. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Los Poblanos Inn, 4803 Rio Grande Blvd NW. Friends are encouraged to share their stories. Solve the daily Crossword
