Looks like there is still wind and rain to come.
Edited to add the distance tool results (like jimg20 did)
Results for St.John (18.35N, 64.73W):
The eye of the storm is about 65 miles (105 km) away. If the system keeps moving at its current speed of 15 mph and directly towards you, it will take around 4.4 hours (Monday, August 30 at 5:24PM AST) to reach you. You are already experiencing strong winds. Better take cover instead of sitting behind the computer!
Now you know how close it is, find out how close it can get!
