Even the airlines were preparing for the worst with almost all flights from San Juan airport cancelled since this morning. Out at sea, cruise lines re-routed ships that sailed this weekend in order to avoid the storm.

"We are calling for gradual strengthening, right now we are forecasting a category 2 hurricane, as it gets closer to the Bahamas and Florida."
In Florida, officials are keeping a close watch on the storm's progress.
The main question is whether Debby will remain on its current track...heading into the Gulf of Mexico or whether it will kick more to the north, reaching South Florida with heavy rain and high winds by
early Friday.
