Now after first making landfall. Snapping trees in half. Rifg trees out of the ground. At times Hurricane Force winds covering the entire island. East coast the cnn crew watched it rip a roof off the hotel. On u. S. Virgin islands communication is sporadic and spotty. Some there are relying upon facebook to ask about others who are missing. Lets begin with cnn leyla sant in the capital of san juan. Earlier you were being battered by high winds tough to stand. What are conditions like there now . Reporter you know still rain coming down, jake. So a little windy but not anything near what we saw earlier. The big problem now is the rain continues. And take a look behind me. There is quite a bit of flooding that has come as a result. Many of the major roads impassable. But see that white van as a point of reference of what im seeing right now. You can see its coming up on the back bumper. And it has come up pretty quickly from when we first got here. And this is not the worst we have seen.
