Dang it Dorian

Stan Kengai said:
The forecast has changed drastically overnight with Dorian expected to make a sharp northward turn just before hitting the coast of Florida, tracking north just off the coast and making landfall around Savannah/Hilton Head as a Cat 2. Tracks like this are highly unpredictable, but it has the potential to impact coastal communities from south Florida well into South Carolina. May not be as devestating as a direct landfall at Cat 4 intensity, but damage could spread for 500 hundred miles.

I'll believe it when I see it. Its moving due west now.
 
Hoping for the best for anyone in it's path. Especially the citrus growers who got dinged so hard a couple years ago. Not a fast recovery for those in that industry. Be safe everyone!
 
If you are inclined to pray for people, now is a good time. The 8 AM ET forecast shows Hurricane Dorian is now Category 5, with sustained winds of 175 MPH, gusts to 200 MPH, and above the normal tide storm surge of 15-20 feet. It is “wobbling” so where it makes landfall is uncertain. It appears to be turning north, but is certainly going to scour and devastate much of Florida’s east coast. GA, SC, NC, VA are also candidates for landfall and devastation.
 
This is going to hurt.
Hopefully my trees make it.
I’ll be bringing some in.
 
Anyone here from the Bahamas?
Hope they hold up as well as possible.

Also hope all are prepared, this things a monster.
 
It went over the northern part of the Bahamas, with 23 foot storm surge, it could wash from East shore to west shore of the 2 northern islands. We will see come morning how they did. Bahama ordered northern residents to evacuate yesterday to Nassau, which was south of the path.
 
And once again to go with my third time or so repeated
Hurricane grouse.
See Texas for Hurricane proof Monolith Domes.

See if the inner courtyard dome is also Hurricane proof.
Privacy and security for Bonsai................

I care more about my family and home than some little trees. Don't you have a rash to attend to?
 
Joe,

don't think I am being mean please.
The Domes, can handle Hurricanes, and I usually tease
about, the loss of our breezes. [ see Archives ]
To lighten up on the Hurricane horror.

Though we are 1/2 a degree from the normal path of the
Hurricanes, I can appreciate the danger.
Last hit in Trinidad was 1974, broke the avocado tree in 2 and
just missed the house.

May Huracan be gentle.
Anthony
 
I cannot imagine what the folks in Grand Bahama and Little Abaco are experiencing with a major hurricane stalled on top of them for two days From what I hear on the radio, if it was "stick built," it is probably destroyed. Saw an arial photo of Grand Bahama with shore lines superimposed upon it, and a considerable portion of the island is underwater, including the airport.

The eye of Cat. 5 Hurricane Michael made landfall at 160 MPH, passed about 60 miles to my west last October, and it was moving at 16 MPH. The damage it did was remarkable... like a 35 mile wide buzz saw. Hurricane Michael even collapsed pre-Civil War brick buildings 70 miles inland. Contrast that with Hurricane Dorian, which made landfall at 185 MPH, with gusts of 220 MPH, and has parked itself on top of the Bahamas. Though Dorian has lost some steam while parking, it still has sustained winds of 110 MPH. 11 AM ET Advisory says it's moving again, NW at 7 MPH. Given what happened with Michael, my guess is that there will be many fatalities and unimaginable destruction discovered in the Bahamas, once rescue and recovery efforts kick in. I understand that the British Royal Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard are poised to step in once the storm passes.

It will certainly be a historic storm with much destruction and casualties. One can only hope most got to a place of safety out of the area in time.
 
The few pictures from the Bahamas that are coming in look bad.
And it's still sitting there.
