Hurricane Dorian

Rockstar · 08-30-19, 10:40 AM

So many possibilities. First thought was that it may cross the peninsula into the GOM. Now a trough is moving in which might produce an opening for Dorian to drive straight up into Disneyland eventually then curve back out towards the Atlantic and up along the coast to Hatteras.

Yeah, not good for me.

Slow moving hurricane too ... what they call the Space Coast has never had a hurricane in September

There's been a few that hit Key West in August/September. Historically hurricanes in this time frame have headed straight for the Space Coast but turned Northward and made landfall elsewhere. Some models are beginning to indicate Dorian may do that too. Prepare for the worst, hope the best.

You know better be safe, than sorry.

By the looks of things the hurricanes track is going to take it up the East Coast rather then it making landfall here in Florida. But that could also mean it might become a Cat 5 while it slowly moves up the coast during it's interaction with the Gulf Steam. Even so with it being a Cat 4 and it possibly not making landfall it's still going to be nasty. I remember the last hurricane and even though it stayed on Florida's west coast it still caused a lot power outages and downed trees both of which took what seemed like ages to take care of.

Dorian is still too far to be certain of track. Sooo many variables in play here, Youtube video explains them. Florida may still get wacked by Dorian.

Quote:

Hurricane Dorian has become a catastrophic category five storm, and is expected to hit the Bahamas with devastating winds and very heavy rain.

The "extremely dangerous" storm is expected to slam the north-west of the island chain on Sunday, the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) said, before heading to the US east coast.

Grand Bahama residents have been evacuating from its predicted path.

The storm surge could be as high as 15ft (4.6m), officials warned.
