Hurricane Dorian is now stalled over Freeport, Bahamas at 3am in the morning
with the storm still CAT 5 wind speed 175mph gust up to 200 mph and on top
that the storm is only going 2mph still tracking West ...

Those poor people in it's path must be hurting and scared for their lives

I have a small idea what they are going through, we had a small tornado go through right next to our house, trees came down and we lost part of our verandah. I was outside huddled against the wall praying, it was the scariest thing I've been through, this thing though is a monster!! I pray no one gets hurt but that is probably not likely.

The first victim is reported to be an eight-year-old boy and his sister is still missing.

God Almighty, the only thing worse than a monster hurricane is a monster hurricane that stalls right on top of you.

It's now a Cat 4 moving at 1 mph heading WNW.

I do not remember ever seeing one this powerful stall before. It's bad enough to be hit by a hurricane, it's worse for one to camp out on you. This is legendary.

Hurricane Dorian is finally on the move this morning's update has her as a CAT 3 hurricane with winds up to 120mph headed northwest at the speed of 1 mph

At this rate Dorian should make land fall sometime in October

So now that it's finally moving at a pace that would make a sloth look fast there's also four more, that's right FOUR more storms moving across the Atlantic and they all have the potential to be the next hurricane! I also should note that Dorian's eye wall has collapsed and so far this is been the most unpredictable hurricane that I've ever seen. It has done almost every time the exact opposite of what the forecasters said it would do.

Dorian has left the Bahamas behind and is now headed northwest as a cat 2 storm of 110 mph @ 6mph ... This is what she left behind ... Unbelievable!

The golf course and carts seem to have done pretty well. I expected to see lots of boats strewn about, but it was hard for me to identify anything as a boat from that footage.
