Technically correct, yet nobody calls it Grand Bahama, including the people that live on it. I go there a few times a year as 1 customer of mine loves Port Lucaya.

Oh please. Wilma-185, Rita-180, Gilbert-185, Labor Day 1935-185, Allen-190, Mitch-180, Irma-180 and now Dorian.

It's just more of the "Climate Drama" tags lines.


The first Category 5 in history to make landfall was Hurricane Michael in 2016 since the one in 1935 "labor day hurricane". None of the ones listed above made landfall with anything close to a category 5. Wilma was 125 MPH winds CAT2/possible weak 3 when it hit North Miami, I know as it landed 20 miles from my house and I was without power for 21 days. Irma made landfall as a weak Category 1 at 85 mph winds +/- when it hit and that landed 100 miles South of me and I was without power 14 days.

There are very very very few structures that can withstand Dorian's 185 MPH winds and gusts over 200 MPH. The hurricanes listed above never made landfall (besides Michael) at anywhere close to a 5.

There's just no way of even fathoming 185 mph winds and their damage. We're talking Andrew + with the reach of Sandy+.

Here's some early footage from the Bahamas:

The Bahamas- Here's elevation above sea level. Not much for most of the islands.

Thanks for mentioning Camille, which came ashore in Pass Christian, MS. in August of 1969. Even though it was a Category 5 at landfall, Katrina which made landfall as a Category 3 had a 28 foot storm surge, because it was a much larger storm.

There is a local saying here that Camille killed more people in 2005. People figured that if they were not affected by the storm surge in Camille, that they would be fine.

It's the truth. Everyone simply calls it Freeport......since the city pretty much encompasses the island. Just like everyone refers to the Florida Keys as the keys......I'm going to the keys this weekend...…..Nobody EVER refers to Nassau as New Providence, considering New Providence is the island and Nassau is the town. They simply say, I'm going to Nassau because the city of Nassau pretty much encompases the entire island now.

Dorian's now slowed to 5 MPH and still a Cat 5 with winds of 177 MPH, gusting to 225. It damn well better make that turn to the north.

If it doesn’t, it’s going to be one of the biggest clusterfucks in the history of meteorology. I don’t put much stock in forecasting models with strong storms, as Mother Nature often shrugs.

I keep waiting for it to turn also. It's 30 miles North of my house and going due West. 2 of the models have it turning within 10-20 miles of the coast and following right along or right inside of the coast up to Jacksonville area before heading more out to sea. My gut feeling is it will turn North about 20 miles offshore when it starts feeling resistance from the condo's on the beach, but who knows. The HWRF and HMON models have it going right along the beach or even inland a bit up until Jacksonville in the 12 AM forecast. Once it gets past Freeport and hits the Gulfstream, we'll see if it turns or not. It's going to be a VERY devastating situation if it doesn't turn sooner than later. The Millibars have stayed the same at 925, the last 3 forecasts.

Here are the different models:

The Current NHC prediction still has Dorian making the turn north, but coming closer to the Florida coast before if does so.

My father's house just went outside the cone by a couple miles in the latest update. Hoping he'll be spared the worst of the storm, but it looks like tropical storm force winds are 90% probability.

It’s been downgraded to a Cat 4 so hopefully it’s a sign that it’ll continue to weaken at a rapid pace. Hopefully.
