estimate of Dorian will be Cat3 when it hits according to NOAA......time of hit will be sometime Saturday during the day or night depending on Track.....better get your supplies now while you can, this way ur ready to go. Also get used to evacuation routes if need be, don't what happened to us with Harvey happen to you....also keep in contact with your neighbors.........u don't want this to happen to you,,,

before and after....during Harvey...that is IH10

what is interesting that if you look into the upper right corner there is a storm over the bahamas right now that is breaking apart as Dorian get closer, and toward the end of the gif, check out the circular rotation that comes out of that storm.....

Oh hey, anyone else have a hurricane possibly coming your way?

If it's still 75MPH by the time it reaches me, everybody before me is in serious trouble.

We get big blobs of flooding rain though. Sometimes. Maybe it'll circle up and off the coast, seems to have changed a lot since yesterday. When it wasn't supposed to be a hurricane at all.

My niece lives in Miami. Hopefully they are spared.

@GreatwhiteNorth gwn are you goofin on me

The swamp is already flooded due to torrential rains lately. We’ve got gators back there. The pond has doubled in size. More rain and we’ll be fishing off the back porch. Kinda sounds good actually lol

The weather channel is saying Florida landfall around Monday AM??

It's all a big guessing game to begin with anyway.

I've got half a dozen relatives/close friends in the Miami area as well so I guess I'm invested in the outcome.

Two days after Andrew in 1992 I flew from AK to Miami to help with recovery - Took my chain saw, a couple sets of work clothes, sun screen, my 1911, ammo & 10K in cash.
Used them all.

same with me when Harvey hit here, went to rockport, port aransas area to help with clean up....man that place was destroyed, i was in awe, and old place that i used to eat was down there when i got there the only thing left was the slab and the plumming.....alot of people i knew went to Houston to help over there...they took boats, 4wd lifted trucks, they're gun, chain saws....the works.....

Depending on the path, Michael went south of us by a bit, Opel can straight through us.

I've been to coast to work relief a bunch of times, Ivan was by far the worse.

The problem for me is, I work in healthcare and they will wait till the final hour to evacuate and by then the roads are so backed up you can’t get anywhere so at that point I would opt to stay put. I think I would rather be stuck at home than on I95.

What did you accomplish today?
