Hurricane Dorian... meet Florida!

My original blog on August 26 reflected weather forecasters predicting Dorian, then a tropical storm to hit the East Coast of Florida Friday morning as a tropical storm. They were 90% wrong. The only thing they are getting right is the East Coast part.
I said Mar-a-Lago... and it looks like I'm more accurate than the forecasters with their radar, satellites and airplane storm trackers.

Currently... Dorian has slowed it's travel, picked up speed and is now a category 3 hurricane packing winds over 110 miles per hour. Expected to hit Florida early Tuesday morning. That means the outer band of tropical winds will be reaching us sometime Monday night!

But, you knew god was upset with Trump. wink
I think we can guess where most of the FEMA money will be spent this month.
Mar-a-Lago will be getting far more than paper towels thrown at them.
As a former real estate agent, I question your definition of "real estate".
Nonetheless, while 100 mph winds are not sufficient to pick up and relocate our porky president to some other country, they would yield some terrific photo opportunities;

Stay safe chatman, it looks like you guys are gonna get the brunt of this thing.
hmmm
Prob'ly that they named it Dorian.

If they'd named it after a Swamp Drainer like Big Bad Don the Everglade would become the Neverglades desert.
OTH - It could be turned into one helluva golf course!
It'd take a couple weeks to shoot a round using a Tesla as a golf cart.

hmmm

OTOOH -
Donald might be a most(!) appropriate name for this particular weather event.
A low level tropical storm that takes Florida as a Cat 3 hurricane.

Sorta like how Big Bad Don wrecked Hildebeest in Florida -

choir

Perhaps after the storm hits Mar-a-lago

The 5pm advisory is out and Dorian is predicted to travel WNW. The speed has slowed to 9mph and sustained winds are holding at 115mph.

The problem with a slow moving hurricane is hours and hours of heavy winds in the same area and rain literally changes the geography. Sand blown up on the beaches will most likely cover highway A1A. Flooding in low lying areas cannot drain. They will open the floodgates expecting the overflow to drain into the ocean but it's most likely the storm surge will hold the water back. Some areas have pumps to force the water out but that's only a band-aid and may not be effective.
It's a good thing Trump shifted money away from FEMA. wine
Shifting money ain't nothin' for Big Bad Don, curves laugh

Hell! He could shift the hurricane away from Florida, send it to Texas & have it pile up sand along the Southern border.
VOILA! A Wall!! peace
That is if he wants to, of course.

There is a disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico that could be influencing this storm. The 8 a.m. advisory is showing a northerly curve before it reaches the Coast of Florida
Fingers crossed Chat - Let it move North East
AND -
Things are looking good for Mar-A-Lago thumbs up

Put THAT in your crack pipe & smoke it, Dingbat 5 Month Canuck PM (and other crazy people who needn't bear naming wink ) tongue

hmmm
BTW, Nastics - Dorian's heading up the coast. How'd NJ go in the Election of '16?
Ya. I didn't think so uncertain
You might wanna head out now & avoid the rush stocking up on non-perishables, bottled water & batteries.
Just sayin'.

cowboy
If this storm is coming then right now we are experiencing the calm before the storm. For people celebrating the holiday, today is beautiful. Sure hope I can say that a few days from now.
Get to the head of a Mal-Mart line muy pronto, Nastics -

The Big Bad Don is siccing Dorian on YOUR Leftist àss hole

Yesterday, Florida - Today, Jersey!!!
BWA-HA-HA-HA devil

I no sooner said the calm before the storm when the sky opened up. I sure jinxed that.
There are a few YouTube links with live coverage from the Bahamas. One guy reported the highest wind gusts are reaching over 200mph!

Storm surge of 20 feet. Unless you are on a mountain (or 4th floor of a resort) the water will be over your head.

What surprises me is Channel 10 (from Miami) has a crew doing live from the Bahamas and they aren't thinking about safety as the water where they are filming from is waist deep.
Stay safe Chat.
Fay - I think the majority of the storm will stay east of you and north of Chat.
Thus, thankfully, you probably both lucked out this time.
However, things could change. head banger
Monday September 2, 2019 update.
Hurricane Dorian has slowed from 185 to 165 maximum sustained winds and down to 1 mile per hour westerly direction. That's not a typo. ONE mile per hour.
This storm is literally sitting over the Bahamas tearing things up!
The Northerly turn doesn't look like it will be until Tuesday and not as tight as the original prediction. This means there is a stronger chance it will affect North Palm Beach up to Daytona Beach.
The 8 p.m. advisory.140 mile an hour winds Dorian is stationary over the Bahamas. The storm has been there all day tearing up those islands. The reason why it's not moving is because the upper-level atmosphere is calm and that's normally what steers storms.
As long as Dorian remains in warm waters it will continue to be fueled.
