Dorian is a few hours away from bringing tropical storm force winds and rain to PUERTO RICO.
It will then move towards the SOUTHEASTERN US, and the National Hurricane Center is predicting that Dorian will strengthen to a Category 2 hurricane, bringing 100mph winds as it approaches FLORIDA

As of 8am EST, it is moving 60 mph

Makes me think of Dorian Gray who is a wealthy gentleman who has gained immortality by having his soul trapped within a painting. He is well known for his extravagance and debauchery.

(1:31) DeSantis Declares State of Emergency
Hurricane Dorian has barreled through the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico without causing much damage, and is now headed straight for the Florida coastline. After intensifying from a tropical storm into a hurricane late Wednesday, the storm continued to strengthen as it pulled closer to the U.S.

Dorian Hurricane Update GSM Earth and Space Weather News 8.30.19

Hurricane Dorian is now moving through the western Atlantic Ocean. A hurricane watch has been issued for the northwestern Bahamas. Dorian will threaten parts of the Bahamas and the southeastern U.S. over Labor Day weekend. The most likely scenario is a track near the Florida Peninsula late in the weekend, but exact details will change. Residents from the northern Gulf Coast to Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas should monitor forecasts closely.

Currently a Cat2, wind 105mph, moving 12mph NW

(1:47) Hurricane #Dorian Gaining Incredible Strength

On Wednesday we were told that Hurricane Dorian would only be a Category 3 storm when it hits the Florida coastline, but now we are being told that it will be a Category 4 storm. Hurricane Dorian is rapidly gaining strength over very warm waters in the Atlantic Ocean, and the latest forecast has it making landfall somewhere along the east coast of Florida on Monday.  If it is officially a Category 4 storm when it arrives, it will be the most powerful storm to hit the east coast of Florida since Hurricane Andrew in 1992.


uh oh Evacuate or batten down the hatches and pray

Florida's governor urged residents to stock up on enough food, water and medicine to last seven days as the potentially devastating Hurricane Dorian gets closer to the state.

Dorian's maximum winds increased to 140 mph Saturday as it nears the Bahamas then on to the Florida coast by late Monday. About 15 million people will feel the storm's effects

Track Dorian LIVE:

Hurricane Strengthens to Category 4, May Get Even Stronger Before Hitting Florida Coast

WHAT TO KNOW:

Dorian became a Category 4 hurricane late Friday and threatens to hit Florida as a Category 4 storm by late Monday or early Tuesday

The latest update from the National Hurricane Center had Dorian with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph while moving northwest at 10 mph

NHC says coastal sections of southeast U.S. could see about 6 to 12 inches of rain from Dorian; isolated amounts of 18 inches are possible

Hurricane Dorian strengthened to a Category 4 storm late Friday, becoming the first major hurricane of the 2019 Atlantic season — and possibly the strongest to hit Florida's east coast in 30 years

Trump nuke threat discourages Dorian from hitting Mar a Lago laugh

If you say you wouldn't want to see a nuclear explosion inside a hurricane, you'd be lying. Remarkably, even talking about it has brought results. A media discussion of Trump's suggestion to nuke hurricanes was enough for the approaching hurricane Dorian to chicken out and turn east. Nuclear deterrence works.

On the other hand, we don't know what sort of an ugly picture of himself this Dorian keeps in his attic. That picture may show a completely different trajectory than the lump of colorful spaghetti on our TV screens.

That said, our fellow Floridians are busy sharing memes on their phones while standing in lines for hurricane supplies. Below are just some of them. If you have more, post them here.

(1:05) Category-5 Dorian Closing In
Dorian has intensified as it closes in on the northern Bahamas.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Dorian’s maximum sustained winds have increased to 160 mph, up from 150 mph. It is moving west at 8 mph.

Dorian closes in on Bahamas as dangerous Category 5 storm
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Dorian’s maximum sustained winds have increased to 175 mph (280 kph), up from 160 mph (260 kph). It is moving west at 8 mph (13 kph). “Devastating hurricane conditions” are expected in The Abaco Islands early Sunday and across Grand Bahama later in the day, the center said.

Millions from Florida to the Carolinas kept a wary eye on Dorian, meanwhile, amid indications it would veer sharply northeastward after passing the Bahamas and track up the U.S. Southeast seaboard. But authorities warned even if its core did not make U.S. landfall and stayed offshore, the potent storm would likely hammer U.S. coastal areas with powerful winds and heavy surf.

All bad, just keeps getting worst.

Storm will last till FRIDAY.

Storm surges on East Coast, 7-23 FEET, plus waves on that.
Most deaths, 55-79% are from storm surges.

Winds may go as high as 220 mph

Dorian will be on the Bahamas for 36 hours!

Expect USA, sending lots of money. Expect refugees
