Hurricane Dorian battered St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and brushing Puerto Rico. Taking aim at the Florida Atlantic Coastline, Hurricane Dorian is projected to be a major hurricane (Category 3) at landfall.

Windy.com has the eye right atop Marsh Harbor as I type this, with barometric pressure at 28.42.

Gosh, I’ve had FOX on all day and was busy doing something so was only listening and not watching it. I was getting more and more annoyed at the idiot talking heads with their ridiculous comments. What the heck is with FOX??? I just now glanced at the tv and saw someone had put it on CNN.
If anyone is arrogant here its you GTHO!
Nice link. Looked to me that eastern back eye wall crossed the Harbour. Eye now about 60 miles from Settlement Point, Grand Bahama. At present speed, it should turn in 12 hours. Or has to turn in 12 hours to avoid more then moderate damage to Floridian coast.
prayers up as this continues
Gotta wonder what kind/amout of damage is gonna be inflicted by coconuts being launched at 200mph ? !
(that assumes that at least some of those palms produce coconuts)
How I used to love visiting the Reptile House at the Miami Zoo before Hurricane Andrew hit!
From the article:
On August 23, 1992 Andrew made landfall south of Miami as a Category 5 hurricane, one of the most powerful ever to hit the United States. Sustained winds whipped at upwards of 150 miles per hour, more than enough to rip roofs off homes and demolish buildings, including a number of exotic wildlife facilities in the area. One of the buildings affected was a breeding facility for Burmese pythons, and many of them escaped.
“Thousands of specimens of exotics [sic] species escaped their caging and enclosures during the passing of the storm through south Dade County,” state environmental inspectors reported 10 days after the hurricane. “Witnesses spotted hundreds of large snakes and non-venomous snakes loose.”
Today the Everglades are overrun with the giant snakes and it’s had devastating consequences. A 2012 study by the U.S. Geological Survey found that after Andrew exacerbated the Burmese python invasion of the Florida Everglades, populations of raccoons and opossums dropped roughly 99 percent and some species of rabbits and foxes effectively disappeared. Species that had long flourished here were being decimated by the aggressive newcomers.
Watching some of that live video from the area that just got hit, and the wind was really behaving nasty. Think there is more then speed we have to worry about. It was like a giant elemental would just wave his wind arm through the area. Bow.
Pow not bow. Crazy bursts basically.
Oops, not live now. It’s video of a news crew in the eye.
There's my answer....never mind.
Not moving anywhere right now.
