Hi
I’m near Daytona Beach, smack dab in the way. I’ve been through many storms, even worked for the Dept of Insurance in 2004 when we had 4 in 6 weeks or so.
This will be the worst I’ve been through. My windows are good, I’ll sandbag the garage and see what happens.

Latest update.....

It's looking much better for Florida... Dorian is moving so slow that it's allowed a high pressure system from the west to come in and push it farther east along the coast.
Yes we are still in the cone, no we really don't know until it actually gets here.... but a little breathing room for all of Florida!

Bad news as long as it don't hit land it will continue at cat 4, and the entire coast is at risk, any little change it hits land but now we have no idea where surprised

So the prep and worry continues

Just to give y'all some stats...
Florida is 500 miles long, 160 miles wide
Over 21 million people live here
That's not counting the tourist

Dorian is 360 miles wide, at this point

Yes, this is usually where people make the mistake of stopping prep. They think their in the clear and let down their guard. Even if it doesn't hit land, there's still an extreme risk of flooding, most likely more because it's not hitting land.

Almost as wide as Irma, who was 425 miles wide. It still has the potential of growing even more, but even at 360 miles, it will still effect all of Florida.

Exactly! Plus in central Florida we have the added risk of tornadoes developing!

That's scary. I got caught in a tornado back home many years ago and it was so powerful that it took my t-shirt off my back!

It took about a year before I was comfortable enough to go out on a windy day.

Dorian is in the news here too.

Thinking about you all in Florida. May you all stay safe flowerforyou

Good morning KitKat and Delightful flowerforyou

Thanks Delightful.

Tornadoes will be a definite threat, as will water spouts south of the hurricane. The water spouts only pose a threat to boaters and those next to the shoreline.

Glad you're not going to get the direct hit!
Now people of South Carolina's have to start getting worried and prepped I guess.
But wouldn't there be a chance of the whole thing dying down before it gets to any land?
It's days before it even reaches South Carolina. Maybe it'll disappear up its own @$$.
Is that possible? I know tornadoes can just suddenly disappear, would it be different with a hurricane?

Hope flooding isn't going to be a major problem!

It's highly unlikely Crystal with the warm waters. About the only thing that would cause that to happen at this point is a cold front, and even then it would most likely only weaken it, not get it to fizzle out completely. The water temperatures need to cool down for that to happen.

Yea you're right. It's not likely to fizzle out especially as it encounters the gulf stream It is likely to become more energetic.
It's going to be a long few days for many. Good luck people.
