Hurricane Doriane update: 5pm Sept 1st.
Hurricane Dorian continues to to unleash it’s wrath on the Northern Bahamas.
Dorian currently has max sustained winds of 185 mph with gusts over 220 mph and now only moving West at 5 mph, which is catastrophic for our friends in the Bahamas. This is the stro
ngest Hurricane EVER recorded in the Bahamas.
Most watches and warnings in South Florida remain the same. There is now a Hurricane warning from Jupiter inlet to the Brevard/ Volusia county line.
Broward county is still under a Tropical Storm watch.
We are still anticipating a Northern turn over the next 24hrs. This turn WILL occur due to a strong trough digging in from the West to the East Coast of the United States, plus a weakening in the high pressure system that has been steering Dorian over the past week or so.
The question with this storm is timing. If the trough takes a bit longer to pull Dorian North then Dorian will make landfall over Florida before heading North. This is still not likely, but it is possible. At this point this scenario can’t be discounted.
This storm will then hug the coast and possibly make it all the way up to Virginia as still a Hurricane. Think about this, after nailing the Bahamas, and Impacting Florida this Hurricane will still have enough strength as it goes up the East coast effecting Fl, Ga, SC, NC, and Va and it will possibly still be a Cat 1 hurricane by the time it reaches Virginia sometime on Friday the 6th of September! Insane!
This storm will go down in history as one of the strongest, most catastrophic and costliest hurricanes in the record books.
Let’s continue to pray for our friends in the Bahamas who are going through a devastating Hurricane and they still have 24 hrs or so more to go before things calm down. May God bless them.
I will post an update at 11pm if anything changes, if not first thing in the morning.
Please keep monitoring this blog or your local news as things can and will change again.
