Hurricane Dorian 5pm update-Sept 2nd
Hurricane Dorian continues
to pound the NW Bahamas, Grand Bahama island at this time with winds of 145 mph with higher gusts .
Dorian is currently stationary which is terrible for the Bahamas. The storm is expected to begin a Western movement again later tonight and more of a WNW movement tomorrow during the day and then a NW movement during the evening hours of Tuesday night.
We should hopefully start seeing that North Eastern turn sometime on Wednesday afternoon. The question is where Dorian be in relation to Florida’s East coast when it makes that turn? Right now the best guess is somewhere just off shore or just onshore of the Jacksonville area as still a Major Hurricane.
Every on the East coast of Florida North of Palm Beach has to watch and monitor Dorians path very closely as you have been doing.
We then need to focus on Ga, SC, NC and hopefully it will then stay off shore and GO AWAYonce and for all!
The worst of what we will experience in Miami Dade and Broward counties will start occurring this evening into tomorrow. Some of you may have already experienced some TS squals, where it pours for a few minutes and winds pick up and then it clears up. We will see more of these squals in some of our areas just more frequently. Nothing major. We have have a few smaller trees down and sporadic power outages, but I don’t expect much damage in Dade and Broward counties. Tonight and most of tomorrow will be crappy so stay home if you can. Nothing major but equally weather.
I would expect more power outages and some widespread damage from Palm Beach and points North especially along Floridas East coast.
Remember if you happen to be North of the Hurricane and to it’s West, like Jacksonville for example, and you live along the coast you will have Storm Surge. Storm surge causes more deaths in hurricanes than anything else. The wind will be coming in from the East or NE depending on where you live.
Please be safe and I will post updates as necessary.
I have also posted a flyer with some Hurricane relief efforts for our friends in the Bahamas. Let’s ALL pitch in as they are going to need help big time.aftwr the storm passes.
If you want to share any of your relief efforts please send to me tag me on your post. The more options the better!
