    1. Michael Squires mark my words! No it’s going to stay over the everglades! Pass the word! Everglades storm!!!

  1. Wow – what a monster – even if doesn’t make landfall it is going to do a huge amount of damage to all of Florida if it skirts up the coast – 20 foot storm surge is massive and Florida is quite flat

    1. @Tessmage Tessera most hurricanes are bigger than the average state. why all the hype? the outer bands do not produce much wind or rain. why suddenly all this hype and hysteria?

    2. @buggiebuild1 am hoping for the best for you and yours – the last report I saw said it was stalling just past the Bahamas – the video from there after it is over is going to be amazing

    1. Jay M
      220 mph………

      i wonder if trump’s aqua net could be sprayed at the hurricane to push the winds back!

      ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

  2. Holy mother of all might!
    Thats not scary, not creepy, but Terrifying! Y’all in this hurricane better stay safe

  3. My Bahamian brothers and sisters you are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that you be safe and that this storm soon passes.

    1. The Deal —
      My thoughts exactly. Just because I don’t experience the fear of the people affected by Dorian’s wrath it doesn’t mean that I don’t fear for them.

  4. I lived thru Andrew, that took down our HomeDepot building, and anything in it’s path. You could see school buses flying by my house.

    1. Homestead was obliterated. Visited Ft. Lauderdale in August 1993. Even a year later, very little signs of life.

    2. Coolride17 —
      Oh how horrible! I can’t even imagine what it must have been like for all those who went through something that devastating.

  5. Her delivery of news does not seem to impart the seriousness of the situation; although being grim may not help anyone.

    1. Newsreaders and weather people always have a touch of excitement about dire news. People’s misfortune reported with glee and enthusiasm ๐Ÿ™„

  6. I believe Dorian is going to move across Florida more than they’re predicting. We shall see. South Florida native, here.

    1. A horse with no name – So, in order to avoid the possibility of a hurricane, tornado, wildfire, earthquake, flash flood, massive sinkhole or mudslide, the G7 next year will be held in an underground bunker in Cheyenne, Wyoming. ๐Ÿคฃ GTFOH

    2. @Slapdat Hugh Jass
      Yes. Or maybe Camp David where it has been held before ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿšข๐Ÿšฝ

  7. I went through Category 5, Camille, at landfall. It is impossible to visualize what a cat 5 does at ground zero. Those areas around the eye in the Bahamas are basically being flattened. In Biloxi, we saw a thirty foot tidal wave hit the beach, and this swept foundations like a broom.

    1. its wishful thinking. thy think if they all say it often enough they will will it in the universe like a positive affirmation

    2. First of all, to say it won’t make landfall in Florida means that she doesn’t even understand the graphics she presents. That trajectory with the cone around it actually doesn’t mean “Hurricane goes along this line but still impacts the cone area” – it means “we don’t know where the Hurricane will go, just that it most probably will be somewhere within that cone, with the middle line being just that: The middle one of all trajectories with a noteworthy probability.”

      So yes, landfall in Florida absolutely is within the range of prediction, while more precise predictions just aren’t physically possible at the moment for a number of reasons.

    3. @Manuela Costa Lima Absolutely agree on all comments above… I mean it’s sht like this that makes people lose faith in MSM… And to your and Christian’s points, you’re absolutely correct. I’m from Florida and to even POSTURE in the slightest that Florida won’t see landfall, be it tornado or direct impact, is just dangerous let alone statistically significantly incorrect. It’s way more likely that Florida will see a direct hit than not. I don’t recall massive systems like this one making such severe northern turns as these models project. I’d like to think they’re right but even if it does basically turn 90 degree north, the east coast of Florida will sure feel like it’s a direct impact.

      WTF? Any way, my beloved Florida and St. Augustine, BE SAFE BE PREPARED!!!!!!!

  8. when it comes to safety don’t use semantics. call a storm surge what it really is and people will understand, and get prepared… Tsunami(jr)!
