Can you imagine a wind at 225 MPH?

That's the gust speeds on Hurricane Dorian. Still going due west and about 145 miles from Florida. The weather folks that the wind speed is like a "4" on the tornado scale.

In Kauai Hurricane Iniki had gusts to 225, stalled over the island, and stripped every tree. the storm surge combined with a high tide hit 30'. the storm waves in Jurassic Park were filmed by the crew during Iniki.

I'm happy I'm 100 miles inland.

Good luck!

Stupid thing hasn't moved north at all yet. The Weather Channel folks are so excited!

I’ve been between three females talking, figure it’s close

Went through hurricane Charlie. 172 constant winds so I can relate. Don't want to do it again.

The turn North will come on Tuesday, when and where are the big questions. In the meantime it is grinding West at 4 mph.

Glad I'm on the West coast, far away from Dorian (and Trump, who said Dorian will not impact Alabama).

This morning its pounding the Bahamas at 175 MPH. Before moving out west to Colorado then New Mexico, I lived in Florida for 25 years. This does not look good.

Moving west at 1, yes 1, MPH.
A disaster for those underneath.
I pray for them.
Don....

A 1 MPH monster. Monster!

Yeah. This beast will just sit on your head until it twists it off.

 

[BillA]

jumpers can relate to 225 mph
that is not the plane speed to exit the side door

 

[smokeythecat]

One reason I won't move to Florida. New Mexico, huh?

Hunker down Smoky. May end up your way.

Guys and girls, the one thing good when the storm is at 1 mph is that it is meeting those features that are supposed to turn the beast. It's bucking up against the cold front moving across the mid states and some disturbance still out in the gulf. Those are the items that are planned on making the storm move up north. When it slowed down, that is good for everybody except those directly in the storm.

It's too crowded anyway. but you are welcome to come down and play bumper cars with the rest of the loonies.

I hope that it dose not hit our country and go out to sea.
