When Dorian moves out and we get some helicopters flying over the affected areas, the footage is going to be like nothing we have ever seen. There are not going to be two bricks on top of each other. It’s gonna look like a nuke was dropped.

If you were born there you really know nothing else.

UPDATE: reports that Josh Morgerman made it through #Dorian ok. He said "Josh is shook up pretty good but he made it”


Hopefully he kept his camera rolling. He should have a few hours worth of film from inside the eye.

I heard the NWS hurricane head say a few hours ago they think it will be affected by that trough around 1 or 2 a.m. and start the push north. Sound about right or has something changed?



The NHC are the best in the world. Trust them over anybody.

I don't have near the skill to really project a time like that either but sounds right from what I've seen.

Like what is going through the mind of a woman who gets pregnant and wants to start a family on an island that should be uninhabitable except for those with the means to leave at a moments notice? Seems pretty selfish to start a family on a land that in the near future be the target of a hurricane.

Why live in the midwest with the impending Yellowstone eruption? Why live in LA with the impending 'big one' coming?

It’s going to look just like Mexico Beach.

Does that also apply to building cities on active fault lines or around volcanoes?

What about in areas that are hit frequently by tornadoes?

Or blizzards?

Or droughts?

Pretty much every spot of land has some form of natural disaster.

Probably going to get flamed but why do people continue to try and live on these islands that get hit at least every decade?



why does anyone live in California? It catches fire every year.

it floods in Iowa, Missouri, and Arkansas.

Tornados in Kansas, Oklahoma.

Blizzard up north.

People are going to live where ever it is they call home.

What do you mean? What kind of system?


Shelters on high ground. There is money there, and a tax structure. In a place where so many come from around the world to vacation, buy second homes, and bank, they still have to take care of the people that fry the burgers and make the beds when disasters hit.

You think this is the first hurricane Bahamas has ever seen?


Not even close. I spent a lot of time looking at their google pics. A lot from 2018 show huge areas where most of the branches and all of the leaves were blown off of the trees.

Are you thinking that they should have no social safety net, or infrastructure for natural disasters?

Why live anywhere on the gulf coast? Why live in Moore, Ok? Why live along a fault?

Nobody living on the Bahamas has gone through this before. People will rebuild. If this same scenario happens next year and the next, yeah they should probably reconsider. But this is not an “every decade” event.

They’ve had them on west palm ABC affiliate ch 25. You’re right it’s the NHC out of Miami. They’ve been giving great updates.

Looking like 2 a.m. will be the time the turn north begins. God help the Bahamas either way.

Then you are obviously qualified to know every person that lives there, or owns anything there's financial status. Can you go ahead and publish each individual's financial data?

Then we can all be as assured as you what every individual there should have, or could have done before the hurricane rolled in.

U seriously comparing an occurrence of an eruption that happens about every 600,000years vs a hurricane every 10 years?

I guess you think someone that builds a house at low tide should be felt sorry for at high tide. Ya know, since the interval which destruction happens should have nothing to do with the decision on where to make a home.

He has a show that will be on TV on Sept. 15th. I wonder if anything from this will be included or if the content is already set in stone.

Gosh. That south dip brought the eye wall back over the island again. Unending for them.

Hurricane Man already aired in England, it's set in stone.

First episode is Hurricane Michael.
