The SE Bahamas are getting absolutely pounded by a nearly stationary Cat 3 storm that is strengthening. Someone will have 18 hrs of hurricane force winds - no thanks

Yeah, the Bahamas are going through hell right now. Absolute hell.

Yeah that's a bad time. I will say the entire city of DC is collectively shitting their pants right now. I'm in a brand new apt building in Alexandria, so I'm ready for this hurricane party

Latest projection doesn't look good.

All those old 2 and 3 story colonial homes with slate roofs are not designed for those wind loads. Once those slates start flying off, water is going to pour into those homes flow all the way to the basements.

A direct hit on the Chesapeake Bay area would be a very bad thing for us here. We could get massive flooding in this region.

If you're anywhere near Old Town Alexandria the flooding will be very bad. That area can't handle a lot of water coming in.

In addition to surge and wind the models are showing the potential for upwards of 30" of rain!

I am, but pretty far to the northwest, basically at the top of the hill that goes down to the river. We've had some bad storms and it's been fine here so far. I know hurricanes are different, but I'm a solid mile away from the river. If it looks like we're going to get a direct hit I'll probably just go up to my family's place in central PA.

I don't think I've ever seen a model run quite like our 3Z internals... it actually forecasts it to remain completely stationary for the next 51 hours (that's as far as it goes)
I don't think it matters too much to the people down there - stationary or slowly grinding through suck equally bad. The extra overnight data seems to be helping the models not named HWRF or GFDL

Yeah it is crazy how easily it floods in this city. I fortunately don't live in a flood zone, but it would still make getting around horrible.
If it hits this area I will post pics as shite is going down.
