August 28, 20197 yr Take care everybody, @Diane R and @beacon and other Floridians. Who knows where else this is going... Here is Levi Cowan's Tropical Tidbits Twitter Feed (his site is getting dangerously high traffic) and Weather Underground's Blog where the comment section keeps you up to date.
August 29, 20197 yr My mom and sis are both on Merritt island, directly in the path of the storm, hoping this either piddles out or heads out to sea 😞
August 29, 20197 yr Author It's going to be a tense few days, @jillar. Beacon is in Miami and Diane R is in Palm Beach. Plus, if it crosses the state and hits the gulf....well....it is going to be a tense week.
August 29, 20197 yr Hellkat's in Florida too 😞 Hoping everyone stays safe, gets their homes hurricane secure as much as possible and listens if they call for evacuations!
August 29, 20197 yr Author Here is a cool page from NHS where you can click on individual model tracks and animate them as well Tropical Atlantic Models
August 29, 20197 yr I'm watching The Weather Channel now. It looks like bad news for Florida but everyone from Louisiana to the Carolinas should be following this. As of tonight's 5:00 update, there are paths in the spaghetti models showing Dorian heading both ways after a Florida landfall. (Although I admit I think spaghetti models is a cool weather term) Be safe everyone.

Were as prepared as we can be and hopefully there will be no evacuations for J-ville. Hope your mom and sis stay safe!
August 30, 20197 yr @hellkatbaby, glad you're prepared already. Hopefully you're far enough north that you'll miss the brunt of it. My mom and sis are the biggest laggers and will probably wait until the last minute to get prepared 😞
August 30, 20197 yr Yea @Sazerac, I am. It's hard being so far away but hopefully it changes course. My mom won't evacuate because the last time she did she ended up falling and breaking a bone. At least her and my sis will be together since sis won't evacuate if mom doesn't 😞
August 30, 20197 yr Thanks Sally for this update ... Sending positive prayers over the pond.....Geez....
August 30, 20197 yr Author The latest track from NHC (there will be more updates now that warnings & watches are out in the Bahamas) and today we have the eye popping out Edited August 30, 20197 yr by Sazerac
August 30, 20197 yr Drove to Chattanooga this morning and saw a large convoy of utility trucks and ambulances on the interstate heading to Florida. A scene like that brings the reality of the situation home. Godspeed to the folks in the Sunshine State.
August 31, 20197 yr That storm is pretty tightly wound in the central part and the eye is very well defined now. That just formed today as it wasn't there yesterday. They still don't seem to know where it's gonna make landfall. It must be slow moving and I guess Floridians won't really know what's what for another couple of days? That would just ramp up everyone's anxiety for sure.
August 31, 20197 yr Most recent trajectory 😞 https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at5+shtml/234529.shtml?gm_track#contents
August 31, 20197 yr We had this hurricane on our late news last night ,for the first time ...hopefully they will keep us updated .. Awful ...
August 31, 20197 yr Author The track this morning is slightly more optimistic for Florida, not great for South Carolina. Still, the cone of uncertainty isn't cheering.
