So it's not really going to turn North until tomorrow morning.
 
Looks like Grand Bahama island is going to have sit under Dorian a bit longer. There are just no
steering currents going on now and we might not see her "lose her moorings" until tomorrow
around noon!!!! At least this is what I see on my system anyway.
 
Is anybody alive in the Bahamas hit by the Hurricane? Whoever is left, meeds to be evacuated back to civilization.
 
Jesus! The Storm seems to be in the same place as it was yesterday. Are dead Bahamian bodies washing up on Florida's coast yet? Let's face it, no one is alive there.
 
This is starting to look like a non-event for Florida. Everybody running around for a week, and it just turns out to be another Tropical Storm type weather. Hope everybody had fun standing in line for gas, water, and groceries.

Terrible for the people in the Bahamas. I cannot imagine the devastation we will see when this storm moves on. NOTHING in the US will compare to what they have just endured.

This is what happens with Hurricanes. A week of 'Preparedness' ... followed by ... a 'NothingBurger'. This is the exact reason people never leave during 'Mandatory Evacuations'.
'Stretch' doesn't like Earthquakes. This is the reason 'earthquakes' are better than 'hurricanes' ... there's no "Run for your Lives, We're all Gonna Die!"

I’ll take hurricanes over large Earthquakes any day. Earthquakes don’t give any warning. Our household always kept supplies, traded out water and freeze dried meals, replaced batteries once a year, gas tank never below half full. It’s a good winter precaution, too. Where I live now, I always keep water as well, but hurricanes you get a warning and can prepare, somewhat, Earthquakes, not so much. They had a small tremor in Anchorage while I was visiting, my poor granddaughter has PTSD, she was at school when the large one hit. She hates them now.

Jack, this really isn't the time or place for anger. You don't even live here. There has been loss of life
and there will probably be physical and property trauma here as well.
The weather doesn't know about the "instant gratification" society we have
become. Man is not able to affect or tell nature/climate/weather/Dorian what and when to act.
This entire thread has been about patience, study and reaction to a force greater than
ourselves. WE are the ones in the position of planning and adapting to HER, not the other
way around.
It's been explained why Dorian has stalled. Do you not understand the process?
You have the right to complain and/or say whatever you feel like. It's America.
I'm just suggesting your timing is off. Right now we need to try and be a bit more
encouraging. OK? :cool:
