Tracking TS Dorian
- Thread starter Stretch
- Start date
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?
I'm not angry. I'm just seeing this as a hurricane that has spent it's energy in the Bahamas ... and is now forecast to head North, 100 miles off the coast of Florida. Am I reading this wrong?
I admit, anything can happen. It could jump across Florida, increase to Cat 5, and hit New Orleans.
We just didn't need the sarcasm and berating people for preparing for it, ie long gas lines, nothing burger, etc.
as though we've been wasting our time. If a weather event in FL and SE coast doesn't interest you unless it becomes
catastrophic, then don't follow it.
It's a hurricane. They change. My original post pretty much nailed the track. We didn't figure on the stall.
There's a HP to the E right now which will help to continue steering her N Thursday. IMO the eye MIGHT
finally make her 1st U.S. landfall in or near Charleston, SC.

Dry air from the W is impacting the rainfall at present in outer bands; it's a bit less.
That dry air enters at the mid level of Dorian causing it to expand the outer bands further to the W over land.
Watch for any change in the 8pm alert.
Hurricane warnings still up for coast.

Yes sir. I did not panic and am very happy I didn't. I get two paid days off in the middle of the week. I bought a little water, some gas and D batteries but that was it. Didn't break the bank or foolishly hit the road.

This is why people DON'T leave. EVERY time it's "We're all Gonna Die. Run for your Lives!". 'Mandatory Evacuation!'
During Katrina, the Mayor, the Police, the First Responders, ... they ALL left. THAT'S when you start thinking about leaving.

Yes it is. I've been through this enough and it plays out the same way every time. Being cool headed and informed pays off.
I've been watching on WPLG this beautiful volunteer effort of private businesses and churches in Miami. There are
people with planes and vessels (privately owned and companies) ready to move out with supplies tomorrow.
A couple of medivac planes as well have already departed from Miami a couple hours ago.
And, of course the U.K. has begun their effort..............
