Already Category 3, expected to crawl up Florida coast, maximizing damage.

Holy shit, storm surge of 5-7m in bahamas and sustained winds of 295 km/h, gusting up to 350 km/h.

Never been, but Wiki says:

Geography of the Bahamas
The Bahamas consists of a chain of islands spread out over some 500 miles in the Atlantic Ocean, located to the east of Florida in the United States.....All the islands are low and flat, with ridges that usually rise no more than 15 to 20 m

If the ridges are 15m above sea level, how much of the land is under water during a 7m storm surge? Has to be most of it.

storm surges far less than that are devastating

[ExtraSlow]

Yeah. Shit could get crazy in the next 48 hours for the North East side of Florida, Georgia and then the Carolina's. I don't have any idea how far out fro the storm centre the surges go. I would assume they are worst at the middle anyway.

Anyone who complains about Calgary's weather, at least we don't have this.

I was considering a disney cruise to Castaway Cay this february too. Shit might be trashed.

The Mouse will fix that up much faster than any other infrastructure. I'll bet the towns and cities are still fucked, but Castaway will be rebuilt asap.

Looks like Florida will be a swing and a miss.

How far out from the center do damaging winds and storm surges go?

[mzdspd]

I am going to Nova Scotia and flying in on Saturday early morning. Sounds like the hurricane may be hitting Nova Scotia mid afternoon on Saturday. It will probably be a tropical storm by that time but it will definitely be cool to see the waves from the storm.

depends on where you are oriented with respect to the eye.

I am glad that I didn't give two weeks notice on my current job. I was supposed to start my new job in Bahams next week.

Went from a hurricane of biblical proportions to... just another Wednesday in Florida during Hurricane season.

Reminds me of this:

Fucking hell. Watching us news of Dorian at cat2 hitting rhe coast is painful. Looks like light rain. Need that bitch to be cat4+ for more entertainment.

Don’t worry. The electrical grid in the maritimes is made of crystal.

Any more than a light breeze and half the province will be out of power and it will be a pandemic.

Which dumb reporter did they stick in the middle of the fucking wind this time for the shock and entertainment value?
