Be safe for those who are in the path of the hurricane.

Thank you sir. Let's hope it stays far enough of the coast so there's as little impact as possible for those folks in FL, GA, SC & NC.
My prayers go out to the folks in the Bahamas. Latest was Cat 5 as it goes across. That's F3 tornado wind speeds covering a very large area.

 

[tripplej]

yes, It is officially Cat 5 according to various news outlets.

I hope people evacuate if you are in the path..

Hope all in the path are out of the way and safe. That's a serious storm there.

I believe they've downgraded it to a cat 4, but that's still bad.

 

[tripplej]

Yeah, it went down to cat 4 since it is stationary now. Basically, it is just staying in one place due to pressure from top and bottom. Can't go anywhere and the longer it remains stationary, the more likely it will break up since it needs warm water to get power and move on. We shall see how long it stays in it's current position.

Hurricane Dorian is now a CAT 2 hurricane and is now hitting Florida.

Be safe folks

My fellow Floridians caught a huge break with this storm. I wish the same for all our neighbors to the north.

I was just watching footage of Abaco. It's a place we've enjoyed visiting. So beautiful and the people are super friendly.

I hope you'll join me in picking a charity to help with recovery and rebuild. Here's a great article that details some of the charities that are poised to help:

That's what I watched... it's heartbreaking. I can see places I've been completely destroyed and underwater. Those folks need help

 

[tripplej]

Prayers and help are definitely needed that is for sure..

The hurricane is not done yet thou.

Still more to come from Dorian and the damages it will do on the mainland U.S.

Stay safe people..
