as it goes up the coast, it will definitely hit areas that do have basements :p

Actually, we've been house hunting in FL and there are some basements available.
Maybe the hurricane will hit DC and make some improvements.

Sucks.. and I have a former co-worker who just moved to Jacksonville.. they're going to get slammed
Dorian now 185 mph wind speed. May get even stronger. Its a monster.
hurricanes grow stronger over warm water
Dorian is following the Gulf Stream up the coast
the Washington Post reports Dorian as a Category 5 storm now

If anyone ever wondered why this guy in Texas(me) likes doing Hurricane Watch its simply because as a Texan I like weather watching. Hurricanes are just big pieces of weather so they're fun to watch and make predictions. And 2nd I want our members to stay safe so if this helps even a little bit then mission accomplished. Also it bumps my post count.
All good reasons. I mean it beats a few other things you could talk about, and people might find something useful or important in it. I pay attention to the NOAA reports, but it's more passing attention these days, until it's something that can affect me or friends. It's fascinating though.

if it was a bit higher (like Bahama's level) it would most likely get picked up by the Gulf Stream and go riding all the way up the coast, dumping water all along the way.IF it goes up the coast...
They usually die down once they make landfall.
At this level, it could hit FL, go across, and then re-form as a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico--> that would probably be the worst scenario.
The next 24-48 hours are going to be really important to watch.
If that happens and @Jolly_Green_Giant thinks it will then oh boy the storm surge will be like a tsunami for Florida.

This is really bad. I have yet to see a track that shows it blow North and east back out to sea. Somoene is going to get dumped upon mightily.
Alright guys stay safe. Don't count on my prayers, no one will listen to them. But my thoughts are with you.
Dorian weakened to 165mph, but moving more toward the west than previously thought would be the case.
