Damn looking at Ventusky latest update on the projection map and it's gigantic, sure hope all take it serious and evacuate in time.

Looks like Kennedy Space Center is going to take the worst hit with the North side of the eye wall pushing the largest storm surge and highest winds down the throats of the NASA folks.

For the first time I am glad to no longer have a lab there. Never did get that thing open. I do however feel terrible for all the folks there who are gonna suffer if they don't get out today. Like right now.

Printimus, are you a AG?

Ha! I wish! No, I used to be an AT for the P-3C Orion before I separated. The flight suit and heli helmet I got from a good friend that was aircrew for helos.

Dorian now down to a Cat 4 with 155mph winds.

Dorian almost sitting on Grand Bahama atm. Moving west at the slowest possible speed of 1mph.

Well..... out with the old P-3, in with the new hotness of P-8 Poseidon.

heard nothing but bad things about the P8 from crews

i've heard mixed things.

I question how well a turbofan aircraft can effectively drop sonobuoys and prosecute a slow moving submarine

A lot more effective than a turbo-prop.

 

[Black Sunder]

Dorian still a Cat 4 but weakened to 140mph due to its nearly stationary sitting. It it also spreading out more and cooling the water with rain. But Grand Bahamas wishes it was gone.

 

[Black Sunder]

Dorian still weakening. Now 120mph. But its still sitting near Grand Bahama.

Called it.

Well I hope it either peters out soon or moves on, I have to go to florida on friday. Not to disrespect the people down there in the middle of it, naturally.

 

[Black Sunder]

Dorian now a Cat 2 but still not moving much. Grand bahama has been almost half wiped out.

Yellow is where the island was before Dorian.

 

[Printimus]

Glad to hear its winding down. That is horrific about the grand bahamas.

Since I live close to Daytona I have taken this opportunity to wash the car. The beauty of it all is I only need a bucket/sponge,some soap and a pair of shorts to enjoy nature at its finest helpful moment. Stay safe out there gang!
