We're still in the Cone of Doom, but just barely. <br /><br />Dorian is a small storm - I've seen hurricanes in the same basic location as where Dorian is now and the outflow clouds went from Georgia to the Keys. Dorian's about a quarter of that! <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-88045098694705078032019-08-31T17:09:39.634-04:002019-08-31T17:09:39.634-04:00Phew!

If Dorian hits that, she/he/it could bankshot up the east coast and Florida will be spared, whilst Doom settles on Obama's new digs...<br /><br />Wait, that may not be a problem... nah, there's other people besides him/her/it and her/him/it.<br /><br />1 day forecast. That's all you can trust. Last year, or was it 2 years ago..., a storm was supposed to roll over Gainesville, so next-door neighbor bugged to her parent's house in Ft. Myers... Oops.<br /><br />And meteorologists expect us to believe they know what the world's weather will be like in 50 to 100 years from now...<br /><br />Still, yeah, prep and batten. Sucks that this came at the end of the month which is a financial squeeze for a lot of people on retirement.
