ATL: DORIAN - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[plasticup]

Also no water expect Coconut Water.

When even the coconut water AND the hot dog buns are gone, there is cause for concern!

I went to the Costco yesterday for my (ir)regular Weds/Thurs run. Was thinking as I drove there that I would top off my tank (not yet for Dorian .. just because it's $0.04/gallon cheaper) and when I got there, there was a 45 minute line for gas. And a sign out the door "we're out of bottled water." Glad I bought bottled water back in May when you're supposed to. I use it at work if no 'canes.

FYI your tap water is still available. No need for people to buy anything; they can just fill some containers.

Much bigger CDO from this current tower.

I have moved some posts that have model information that moved to the proper models thread.

Correctomundo. In 58 years of hurricanes, I've never once not had access to clean water from the tap. Always filled a milk jug or three just in case of "boil water." Heck .. my first 35+ years, the thought of PAYING for water IN A BOTTLE would have been laughed at.

WFTV stated that it is possible Brevard County will do a MANDATORY evacuation for EVERY ONE EAST of 95...Which is where I am..I can't imagine the traffic

Times change. I get a half pallet of bottled water delivered every June 1st. Easy. Done.

From my recollection, when storms slow down in forward speed, it mostly leads to a change of direction to northerly. It is also my perception that strong storms seem to gain latitude.

The EURO is showing an arrival in S central peninsula about the same place as one day earlier. The differences with the latest model is the intensity at landfall is 20mb lower at 00z tuesday and it takes an abrupt right turn and takes about two days to exit Fl west of Kingsland Ga. The 12Z GFS seems to be about 50 miles south on landing in Fl from its previous run(!) with landing on Monday. It appears to be heading across the state when it crosses over the EURO plot takes a right and heads NW up 75. Exits Fl above lake city on Wednesday. My point is it seems both the EURO and GFS concur about a landing on the Peninsula one day apart south of Cape C. Both head up the interior of the state, one day apart, with the earlier arriving GFS making its way farther west. Both passings will drop copious amounts of rain in NE Fl as their intensity wanes over land with either of these passes. Neither seems to show a precuser of an OTS run, but it is now 4 days to make more corrections!

Frances back in 2004 slowed down to a crawl in the middle of the Northwestern Bahamas as it was feeling the western periphery of the Bermuda High, even after it went on to make a landfall along Floridas East Coast and cross the entire state and went into the eastern panhandle. Not saying Dorian will do the exact same but it just a thought.

I had a brand new 10 foot hole in my roof courtesy of Charley. I remember Frances' SLOW 12-18 hour trek across Florida (and my house) all too well. Then, Jeanne did almost the same thing. Happened twice in 2004.

Florida is the state with more tropical cyclone landfalls in the US, isn't it?

[TheStormExpert]

Anyone heard from Wxman57? Interested to see his take on Dorian as of now.

Well, off to find a generator. May still be able to get lucky at costco. You never know. I just want to run the freezer and fridge and if possible dehumidifier. .. Think a 3500 unit can run that?

My dog won't even drink tap water. In tastes like chlorine

So we are flying into Orlando on Wednesday, the 4th (Disney). Will this hurricane be out by then? I don't want to jump the gun and cancel our trip or move it. It has been planned for some time now. Flying from Houston to Orlando.

And here I thought a week ago, I'd be focusing mostly today on final planning for the evening's fantasy football draft! Sheesh

Also the Glacier and Pure Water stations at most grocery stores can be used to fill up containers with drinking water. Particularly if you don’t like your tap water. This might be a good option as the bottled water runs out.

Your vacation is screwed. Don’t come here.

Wobble-watching (during an EWRC to boot), but the four passes from the recon mission that is now ending each had a bit of a turn to the right. 338 degrees at 12kts overall from the first to the fourth.

Generally it is east of US 1. Maybe they were mistaken.

Still fighting with dry air, how much time left before conditions improve?

The current NHC track is within miles of WDW on the 3rd... Even if the storm has passed WDW could be closed, damaged, or at a minimum lot of things not up and running by then. If I had a WDW trip anytime next week I would cancel or change it if possible to a later date.

It doesn't look very good, the storm could still be over Florida by Tue/Wed and the impacts from a Cat 3/4 would definitely last for weeks.

If you want to wait an extra day to see what happens then that's fine, but if things don't change by tomorrow then I would move the date.
