ATL: DORIAN - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[Highteeld]

So how deep is that water?

Landfall imminent

[AutoPenalti]

I hope Jim Edds who went to Elbow Cay thinking that the eye was going to go north of him not thinking that it would go directly over him is OK and alive, the eye right over the Cay right now, he has not reported on twitter in over 3 hours now.

Are my eyes playing with me or has that slowed down considerably...?

160 knot landfall makes it the 2nd strongest land falling storm in recorded history, no?

Tied strongest in Atlantic only behind Haiyan and Meranti worldwide.

*the* strongest, tied with the Labor Day hurricane.

Haiyan at 165 should be the record

I hope Tolakram posts a high definition satellite image...

I want to capture it and save it...

I never thought I would live to see Labor Day 35 matched. There are no words.

Sorry, meant as far as the Atlantic goes -- 2nd overall behind Haiyan in 2013.

That youtube 'live feed' I posted was a loop someone posted to get hits. Sorry about that.

What a day. The Bahamas will not forget this. Hopefully everyone is staying as safe as possible out there.

Latest advisory has Dorian moving at 8mph instead of 7mph now still due west...I thought it was supposed to slow down? I feel like a 1mph change can make a difference here.

Better hope it starts a wnw direction change soon.

So it can still get the record with all the other landfalls that he has left to make.

Hurricane Dorian’s max potential has been realized... this is a very scary situation for the Bahamas. I never thought I’d see it reach anywhere near this intensity

It would soon have to start moving NW to get to where these models say he is going to go, he is moving WSW right now, I know just barely but he is moving south of west.

you sure? still on path to go over the Gulf Stream...

What a 25ft storm surge can do to the Abaco Islands. All area in green would be inundated

Why do you say he has reached it's max potential, there is still really nothing to hinder or reduce him in the near future, he still has the Gulf Stream to get additional energy.

Does anyone have a link they will share to closeup satellite loops with latitude and longitude lines? I've been googling like crazy and can't find any although I've seen a few loops posted here as attachments. Thanks in advance.

According to recon it's still moving west at 8 mph. Don't see much change there. If it doesn't slow
down and turn more north over night, all hell is going to break loose.
