Had a few squall lines come through at my locale near the beach today, most recent one just came through, I estimate gusts in the 35-40mph range.

And if it comes in closer to the coast you can probably add a foot or 2 on top of that, and that is if he doesn't re-intensify.

We really need to keep the Bahama’s in our prayers and any others that might be effected. The devastation on some areas is just numbing. But they are strong and will recover. Pray for their continued strength.

Also pray the missing will be found safe or if not, their bodies will be recovered.

[NC George]

So what is happening with all the universities that are being or going to be effected by Dorian???

I know Bethune-Cookman cancelled their game for Saturday, but what about the others, ECU, CCU and all the others???
