Hurricane Dorian
 

Still a ways out for those in the Eastern US but NOAA forecast right now is excess of 110MPH at landfall.....Happy Labor Day!

Ah, the last that I saw it was still a TS.

I heard that they were putting it making landfall in N FL.

I'd be perfectly happy if it did one of those moves where it curved off to the northeast before it hit FL. I've got a bunch of family about 100 miles south of you.

Exactly, I'm shooting for one of the two green TABx tracks on the North side!

they say cat 3 at landfall in central fla

I predict cat 4 in palm beach

looks like PR is catching a break

I hope they DO catch a break. They could use it.

I was getting a bit worried about my friends in the Turks. Previous predictions had it passing directly through there...after PR

I bet this thing crosses Florida, gets in to the gulf and hits us direct. Our rainfall this year has been unbelievable.

I just hate these things. Lets see how the new roof from the last hurricane holds up. Sure hope it tracks to the north.

Here is a great web page that puts all the info in one place.

I hate watching The Weather channel or any local TV station they are all making people freak out.

I am already seeing people running around with Plywood and at the gas stations filling up gas cans.

/\ /\ /\ I don't. We just a new roof too!

I agree with the weather channel deal. Too much hype...just like they did the snow storms up north.

I put a new metal roof on 4 years ago, I had them re-deck before putting it on too.

I am about 100 miles south of the projected landfall, if it stays in the Cape Canaveral area.

I will look again tomorrow, as of right now I am not even bothering to shutter up.

If they tell you to shutter up....shut up & shutter up ;).

Best to you guys....stay safe!

Why not, Make sure it hits where it will do the most damage! SmileWavy

Missed opportunity to test your new roof.........................

Batten down the hatches Baz.

I'll take the path less traveled.

Cat 3 with landfall in north Georgia.

Piece o crap Dorian. The initial tracks were out to Atlantic, far from the coast, and weakening.

Now this. Gonna start prepping shutters tomorrow.

Our youngest son lives in Orlando , already texted him to get his supplies in order . Stay safe out there .

Just got back in from a provision run. My Mom stopped driving last December so I pick up provisions for her too.

All bottled water gone and all gas stations with lines and people jockeying for position. No friction though - everyone cool. Couple of the pumps had the yellow bags on them - meaning no more fuel from that pump.

I topped up the truck with regular and then got another 12 gallons in non-ethanol in several fuel cans for my generator, if needed. That should last me a couple days easily, which is probably all I would need if our power went out.

We have our own utilities company here and they are very responsive.

I told Mom not to worry - if it looks bad enough, I would come get her and bring her over to my place for the duration.

Should know a lot more by Friday.

Best of luck to all......and please keep us posted as necessary.
