Are you referring to me? Did you watch the footage? IT'S A LOOP.
I didn't say it's fake. I said: It's NOT LIVE.
And I questioned that if it were 168 mph, there'd be tons of debris flying around. Which there would be. I'd guess it was recorded earlier in the day, and posted as "live."
Watch the loop, and check the refocus. It starts the loop. Use your eyes. Anyone who watches it for 5 min can see that. Did you watch it? I'm guessing you didn't. It's obvious.
The refocus, then palm flop and then white plywood fly by are very easy to see. Over and over again.

Observation. It's part of science. /shrug/
Gotta wake up man, not much will be left with gust over 200mph. After the storm is over you will see the damage.
This buoy is just west of Freeport. That's about 100 miles west of Marsh Harbor. This buoy should start seeing trop storm force winds (39-74 mph = 45-85 kts) as the eye makes landfall, if wind predictions are correct. Trop storm force winds are supposed to be 105 miles from the eye.
Sunday 9/1:
11 am wind speed is 21 knots
12 pm wind speed is 23 knots
*Confirmed landfall at 12:40 pm in Abaco*
1 pm wind speed is 22 kts
2 pm wind speed is 26 kts

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 PM EDT (1800 UTC), the extremely distinct eye of Hurricane
Dorian was located near latitude 26.5 North, longitude 77.1 West.
Dorian is moving toward the west near 7 mph (11 km/h). A slower
westward motion should continue for the next day or two, followed by
a gradual turn toward the northwest. On this track, the core of
extremely dangerous Hurricane Dorian will continue to pound Great
Abaco today and the move near or over Grand Bahama Island tonight
and Monday. The hurricane should move closer to the Florida east
coast late Monday through Tuesday night.
Maximum sustained winds are near 185 mph (295 km/h) with higher
gusts. Dorian is a extremely dangerous category 5 hurricane on the
Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Some fluctuations in intensity
are likely, and Dorian is expected to remain a catastrophic
hurricane during the next few days.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140
miles (220 km).
The minimum central pressure measured by both NOAA and Air Force
reconnaissance plane was 911 mb (26.90 inches).
No change in track, still stays off the coast.
