I didn't realize the Nat'l Hurricane Ctr, NHC, actually has Dorian as 'Stationary'....what? Sigh.
I don't think that's good.
Be careful where you donate. Haiti is the size of Massachusetts with about 10 million people. It "received" $13 billion in aid to rebuild. It should look like Palm Beach. It doesn't. Know if your money is actually going to help those in need. Friendly reminder.
You realize people are dying right? You think it's FUNNY???
No words. Have some more fun with this awesome cool amazing storm.
Relax, he certainly wasn't downplaying the danger or trying to be funny. He's providing excellent information about this storm, and you chose THAT post to flip out on?

Don't get your panties in a bunch . He has done more with Meteorology and map display than you have ever done in your life Bye the way ,,the map is acknowledging how long it will take to go up the Atlantic coast.

I'm starting a pool now over that map...i'm starting to believe it's entirely accurate....
Is the north turn happening or not? Need to cancel a couple events in Key Largo if it's not going to happen.
Nope but it will. At 5pm...

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM EDT (2100 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Dorian was located
near latitude 26.8 North, longitude 78.4 West. Dorian has become
nearly stationary this afternoon. A slow westward to west-
northwestward motion is expected to resume overnight and continue
into early Tuesday. A turn toward the northwest is forecast by late
Tuesday, with a northeastward motion forecast to begin by Wednesday
night. On this track, the core of extremely dangerous Hurricane
Dorian will continue to pound Grand Bahama Island into Tuesday
morning. The hurricane will then move dangerously close to the
Florida east coast late Tuesday through Wednesday evening and then
move dangerously close to the Georgia and South Carolina coasts on
Wednesday night and Thursday.
An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft has found that
maximum sustained winds are near 145 mph (230 km/h) with higher
gusts. Dorian is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale. Although gradual weakening is forecast,
Dorian is expected to remain a powerful hurricane during the next
couple of days.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles
(240 km). Sustained winds of 55 mph (89 km/h) with a gust to 69 mph
(111 km/h) was recently reported at a NOAA Coastal Marine observing
site at Settlement Point on the west end of Grand Bahama Island. A
wind gust of 43 mph (69 km/h) was reported at Opa Locka Airport
near Miami earlier this afternoon.
The latest minimum central pressure reported by an Air Force
Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is 940 mb (27.76 inches).
Models have a hard time projecting a stall like this especially 4+ days into the future.. That's why timing has been pushed back but they finally picked up the stall or slow turn days ago. This is nuts.
