I remember people using hatchets and other tools to break out of their attics onto their roofs during the flooding after Katrina...wouldn't surprise me to see this again, except the winds are still roaring while the water rises this time. Terrible situation.
You're not kidding...makes me now think part of the prep...like having a duffle bag at the door, is an
ax up in the attic!
And, No, I can not imagine 14 hours of this...beyond belief...what lasts this long???
And on a low sea level island!!!!! Oh man.
Like I said I am giving $$ to the best place.
Ok, the Bahamas is 5358 sq miles and 21 miles long.
I'm so outta touch I just looked this up, cuz wasn't sure. Boy, are they gonna need help.
The Bahamas never have been part of the United States.
It is an independent country that is part of the Commonwealth, having gained its
independence from Britain in 1973.
Could Dorian gain strength again once it is away from the Bahamas and moving so slow over warm water conditions?
Looks as though increasing wind shear by central / N FL and northward, proximity to land & pull of approaching trough will help keep that in check. NHC’s steadily weakening trend through this week matches model guidance as well.
Reminds me of the Jarrell Tornado. That was near stationary too and where a big tornado usually goes through a section of town in 20-30 seconds it lingered and took minutes to pass. Part of what caused the obscene destruction in that town.
This is not as intense as a major tornado, but also several hours rather than minutes.
You realize people are dying right? You think it's FUNNY???
No words. Have some more fun with this awesome cool amazing storm.
confusing post. The post you quoted isn't someone finding humor. This thread has been quite intelligent and helpful for those of us trying to wade thru all the info out there
The folks in the Bahamas have been dealing with major hurricane forced winds plus flooding without letting up for over a day straight in a storm that refuses to move. That's terrifying. Can only imagine the damage after Dorian moves north.
