"This is the worst hurricane ever! We’ve been waiting for it to arrive for like a month now!
First, we were told its nothing to worry about, then they said pay attention as it could be something. Then we were told it’s coming, not coming, could be coming, probably coming, definitely coming, not coming, small chance it’s coming, it shifted, shifted back, shifted again, it’s totally coming, not coming....and then they said we just don’t know.
We were told to evacuate, don’t evacuate. Your gonna flood, might get some rain, might not get any rain, you might get nothing. We just don’t know.
It’s a tropical storm, cat 1, cat 2, cat 3, cat 4, cat 5 and now it’s a turbo cat 5 and the biggest storm ever.
You’re in the cone but don’t worry, you’re out of cone but still worry, we moved the cone, if your in the cone you could be out of the cone, if your out of the cone you could be in the cone. We just don’t know.
It’ll strike South Florida, Central Florida, Gulf Coast, North Coast, West Coast, South cCoast, North Florida, South Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina...it might eventually destroy icebergs in Greenland and kill 4-leaf clovers in Ireland. We just don’t know
You might just get a breeze or it might blow your house off it’s foundation. It might not, but could, maybe, probably, small chance, big chance, little chance. We just don’t know.
We’ll know more on Friday, definitely know more on Saturday, for sure on Sunday, by Monday we will totally know, maybe Tuesday but definitely have answers on Wednesday. We don’t know when we will know.
I’ve eaten enough hurricane snacks and gained so much weight that I might just end up strapping my house to myself to secure it and wait for Dorian.”

Mother Nature is one thing you really can’t predict and surely can’t control. It has been a roller coaster of different predictions and news about this thing but I get it. Way to many different things can happen or change with the slightest drop in temps, wind change or a few hundred other things. I’ve eaten to many snacks watching this thing over the last week also, just keep hoping for the best.Seen earlier...

Walt Disney World will commonly open up one of their parking lots (commonly EPCOT) as a staging location for the prepositioned recovery equipment before a storm like this. Prior to Irma there were hundreds of power repair truck parked in the Epcot lot waiting for the storm to pass
edit: adding a photo of those truck at Epcot prior to Irma 2 years ago.

Be nice if they gave workers a pass and food voucher. Line workers do so much that take them away from their families at times.

Dorian is like the bad relative who comes to visit and never leaves. Down to 120 mph as of 5 am hopefully it will continue to weaken. I am sitting here in coastal SC just waiting and waiting for Dorian to make a move
The news today for the U.S. is much better than yesterday. It is down to a Category 3 and weakening. It should be a Category 2 by the 11AM update. That said it is still a strong storm but not the killer a 5 would have been. Those on the shore need to be concerned about flooding and some power outages but if everyone listens and follows EMS recommendations no one should be hurt.
My prayers still go out to the people of the Bahamas. They suffered tremendously from Dorian and need our help. Please make generous contributions to those in need.

update from TBO
Hurricane Dorian barely inching over Bahama as four potential tropical systems emerge
Hurricane Dorian is still pounding Bahama as a category three while forecasters monitor several other developing systems.www.tampabay.com
The tropics early Tuesday appear a shell game of convection.
A total of five areas, including the category 3 Hurricane Dorian, are being monitored across the Atlantic, with most headed in different directions.
The one in the Gulf is the one I'm keeping an eye on.
Andrew stalled, but not for days. This storm has been battering the Bahamas since late Saturday.

According to The National Hurricane Center web site (NOAA) the storm in the Gulf is moving west and will go into Mexico. The storm coming off Africa is the next one to worry about.

I know. That is terribly sad.
I know they likely will say that they can't do it, but wouldn't it be nice if one of those cruising cities from Disney or Royal Caribbean or the others takes a week off (reschedule someone's Bahamas cruise) and instead takes the ship down to the Bahamas when the storm is over and becomes a temporary shelter for at least a week while those who lost everything begin to pick up the pieces? They would be "giving back" to a community that normally provides them a great attraction for tourist stops.
