DD10 wants to know how St. Augustine will hold up. (She's a bit obsessed with the place.) Is it less flood prone than say Jacksonville?

Unimaginable. These folks are in the eyewall for the entire hour represented below - and for hours before and after this...

This is why I questioned some of the earlier video. Landfall this morning was in an area that is still experiencing hurricane force winds now, and were experiencing hurricane force winds for hours before landfall as well. I don't know when anyone is going to be able to get video out of there, but it's not going to be anytime soon unless it's of the inside of a concrete bunker.

5 mph. In water of 90°+

Apparently, West Palm Beach will begin to feel tropical storm force winds starting about 5 hours from now.

I’m gonna “pray” for the water temperature to drop...

...and after that doesn’t work, everybody grab a bag of ice and meet me on Castaway Cay

The small positive aspect I read about the stall is that the water around the Bahamas is relatively shallow so a stalled Dorian will use up all the warmer surface water and upwelling will bring up cooler water from the depths. Of course, no one is sure of whether this effect will be large enough to have that much of an effect on Dorian, but it's something to hope for.

They’re in C. Not very comforting as they are surrounded by A. I’ll say this much: they live jist west of the St Johns River so they are inland but near water.

Time to make a trip 150 miles west to see their son?

Hoping the turn happens soon. It went from moving WNW to moving directly West. This isn't a good sign for Florida!

Hoping for a quick recover for the Bahamas. This Hurricane is only half way through for them.

They’re leaving their condo at Amelia Island tomorrow and headed back to the house in Jax. I’ve already had the conversation with them. But since they’ve been through Irma and Matthew they are inclined to stay. They feel they are sufficiently inland.

Fingers crossed they are correct.

It's a tad cloudy and windy there right now.
GFS says winds there (Castaway Cay) should be around 60 mph right now, continuing through until around 2 AM, then a slow decline to 50 mph sometime tomorrow afternoon and dropping off from there.

I hope Disney evacuated everyone from there. Do they have a reinforced concrete bunker?
