The water from New Smyrna down to Melbourne/Spessard Park is a giant washing machine today. Is anybody down at Vero Beach?

Whatever anyone does, do not listen to the 24/7 coverage on News 96.5 WDBO Orlando. They are a sensationalist news source in the regular times and are all about fear mongering right now.

That's so despicable.

Not quite as awesome as when Jim Cantore kneed the college kid in the groin during a hurricane broadcast.

I thought I would post this satellite imagery from today showing the massive outflow from Dorian today (look for anticyclonic motion and outward flowing thin cirrus clouds - particularly visible in the northeast quadrant).

getting some weather here in tampa

Here too but it's been that way all week. I don't think we're getting hurricane dregs yet. Supposed to see something maybe tonight early AM.
EDIT: Just looked at the radar above and I guess we could be getting some of those outlying edges.

Test Track is painful in a light drizzle.

So true! We had to ride it in the rain. Storms were all around. It looked like there was a break so they let us on. I guess there was another cloud burst while we were inside. Try taking a shower at 65 mph. It was painful!

BAHAHAHAHA

The man takes on cat 5s. Idiotic frat boy? Piece of cake. Don't mess with the Can.

those college of charleston *****

Can't stand CoC trash.

Haven't vetted the source, but here is something that might be from somewhere on Grand Bahama.


Also, here's another snapshot from yesterday from a hurricane hunter:


And this from one of the Saturday to Sunday overnight runs:

After viewing that video of him in his house I was thinking to myself I would be so out of there. Then I realized what I was thinking and it’s to late. Just wow that’s scary!

DCL is reporting on their updates page that the Castaway Cay never sustained more than Tropical Force winds and that CMs are now back in their living quarters. Good news for the CC CMs.

Castaway Cay - UPDATED

Many of our Guests have asked questions about Castaway Cay. Some of our Crew remained on the island and their care and safety is our highest priority. As forecasted, sustained winds on the island did not extend beyond tropical force strength and our Crew has returned to their living quarters after spending a few hours in our storm shelter yesterday. Our thoughts continue to be with the people in areas of The Bahamas that are being impacted by this storm and we stand ready to contribute to recovery efforts.

Are there any outdoor rides that would be open in those kinds of winds?

Soarin...the outside experience

Are there any outdoor rides that would be open in those kinds of winds?

Most of the outside rides close during the typical afternoon thunderstorm.

Saw on Twitter that Tink's line is removed from the Castle. How often does that happen???? I don't remember from past years.

Yes, it’s removed.

Other areas of the park are being protected now too. If HEA runs tonight it’ll be missing a few things.

Expect official announcements shortly about the current plan for this week operations wise.

I imagine Dorian will also impact HHN which is supposed to have its employee preview night on Wednesday before Friday's official start.

 

[LuvWDW2]

Yes, it’s removed.

No HEA tonight. It’s a MNSSHP night

 

[celluloid]

Parks likely to announce closure tomorrow. The conference call between the big parks are all underway waiting to make this big descision. Osceola County has apparently announced a mandatory curfew for Tomorrow(Tuesday) night from 11pm until Weds 6am.

Aha.
