News Major Hurricane Dorian impacts to Walt Disney World 2019

[WDW862]

I think that's becoming more and more likely.
Fingers crossed.

A Florida impact is much better than a North/South Carolina impact. We're much better equipped than them.

It's a terrible situation for anyone in the South East

 

[WDW862]

Wow he sounds like a real winner. Way more reliable than the actual experienced local weather folks

The only person I listen to is Levi

 

[WDW862]

He has an incredible reputation. Accurately forecast Harvey and much much more.

Tropical Tidbits or bust

 

[FigmentForver96]

Storm still Cat 3, but 125 mph.

This thing, whether it makes landfall, will be a monster. Side note, what is with the media consistently saying that this could be the worst storm to hit Florida in years? The one gentlemen on TWC did correct himself, stating he meant the east coast but they are not the only one. I have seen multiple articles stating how Dorian is one of the most dangerous storms to hit in years. Did Michael just get forgotten and why does it keep happening? Back when Berry hit New Orleans, Al Roker stayed Michael was a 3 maybe a 4. Idk anyway rant over as I’ve been reading these dumb articles

But he's in space city. In space.

I would not say nil. Less damaging yes, nil no.

Agree. It's approximately 70 miles from WDW to Cocoa Beach. If tropical storm force winds extend out 100 miles from the eye, Disney will feel the effects.

 

[WDW862]

Please note that the hurricane can hit anywhere in the cone. The margin of error this far out is high. Anyone in the Southeast should be prepared for a terrible storm. Unless you're a evacuee, don't visit the resort.

They hype up all the hurricanes like that lol.

Yeah, that's puzzling. Michael hit AS a Cat 5, rather than weakening as it approached land, as most storms tend to do.

I'm up in Tallahassee. We've got a run on gas up here.

FHP just said it will escort tankers to South Florida.

I have a near full tank (fortunately). Just driving too

Pretty much.

 

[WDW862]

Now a Cat 4 storm.

Cat 5 within 12 hours. I'm calling it.

What is with the media consistently saying that this could be the worst storm to hit Florida in years?

They say that every single time. Hurricane Matthew was so hyped up it was unbelievable. Rick Scott said it would be the worst hurricane for Florida in 100 years. I remember the weather channel having a hard time finding damage and did their on location reporting in front of a snapped tree branch. No joke.

 

[LAKid53]

Mandatory evacuations in Brevard County. If you live in that county, please leave.

 

[BoarderPhreak]

If the hurricane hugs the coast and rides up, that's possibly the worst case scenario. Over water, it'll have an endless supply where the outer bands will neatly dump it all over Florida at 140mph. At least if it made landfall it would weaken.

People in NE FL were still recovering from Matthew when Irma hit - my roof still hadn't been repaired. So the Weather Channel just wasn't looking in the right places.

So which Waffle Houses are closing?

I live in Savannah and, although I have hoped for a turn away from Florida, each new advisory looks worse and worse for us. We have only been brushed over the years and Matthew was the worst. Trees down all over and the city was blocked off for re-entry for 5 days. I also went through Hugo but I was only 5 at the time so I don't remember much. But I know for a fact that even a near miss by a storm of this strength is going to devastate this area.

Here's hoping this thing takes a spin out to sea and spares us all category 4 devastation. If not let's just hope for the best!
