We parked our boat in St Augustine which looks to be well north of where it is going to hit land.... but this asshole hurricane wants to run right up the coast after it makes landfall.
It keeps shifting. Hard to say exactly this far out.

The NW Bahamas are about to be completely wiped out.

Dorian is now CAT5 with 175 mph sustained winds (CAT5 starts at 157 mph). Bahamas are also expected to get 24" of rain with 15-20 foot storm surge. 30-40 waves as well.

It's not looking good for them. Scary shit. Hoping the current tracks hold and it stays offshore, but prepared regardless.

Mother of god. 24" of rain? Isn't this where @remydat lives or atleast his family?
That storm surge is arguably the most dangerous part. Hopefully people evacuated from those areas.

This is almost certainly total and catastrophic loss for the NW Bahamas.

185mph, 220mph gusts. Officially now down to 911mb.

Would not be surprised if hundreds die.
