Hurricane Dorian gains fury but might skirt Florida coast

Hurricanes move like this ALL the time.
They certainly make sharp turns. they make u-turns.

The cone indicates where the storm may go and they use this cone every time there is a hurricane that threatens land.
I guess you just dont live in hurricane territory or just dont follow these storms but the cone is a tool they always use.

I was in your neighborhood back in 74. We stayed at the Princess Kaiulani near Waikiki beach. I think its still there.
Beautiful place you got there.

Have you ever experienced a direct hit from a hurricane?
I am on the east coast and they are a regular occurance here.

You live in Hawaii too?
Lucky.

I hear its expensive to live there.

When Andrew hit in 92 everything was destroyed.
We had an influx of Air Force personnel here at Langley because Homestead was leveled.
I made a fortune selling furniture to families who had lost everything.

We say send the dog out. If he comes back wet its raining.

Here too. High pressure, deep blue cloudless skies and low humidity have made the past week a dream after the hot humid summer we just had.
Today there are more clouds and its getting muggy again.

I'm gonna just assume you are joking about HAARP.

Langley is quiet this morning.
You know thats not quite normal. I do not think I heard them go out this morning for training.
They leave every morning at five, and again at seven, and return at eight and ten.
And its quiet up there. I should hear them any minute now.
Will update.

You should be able to find a flood map online.
Landfalling storms have flooded cities well inland.
Floyd was a serious rain event here in Virginia and Franklin, a city well inland was under water by seven feet.

Lots of photos.

Sure you do that..... if you can get past being sandblasted on the beach.

Hey its a great exfoliator for the feet why not the whole body?

a reply to: Irishhaf

We live at the beach because the heat and humidity inland makes Virginia impossible to live in.
You cant stay outside for very long. At the beach there is almost always a breeze.

I'm not on the sand. The water is a block to my west with the river and about a mile to the east with the bay and about a half mile to the south also the bay. I am on a peninsula. Norfolk is across the river from me.

I have had a flooded basement from rain but never has a tide affected my house. The river came up to about 200 feet from my door with Isabel but did not get us. But there were ghost crabs on my lawn.

Okay what happened here?

Did you guys evacuate or something? LOL

By that time the storm will be downgraded to a cat one or two. Bermuda should be able to handle that.

Stable genius.

Here in coastal Virginia we say if you want to live near the water you have to expect to sometimes live in the water.

Me too. Lived on the coast all my life and experienced my first hurricane when I was only three.
I remember the storm. Hurricane Donna hit Queens in NYC in the summer of 1960. It took down the only tree our apartment building had in the yard. even at three years old that is a memorable vision.
My mothers clothes line was attached to that tree.
