Hurricane Dorian

Cannot imagine the damage being done on the island of Grand Bahama given it is sitting underneath a Cat5 hurricane moving at only 1mph. The sustained winds for such a long duration must be levelling everything.

Yep, this is a complete nuking. Basically no steering and virtually no forward motion. Dorian has basically stalled. Anyone not in a elevated concrete structure within the inner eye wall would be in life threaten situation at this point.

There's a point on the island of Grand Bahama that has been inside the eye for seven hours :/

The airport becomes the sea. That is some storm surge. Dorian has barely moved overnight.

Still stationary between 2 ridges waiting to hitch a ride from a trough. To be in the inner eyewall of a cat 5 to 4 U.S scale hurricane for this length of time is something I've never seen. The damage is going to be off the scale.

Ryan Maue had an interesting observation in the last hour relating to cool water upwelling, which would weaken a cyclone. "Hurricane #Dorian is stationary just north of Grand Bahama Island where the water depth is very shallow ... only 6-10 feet deep beneath the eye. Typically cold water is mixed up from below but that's not going to happen since there is none "

Looking at this initial video (I assume taken while the eye was overhead), it seems more like something you would see with major tsunami damage. No structure standing, car wrecks in unusual locations. EF3 tornadic winds from the mesovortices and 15 to 25+ foot storm surge for over a day. Hard to imagine really. Anyone who wasn't in an elevated shelter would not survive that type of onslaught.

Havent heard yet of any death toll, looking at the damage surely people didn't wait it out in there homes

Dorian currently cat 2 with a ragged eye. Has moved slightly more concerningly NW than recent model guidance with tropical storm force winds now impacting Florida.

Maximum Winds: 95 kt Gusts: 115 kt
Minimum Central Pressure: 959 mb

Dorian starting to look like a cat 3 major hurricane again on radar. Shut off eyewall.

Latest air recon has dropped pressure to near 950 hpa.

Dorian regains major category hurricane status and is now a cat 3. The gulf stream refueled the beast and defied the NHC forecast. Carolina's in the hit zone.

From Wednesday, August 28, through Monday, September 2, the information provided by NOAA and the National Hurricane Center to President Trump and the wider public demonstrated that tropical-storm-force winds from Hurricane Dorian could impact Alabama. This is clearly demonstrated in Hurricane Advisories #15 through #41

One of the Canadian chasers I chased with in 2016 (the other Kiwis I was with in 2018 met him in Lamar CO at a motel). travelled down to Morehead City NC to intercept, here's one of his videos:

I see from the Canadian government weather site that Hurricane Dorian will make landfall near Halifax Nova Scotia in a few hours with 7 0knot winds .Hurricane statements have been issued which make interesting reading

Interesting, haven't noticed an uprise in noise in the US Based stormchasing community I participate in, in fact I've noticed a few comments to the contrary, seemed to support the President, unfortunate that he was using NOAA info not NWS and it was out of date.

Ok, so I've been out a few hours and I look at the NZ Weather Forum before Facepalm etc....

LOL at The Don.jpg

It seems things may have changed in the last couple of hours

Dorian made landfall on Nova Scotia at 7:15pm ADT (10:15pm GMT) on Saturday evening and gave some high gusts to coastal areas. Highest I can find from Environment Canada sites are:

90mph at Beaver Island
89mph at Sluce Point
88mph at Osborne Head
85mph at Grand Etang

These sites are all in Nova Scotia. Approx 1/2million customers were without power at one time and 100mm+ of rainfall to some.
