Dorian is now a hurricane. Report in the USVI of 82 mph sustained and wind gusts of 111 mph!! Stay safe, everyone! SXM looks to have gotten off pretty easily on this one though.

The weather channel is live now. Dorian over USVI and BVI now. Will continue on to affect Puerto Rico later this evening. Strengthening now. Center northwest of St Thomas now.
East Coast more so and even Gulf Coast Florida need to be on alert in case - expecting a cat 2 or cat 3 strength by then.
Puerto Rico now anxious and preparing. Many homes there still covered with tarps.
Pray everyone is ok.

thanks. Sent Eric out to get gas for the gen this morning. We'll see what the forecast is later before we decide to board up. The current track is about the worst case scenario for us. But of course we have a while to go yet.

Carol, I just checked that website someone listed here and when I watched it this morning there's something about a high pressure coming from the north east that will bother and determine how storm travels. Could hit near Pt Lucie and go across FLA to panhandle and even to LA or skirt up coast skimming lots of FL and into GA, SC. It's very informative, not just carribean. Son in Parrish, FL is now watching. You are in our prayers. www.tropicaltidbits.com

deputy--I don't think you, in Sarasota, are in any real danger from this one. One model shows storm entering Florida then crossing state, exiting near Deputy and on to panhandle and possibly Mississippi and/or Louisiana.

bran--the latest track brought the d*mn thing to within about 10 miles of our house, as either a cat 1 or a cat 2, so that's about all I need to know for now..

bran--we're quite a bit inland, so it will be lesser here than at the coast. I know everything may well change in 4 days, but just saying that currently it's the worst case scenario for us, so we are trying to prepare for that..

The track has moved a bit further south this morning. Good news for us, not so good for those in south Florida.

11 AM is REALLY different than before. Almost at West Palm and going straight up the coast of Florida, almost.. Wow. Good for us, but REALLY bad for Florida...

Appears that Dorian will not score a direct hit on Florida. Most recent model has it staying off the coast and heading north. Central Florida will be spared.
The direct hit seems to be around Charleston SC. Hopefully it will continue to curve out to sea.
