I feel I have to bump this, that thunderstorm that just rolled through was wild

This is probably the most important news item on the Island today..

What the heck was that!

I'm at Mohegan. Major ice storm. Could play hockey on these craps tables.

Crazy, working from home in Huntington and it's sunny out. I could probably throw a football and hit Mohegan from here.

Drizzle and a strong breeze

Drizzle and a strong breeze

That's what I do in the bathroom at 2am after a night out drinking Heinekens and eating buffalo wings . Thanks for the report

truly unclear, likely tropical storm force conditions, outside chance of worse. storm is highly erratic and any jog to the west could bring more hardcore storm conditions to the coast, hard to see the crazy stuff making it to orlando tho. likely unpleasant but not entirely disruptive for orlando.

Have you guys seen the videos from the Abaco Islands and the Bahamas ? Total Devastation! The Weather Model guidance as of now is looking better for Florida than it did last evening but I wont trust any of it until Dorian begins to move the way they are suggesting

I'm here in the suburbs of Jacksonville, Fl and man alive. I hope the guys are right predicting a right turn because this thing is a monster

Even if it takes a right turn off the coast of Florida, Palm Beach County and points north are going to have to deal with winds maxing out at Tropical Storm force and heavy rain for 12-24 hours. Lots of potential for loss of power and damaged homes. This storm is a monster.

Got out of West Palm Beach Saturday morning. Had to drive as my flight was Monday and all other flights out were booked. Getting gas was also a problem as by Friday afternoon almost all gas stations were sold out.

 

[DalGoal4Cups]

West Palm Beach is going to be fine. Stuart, PSL and other cities further north east are under greater threat.

The Weather Channel is no longer a part of my TV package at home and hasn't been for years but I am in RI right now and have been watching the last few days of Dorian coverage while here. What years ago was a pretty sane and sober presentation reminiscent of Sgt. Friday on Dragnet ("Just the facts, ma'am.) is now so bad and over-hyped it is almost unwatchable. One of their on site "meteorologists" was on the beach in Miami yesterday with water in the background that was a little bit choppy with maybe foot and a half rollers and this knucklehead is saying "you can see the waves crashing down behind me!" while Jim Cantori is in Stuart marveling that the moderate chop in the Intercoastal where he was reporting from was being contained and calmed by a spillway designed to do exactly that. Not isolated cases. And every time they come back from commercial, dramatic and ominous music plays for about a minute before they get down to business. Ridiculous and terrible.

They're in the business of selling commercials, not broadcasting weather nor educating about the climate. They've been feeling the financial effects of cord cutting and weather apps.

Just like the TWC App.

It is ABYSMAL, barely ever works because the app is attempting to load the advertisements instead of loading the temperature and forecast. Ditched it a long time ago.

NC and SC peeps had better take precautions ASAP if they have not because some guidance has this hitting OBX and the Coast hard while other models now have Dorian going inland and REALLY effecting the Raleigh and Central NC as well,,, this has been a terrible storm
