And the wife and I had a very nice flight to Asheville. Only glitch was that my planned stop/fuel airfield (KVDI) had low cloud ceiling and I had to land at another field (KBHC). No problem. Just a minor deviation from my plan. Bathroom break for both of us, self-serve fuel, and back in the air. Then easy straight flight to KAVL. Less than 4 hours. Tomorrow tour the Baltimore Estate.
Wife is relieved that the changed path of the storm means no problem for our house or her sister. She was a little conflicted about going on the trip.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

The models NHC are basing their track on had it turning towards the north hours ago.
Still heading due west like a monster with a one track mind. Last minute evacuations from Florida and 10's of thousands of people will be caught by a possible Cat 5 Hurricane in their freakin cars! Now THAT is a nightmare scenario.
Geez, I am starting to sound like you Hag.

Folks on vacation at Disney World, and Trump orders evac of his Mar-a-Lago private club at Palm Beach...
In a matter of hours, a community is destroyed. The Bahamas have long been a good neighbor and friend.
We need to help these people.

So Trump shows more concern for his employees than Disney does, good.

There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Hurricane Dorian Tropical Cyclone Update NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052019 1000 PM EDT Sun Sep 01 2019
...CATASTROPHIC CATEGORY 5 DORIAN BEGINNING TO CROSS EASTERN GRAND BAHAMA...
This is a life-threatening situation. Residents in the Abacos should continue to stay in their shelter as the northern eyewall of Dorian remains over the northern portion of the island. Residents in eastern Grand Bahama are experiencing the western portion of the eyewall. Do not leave your shelter as the eye passes over, as winds will rapidly increase on the other side of the eye. Conditions will continue to deteriorate over the remainder of Grand Bahama Island tonight.
Hazards: - Wind Gusts over 220 mph - Storm Surge 18 to 23 feet above normal tide levels with higher destructive waves
These hazards will cause extreme destruction in the affected areas and will continue for several hours.
SUMMARY OF 1000 PM EDT...0200 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...26.6N 77.8W ABOUT 60 MI...95 KM E OF FREEPORT GRAND BAHAMA ISLAND ABOUT 140 MI...225 KM E OF WEST PALM BEACH FLORIDA MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...185 MPH...295 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...W OR 270 DEGREES AT 5 MPH...7 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...915 MB...27.02 INCHES

Considering that the islands of the Bahamas are mostly just about 49-66ft average height, a 18-23ft surge might already devastate significant parts, let alone the winds and rain. And considering that it moves very slow (down to ~1kn I just read somewhere), it must be hell there. And it looks like it is going to crawl all along the island… <nosuitableemojisthatwouldproperlyexpressthefearsandwishes>
