The slow moving speed and terrible strength of the winds are just scouring those poor islands. Grand Bahama Island is going to be a wreck. Killing wind and flooding.
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.

I've been through two, already, since being here in in Orlando and I was in Miami during Andrew. That was a friggin beauty, #%&*$#! 30,000 dollars worth of damage to my house and property. House down the block had the top floor ripped off! Huge tree fell on a nieghbors Lexus and crushed it like a toy! Homestead, south of us, was practically wiped off the map. It was like a war zone, with Army units and helicoptors heading south every day. I don't ever want to be through one that bad again, EVER!

I live in Sarasota, we've had a little rain, nothing really heavy and we put the shutters up yesterday as a precaution because if it doesn't turn it's directly east of us, last year the storm passed just North of us and we had trees down everywhere. We are surrounded by 30' pine trees so ..better safe than sorry.

How many hurricanes have you been through Nixer? Hmmmm... I am not sure. The first I remember is Donna in the 60's, maybe 5 more in Florida and maybe the same amount of Tropical Storms. In Louisiana I evacuated twice, rode out Katrina in a boat and went thru maybe 4 or 5 more hurricanes (2 of them in boats) and the same number of Tropical storms.

Huricane David in 1979 for me. 50 miles off the Miami coast line. Lived in Bradenton Beach, Miami, and last in Lake Worth, all in the 70´s-80´s.

We had the remnants of Hurricane Hazel hit here in 1954. Did some damage here but Toronto and area got quite a bit of damage. http://hurricanehazel.ca/
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.

And this one to add to Jim's. Pretty sure most of this is Elbow Cay/Hopetown. That flipped over spud barge says it all to me. HUGE storm surge...and it wasn't even hit by the strongest quadrant (NE) of Dorian! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beXg9egFcAs
