My heart goes out to all of those on the islands (particularly the northwest Bahamas) and I have a really bad feeling...that this will be a huge catastrophic tragedy for them.

I really, really, hope... my gut is completely wrong.

I also hope that we do the right thing...and are quick to get there and help.

Yes, poor folks that are in that (apparent) Dorian direct-hit. No place to hide. Such a beautiful area of the Carrib... hope it weathers the storm with no loss of life...
