Dorian and the Bahamas/surrounding islands.
With "high ground" being at most 10'-15' above normal sea level for the majority of the islands and 20' surges possible, plus the fact that there are projections that Dorian could stall for up to two days there (with 125+mph winds)...I can't even fathom the fear and stress those residents are going through right now.
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...

Mother Nature can be quite frightening.

I can't see how there won't be bad news. It is an awful storm.

Sending positive energy to the people effected. Will have to see what else can be done later.

Very bad conditions.
With current conditions, wind speed of 185 mph, moving at 7 mph, this is going to be extremely damaging for the northern Bahamas.

Reported gusts over 200 mph with sustained winds over 185 mph. Unfortunately there may not be much of anything still standing after Dorian is done in the northern Bahamas. Add in the storm surges, the potential for loss of life is huge. We can only hope that the loss of life is as minimal as possible and for those so inclined. to keep them in thoughts and prayers.

*LIVE* Hurricane Dorian LANDFALL IN MARSH HARBOUR (Category 5 WINDS 185+) - YouTube
Live webcam Marsh Harbor Abaco Island Bahamas. They must build strong homes there as I've been watching for an hour and home in video still standing in 168 mph winds |

Agree, that house on the cam must be bolted down and made of concrete and steel.
Nice to see what we in TV have missed so far. But so hard for them. Looking at the small red car at the bottom on the right side, it has not moved and it should have if the winds are 168 mph as stated. Hm? Last edited by Velvet; 09-01-2019 at 03:34 PM. |

Also, the trees indicate one direction for the wind but the debris is going in the opposite direction....

I’m amazed that at 4:46 PM that roof is still on!

The reports I was watching, obviously were referring to Abaco's largest community Marsh Harbor...which is only 13 feet above sea level. Horrific Pounding Quote:
