Exactly right...almost unimaginable!!
And to think that it might last for up to two days...simply boggles the mind. Even if I was sitting in the best prepared location on any of the islands, I can't even fathom having the wind screaming, rain by the feet and watching a potential 20 ft. storm surge, come onto an island that's highest points are about 10'-15' above normal sea level...for that long of time. On Edit: As was pointed out in another thread, this is incorrect, as this height above sea level actually only applies to Abaco's largest community...Marsh Harbor. Facts matter.

Andrew vs. Dorian
According to Google, the top speed of Hurricane Andrew was 174 MPH, so it looks like Dorian has broken that record. That is certainly not a good record to break.

This thing is the mother of all storms. Praying for the People in the Bahamas. Hoping it makes a northeast turn very soon and never hits the USA mainland!

We are so far inland, we will feel very very little effect at all from this storm.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all affected.

Does thoughts and prayers help?

Frankly, I have to agree with that sentiment. Are you praying to the same entity that caused the horrific weather event in the first place?

Put your arm out a car window doing 80 MPH. Now double that. Scary.

If they did we wouldn't have any more shootings.

I thank God every day that he gave me the free will to choose between good and evil and if you can find something wrong with a person keeping someone “ in their thoughts and prayers”, you are in need of some deep soul searching. I will also keep those affected in my thoughts and prayers.
