We're getting new weather information regarding just how hard the winds gusted in North Carolina as Hurricane Dorian moved through. Cedar Island has taken the top spot at 110 miles per hour!

@crankywxguy
Dorian continues its transition. Tropical Core is bottom weighted as aloft to the north heading extra-tropical.

Still trying to catch up here. Hoping that you're joking, but believing that you're not. :\

What a rider this storm is.

I'm sure he was reporting what he was reading at the time.

Found this. Link is from this morning.

One forecast from Quebec, Canada, however, is predicting snow in the northern-most part of the region, thanks to a Arctic cold front that will combine with moisture from Dorian.

Did you remember to have the service crew fuel all of the Disneyland hurricane equipment?

Or do I have to go do that myself too?

Look at the wind field expansion that happens from the GFS in just 24 hours. This becomes a very large hurricane that is on the way to become a very strong summer mid-latitude cyclone.

The technical term is negatively tilted trough. This happened most famously with Sandy 2012. It probably won’t be that incredible of a transition, but you can’t rule it out either.

@philklotzbach
Only 2 #hurricanes since 1983 have made landfall in Canada with a pressure <= 960 hPa - #HurricaneDorian's current pressure.

Hurricane Gustav - 2002 - 960 hPa
Hurricane Igor - 2010 - 950 hPa

NOAA has a complete record of non-continental US Atlantic landfalls starting in 1983.

Residents of the coastal Northeast and Atlantic Canada are the next in line to feel the disruptive effects from Dorian even as the hurricane lurks offshore

You can see the rain hit a wall S&E of Boston. Couldn’t push back enough, but Cape got some decent rain/wind.

Missed this in the hub-bub, but Sea Surface Temps (SSTs) were already lower than normal near where #Dorian stalled as of 8/31. Hard to say what would have been different if that little anomaly were not there




interesting surface temperature anomaly

Absolutely CATASTROPHIC #oilspill in #GrandBahama from #HurricaneDorian at the #Statoil / @Equinor facility.

‘YOU CAN SMELL THE CORPSES’ Hurricane Dorian – Bahamas residents ‘looting and shooting each other for food’

Tearful survivor Alicia Cooke wept: "Everything is gone, people are starting to panic. Pillaging, looting, trying to shoot people for food and water. It's just no way everyone's going to get out."

"No homes. No banks. No gas stations. No hardware stores. Everything is gone".

Last night Health Minister Duane Sands warned of a "staggering" final number.

"The public needs to prepare for unimaginable information about the death toll and the human suffering," he told local radio.

On social media thousands are still listed as missing as British and American rescue teams hunt through the rubble for survivors.

People are also using websites such as DorianPeopleSearch.com, which currently lists the names of more than 5,500 missing people.

Hurricane Dorian Makes Bahamians the Latest Climate-Crisis Victims

The country has a tiny carbon footprint but carries the burden of being ground zero for global warming.

What we have seen in the past few days has been sublime in its horror. It has estranged us from the humor that keeps us going despite the increasing fragility of life in the breathtakingly beautiful place we call home. It has a tiny carbon footprint but carries the burden of being ground zero for our climate crisis.

We Bahamians listen to climate deniers in rich countries who are oblivious or indifferent to those who bear the weight for their wonderful lives. Meanwhile, the water rises from the ground in our yards because the water table is so high during high tide, and plants we once depended upon no longer grow. We experience too much rain or too little rain, and fresh water supplies are increasingly contaminated by rising sea levels.

We watch as the governments of small island states like our own, tied to multinational agreements, are forced to make decisions that are not in the best interests of the people they serve, while our electrical grid fails and we are made more dependent on fossil fuels rather than renewable energy. “Too expensive,” they say. “For whom?” we reply. “Is cost the only consideration?”

We feel the sunshine all around us but are prevented from employing it freely and legally to meet our energy needs. It can be illegal to take your house off the grid and go completely solar on your own, but who knows how often the government enforces this. The energy from solar panels becomes an enemy instead of a resource.

The United Nations recently released a damning climate report that stated unless immediate dramatic changes take place across the world, places like the Bahamas will be the first to be consumed by the ocean. There was no discussion of this apocalyptic report in the country, nothing from the prime minister.

Looks like they filled the tanks with oil to prevent collapse...but the tops got lifted anyway
