It looks like it's going to hit on Monday but they don't know where it's going to land, the stores look like they are running out of supplies so I hope you have all stocked up with water and other necessities...
Thank you, Steve.
You're always so considerate and thoughtful. We'll keep you updated,

thanks, I have seen the distruction that a hurricane can cause and nothing good comes out of it. It can ruin people's lives and everything they worked for.
News changes every time I look, now hearing it could be not till Wed in Jacksonville. Got generator gas & a few little things, but I prefer to be a little ready anytime rather than joining the idiots shopping last minute OR LATER only to return stuff after things clear.
So now holiday weekend is still screwed up & guaranteed to screw up more of my work days.

This is the only Dorian that impresses me:
Category 11 Dorian "the Hurricane" Yates!

You're certainly right about that. They can cause an inordinate amount of destruction. I'm by no means feeling complacent. It can shift at any given time. The weather forecasters don't know for sure. They're just throwing it out there and see if it sticks.
Stay safe Jack. I know you're 75 miles inland, but these things are unpredictable. Fingers crossed for you, my friend.
Just this morning everyone couldn't stop talking about Miami getting hit with a rampage up the spine of Florida.
Now this evening, seems like the storm is going to rage right along the coastline, not losing much of its strength as it churns right up the edge.
I honestly think this is the worst of all worlds, because lots of locals here on the Georgia coast are lulled into complacency by all the Florida coverage even though, as of now, GA/SC are expected to get as much or heavier wind and rain as anywhere in FL.
Tons of stacks of water/supplies around for now, gas stations have been empty... it all means nobody here is preparing because all the media attention is stuck on FL... and THAT is when it gets dangerous. Media is doing a huge disservice on this one. I guess they're afraid to reduce/discontinue the volume of their FL coverage so that people there don't get complacent if the storm turns back, but, they're doing the same/worse to people further up the coast already.
