Dorian isn’t moving and the onslaught on Grand Bahama continues. The hurricane has weakened somewhat, but keep in mind, like earthquakes, “Categories” of hurricanes are exponential. A Cat 4 hurricane is 250 X’s more destructive than a Cat 1.
Here are our latest updates. As before, we have embedded the address link from NOAA and the updates will occur automatically.
As of 9:00pm Eastern Time, Sept 2, 2019, we’re at 140mph, 942 millibars of pressure, wind gusts to 165mph, tidal surge is running 12-18 feet, with waves on top of the surge, ………. and the track of Dorian is…….. Stationary.
The man below is Lloyd Allen, and he is with ZNS News. He is he first reporter into Abaco Island and came in with the US Coast Guard, who has now set up a helo ferry to the capitol in Nassau for injured victims. His reporting is being widely shared by CBS and other main outlets. His Twitter feed is astonishing and graphic. Warning. It includes phone calls to Police/Fire from desperate citizens. It includes photos of flatbed trucks accumulating dead bodies, and lists of those to save…… One officer died in Freeport today.
Another terrific source for the science buffs is Weather . us.
Levi Cowan, our Tropical Tidbits grad student, continues to overperform.
Until Dorian decides what she wants to do, we’re all at her mercy. All we can do is wait. Meanwhile, USA residents from Florida to Virginia are under a state of emergency. We’re all ready…… as ready we can be. Utility crews are in place, businesses are boarded up, some have left town already. Now, all we can do is………
Again, thank you to all the Treepers and their contributions. Your information compiled herein has helped many as the posts continue to be shared. Couldn’t do it without you. And a hat tip to MollyPitcher for the banner photo today!
Weather Channel reporting 7 dead.
Freeport Hospital evacuated.
That’s so sad………….. I pray it’s total, but I fear it’s not.
Continuing to pray for those in The Bahamas, and Florida.
The Bahama Press seems to believe there’s many more. Been monitoring their twitter and went to their website. Very critical of government authorities, Power company management, etc… You name it, they fuss it, believe government’s hiding info on dead. At least they’re tweeting info on who needs to be rescued. Tweet from an hour ago said people waiting for rescue had been on roof since 10am. I don’t think they have the resources, besides, it’s still too dangerous.
God bless you Daughn………..
We do appreciate the time and energy you give to posting these daily tracking threads………. all while you run a B&B and take care of guests, on a holiday weekend !
WONDER WOMAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(And you managed Monday to provide an uplifting personal account of surving a disaster … one of your beloved stories. )
We are so grateful for you and the others who make this QTree such a sanctuary.
WWG1WGA ……………
Love you too, Phoenix. Maybe we’ve given Dorian so much attention we’ve scared her away. One can only hope. The Bahamas, however, are going to be changed forever.
Excellent explanation on why Dorian is stalled.
Great explanation! I’ve been wondering all day why it was just sitting there doing so much damage. Unfortunately, the Bahamas have almost 24 hours before it starts moving again.

Thank you for putting these hurricane threads together, Daughn!
Hey Sadie, you’re the one who started these, I followed your lead.
Hi, Daughn — you need to “unsticky” yesterday’s hurricane thread, ’cause it’s still at the top (above this one).
Cthulhu, are you still seeing the Dorian post from yesterday at your top?
Everything was fine by 1:43. Wolf unstuck it, but it decided to not propagate for a while.
Thank you, Daughn, for evincing the power of caring for victims of catastrophe through sharing information and witness in this space.
Some of our Coast Guard choppers are in the Bahamas, helping with evacuating the injured:
USA is always ready to help!!!
Bet the Bahamians won’t leave food to rot on the tarmacs!!!!
Exactly Georgia……………
Our Coast Guard actually went in yesterday.
MANY reports from MSM on small countries such as Turks and Caicos, Jamaica, etc., who had extended assistance to the Bahamas.
Not a word about the USA – posed politically to damage President Trump.
Of course, the first people there are the USA Coast Guard.
Infuriating that the media would use every opportunity, even the dead and wounded on Abaco, to harm President Trump.
I hope you’re not surprised. The surprise will be when they get straight.
Bingo!
God bless the US Coast Guard ………………… keep them safe.
Praying for people of the Bahamas and others in Dorian’s path.
Terrifying footage…this is apparently from the 2nd floor:
MUST READ THREAD!
This explains so much about Dorian—Chinese ports in the Bahamas, Denmark/Chinese connection, Broward County trafficking. All this time I operated under the assumption that the black hats were manipulating the weather. There’s a strong argument here that it’s the white hats doing it.
https://twitter.com/3Days3Nights/status/1168370486411243523
https://twitter.com/3Days3Nights/status/1168640030086184960
https://twitter.com/3Days3Nights/status/1168370633530630144
I cannot accept that white hats would inflict this type of suffering and death anti innocent people of the Bahama.
God have mercy if this is true.
I do not believe such evil and cannot cheer or celebrate.
Maybe the alternative was a very real threat to the millions of people living in Florida? I doubt it was an easy decision.
All things are possible but I do not have to like it.
Glad all seems to work out and my prayers are with all those who are have been hurt or in the way of the hurricane.
Over at Chiefio’s, Larry Ledwick posted an article about a Chinese base in the Bahamas that was built a couple of years ago (BigLeague Politics article). I’d wondered about this “scrubbing” action, but the power required to create “weather” like this is something we don’t have (despite people HAARPing on and on about it). Divine Power is infinite, however. Just ask Noah…
https://bigleaguepolitics.com/china-builds-port-bahamas-provides-military-assistance-equipment-180-miles-off-u-s-coast/
And you know that “we don’t have this weather manipulation power”? …. how?
“we” have….. more than you know.
Tell me where you get four orders of magnitude energy greater than anything we have on Earth?
Tin foil hat or not, weather manipulation of that order is still a fairy tale.
Regardless of whether or not various hats are messing with the weather, THIS is interesting. And, yes, I did happen to notice that China has been busy buying up and taking control of ports and canals and shipping lanes for a while now. Beginning with Panama.
https://twitter.com/3Days3Nights/status/1168370536516399104
I might sound harsh but this is the only way countries do not sell out our interests to the Chinese, let China rebuild Bahamas because they benefit and their politicians sold them out.
Of course it does not work that way we are a Christian compassionate Nation and it would go against the our grain. We will as always help out and in the end China benefits unless Bahama politicians realize they made a deal with the devil when it comes to China?
We help and hope the people see and know who we are and what we stand for.
Payers for the Bahamian people who suffered so much.
Wow….I don’t know what to say….
This shows the track of Dorian:
https://twitter.com/HardcoreTruther/status/1168765043321790464?s=20
.
Just now, on the Weather Channel they said that Dorian has basically “parked” over the Grand Bahama island.
It’s been downgraded to a Cat3 though, as wind speed has decreased to 120 mph.
Longtime WX Hurricane specialist on the radio this morning said they had never seen a hurricane sit still this long.
Harvey slowed almost to a creep and flooded Houston two years ago – but that’s the closest to a stall that I ever remember.
Yeah, me either, GA/FL…I don’t remember ever seeing one stall out like this.
I can’t remember seeing another one like this either. None of them are the same though. Probably why we name the storms.
Been thinking about that for awhile………………. agree with you and Georgia, Wheatie, and Daughn.
My mother, the woman with a memory for certain events (not so much others), said the same thing, that she had never seen one just sit. The high pressure domes on either side of it holding it in place makes a little sense, but not really given the nature of a cyclone type storm.
NEW CONE – 5 AM
Another great choice for the Header pic, Daughn.
😊👍
Thanks for doing these Dorian threads!
JUST THINK – Franklin Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse teams are gearing up right now to go and show mercy, help rebuild and encourage the victims of Hurricane Dorian.
https://www.samaritanspurse.org
Donate to them – not the Red Cross which is a scam/largely ineffective/leftist-run organization.
The Red Cross is really pseudo government. I did a couple stints there as a temp.
While FL may be spared – Grand Bahama is getting beaten to a pulp.
RECORDS set by Dorian:
Major Hurricane Comparison:
Typhoon Karen had 185 mph winds also (in 1962)….
I was there!
Must have been terrifying!
Well…. truth be told….. I was less than 1 yr old at the time 🙂
But my parents tell me it was indeed “Terrifying”
(hope it doesn’t double-post)
We were worrying about you last night…………….
please take care of yourself………..stay dry.
thank you, phoenix….I’m over on the west coast…away from the danger (if it goes north)…just some sporadic rain, thunder, occasional 15 mph gusts…most of it coming in later tday and maybe tomorrow….west side of Florida dodging bullets this time.
Thanks for all your updates and info. Hopefully Dorian will move North and East and out to sea!
STORM SURGE ALERTS — FLORIDA…
NOAA…Floater…current position…
what a miserable wretch this thing is.
first images of RESCUE EFFORTS in The Bahamas …this morning ! <3
makes my <3 swell….
we will provide LOTS of help for the people and those devastated islands, GOD Bless them and the responders.
..and I really hope Gov Ron De Santis runs for POTUS one day b/c he'll def have my vote…tremendous LEADER and Can-DO Gov thru all of this for Florida.
Casey DeSantis will make a very poised, gracious, compassionate, well-spoken First Lady!
I loved her ads for her husband’s campaign!
Casey has done MANY, many, many announcements about Hurricane Dorian.
Excellent use of her skills. It’s like Ron turned her loose, told her to inform the public, and she RAN with it.
Good job.
SMART MAN – and beautiful skilled woman!
And little ones, too!!!!!!
very GRIM aftermath scenes from Abaco..
totally flattened.
hearts breaking
…but help is on the way !
( did not mean to “like” my own post ! tsk) 🙁
I have done it too – you can click again and it will undo the ‘like’
and I did it again !
what the…?
Haaa…it happens.
😄
GA/FL is right though, click it again if you want to remove it.
Auto restoration business will be booming in the Bahamas after Dorian passes.
And lots of Flood Cars that will eventually be shipped to the mainland for cleanup and resale to unsuspecting buyers.
They will ship them up north because yankees are used to salt rusted vehicles. ;->
That’s what holds them together 😀
(The cars, that is 🙂 )…
Hehe
They’ll sell them to snowbirds and snowflakes 🙂
The first can’t tell anymore, and the second don’t know any better…
LOL!!!
This shows the flooding on Grand Bahama island:
As long as it keeps sitting and spinning, the Bahamas are not getting any relief:
😩😔
It’s like being inside a washing machine that’s on a constant rinse and spin cycle.
When a murderer kills someone by stabbing them, the average “stabbing” is somewhere between 30-40 knife wounds. The murderer tires themself out by killing the victim.
Kind of the same thing with Dorian…. which is why it is weakening.
Grand Bahama is hanging on by a thread.
It’s now a category 2 storm.
eye on the ball, from the beginning (no puns intended)….Gov Ron DeSantis…works non-stop…
lots of worthwhile onfo , in this article…
Hurricane Dorian Begins To Move Toward FLORIDA As Wind Field Expands

Sept 3, 2019… 8:42 am
as of 8 am. Cat 3 w/ 150 mph gusts…
110 miles east/northeast of West Palm Beach..
40 miles NE of Freeport, Grand Bahama (last nite it was only ~ 24 miles NE of Freeport)…
…showing some ovement at about 1 mph NW…..well ! ABOUT TIME.
asof 8:30 am, FPL says approx 3500 customers without power between Palm Beach and Volusia Counties..
Gov Ron De Santis is urging Floridians to guard against “storm fatigue”…and to continue to pay close attention to all local alerts and evacuation orders,,,in case the wretched thing should wobble west before heading north..
much much more good info at that link re Dorian and all things related for Florida and east coast.
plse be safe & secure everybody !
ovement = movement
Cat 5 typos !
PRAYER FOR FAITH
Father God
We come to You humbly before the Throne of Grace – in the name of Jesus – we pray for Faith as we face an incomparable foe.
We ask You to quell our apprehension, fear, and trepidation for we know not what we will be required to do in the coming days.
We ask You to help us prepare physically, mentally, and spiritually to battle the forces of evil that are guiding this storm.
We ask You to assist us with our domestic animals – to calm them and bring them to safety.
We put our Hope solely in You – we believe Jesus is the Hope for the future – He has the power to calm and redirect this storm.
We put our Faith solely in You – we believe You want what is best for us – because You love us – we are not afraid.
We put our Trust solely in You – we believe in Your promise never to leave or abandon us in our hour of need.
We ask You protect the President, his family, our country, and our friends and families – put a hedge of protection over all.
We plead the Blood of Jesus over all in the path of this evil storm – protect them from all danger, hurt, and/or harm.
We ask You take this storm in Your Mighty Hands – and cast it out to sea – leaving all in its path safe and secure.
We ask You take hold of the wind – the water – and the power behind this storm – and reduce its hold over the land.
We ask You empower Your people – to do as Your Son asked them – to love one another as He loved us.
We pray the Lord’s Prayer – mindful that You care for us – knowing you will provide what we need – when we need it – by the Power of Your Spirit.
We acknowledge Your unconditional Love for us – and we believe Your Love will sustain us.
We ask it all in the Precious and Holy Name of Jesus – Amen.
And while you’re at it Oh Lord, could you kindly see the way to sending me a million dollars?
This is crazy! I wonder where he or she is now.
https://twitter.com/TribunalReport/status/1168253031693131776
Probably in the stomachs of several sharks.
Al Gore…
Oh, wait. It would have to be a blizzard, then… Snownado or something…
too many days of watching too many Cats spinning in place ??
need a break from all the Cat weather ??

So Sayeth the Cat Lady.
🙂
helloo there Cadimus <3
Oh brother…now it starts.
This young writer at the ChiCom-owned Forbes, is eager to blame this on ‘climate change’:
https://twitter.com/XWIGs/status/1168875103863656448?s=20
.
She says that these ‘slow-moving mega storms’ may become the “new normal”.
Because of course, climate change.
🙄😐
The Cabal still has the ‘megahorn’ but WE DON”T BELIEVE “EM !!!
Yeah, right.
If one “translates” the Voytko article, it really says this:
“White people, especially American white people, are the cause of Hurricane Dorian. In order for these huge hurricanes to stop, white people, especially American white people, must stop using the internal combustion engine, go back to living in caves, turn in their guns, give up sovereignty to the United Nations/Communists, and obey the commands of their new masters. By the way, their new masters will always be able to do and have everything that the white American people have given up. And yes, I’m working for their new masters.”
Excellent comment Concerned Virginian…that’s the truth
I might be able to give up the internal combustion engine, but not indoor plumbing or a gas range. Not even. No way, Jose. Not happening.
How ya gonna git yer groceries?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh that’s right. They’ll be delivered by drones. HAHAHAHA!
Amazon 😜
How ya gonna git yer groceries?
PONY CART!!!
I even have a nice runabout with a cargo area in back that I converted to from one horse to two ponies. 😂
It’s 1/2 hr to the nearest groc and 1 1/2 hours to town.
watched an expert on this, speaking briefly ab it on Martha McC’s show (FOX) last eve…
he said, among other things, that if that were actually, factually the case…climate change causing more hurricanes….we’d be seeing/experiencing constant hurricanes all over the Caribbean and Atlantic, non stop….way beyond a “higher than usual” busy Hcane Season…
this storm is “slow-moving” b/c of other weather factors in the mix…like that HIGH “ridge” in the Atlantic causing it to stay south and then stall…and now 2 other similar Highs from the west and finally the north, both of which will “steer” it…unless they dissipate.
it’s called WEATHER .
…nothing to do with Obama-Change.
Yesterday, CNN was referring to the storm as Climate Change Hurricane Dorian.
I remember the good ol’ days when the Ted Turned channel showed old movies and “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman” in the wee hours of the morn… never harmed a soul…………
Now, nothing but a vehicle for propaganda……………………..
😄😄😄
https://twitter.com/Cocoa_Bean10/status/1168879413091545088?s=20
so glad the Running Guy kept his clothes on…just saying.
it’s Florida…anything goes here.
would not have helped The Cause.
🙂
Cat 2 …. 110 mph….
But, once she leaves the Bahamas and is again over water, she will gain strength and increase cat level, right? And if she skirts the eastern board, still over water, she will be monstrous AGAIN when she makes landfall in S Carolina, right?
Still praying.
Joey’s no Charlie Hall, but praying he’s on point… and Dorian doesn’t gain strength.
Dorian probably won’t regain strength. The storm structure has weakened overall, plus churning the ocean water for 24+ hours has dredged up cooler water from the ocean, which also weakens it.
That’s wonderful news Sadie.
Unfortunately, the people in the Bahamas endured much for the US eastern coast, and Florida.
Still praying.
11 am Track..
comparisons….
Greg Norman, the golfer, live on Jupiter Island and has decided to ride out the storm.
Jupiter Island, however, is where many of the Sea Turtles lay their eggs.
Hey, I used to live on the beach and we were very respectful of their nests, and the hatching of baby turtles was a wondrous site to see.
We’ve lost a whole lot of turtles this season.
Sad.
Niece works with a group still protecting sea turtle eggs on the IOP ………..
and we may lose even more eggs if Dorian makes landfall in SCarolina…………….
praying, praying………………
Sorry t hear you were homeless and had to resort to living on the beach with the sea turtles.
Did you make turtle soup?
😉
Andy, you be bad !! 😉
Well, daughworks said she lived “on the beach”. 🙂
120′ above it, but could spit into the sand.
Glorious location.
Do it while you are young enough to enjoy it.
I lived within easy walking distance of the beach in Santa Cruz, Ca right after I got out of the Navy. I got a horse for cheap and rode him up and down the beach. He was a real chick magnet. Or….maybe I was, who knows, ha ha.I was 22 years old and single.
You lived 120′ above the beach? I didn’t know palm trees grew that tall. Must’ve been a real chore climbing up there to go to bed every evening.
😉
Daughn’s house….
turtle soup…and make it snappy ! 😀
Snappy like this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vunjcLIZ454
he’s wearing your hat, lol 😀
No, that’s not a Trump hat.
🙂
Dapghn…may be wrong but that’s my old stomping grounds and I believe Greg no longer lives there, and I actually thought he sold his house. Think he spends most of his time in Australia now after he married his old Austrian flame. It wouldn’t be unusual for him to ride out the storm…a few years ago he rented a bulldozer and created sand dunes to protect his house.
However, Tiger Woods still does have his primary property there and not too far from Greg.
That Jupiter Inlet is a dangerous one in normal conditions and I can only imagine what it will be now. State parks along one side and very expensive homes right on the water, slightly elevated, on the north side. What a show they will have!
Waffle House Rocks!!
Now that’s corporate planning I can live with !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EXCELLENT WORK!!!!! I hope the President gets to see those paintings and hope the hurricane doesn’t mess them up!!!
ATTA BOY
wish he was my neighbor ! 😀
thumbs up !
helicoptor footage of Bahamas after Dorian’s destruction…it’s gone…total destruction…
For comparison, here’s the “Before” view of the Bahamas I posted the other day.
just so sad….beautiful islands there…and some spectacular homes…
has there ever been a hurricane that just stalled like Dorian…as a constant Cat 5 ?? in recorded history?
I don’t think so.
extermely traumatic for those people and families and property owners…but most especially for those who had to be there and endure that hell.
…and for those who perished. R.I.P.
I wonder how these big hotels and casino resorts fared during the storm?
The people who live there, depend on tourism to make a living. There will be no tourism for a long long time.
The videos are coming in now of the storm destruction in The Bahamas.

“Paradise” is one of the their codewords.
The “Las Vegas” shooting actually happened in Paradise, NV.
Ground zero of last year’s wildfires was Paradise, CA.
Just co-ink-a-dinks. Nothing more.
Not what we were hoping to hear..
Molly thanks for posting that ……………..
not good news at all…………..
Warning: Yes, we will post another Dorian Hurricane Watch thread for tomorrow. Many of our friends and family will be in peril, in the path of this horrible storm.
But……
I’m tellin’ ya’ now.
I posted one helluva rant about this hurricane.
You have and it’s appreciated !
Daughn we love you and all the time and encouragement you give. Take care of yourself 🙂
You’re going to love it!

Yeah, lots of looting can occur, especially after dark.
hahahahahaha
reports coming out of Bahamas continue to be very grim…
Here’s Josh’s thread. He was basically at ground zero, and barely got out. Wow.
Clever Hong mongers
Dawnz01 @Dawnz
Hong Kong Protestors Using Mesh Messaging App China Can’t Block: Usage Up 3685%.How do you communicate when the government censors the internet? With a peer-to-peer mesh broadcasting network that doesn’t use the internet.
That’s exactly what Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters are doing now, thanks to San Fransisco startup Bridgefy’s Bluetooth-based messaging app. The protesters can communicate with each other — and the public — using no persistent managed network.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/
This app sounds to me like the new version of the old hand-held 2-way radio. When the Communist Chinese army starts to pull a Tiananmen Square on the HK protesters (the army is setting up and running drills for this now, waiting for the signal from the Politburo in Beijing), this may save many lives.
By the way, XI, clever man, will arrange it so that when the Politburo orders the army to crush the HK “rebels”, he will be able to claim that he was “outnumbered”. I believe the real truth is that XI is right there in the middle of it — anything else is posturing for Western consumption.
But POTUS already knows this.
Bahama Prime Minister giving press conference. US facilitated today’s aerial tour which produced videos we’ve been seeing from from Abaco and Marsh Harbor today. North side of island is Decimated, south side fared better. During tour, 30 people spotted waving flags, shirts, etc., in need of rescue from flood waters. Expect more deaths. Weather Channel reporting 11 total, 3 from US. NW area tour is tomorrow.
People are still getting sick from the effects of Hurricane Michael.
I spoke with a woman outside of the critical care facility where our daughter and her father are hospitalized. She said he had contracted a fungal pneumonia due to mold left over from Hurricane Michael.
There are still people living here in Tallahassee/Leon County, displaced from the Panama City/Pensacola area a year later.
Fake News !
This just in from WeatherNation:
