Hurricane Dorian continues and the Port of Savannah has been closed. We’re worried about our Treepers, friends, and family in the Carolinas. Sure, we’re all tired, but this is a serious threat to OUR coast.
Levi Cowan is a brilliant grad student studying cyclones, who was found by SadieSlays. Last night he posted a report of a recon mission into the hurricane tracking winds at 114mph. We knew then, the storm was strengthening and reorganizing.
Most Americans are tired and bored with the drama of Dorian, but now is when it’s hitting OUR shores and is dangerous to the USA. We’re back to a Cat 3.
Let’s start our updates.
We need to pay attention to the Carolinas. Could be worse than we thought.
We’re looking at a stronger and more organized storm, 100mph on the beaches, gusts to 120mph on the outer banks —- Joe Bastardi

Prayers
They absolutely work Rodney! I am grateful for the prayers and thoughts for my family that live in Jacksonville, FL. My wife told me this morning that no damage was done to our house and that the electric never went off. THANK YOU!
Ohh, such WONDERFUL NEWS Felice,
thanks for sharing……….
Thank you Lord for protecting our Felice and his family.
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
Has anyone heard anything on Freeport? That is such an ominous picture – as if the whole city is underwater.
You know, Linda, we stll don’t have an answer. I guess, with a Ca 5 and the length of pounding Freeport took, we can expect for the land to change formation after the storm.
But —- wow, is this it?
Holy smokes.
Coastal land is called ‘fugitive’ land.
One big storm removed the dunes, changed the shoreline and toppled the lighthouse at St. George Island where we often spent a week or weekend when our children grew up. Some good folks salvaged the lighthouse and set it up on higher ground inland as a tourist attraction and landmark near the hotels and restaurants.
The area around Panama City and Pensacola will never be the same after Michael.
In art and professional painter circles, pigments that fade and change in the light over time are called ‘fugitive’ pigment.
But if that whole city is now underwater, you would think the death toll would be huge? Would the whole city have gotten out before the hurricane hit? Where would they have gone? I’ve heard only a few death toll numbers and they weren’t that large.
Linda,
The Bahamas are SAND BARS. The oceans and storms have a very nasty habit of re-arranging sand bars.
Whether or not Dorian caused enough erosion to permanently change the islands remains to be seen.

Wierd weather here. Monsoons encouragingbthunder and lightning ,started a 1000 acre fire called Tenaja fire. Its moved from a plateau and hills straight toward homes. Our first big fire of the season.
Sorry to hear about this Gil……………….
Charleston getting winds and rain now, over 100,000 without power now, expected to rise to 700,000😕
Oh ghheezz
Residents shouldn’t go outside without their rubbers.
And on the 10AM Eastern top of the hour CBS Radio news on 680WPTF (Raleigh), the “news reporter” stated that the NWS denied saying that Dorian could hit ALABAMA — and that it’s a FEDERAL CRIME for anybody to give wrong weather information, “punishable by a fine or time in jail”.
Translation of what the reporter REALLY said: “POTUS lied about Dorian possibly hitting Alabama, so POTUS broke Federal law and must be arrested and jailed.”
These leftists are both idiots and evil trash.

Dorian was the lowest pressure reading 👆 of all the hurricanes he has been in.
I’m no expert, not even informed wrt weather ……………………. however, this is bugging me, has since I first heard it.
Power out for 20,000+ in SC so far – could get far worse.
President Trump Re-Tweeted
Sadly, I suspect there will be many more bodies found once the debris starts getting cleared. There is just too much destruction on those islands for survivors. Once the airport closes on an island, the residents are trapped. And with a Cat 5 storm lashing them for two days, it’s almost certain there would be many more deaths than 20.

PRAYER FOR PERSEVERANCE
Father God
We come to You humbly before the Throne of Grace – in the name of Jesus – we pray for Perseverance 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.
You forgot to ask God to send me a million dollars.
Because the ‘love of money’ is the root of all evil, andy – and – God is not a ‘robber banker’ – He is the Father of Blessings – and – they do not come in the form of fiat money!!!
But, Money makes the world go ’round. 🙂
Only for those who sold their souls, andy!
I’m not interested in selling my soul. I just want a gift from God of a million dollars.
Try living without money. 😉
I have – by the grace of God – I survived.
No money at all? That’s extremely hard to believe. You had to have a source of income from somewhere. It even costs money to buy seeds and gardening tools.
There’s a word for women who live off the income of a man and I’m not thinking of the word “wife”.
FAKE NEWS is America’s WORSE ENEMY…………………….
POTUS is correct.
Media lies not just about everything POTUS does or doesn’t do, but about HIS SUPPORTERS !
It’s EVIL beyond words.
Agree, pr! We will stop it!!!

Good Morning Patriots!
Woke-up this morning phone screeching Tornado Warning this morning… We’ve had several this morning..
This is MY main worry, Tornados..
Looking at the projected course this morning, Looks like Wilmington, Is on track to get wacked..
Calm before the Storm they say
It is ATM..
Partly Cloudy, light breeze, alil rain..
SOME-ONE or SOMETHING has turned OFF the Live Cams at the Beach’s –> ALL OF them.. <—
Theres NO power outage, NOTHING that should affect the live cams operation ATM..
Just before sunrise… I was watching My favorite Pier Cam..
Then the screen BLINKED ..
Then the “Cam” started running a “loop”..
I then checked the other Beach Cams, ALL of them were running “loops”…
Then Just as it started getting light outside.. They ALL were cut-OFF, (site network error.. ) or just blanked out..
Something dern well, SOMETHING FISHY is happening …
Off course Jim Cantore arrived in WILM Airport, first flight into WILM.. This Morning..
Is He in Wrightsville beach? or Carolina Beach?
Anyway, I’ll post throughout the Day..
Happy Chrusday Patriots!
Stay safe crossthread!!!
So far no rain here in the Piedmont. We are getting the animals fed early and making sure they are all out in fields far from trees or the barns. (Less chance of getting wacked by something falling.)
Stay safe Gail…………..
Your and yours are in our prayers.
So far just a bit of rain and not much wind. Supposedly the storm winds >20 mph will hit tonight. (2am)
thanks for checking in Gail
CT, the cameras are transmitting to network equipment which transmits to a server. All that equipment can be in separate physical locations, so the power outage could be anywhere. Even Companies with major backup generators usually keep only mission critical equipment powered on and power off all non critical equipment to conserve energy and prevent damage from zaps. Stay safe friend.
thanks for the hi-tech info Butterfly 😉
enough to worry about without doing so needlessly 😉
There is a tornado in North Myrtle Beach.
https://twitter.com/search?q=%22North%20Myrtle%20Beach%22&src=trend_click&pt=1169584252356354048
Folks the NWS is FULL of CHIT!
Look at this tweet.. There hasn’t been ANY, NADA KUPUT, Wind Gusts over 30 mph , SO far!
(exception being Tornadic spin-ups)
ANYWHERE in Wilmington or Carolina Beach OR Wrightsville Beach..
The NWS is LYING to US!
https://twitter.com/NWSEastern/status/1169618709066813440/photo/1
Myrtle Beach has high wind warnings out now.
https://weather.com/weather/alerts/localalerts/l/9fd7da38b32163df1f071b7db2cd3d870458488f029e91d9e270a7ed453581aa?phenomena=HU&significance=W&areaid=SCZ048&office=KCHS&etn=1005
Oh my, I didn’t fully realize how many possible souls could be under the devastation we’ve been seeing until this. So sad.
That lady has common sense and is telling the sad truth about the casualties.
I’m sure they’ll find many dead victims underneath all the debris. I hope I’m wrong, but judging from the total devastation I’m afraid I’m right.
Andy, we never got the truth about Katrina’s casualties……………………. they were 10x higher than reported
I am confident.
We lost friends in MS.
Flooding in NO was not that large of an area.
This driver has no common sense, apparently. Who drives on the beach when a hurricane is coming in?
Stupid..now that car can drift in and damage property
Unlike some coastal beaches (Gulf comes to mind) autos are PROHIBITED on Carolina beaches PERIOD.
You would be surprised at the number of fools who deliberately go out INTO hurricanes, claiming they want to experience it, because they’ve never been exposed ! (We haven’t really evolved that much ! There are a number of brainless fools on the planet!)
Locals from Pawleys, Murrells Inlet, Georgetown…some dunes breached..the ocean merging with the creeks..no houses ripped apart so far, I’ve seen some stairs floating in the water though. Georgetown downtown, some flooding, power out in some places
Thank you Molly……………….
Praying, praying…………..
been watching various FB pages ..some have cams still working.
I live in the evacuation location across the state…lots of coastal people and horses here right now. We’ve only had gusty winds, no rain at all… 125 miles away. Hubby played golf today.
One SUV.
ONE.
It’s the only thing bad to focus on.
It’s like one SUV and 100 photographers – photos of that one SUV all over media today.

Also, just texted my many family members… tornado in Myrtle Beach was 12 mis from Sissy, they’re okay, just trapped in house of course, same with niece in IOP (who is most at risk) lots of debris, but they’re safe. They’re on second street over from the beach, in a 40 y/o house that has survived many a hurricane, including Hugo
Good! Beach folk are salty (lol) and resilient..praying Dorian peters OUT
praying with you Molly !
Molly, looks as if there’s min damage, houses seem intact………… praying for your family
Lots of water ……….. high tide plus storm surge ?
yeah..the island is between a creek and the ocean…so when the tide manages to go over or bust through the dunes..it merges with the high creek water.
My house is on the other side of creek…so far ok..Brother is even a slight bit further..ok too but watching the wind
I think high tide is going down now so that should help
Wishing the best outcome for you and family…. and praying 😉
Thank you…It’s just a house but it’s my tiny slice of paradise. Love the place and the people there.
Daughn, my belated thanks for this POST…….. I was up at 6:00 am and thought there might not be a POST for today… back to bed for awhile and when I reached the computer………….. viola’ ………….. Daughnworks24/7 had much earlier provided !
You are a real treasure…………. supplying us all week with a resource for updates on this once monstrous storm… we appreciate your time and efforts so much. I am getting too old to track the movement of hurricanes toward my loved ones, as I have done now for decades……. not good for the BP 😉
But your POSTS and Wolf’s tree have given me so much comfort ! Yes, you were correct from the get0go, “we will get through this, WWG1WGA” …………. I’m sure I speak for many others here who are themselves in harm’s way and/or have family or property at risk, when I say God Bless you for your devotion, your spirit and relentless drive to help others.
This ^^^^^^^^^^^. Much gratitude from me also
https://www.live5news.com/2019/09/05/tree-crashes-into-n-charleston-boys-bedroom-during-hurricane-dorian/
Young boy NOT harmed.
Most trees in Charleston area are “Live Oaks” ……… their roots are literally at ground surface…… so strong gust winds topple them easily. One of the real horrors for me personally was seeing entire LARGE Live Oaks lying on the surface of the ground after Hurricane Hugo… some of the trees quite ancient.
DORIAN eyewall moving close to land in SC!
Danger of tornadoes in a hurricane’s feeder bands…..
Beach disappears under huge waves…..
hope the cottages and land they’re on don’t go also……………….
think what Dorian CAT 3/4 would be doing ? Water surge would be double, right?
Thank you Lord !
Plus, if I’m understanding correctly, what is happening is all with the eye of Dorian about 30 miles out..if it had blown in with the eye closer…. much worse
absolutely Molly……… thank goodness for the turn eastward
Water rushing into neighborhood….
Took almost 20 yrs. to establish new dune line at Isle of Palms after Hugo…. biggest factor in success at all was ‘sea oats’ …………. which far too many people ignorantly plucked ‘to take home’ …………
It’s illegal in FL to pick sea oats!
illegal in South Carolina also………. but tourists don’t understand why they’re so important, or don’t care, or don’t see the numerous posted signs (sigh)
oops, some locals are probably also guilty.
Cannot!!!!! pick Sea Oats!
So right!
In our area, when I was a kid, when we finally got there we’d pile out of the car and just trample through anybody’s property up and over the dunes to get on the beach. Now it’s not allowed..or at least by beach conscious peeps. The dunes are doing much better there. There’s only a few public paths now but overall ppl are good about it thankfully
LOL, plus homeowners put up little fences to keep tramplers off and oats growing..yeah, the fences helped!
A storm watcher’s delight.

“This hurricane better hurry up before half of South Carolina dies from alcohol poisoning waiting on it’s slow ass”
Y’all got a bunch of them there Whisky-palians up that way???
Tons at the beach Georgia !
hahaha..just a little nip..and another..and another..then…
Hurricanes can do crazy things….such as Ginger did in 1971:
More Hurricane data from Klotzbach:
Is he addressing 2000s only?
Hugo was Sept 22nd 1989 (date etched in my brain)
Hugo made landfall just north of Charleston, SC at Sullivan’s Island around midnight September 22, 1989 as a Category 4 storm with estimated maximum sustained winds of 135-140 mph and a minimum central pressure of 934 mb (27.58 inches of Hg). ~ wiki
I don’t know – several folks have disagreed with Klotzbach leaving out storms they endured up close and personal!!!
Well, some homework is needed… 😉
Here’s another (I’m really not going to do his homework for him 😉 ) and yes, Floyd was another up close and personal………….. family drove up here to Aiken….. took them HOURS to evacuate Charleston (2.25 hr trip, my aged father drove bumper to bumper for 8 hrs., niece driving behind him)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Floyd formed Sept 7, 1999 CAT 4
I’ll stop here…………………….. but ol’ memory says there’s still more.
If you tweet – send this to him!
I don’t tweet Georgia ………… too paranoid they would be knocking on my door 😉
Someone I saw today was wearing an
I survived the Sept 22nd 1989 Hurricane!
Tee shirt.
Some serendipity there !

Is ok, at least you didn’t send the heat with em!😉🤓
That’ll dry things up from the storm.
FL panhandle never got any rain from Dorian!
thanks for the info Georgia…………..
Ohh Georgia…………. that’s horrid ! Don’t you dare mow the lawn ! Not today, not ’til temp goes down!
The whole state of FL is going to be HOT all week!!!
A LONG hard day in the Carolinas…..

I thought you said the winds weren’t over 40 mph on the Carolina coast?
We weren’t, on the coast this was 34 miles out AT SEA
Anyone else think it Eerie that we still don’t have video from NW Bahamas??🤨 Day 2 after storm ⛈⛈⛈
Yes!
Not sure which Bahama island this was, but I would think this kind of damage is all over the rest of them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZCptsYj27o
We’ve only gotten video from Abaco,Marsh Habor which is the NE side of island. They got pounded first, then storm sat on the NW side of island, Freeport, Grand Bahamas, etc…
US took Bahama officials up Tuesday for aerial tour of NE island and immediately released videos. They were supposed to tour NW side yesterday. We got nodda, zip, no videos.
“…They were supposed to tour NW side yesterday. We got nodda, zip, no videos.”
That does not sound good.
1. Total wipeout and area is completely under water so nothing to see.
2. Video reveals military secrets pertaining to what the Chinese were up to and therefore will NOT be released.
The Chinese port seems to be in the Freeport area.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2001/nov/20/20011120-031258-1817r/
Yep, See my recon post below.
Oh, my – What a mess!!!
Oh my, 200 body bags ordered for Abacco
http://bahamaspress.com/2019/09/05/an-environmental-disaster-unfolding-in-east-end-grand-bahama/
Maybe the plane was full of food and other emergency provisions the storm survivors desperately need.
And it wouldn’t surprise me to find the body count on all those islands to be way more than recorded so far.
It’s time to get recovery teams with cadaver dogs to comb through all the wreckage.
Freeport rescue
OmyLord…all those people in the rafters..if that boat hadn’t come by, if the boat hadn’t seen them..they were blessed with a second chance
They just kept coming out, didn’t they???
yes! I couldn’t believe it. Did notice the gals had their purses…never leave without yo purse!
Yes I did! And the rescuer was like, oh here, a purse? I want people, give me people, and another purse, where’s the people, give me people 😃
I’m in Tidewater area, Virginia. Been dark and gloomy all day. Has that weird atmosphere that comes before these storms. Mandatory evacuation for our beach areas.
Winds and rain expected around daybreak Friday. We’ll be under a tornado watch as well.
Did want to leave this which came through my email:
From Mr. Den Black:
“Goes all the way back to the early 1600’s
Note, in particular the Hurricanes of 1749 and 1803 that CREATED Willoughby Spit.
The 1749 Chesapeake Bay TIDE SURGE was 15 Feet.
Almost double the 8 foot surge that was associated with Hurricane Isabel in 2003.
http://www.virginiaplaces.org/climate/hurricanes.html
Some pretty violent ‘Climatic Times’ occurred 300-400 years AGO.
That was well before America had People, Cars, and Industry to ‘Cause’ all of this, so-called, MAN-MADE ‘Climate Change.”
He’s right about Willoughby Spit, now a populated area in Norfolk, Virginia.
“….Some pretty violent ‘Climatic Times’ occurred 300-400 years AGO…..”
That sounds like a real OH CHIT!!!

I heard a Bahamian woman being interviewed asking where was/is the Defense Corps (I think I heard name correctly)…………yes ma’m……….indeed, where are they ?
Ok, Did some google recon. (I love google maps! Drilling down to street level! I’ve loved maps since I was a kid, my favorite subject since 1st grade, LOL☺️)
The tweet is for visual map purposes.
So we’re talking about the 2 northern most islands in the cluster of the Bahama islands, which is where Dorian parked for 36+ hours.
The videos of all the devastation we’ve been seeing are from Abaco. Marsh Harbor, which is in the center of the island seems to be the largest concentration of population. Coopers Town, which is where China built the port, is located at the very top of Abaco. Doubt we’ll be hearing any info on it, IYKWIM.
Grand Bahamas population was 51,000+ In 2010. Largest population concentration is in Freeport which is located in the south center of the island. The blue/green satellite pictures of the before/after island under water (posted by Miss Wheatie this morning) is a picture of the center of Grand Bahamas. We’ve seen one water rescue from Freeport. There was a picture of a broken plane this morning and we know the airport is under water. I’m now beginning to wonder if the reason we’re getting no videos from Grand Bahamas is because they’re under water and everyone drowned. 😩
“… I’ve loved maps since I was a kid,….”
ME TOO! I have topo maps of most of the area around me and my farm marked on one of my maps. (They occupy the top shelf of a book case— THE ENTIRE shelf and then some)
We don’t use GPS we use MAPS. Actually my parents gave me the map on long trips to keep me quiet. I can not remember when I could not read a map! I even did cave maping starting in college. (Why did I always get the end of the tape that had to be taken down the smallest crawlway.)
Me TOO TOO!! I can read them ALL DAY!!! 😍🦋🦋🤸♂️🤸♂️🦋🦋
As far as the GPS, I turn off the volume and am constantly zooming in and out the screen as I travel, constantly gotta know where I’m at now in relation to my destination, kinda like following the Map!!! 😊
CROSSTHREAD *** how are yall doing? Looks like it’s up in your stomping grounds now
