We have lived through all of them since 2003 and haven't had much of a problem. We will buy food on our normal schedule. The worst part is if I have to go into work to secure our building before the storm. Yeah, we evacuated to Atlanta and stayed with my maw-in-law 2 years ago (Irma IIRC) and our nextdoor neighbor said power didn't even go out so honestly, I'm not expecting much here either. We've had so many bad storms this summer, it's ridiculous. Pretty much all we needed was to make sure we have plenty bread for PB sandwiches, as I said earlier. Beyond that, we always have a good stock of batteries, candles, etc. Really my biggest fear is our power going out for an extended period. My family will not be happy if I don't have AC!!!!

CodeRocket 410 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I just looked at the latest computer model output graphics and the compiled forecast track has shifted east. Keeping my fingers crossed that this will be a "fish storm" and the people of Florida and the southeast will be spared. Link: https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/atlantic/2019/hurricane-dorian?map=model I always read the forecast discussion in addition to looking at the computer model outputs.

AUBourne 425 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I'm in Melbourne and after the nightmare trip we had before the last hurricane I'm not doing that again. Took us 18 hours to travel from Melbourne to Bham. We are about 4 miles from the coast. Shutters are up and the pantry is stocked. Hopefully Dorian fades like UGA in a national title chase.

Leftfield 2,607 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Everyone in Florida please stay safe! Hope we didn't jinx you... last year we left our vacation at Dauphin Island a week before Gordon hit. Well, we just got home from Universal Studios this past Monday. Maybe we should try Tehran next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,075 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Euro model. This could be extremely nervous for the southern Florida residents. Incredible how something so powerful could essentially stop on a dime. Bahamas may be wiped out. Feel bad for those residents. Just one model.
