And here we go! Dorian (currently Cat1) is making his way towards the eastcoast of Florida, rapidly picking up speed in the process. Let's take a look at the (current) worst case scenario: As a comparison, another Category 4 that struck Florida was Hurricane Charley in 2004, which killed 35 people and caused ~$20.000.000.000 in damages. Hurricane Charley aftermath  Right now, Dorian is still expected to sit between Cat3 and Cat4 when he hits on Monday morning. Either way, this is the first major hurricane this year and we're only getting started. Source: https://edition.cnn.com/2019/08/29/us/dorian-forecast-thursday-wxc/index.html More to come soon - |

Puerto Rico just barely dodged this one, it would've been an absolute disaster had they been hit. Well, maybe later this year they'll get hit anyway. I'll try to find some surveillance cameras on the beaches before the storm hits, so we can watch it go down live. Tracking Dorian live! a beach where Dorian could realistically hit |

| Fuck. Why am I always away when the real shit goes down. Just nuke the hurricane already. |
| They really ought to give these things more intimidating names. I'd rather not get killed by something called Dorian. |
 |
| Last hurricane was no big deal. Besides, having no power for a week because of the snapped power poles. Looking forward to this one. I went shopping for supplies yesterday, there was still splenty of water, but not a single bag of Doritos in sight. Just shows you what people prioritize. |
| Predictions are it'll be category 1 by the time it hits Orlando, so hopefully I'll be saved from the worst of the storm. I never lost power back during Irma, I hope that stands true this time as well cause it's free vacation. SpamuraiSensei said: Looking forward to this one.

| I hope it doesn't hits so hard. My cousin is staying in Panama Beach and they are still trying to rebuild Tyndall AFB with limited resources. |

| Here's another beach camera, this one sitting in Miami on Dania Beach And another one in Freeport, on the Bahamas where the hurricane will hit first https://www.cruisin.me/cruise-port-webcams/caribbean/freeport-bahamas2/ Dorian is now a Category 4. He might not make landfall but instead linger in front of the coast, which is just as bad tbh. More to come tomorrow. |

heg said: no they're not nearly the same.Railey2 said: deg please this is the Atlantic Hurricane Season Thread, what are you doing talking about the monsoon lmao i love you but please isnt storms that are in water intensifies the rains like monsoon? Winds are caused by differences in pressure and temperature, like have you ever been in a very warm room and then opened the window while it's cold outside? You can feel the air rushing in, because of the differences in temperature. The monsoon is just like that, it happens because of large scale differences in temperature, because landmass and oceans absorb heat at different rates. Basically, the ocean is the outside, and the place where you're living is the room, and the window is always open. Hurricanes are different, because they are caused by differences in temperature and pressure that are contained within the hurricane itself. The way it works exactly is kinda hard to wrap your head around, but here's a picture.  Simplified, it's like you have one spot where the air is really warm, and then a shitload of cold air that swirls around that spot. Basically, the oceans are really warm, so the air rises up (warm air rises up), and then it cools down because it's colder the higher you go. Then the air falls down again (cold air falls down), and at that point it heats up again and becomes warm air again, rinse and repeat. Then it becomes on giant swirly mess. When a storm works like that, it's called a "cyclone". Here's another picture, looking at a hurricane from the side. If you look at the arrows, you can see the feedback loop that I've just described.  Incidentally, climate change is making cyclones way worse because the oceans are warmer than they used to be. Warmer oceans -> warmer air -> larger differences in temperature and pressure -> faster swirly winds. You follow? Hurricanes and Typhoons are both types of cyclones, but they have different names because they occur in different regions of the earth. Hurricanes specifically form on the northern hemisphere, in the Atlantic or relatively close to the western border of the US, usually hitting central or northern America. Typhoons form closer to Asia and usually hit Asia. There are cyclones that form on the southern hemisphere and hit Africa or Australia, but they don't have a special name, they're just called cyclones. Hurricanes, Typhoons and the cyclones on the southern hemisphere all work the same way though. Here's an illustration. Note that everything on this picture is a cylone, some just have special names.  The monsoon isn't a cyclone. |

| @Railey2 ye i did not mean to make monsoon and hurricanes/cyclone be the same i just meant that when a cyclone/hurricane/typhoon does not make landfall but still part of the area of responsibility of a country then monsoon rains will intensify around the whole/part of the country instead since that is usually the weather forecast here in the philippines |
| ok guys, things changed a bit since last time. The hurricane is probably not making landfall in Florida anymore, but the storm surge will be catastrophic anyway. Instead, it might hit Georgia or the Carolinas. In any case, it's gonna go over the Bahamas and mess everything up there real good. They'll experience 40+ hours of 150km/h strong winds. Tonight is the first time where we'll see some live destruction on camera. Great Abaco is gonna get hit first |

| Dorian now Category 5, hitting the Bahamas LIVE |

| Those palm trees are fucked. Brings a tear to my eyes. Still no torn down houses on that live stream, so not that bad. |
| Oooh shit..hopefully Florida-man will save the day. Also RIP to the one unlucky person to die so far. Hopefully it's not going to be any more. |
| is Category 5 the highest storm warning there? because we only have up to signal number 4 here in the philippines and lol i just finished watching Godzilla King of Monsters the other day and reminds me of a huge storm is just Ghidorah (the 3 headed alien dragon) |
| I used to live in Florida and went through my fair share of hurricanes. They're no joke, so if you live on the coast or in the Bahamas, heading inland should be considered. Shuttering your house's windows is a good idea too. I hope people stay safe. As has been previously said, they are not like monsoons. Yes, there is heavy rain, but along with the floods come tearing winds. Within a hurricane, even tornados can form. Plus, if you live in Florida, your resident alligator just got a bigger pool to swim in. |

photophobic said: who the fuck is picking these names? imagine losing everything to a dorian. The government has six lists of names (alternating male and female) that they go through, one a year. Particularly catastrophic hurricanes have their names retired. So there won't be another Katrina or Andrew, for example. |
 set made by Ale, circa 2016 |
this is something else. I don't think I've seen damage like that before. The problem was that the Hurricane just sat on top of that island for 40 hours as a category 5 and didn't move, so this is the result. Right now there are 5 confirmed deaths and 2 indirect deaths, but that number will rise soon. I wouldn't be surprised if it went up to a 100. Just look at that utter destruction... no words. |

| Oh shit! I got distracted an forgot to set the waypoints for the hurricane before I went to my cover job.My bad ;_; |

Peaceful_Critic said: Yeah, Dorian has probably run its course. Cat 2 can still be pretty bad if it hits a city (awful, actually), but it's unlikely to come to that.Just a little update, when Dorian came for Florida it was a level 2("The storm’s peak sustained winds were 105 mph, making it a high-end Category 2 storm."). Probably it'll turn around and fizzle out over the Atlantic Ocean. That being said, there's another one coming up, projected to turn into a Hurricane within the next week. Unlikely to hit anything as it's so far away but we'll see. These things can always escalate. Irma formed in a similar spot.  |

| Nevermind, it's making landfall in Carolina as a Category 3. Seems like Dorian isn't quite done yet. |

| Well, I guess Florida avoided most contact with Dorian. Now it's made its way to the Carolinas. Apparently there has been some flooding and other damage, though the storm downgraded to a Category 1. As for the climate change conspiracy theorists, it's quite sad, but there are so many people who are lost because they just believe what they want to instead of reality. |
| I question the intelligence of anyone who sticks around in a non-hurricane approved shelter when you know a CAT 4 possibly 5 is headed directly towards you. They've had DAYS notice. |
| I have never understood people who continue to live in areas that consistently get wiped out by hurricanes. I value my anime figure collection way too much to ever consider moving to a high risk area. |

DiscoDespot said: moving away would cost a lot of money. Some people are simply to poor to move, plus let's be honest the Bahamas are kinda nice.I have never understood people who continue to live in areas that consistently get wiped out by hurricanes. I value my anime figure collection way too much to ever consider moving to a high risk area. Well, not anymore I suppose. Latest reports say that the death toll might be in the quadruple digits. Higher triple digits for sure. I've never seen such devastation after a hurricane. |
