man, what a beast.. i lived in FL, seeing a storm that looks like that coming your way is a scary sight. It's fun to watch out in the Atlantic but if it makes LF it will be bad.
Yessir...I stayed on campus for a couple days, then they closed it and encouraged everyone to go home for a couple weeks. I had to get a ride to FLT airport at 5:00 am thru a curfew. Fun stuff Classes didn't started until later in Sept.
I was south of the curfew/limited access area. Had to go through military checkpoints to get home I lived at the Crossing which is at 112st..lots of destruction being in the northern eyewall
yeap, it took the perfect tract to avoid any disruption, only hope is the environment is not as good as forecasted as it nears FL.. I also agree this might jog WSW at some point, I think anywhere from Daytona Beach to Key West is still fair game.

Latest SHIPS diagnostic message on Tropical Storm #Dorian: There's an abnormally high (44%) chance of rapid intensification of 45kt in 36 hours. This is 10 times higher than the climatological mean. Bold stance.
First time something has shown up in a few weeks, so hopefully something to start tracking over the next 10 days and leave the other folks to talk about Dews in the main thread
