Hurricane Dorian is lashing the northeast coast of Florida and will soon begin its siege of storm surge flooding, high winds and flooding rain from Georgia to South Carolina, North Carolina and southeast Virginia.

Dorian’s maximum winds have backed off from Sunday’s peak, currently a Category 2 hurricane. Regardless, Dorian will have significant, damaging impacts near and along the Southeast coast through Friday.

    I’m suitably amazed, the huge storm stopped dead, weakened then jogged north. A small and not particularly strong trough is nudging it NE around the high and relatively safely away from the US. That massive wad of water and energy just wanders around like a slow pinball, being moved by invisible bumpers where it will transfer the heat it carries to the northern Atlantic as it rains out.

    Yup, and it all happened through accident.

      Reminds me of the 80s off Key West when marijuana runners would toss bales of weed overboard when chased by the Coast Guard. The bales would be out there floating on the ocean and the Conchs would be out there trying to fish them out. One of the major t-shitst for sale down there had “Save the Bales” printed on them.
