At the time of this writing, the National Weather Service's National Hurricane Center reports Eye of category 5 Dorian moving little while over Grand Bahama island. That page also contains several other views and forecasts of the storm.

Though it no longer looks like Florida will get a "direct hit", the storm's currently-predicted run up the US Atlantic coast promises storm surges, very heavy rain with potential flooding, and of course high winds.

For those who lie in the path of this beast, please accept my personal best wishes for you and your loved ones making it through safely.

What sites have you found to be the most informative, timely, and useful? Special credit for those which are minimally sensationalistic. Any webcams to recommend? How are things in your area? What preparations are you making?

    I will be a great CAT 6 hurricane.

    Is that like a gigabit hurricane?

    I can't answer that, but what I can tell you that a CAT6 chimpout is one Giga-niggas, many of them armed with 4 arms each and a chest-cannon like Black versions of the Übermutant in Wolf 3D.

    Also, the hurricane is the result of a government-operated weather-weapon utilized conveniently to destroy the evidence buried under all that concrete on Epstein Island. So when the feds finally get the approval to go search for the evidence, it will be in the Land of Oz and the only way to reach it will be to hitch a ride with Hillary on her broom. And Hillary has quite the cackle on those long-distance trips.
