It was the Bahamas Islands, near Freeport that were most affected. So far, there has been no landfall in Florida. If it hits us at all, it will be far to the both, perhaps not until Georgia or the Carolinas.
As of this morning, my reaction is meh... Rain, but not heavy. Breezes with some gusts, but not enough to make a flag on a pole rigid. Just a gloomy, rain day... These mini storms come in bands, spinning off from the backside of Dorian.
The flooding you are seeing in the various media is all worst-case video. That’s what the news and weather folks do.
To get and keep viewers, they need to present whatever data they have as dramatically as they can, while still being truthful (mostly). So, they do tend to exaggerate.
I go directly to the National Hurricane Center (NHC) website. This office is in Miami, and always had the best information.
Based on the best available information l, we are out of the threat cone here in southern Palm Beach County. The storm is moving SLOWLY to the north, away from us.
I plan to open up the bolted closed garage door in a little while.
In short... been there, done that.
WHEW! Dodged another hurricane bullet...
Thanks for your concern.
