Well, that certainly escalated quickly. On Wednesday we were told that Hurricane Dorian would only be a Category 3 storm when it hits the Florida coastline, but now we are being told that it will be a Category 4 storm. Hurricane Dorian is rapidly gaining strength over very warm waters in the Atlantic Ocean, and the latest forecast has it making landfall somewhere along the east coast of Florida on Monday. If it is officially a Category 4 storm when it arrives, it will be the most powerful storm to hit the east coast of Florida since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Dorian is being described as a “monster hurricane”, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has already declared a state of emergency for all 67 counties in the state of Florida.
We will see how things develop over the next several days, but at this point it has become clear that Dorian has the potential to be an exceedingly dangerous storm.
In fact, President Trump himself is telling us that Dorian could be “perhaps one of the biggest” hurricanes that the U.S. has ever seen…
Hurricane Dorian looks like it will be hitting Florida late Sunday night. Be prepared and please follow State and Federal instructions, it will be a very big Hurricane, perhaps one of the biggest!
The reason why meteorologists are so concerned is because Dorian will be traveling over extremely warm waters for the next 48 hours, and that means that we should see “steady intensification during the next 2 to 3 days”…
“The warmer the water, the more moisture is in the air,’’ the website for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says. “And that could mean bigger and stronger hurricanes.’’
The weather service said current conditions in the Atlantic “should allow for at least steady intensification during the next 2 to 3 days.’’
We haven’t seen such favorable conditions for a storm in a very long time, and so ultimately it is difficult to project just how bad this storm will turn out to be.
At this point, authorities are telling us that we should expect winds of “at least 130 mph” when it finally strikes the mainland…
It is in that kind of environment that Hurricane Dorian, currently at Category 1, is expected to gain considerable strength as it heads northwest, with the Sunshine State almost certainly on its path.
Forecasts call for Dorian to increase in intensity and become a Category 4 hurricane, with winds of at least 130 mph, and it could strike the U.S. on Labor Day. The National Hurricane Center says it will “remain an extremely dangerous hurricane through the weekend.’’
It is interesting to note that Thursday was the 14th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina hitting New Orleans. We remember what a monstrous storm that was, but the truth is that it was only a Category 3 storm when it made landfall…
New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell commemorated the 14th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina today during a wreath-laying ceremony.
LaToya and other public officials gathered at the Katrina Memorial on Canal Street to remember the victims of the storm, which made landfall near Grand Isle, Louisiana, in 2005 as a Category 3 storm with winds near 127 mph.
So that means that Hurricane Dorian has the potential to be worse than Hurricane Katrina.
And Florida is not the only state that is in danger. Some meteorologists are warning that after it passes over Florida, Dorian could enter the Gulf of Mexico, restrengthen, and make “a second landfall” somewhere along the Gulf Coast…
Though it’s forecast to hit somewhere along the east coast of Florida, there “is certainly a chance that the storm could drift into the Gulf of Mexico and produce a second landfall,” noted University of Georgia meteorologist Marshall Shepherd in Forbes.
In addition, we shouldn’t discount the possibility that Dorian could continue turning south, bypass Florida entirely, and enter the Gulf of Mexico as one of the most dangerous storms that we have ever seen.
Needless to say, that would definitely be a “nightmare scenario”, and there are many of us that will be watching the development of this storm with great interest.
We just don’t know how this storm is going to play out yet, but store shelves in Florida are already being stripped clean as residents feverishly prepare for what is ahead…
In Port Orange, 40 miles northeast of Orlando, Brooke Koontz found shelves of bread and water nearly empty at a Walmart on Wednesday. There were also slim pickings among canned goods, toiletries and bananas, too.
Thankfully, soon after she arrived, employees brought out a pallet of water.
“It was gone in seconds,” she told CNN. “People were trying to race.”
Of course if they had gotten prepared in advance, there would be no need to panic.
What is happening in Florida right now should be a lesson for all of us. If a horrific national crisis of some sort were to suddenly erupt, food and other critical supplies would disappear from the stores almost instantly. If you were not one of the lucky few that got to the stores in time, you would be forced to depend on whatever you already had on hand. And for many Americans, that is not a whole lot.
If this storm is as powerful as they are now projecting, it is likely that there will be widespread power outages. One south Florida resident told one reporter that his family was without power for 13 days after Hurricane Irma struck two years ago…
Sanchez, who was filling tanks of gas for generators after he waited his turn, told NBC affiliate WBBH of Fort Myers that he didn’t want to have to relive what he and his family went through during Hurricane Irma two years ago.
“We were stuck with no electricity for almost 13 days, so you see I’m going to be prepared,” he said.
It certainly appears that this storm will be much more powerful than Hurricane Irma was when it made landfall, and that is really, really bad news for those living in the Sunshine State.
Let’s keep them in prayer, and let’s also hope that this storm doesn’t get into the Gulf of Mexico, because that would be the worst scenario of all for this storm.

Yankees have destroyed & polluted Florida politics and environments, and channeled the Kissimmee River so that it can only carry half the water nature had designed; if a hurricane floods that area like in the late 1940s, Yankee bodies will be bobbing with the rest of their building detritus.
I’m not kidding. Yankees bought swamp cheap, got gov’t to drain the swamp, built houses & sold to NY Homeboys; same genius thinking as New Orleans. Yankees built the Interstate north of there through a swamp; cars won’t float so good. The MSM sees nothing (wouldn’t want to screw up NY sales) until the disaster and then blames the Republicans; NYC Yankee Useful Idiots should stay in NYC.
Time will tell….the resulting damage can spark some rebuilding/recovery numbers, that’s for sure. Wait, our government would never manipulate their own populace……..would they?

“Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.
So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations. It’s real, and that’s the reason why we have to intensify our efforts, and that’s why this is so important. ”
Secretary of Defense, William S Cohen, April 28, 1997
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum-
Great videos. Thanks for sharing.
We had an all records breaking flood here over two years ago. The local rivers rose over 30 feet in about 10 hours. The feds had dispatched rescue crews into the area two days prior. Does that tell us something?
Climate change is solemnly and 100% a political instrument.

I’ve noticed that Keesler AFB was creamed by Camille in 1969. Two bases were destroyed: Homestead AFB by Andrew in 1992, and Tyndall AFB by Michael in 2018; and NASA is now worried about Dorian or any big one hitting Canaveral.
Hmmm lucky they will get CONgress to provide them with billions for new buildings etc after its damaged. Surely they bribed mother nature to steer it to another govt slush fund on the tax payers nickel
President Trump cancelled his overseas trip out of concern for a hurricane threatening Mar a Lago. The big softie is all heart.
He’s grown to love the people in that area and is surely very concerned about their wellbeing. Also, he’s the least racist person in the world.
Well folks,why we prep,and all those last minute stocking up,well,you do not get hit badly be grateful but also learn your lesson and be more prepped!
Hope is passes as just regular rain ect. and folks OK.
Going to be bright and sunny tomorrow for the straight pride parade in Boston,reports though do warn of antifa storms on the horizon!
Jimbo, I am getting the impression that Antifa is the younger generation’s revolt against Boomer oppression.
Antifa’s Useful Idiots prefer Communist oppression (whether they understand it or not): death camps, firing squads, and extreme poverty. I would prefer to take my chances in a Civil War like Spain 1936-39 (PS Antifa: the Communist were exterminated).
Robert Siddell…..The Spanish Civil War ’36-’39 type of conflict is what I find most likely in the FUSA. And yes, happily the Commies were crushed.
EC,while I agree the young folks in this country getting fucked(along with the rest of us),attacking free speech and actually attacking folks who you do not agree with politically really not a great game plan unless open war,don’t even get me going on the mask nonsense(understand gas masks ect.).
Super Happy Fun America has driven the progs crazy just getting the permit for the march!They are also a all inclusive group which is important to me as I have identity fluidity,I at times identify as a ring tailed lemur or a DC9 bulldozer depending on day and how frisky I am feeling,may have sexual congress with other power machinery!
Actually,just going for laughs and to support any who drive the libs crazy,that,and all the college girls back in town and partying hard before the semester begins,what’s not to love!
I am down in me hometown area(growing up) for work anyhow so might as well go for it!
Oh,and did not give ya’s a neg.!Enjoy the holiday weekend you all,even the poor bastards caught in the storm path,besides groceries you did stock up on booze,right…..?!
3 attaboys 4 the 1st person who posts a link to a leftie statement about the hurricane coming close to mira lago because is a bad person,etc.–
ditto 4 statements about florida being a red state so we deserve it & shouldn’t receive any aid–
I would never cheer for a destructive hurricane or wildfire to hit anywhere. I’m a pacifist.
you ain’t no pacifist,just not an ahole,most of the time–
gotta go fix a roof–my honduran familia that walked in,were held in a shelter 4 a month,and set free do not want agua coming in on them–
Won`t be long before the S. Floridians come streaming/screaming Westbound on Interstate 10 through Gods country up hyar, pissed off yet again at gas lines et al. What a business!!!
Make another gallant effort at slowing Dorian down your way Tampa Red, afore it tries to slander my neck of the woods. For the good of humanity!
i hope it was worth it to you 2/3–the latest track has it hitting the coast & then hanging a hard right all the way up the coast–
problem is,it will devastate the entire coastline & 000 s of properties will be destroyed–
maybe it’ll stay off the coast completely–
Weren’t worth it to me. I had no gas or water to sell em. Saddened me to see so many disgruntled Americans on their trail of tears when Irma appeared. Her eye went right over me. Natures way, I reckon.
(Cue the song)
#FakeNews click-bait
Thoughts…
-Bananas? Wouldn’t be high on my list of items to stock up on.
A sign carried by a doomsday vagabond in a cartoon once:
Jesus Is Coming.
And, boy, is He pissed.
Not to say that Dorian et. al are punishments from the Almighty.
I have friends in the panhandle, and prayerfully wish them well.
They shall remain nameless, but there’s a well known one on this platform, plus a few others that we ought to be concerned for.
Batten down the hatches, my southern friends.
Here’s one Yankee that hopes you emerge from any wreckage safely.
We`ll kick its ass and send it back to Africa
No bananas on the boat. Go Noles tomorrow at noon in Tally.
Directed Energy Weapons
vizzle,
don’t tell anybody so they won’t get suspicious when we slip out of the south 4 a couple of weeks but another directed energy weapon came off the coast of africa yesterday–
Kinda surprised they didn’t call it Donald.
I’m having a hurricane party.
That’s the right attitude Vote!
Surely this is all Trumps fault. Somehow some way. It is his fault, will be his fault. And the aftermath the dems will surely do a Bush on Trump. Orange man bad.
Markets tanking, China denying Trumps tweet they want to now talk about tariffs. DEW’s (directed energy weapons) now causing a distraction away from things because the gun false flags no longer work.
(PS, whoever hacked my shit and gave me this name and moniker i hope you all please reply so as to seriously fill up his inbox with replies. Surely he knows I can overclock his shit and make it fry an egg. I have location and ip address and can do whatever I choose whenever I choose. He screwed with the wrong dude. He reading this now think oh shit). Maybe he will now be serious annoyed or anxious……the cuck.
Yeah, Camille in 1969: Winds 225 mph.
Celia, 1970, Corpus Christi. Winds 160, gusts to 190.
Dorian? BFD for the TV folks..
I wonder if the Houston area is a hurricane magnet.
If it rides the Florida coast, it will be a BFD to the Florida Property Insurance Rates and to the Florida Tax Payers in the future to replace all the New Yorker’s Mansions along the beach.
I understand the corrupt whining bitch Carmen Yulin, mayor of San Juan, is desolate
because Dorian missed Puerto Rico. No chance now to blame Trump.
Stay classy Canada.
