We are at 23 ft. elevation here in Wakulla County, and about 15 miles or so from the Gulf of Mexico. Mexico Beach is a mere 65 miles to the west of us, so it wouldn't have taken much of a jog in tracking for hurricane Michael to have been a real problem for us.

That was the first time I have been watching a hurricane track and forecast and had my spider sense tingling about being somewhere else when it made landfall.

A Cat 5 in Wakulla County would put water on the Leon County line.

I see a TS Dorian in the western Atlantic, but according to Ventusky it should dissipate sometime Tuesday night.

I don't think it is really anything right now. Wind speed to be categorized as a tropical storm is 39 mph. I'm only seeing a max of 27 mph on Ventusky. There is no notable drop in air pressure there, and if not for some small storms in that area, you would never notice it at all as anything noteworthy.

I think the *fake* media is desperate for evidence that "global warming" is going to destroy the world so they can implement all the government controls they want to in order to claim they are "fixing" that problem. This year's hurricane season is just not cooperating with them.

The Ventusky modeling is showing Dorian not dissipating until Thursday night now. Subject to change without notice....

But any sort of tropical storm landfall looks pretty remote, anyway. At least from that storm. But the models are showing quite a messy first week of September in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico.

Well, so much for that Ventusky modelling.... Dissipate my butt.....

Now it looks like they are forcasting Dorian to come on up to around St. Augustine on Sunday (09/01) afternoon and then just ride on up the coast until it goes inland in Georgia in the early AM hours of Tuesday (09/03). So Labor Day weekend isn't looking to be real fun for folks in that area.

It will keep going more and more north and i won't see anything from this. No rain in a week and it is dry again.
