   Looking at the #NOAA / #NHC site, https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ , I see #Hurricane Dorian is still lashing the Bahamas with wind speeds of 185MPH (that’s about 300km/h) gusting up to 200MPH (that’s about 325km/h) and storm surge up to 23 feet (that’s about 7 meters).
   
   For #FL, it looks like the storm center will be North of Miami, but a storm is not a dot. It is an irregular roundish spiral-like area that can be hundreds of miles across. Nearly all of Florida (and parts of #GA, #SC, #NC, #VA) is likely to face some part of this storm.
   
   On the West Coast, #TropStorm Julliette is heading away from land, so its progrssion toward hurricane status should not be of major importance.

     @lnxw48a1 Julliette will still be a hazard to navigation, though.

     @lnxw48a1 Every time I see one of these videos of some storm/hurricane from space, I realize how big and terrifying they are https://www.space.com/hurricane-dorian-satellite-gifs-nasa-noaa.html
