This could be worse than a direct hit... [View all]

If Dorian does what they're showing now, it could be worse than a direct hit on Florida.

Instead of taking out Central Florida, it's starting to look like it will spend the better part of next week or longer sucking water out of the Atlantic and dumping it on 4 states, Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. Looking at rainfalls measured in feet in areas that have been waterlogged for months.

Throw in high winds, high surf, and storm surge and the whole Southeast Coastline is in jeopardy, including several miles or more inland.



Be safe, folks.
