    The steering from the gulf side of Florida pushing south makes me wonder if that could possibly influence it west of it stays stationary for more than a day

      The government give an official weather update every hour, if people bought a weather radio ,they can follow the track of Dorian, with relative information,instead all outdated info

      When I clicked on the “Monday” video, the audio from the video from last night started playing, even though the video was new. Weird. I reloaded the page and then it worked correctly.

    Speechless for the Bahamas. In shock. Dorian and Levi go into the history books. Dorian for delivering hell on earth, and Levi for being the voice of reason no matter how bad the news Dorian delivered.

    The amount of wind and water Grand Bahama is dealing with , it is just so sad

      Approaching 72 hours of Cat4/5 wind and rain with the eye on the coast. It’s a Level Event situation.

    Thank you, Levi. I searched madly for you, because I couldn’t recall your name from the last time I was concerned about a hurricane. I finally stumbled into you on twitter, and I’m grateful. You’re bookmarked now, so I won’t have to hunt for you again. Grateful.

    Great commentary. Amazing how much info you pack in to 10 minutes. I figure the computer models account for this (I’m not a meteorologist). But if the storm is weakening due to ocean upwelling, is there a chance it could strengthen again once it moves north into 85F waters? I wonder how solid the models are on this given how few storms are this powerful.

      Bill T. It’s a weather model like the GFS or Euro. Unlike the GFS and Euro is mostly used in hurricane forecasting.

    Levi – thank you for your excellent commentary leading up to and throughout this nightmare event for the Bahamas.

    While the surge flooding has obviously been devastating, has the location of the stalling in that bay off the north shore kept the worst of the eyewall winds out of the most populated part of Freeport? What are the maximum sustained winds that have been experienced in the main city area, which looks about 20-25 statute miles SW of the centre of today’s wobbling eye?

    Thanks for your continued efforts.

    I’m having problems seeing this moving drastically north, missing a lot of Florida. I still hear that a large hurricane can move fast when turning, they turn slowly.

    May just be a wobble but think not, Dorian eye started collapsing, went from annular to
    A strange smaller shape and lifted north by northwest movement it appears. We may have liftoff Houston… Next stop a visit near Cape Canaveral maybe? Let us only hope it is movement north, the Bahamians have had much more than they ever deserved of Damian’s punishing blows!

      Eye wall is collapsing until it takes a nice swig of that hot water in the gulf stream soon! Hoping it doesn’t follow the icon wind models.. the Bahamas are basically uninhabitable now 😔 it’s so sad and crazy seeing and just knowing how many loved ones people lost. One of the worst hurricanes in a very long time.

    Levi. Your work wi the models is wonderful. Very clearly explained, which is refreshing. I just don’t understand why the live feed from the Bahamas looks so calm. It’s looked like a very mild storm for the past three day each time I checked. Please have a look. https://www.portnassauwebcam.com/

    Thank you for a calm, factual report. Obviously, you aced meteorology but failed drama and sound effects. Even so, slow the voice down a bit, use fewer words to avoid monotone. Well done.

      Beg to differ. Lost of us like the calming effect of his ‘monotone” narrative; which is exactly why I like his video blogs.

    Love your weather knowledge and the way you present. I am tired of the “dramatic” meteorologists on tv. I mean the wind and rain outside is no more than a summer afternoon storm in South Florida, but somehow the meteorologist have it as a devastating rain coming through.
    My heart goes out to our Bahama neighbors. Dorian, you need to go so we can help our friends out there get their lives back together.

    I would love to see the Florida Legislature effect a special resolution to provide significant financial aid to assist in the reconstruction the Bahamas.

    A big part of Florida’s good fortune came at the expense of Dorian’s two day delay in westward movement. That delay in westward movement resulted in the near total destruction of the northern parts of the Bahamas. We owe them something for their suffering.

      We should definitely help they are devastated beyond anything I’ve EVER seen before. And American tourism including Disney is dependent on the Bahamas for their commerce. Help them immediately!!!
