Please note: I added the current forecast track image to the homepage down toward the bottom. It’s a link to the NHC. There’s also a water vapor satellite image GIF so you can see what’s happening with the appearance of the storm as it’s happening.

Hurricane Dorian, now a cateogry four hurricane with 140mph winds, is expected to make landfall early next week. The storm track cone has the landfall somewhere in east central Florida around 8pm on Tuesday, possibly annihilating Cocoa Beach. If it goes that way, Dorian’s going to tear some shit up. It won’t be a pretty sight. Looking on the bright side, this forecast has been adjusted over and over again. First, it was predicted, as it was last summer, with an obviously flawed track through the middle of the state. A repeating tracking pattern through the middle of the state just makes me think that NOAA and the NWS are just little play things for the rich people in power who are in love with money, and are willing to tell the whole country that the whole state, from the east coast to the west coast, is going to get annihilated by Dorian, so people go out and buy excessively canned food and crap they don’t need. Then after the sufficient spike in sales, we saw the trend where the track shifts a little bit more east taking it through the middle of the state. Now we’re seeing a track where it rides up along the east coast. I just can’t believe how absurd the forecast tracks have been this summer and the last. I’m sure some people are getting a nice fat wad in there pockets after these storms, further encouraging the absurdity. The track the navy’s GFS is pushing out now shows the track not even reaching the east coast (image below also a link to forecast). It’s what one of the local weather stations was also saying could be a possibility. Soon, we may see the NHC update with the actual forecast track up along the east coast, who knows. I’m not going to lie to you, the track is still unsure, however trends are actually pretty common with these things. The trend takes these hurricanes up along the east coast, sometimes making landfall, sometimes not. All I can say for sure is, I think we’re safe here on the gulf.
