Those folks could use any prayer and good thoughts, vibes, and energies you are of a mind to share. #Dorian

And once #Dorian has passed, turn those prayers and good thoughts, vibes, and energies into action by donating money (not stuff) to the relief charity of your choice. Our fellow humans in the Bahamas will need help.

I’ve been doing weather professionally for two decades and watching it longer than that. The only thing I have left when I see these incredible updates from satellite, radar, recon, and the NHC is this:

@nsj Those poor people

@nsj And it's likely to be totally overswept. Have you read Isaac's Storm? Can't recommend highly enough.

@nsj I still remember the 8+ hours of 75-85 MPH winds from Fran 23 years ago. 100+ MPH is almost unfathomable.

@nsj The closest I can compare was a derecho that hit central NY in September 1998 The complex of storms went from 1:15a with the worst of it- finally ending around 5am and the max est. winds were 115-120mph. I can not fathom how bad it will be in the Northern parts of the Bahamas

@nsj @BeckyQuick Tks in my country Portugal we don't have this but I think the global environment is the cause

@nsj @robperillo Yep and worse part is usually the back side of eye instead of the frontal part.

@nsj Even those who went through hurricanes in the US probably went through something a fraction of what is going on in the Bahamas (yet still devastating), and/or only for maybe an hour or two at its peak. This is truly nature at its worst.

@nsj Clearly you're never been to the Uk.

@nsj @BeckyQuick Worst weather I've experienced is 24 hours of this

@nsj @JaniceDean Prayers for all affected by Dorian.

@nsj Thanks for providing that perspective. I cannot imagine.

@nsj @JaniceDean Both are bad...in all fairness,people had days to prepare for this. We had a tornado this spring and had about two minutes.

@nsj I was in Houston for Harvey...I never want to see devastation like that again
