    This is only little old PriusChat. You get way more than three strikes here.

    Isn't it much too early for a meaningful count?

    Nearly half of houses on two Bahama target islands were damaged or destroyed. Other half must be pretty darn tough.

    If current projections at windy.com 'hold water', protruding bits of North Carolina will feel the gaze of Dorian's eye, Friday to Saturday.

    So why not look through a brief history of scrapings there?

    I have some really good friends who own a house there on Scotland Cay. They don't know for sure yet, but they figure it's probably gone. Their concern is for the poor folks there who don't have the resources to recover.

    A few more hours of Dorian light scrape of N Carolina and it's off to far and less.

    Best imaginable outcome for US, and Bahamas is where things and people need to get helped.

    Just some breezes and a minor rain band over here. Nothing we wouldn't get on any other typical summer day.

    We're still awaiting the first "cold" front. "Feels like" yesterday was over 110F. Sheriff's department issued a heat advisory yesterday and today. Dew point right now is 80F. ICKKY! :(

    Some tornadoes in NC. They seem to be attracted to mobile home/RV parks.

    Please note that both bicycle riders have helmets :)

    Finding all the live and injured people in northernmost Bahama islands, and keeping them alive, will be a very large task. Counting the dead, perhaps impossible. So it's fair enough to speak out against smiling at this time.

    I could instead have stressed that even where strongest winds remain offshore, tornadoes commonly occur.

    ==
    NC islands (Okracoke and nearby) are now scene of many rescues after storm surge. Mandatory evacuation orders not followed. Not entirely unlike the bike helmet thing above.
