Still just stalled over the Bahamas. Hardly moved for six hours.
 
For perspective having seen the shocking ground zeros at Mexico Beach and Tyndall, this storm is 20-30 mph higher and has larger eyewall than Michael. And Michael booked on through the panhandle like a running back through FSUs Dline. Those places are getting scrubbed from the planet.

Lot of these videos are reminiscent of video from the SE Asia Tsunami. More disturbing a lot of people were in structures that were collapsing, blowing away and could not avoid it. Really scared we are going to have a very high death toll due to surge and high prolonged catastrophic winds. 90 percent of these islands are 0-10 feet. Highest points often are 30-40.

My wife and I were in Freeport last March for a few days. There were areas that hadn't recovered from a previous storm. I imagine our favorite little restaurant is no more.
 
I knew before even starting the video that this is a smart man.

Him and Trump need to get together so they can drag an iceberg from Greenland down to Florida.
Hell, just bring all of Greenland so we don’t have to go thru this during the next Cat 5 as well. Wait, have you ever heard of a Cat 5?

I just like the thought exercise of if they had the rough power to steer these systems, what would be the ramifications.

If they tell Trump they can fire up HAARP and create a high pressure in front of the storm to steer it off his resort, but they can't be sure where it will go (or if it will say, stall over the Bahamas for a day) if they try.
Would we be ok with the government trying to mitigate/steer these things? Could the Bahamas sue?
Hell of a thing to weaponize for China or the US when you think about it.

[ed note: I know the power involved in HAARP is insignificant compared to the sun, it's just a plot device]
 
I thought I read where the Bahamas are where most of the British Loyalists went after the revolutionary war. They have more traitors than Mississippi...
Lotta Brit, for sure. You don’t like Brit? The women are very direct, in my experience.
