That would make a neat mirror wall picture!

 

Can’t even imagine as I freak out at a 60 mph gust! Add pounding rain, storm surge, a noise that is freighting all by itself and hidden tornadoes....NO TANkS

The more beautiful they look, the more destructive they are. I've always said I want to experience another Columbus Day Storm but deep down, I think I'll pass on it.

The effects of a storm like that happening in 2019 would be worse than if it had happened in 1962 across the PNW. Windstorms can be a cool phenomenon but a serious windstorm is not a good thing, 12/14/06 was the last serious one.

The good news is that Grand Bahama is largely unpopulated except for Freeport on southwest side of the island... and it appears that Freeport will be largely spared as Dorian is now starting to move north.   Freeport is currently reporting a 60 mph wind.

 

Some places on the island to the east of Freeport were actually in the eye of hurricane for about 12 hours.   That would have been crazy to experience.

Is Freeport in the southern edge of the eye? The forecast I saw was for winds 100-130mph later today.

Its not in the eye... its about 30-40 miles southwest of the eye wall and the storm is inching northward now and not towards Freeport.  

 

Its still going to be a mess there... but they are likely to escape catastrophic damage like Marsh Harbour experienced.

Damage is pretty bad in Freeport right now unfortunately. Many parts of the city have been inundated by water.

Ahhhh... storm surge. I was focusing on wind.

 

I suppose the constant strong wind from the NW is piling up the water into the north side of town.

First time I've ever seen a loop like that.  This has to be the most perfect hurricane ever!  Absolutely no imperfection or wobble in the rotation.

These guys walked right past me when I was mowing lawn this morning... with the lawn mower running. No fear.

 

They went right for the fruit trees.

The deer in my neighborhood are ridiculous. No fear of people and walk around all the time in broad daylight like it’s no big deal.

The ones I have here every day are easily spooked. Open your front door and they're already over to the neighbors.

For those who say that summer is always gloomy in the foothills... I actually think it has been just as sunny out here in my area overall as the rest of I-5 corridor since the middle of July. And was just as sunny out here overall in May and during the first half of June.

 

The last 6 weeks have seemed quite normal for summer... some rain and clouds at times but lots of sun too. No complaints at all.

 

The June 18 - July 18 period really stands out in hindsight. It was an unusually long crapfest. :)

Oh, you made sure we all knew how unhappy you were for just a blip in your time on earth.

Did not actually complain that much... was much more debate. I did not even care if people enjoyed it. Regardless of opinion... the duration was highly unusual.

 

That being said... just 4 or 5 more days in there with the normal afternoon clearing and that entire month-long period would not have seemed that unusual. The persistence was the annoying part.
