Hurricane Dorian UPDATE: Storm is approaching precariously close to my family’s home!

  • 5 years ago
It is a havoc of a Labor Day when it comes to weather. As Hurricane Dorian, a category 5 hurricane, approaches the mainland US East coast residents are getting ready to evacuate. This hurricane ravaged all of the Bahamas and the Abaco Islands, creating was said to be “unprecedented destruction,” with winds breaking the 200 mph benchmark that is more commonly associated with tornadoes. The most dangerous aspect of this is storm is how slowly it is moving. It’s tracking at a snail’s pace of 1-2 mph (last updated Mon. 12:00pm). Though pressure is decreasing, the circumference of the hurricane is getting bigger.

My parents live in Stuart, Fl, which unfortunately lies in the cone of uncertainty when it comes to a potential hit. Even that wasn’t concerning enough, we haven’t even reached the peak of hurricane season yet, as other hurricanes have begun to form around the world. Let’s pray Florida and North Carolina come out with minimal damage.
