#3 For those keeping track at home, #HurricaneDorian is now just 15 mph shy of the ALL TIME record for maximum sustained wind speed in an Atlantic basin hurricane.

Dorian could give this record a run for its money.

#5 Apparently the storm decided to head north after President Trump chased it away from Mar-a-Lago using his Trumpian super powers. Sorry, h8ters! Sympathy for anyone in the storm's path.

#10 According to Weather Underground, lowest US barmoetric reading at sea level was:

The lowest pressure ever measured anywhere in the United States (either as a result of a tropical or extra-tropical storm) was a reading of 892 mb (26.34”) at Matecumbe Key, Florida during the Great Labor Day Hurricane of September 2, 1935, the most intense hurricane ever to strike the United States.

#11 The larger problem in my mind is how slow it's moving. 5MPH westbound. It's not just going to hit, it's going to DRAG ON. I'm not sure there's going to be anything left of the Bahama's after this, 20ft surge supposedly. Certainly looks like it from the provided video's
