It’s five days out and a lot can change but current models indicate Dorian coming ashore in Florida.
We have family and friends in Florida and the PG Music forum community has Floridian members. We wish everybody the best and hope Mother Nature shoves it north into the Atlantic!

At least Puerto Rico was not hit. It was only two years ago that Hurricane Maria took 3000 lives there.

I happen to currently be working in one of the possible bullseye sites, Fort Lauderdale, Fl. Hoping to get a plane out tomorrow but airports are already starting their cancellation policies.
Even if I get our of town on Friday, I have to be back on Tuesday, so unless I take advantage of the no-fee flight cancellations and stay in Town to ride our the storm I expect a lot of air port time in the next days.
So being a Northerner and never having to ride out a hurricane.... how bad can it be? I can ask the hotel for a higher floor...
Other than that, I don't see a problem with inserting a bit of musical humor in what may or may not be some dire time ahead.

Thanks Dan! Both my wife and I have relatives in Florida as well. We are very concerned about EVERYONE's safety that lives there. I was just trying to add to the fun of what the others have been saying.
Good luck in riding out the storm if you have to.

Why is the approaching hurricane not a major storm? Because it's Dorian Man, I didn't get this right away. Once I did; it was funny. It just took me a 2nd. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone. Stay safe.

Looks like I'm at ground zero. Unless it changes its "mind". I've ridden out almost every storm since Donna in 1960 and plan to ride out another. I got gas for the generator today, killed the wasps under the storm awnings so I can drop them without getting stung, and got dry food. Tomorrow pick up loose things in the yard, make sure the drains are clear plus clean out the glass drinking water storage jugs and fill a big trash can with water to flush the toilet. We have a well, so we can't use it unless the generator is running, and we will only run the generator enough to keep the food in the fridge cold. Charging rechargeable batteries, got the crank generator emergency radio up, and the cars have a full tank of gas. We'll probably lose power. Since I'm in a sparsely populated area we'll probably get restored last. FPL will go for the greatest numbers first (and they should) so we'll have to wait. Hurricanes are a major PITA  but there's nothing we can do except prepare. Notes

I have about 6 friends in Florida I talk to daily that I'm pretty concerned about for when this hits. I hope everyone who is in the area stays safe!

It definitely is scary, but a lot of my friends from Florida seem mostly unfussed even though they're right near Orlando. Right now it looks like it's moving further and further south. I'm sure Floridians know how to prepare for such events and I'm sure they'll do all they can to keep safe.
Cheers,
Ember

Looks like Dorian is going to turn and miss us. That means I've done all this prep work for nothing. Hooray!!!!!!!!! The big problems here in Florida are (in no particular order) - In the late 1960s and 1970s, bending to the demands and bribes from developers, the building codes all over the state were watered down allowing such things as 2x4 frame houses, shingle roofs, and so on. The houses were not built to stand up to a category 4 hurricane. The big bad wolf will blow a lot of them down. Then they enticed a lot of northerners who didn't know better to buy them.
- They also built on reclaimed swamp land, which means as soon as we get a lot of rain, the houses are flooded - and the water damage in a hurricane is worse than wind damage.
If you are high and dry (not on reclaimed Everglades), have a well built house, with proper storm awnings or shutters, and you don't do something stupid, the probability of severe injury or death are almost zero, much less than on the road trying to evacuate. You need to prepare in advance, before the crowds hit the stores. We get plenty of advance warning most of the time. Remember, the storm lasts a few hours, the electricity can be out for as much as 2 weeks - Store lots tap water in the glass bottles you have put aside for this years ago and will keep after the storm is over.
- Buy food that doesn't need refrigeration
- If you have a charcoal or gas grill make sure you have fuel, if not make sure the food you buy in the step above doesn't need cooking.
- Fill trash bins with water for flushing the toilet and washing (some people fill bath tubs).
- Charge batteries or make sure you have disposables for the lanterns and emergency radio that you should have bought when you moved into your house - if you don't have them, get them ASAP even if you have to wait until after the storm.
- Check your generator and get a lot of gas - if you don't need it you can put it in your car when the storm is over
- If your house doesn't have storm panels and/or shutters, get that plywood early - and when the storm is over, invest in storm panels and shutters. It's cheap insurance for your safety.
- Clear your yard of anything that a giant wind can make airborne. A stick can go through a tree or a window
- If you need medicine, make sure you have at least 2 weeks supply
I've always lived on the "Eastern Sand Ridge" from 20' to 30' above sea level. I've been through almost every hurricane since Donna in 1960 (I was on the road in a rock band for one). The two worst things I experienced was (1) water blowing under a door - mops and towels fixed it (2) I jumped out of my chair when a huge limb of a mango tree broke off and hit the storm awning behind the chair I was sitting on. That doesn't guarantee I'll make it through the next one, but the odds are better then being on the highway evacuating. So there is some advice for folks in the path for 'next time'. And for those where it may still hit, please be safe and follow the guidelines, go to a shelter if needed, or get out of town before the storm is 2 days away. Bob

Stay safe. Don't take chances. I was a Building Inspector for Indian River County in 2004. I've seen what can happen. Those storms were cat3. This one predicted to be a cat4.

Stay safe. Don't take chances. I was a Building Inspector for Indian River County in 2004. I've seen what can happen. Those storms were cat3. This one predicted to be a cat4. When I was a kid in Pompano Beach, the majority of the homes up here would have not been built. The norm for construction at the timeswas CBS homes with white, slate or other heavy tile roof, tar and gravel roof, or Bermuda roof. So it's important to know the limitations of your house. If I were in a 2x4 frame house (and I would never buy one), I'd seek better shelter. Notes

Luckily it sounds like right now based on current conditions that Dorian might actually completely turn away. Fingers crossed!

I feel for the folks in the Bahamas.
We're still not completely safe here in Florida. I've seen one pass us, loop around clockwise then come back and hit us.
For all my friends in Florida, don't take the shutters down yet, don't dump the water you are saving, don't let your guard down, and keep your eye on the NOAA hurricane site and/or your favorite weather page.
We're under a tropical storm warning here (39mph to 73mph) so keep your guard up.

They put us under a Hurricane Warning on the coast of Florida. I hope we don't get the full force of it.
185mph in the Bahamas, that's devastating. I hope the damage and loss of life is minimal or better yet, zero.

Thanks, all prep is done except for the last 5 minutes or so, and that can be done when the winds reach gale force. (Blocking the screen door, closing the doors that have shutters over the glass, and so on).
If the winds get to hurricane force, they will turn the power off at the nuke plant for safety's sake.
If the phones and cable go out, I won't have Internet, so if you have a Norton Music problem, hang in there until I get back on-line.
This old house has seen a number of hurricanes, and the likelihood of it still standing after this one are good, but one never knows for sure.
Getting ready to hunker down.

A Category 5 hurricane moving at ONE MILE PER HOUR is mind-boggling crazy.
We need that thing to "get moving" so that the systems that are helping move it East remain in place long enough to do that. Otherwise, we could see it move back to the West (the way Irma did)....

Was at the Fort Lauderdale beaches yesterday. Nice place to be, crowds were gone and restaurants had great sales on food and drink - reduced due to "hurricane prices". Only problem was the $20 to park for 0-4 hrs. Hard for a Chicago business man to wonder around in the heat and sun for even a small bit of that time.
Otherwise, this has been the slowest storm I have ever seen. Moving at 1 mile per hour and hundreds of miles away. The wait has been painful. But I am respectful of mother nature and keep my complaints to myself. Hotel tells me two years ago Irma hit them and they lost power for three days - yieps!
Currently a little bit of rain and a nice breeze coming in.

I feel for the Bahamians. It's been there close to 24 hours. I understand Great Abaco has over 65% of the homes destroyed. The Grand Bahama airport is 5 feet underwater.
The Bahama Islands are not very tall, so a surge can go right across some of them and parts of others. The water is worse than the wind, and the wind is bad.
We're in feeder bands, probably gale force and under a hurricane warning.
This storm needs to move north, then northeast in a hurry.

Hope I am not premature in my estimates, but Fort Lauderdale got nothing other than a bit of rain this afternoon and a pleasant breeze.

My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone in the path of this hurricane. Stay safe my friends.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

We've had tropical force winds here in Ft. Pierce and frequent periods of driving rain.
We're about even with the storm latitude wise and its strong winds have been blowing from the north for days now.
When I get tired lf being in a house with all the windows shuttered, I think about those poor folks in the Bahamas and know how lucky I really am.

I'm in the clear. I opened the storm awnings this morning to let light into the house, and started cleaning up the yard. Palm fronds, minor tree limbs and so on. More rain put a temporary halt to that PITA. But it's rain not a wall of water.
We have a couple of leaning trees, but not enough lean to worry me, we never lost power, although it blinked a few times, and our neighbors are OK too.
The local boaters will probably bring food and supplies over to the Bahamas this weekend when the seas settle down. I'll contribute to one of the boat loads, and I'll donate blood because that's always needed.
Good luck to the folks still in it's path.

Great news that you made it through OK. Once I saw it started heading North I had a feeling you would be good.

Glad to hear you are safe and sound, Bob!

Glad to hear you are safe and sound, Bob! Yah, when I was talking to one of my friends who lives in Tampa which is on the opposite coast she kind of laughed (in a good-hearted kinda way) about my being worried about my friends in Orlando. A lot of the news places were showing Orlando as a spot that the storm would hit, but she said that Orlando is so far inland that there's no way the hurricane would reach Orlando. She pretty much said at worst it'd be really strong winds and some rain and that anyone saying that it could reach Orlando was pretty much just fear mongering. That said, I keep forgetting how small Florida really is in comparison to our provinces. I keep having to remind myself that our provinces tend to be much, much larger than the individual states are.

As I write this, the first misty rain is starting to fall and the storm still sets off the coast near Charleston. According to predictions, we are supposed to be in the tropical storm wind area... 30 to 40 mph with anywhere from a half inch to 4" of rain.
We have everything as secured as we can be, generator tested yesterday and the gas cans and tanks all topped off.
Now we wait.

We're having the strongest winds and hardest rain we've had yet. We're about 35 miles inland from N. Myrtle Beach where they've had tornados and flooding. We've had less than an inch of rain so far but the rain is picking up now too. We live out in farm country but one of our closest neighbors 100 year old two story colonial wooden home burned to the ground over the last few hours. We could see and smell the smoke and had hot embers landing in our yard. So Sad.

They started taking donations for the Bahama Islands boat-lift today.
I had an 8' x 10' cabin tent we haven't used it a couple of years. I figured someone without a home needs it more than I do so I donated it. I added an ice chest cooler, I have two (or had two).
I also bought and donated a giant 30 roll pack of toilet paper, a case of canned Vienna sausage, a 20 pack of D cell batteries, and a large pack of plastic garbage bags.
They should be on their way to the Bahamas tomorrow morning.
The newspaper listed a large number of drop off points, When I got to the closest pickup center to my house there were about a half dozen cars with other folks also donating food and goods. It's nice to see so many Floridians extending a helping hand. We all may be only giving a little each, but together we can make a difference.

I saw on the news the Freeport Bahamas airport runways are cleared with a US Navy ship controlling air traffic to and from the runways. Freeport also has the only hospital still able to operate at this time. US Coast Guard helicopters have been going to some of the more remote Bahama islands delivering the first wave of relief supplies while returning with injured.
The government of the Bahamas has done an excellent job trying to keep the world informed with frequent press conferences and updates. I'm very impressed with how well it has handled the disaster so far.

Instead of a flotilla, the donations were so generous that my tent and other gifts are going on a barge pulled by a tugboat. They should get there in less than 24 hours.
The outpouring of the people here in South Florida is heartwarming. Each of us with our small contributions have contributed more than the original organized flotilla could handle. We have donated an entire ocean-going barge full.
If you don't have anything to give or a close drop-off point, consider a donation to a bona fide charity like the Re Cross if you want to help.

For those who might be curious about Dorian's effect on the NC coast, here's a link to a page full of beach cams, mostly on the outer banks. Dorian traced the NC coast, so all of these webcams that are still working will show current views of the beach (and in many cases, piers.) https://www.obxrealtygroup.com/OBX_Web_Cams/page_1828443.html

SO.... update on Friday.
2" of rain, a little breezy, no limbs or trees down. Power never blinked. Sun is out and the sky is blue.
The coast is still going through the shredder.

Let's hope this doesn't impact treasure hunting operations at Oak Island.

Don't think we'll be fishing for a few days.
please report in. The graphics of the storm's path showed the outer banks being in the storm's path. Storm's been gone for almost 2 days. The eye passed right over us here on Hatteras Island. That was an experience Leading up to the eyewall arrival the wind was all south and not particularly hard.30 knots maybe. Gusty but nothing over 40-50. Breezed harder 50-60 as the eye arrived. Then it was an eerie calm for 30 minutes. All of us who stayed ventured outside to see how the sound had retreated hundreds of yards. All the canals in my village were bone dry. Then the north wind came with a vengeance. It blew HARD north/northwest for 3-4 hours The backside (north/northwest) was by far the worst and caused most of the wind and water damage. Water was mostly soundside flooding. Some folks (especially Hatteras Village and Ocracoke) got hit pretty hard. Hearts go out to them. We were mostly spared. Lost a tree but it hit nothing coming down. 50 or so shingle tabs broken. Lost power for about 36 hours. No big drama. Bar-b-que with neighbors. Apparently the road (NC12) didn't get beat up too bad. We're out helping neighbors. Getting ready to bring the boats back from their hiding spaces. Get back to chasing wahoo and playing a little guitar. I reckon they will allow tourists back tomorrow. Life on the sandbar slowly going forward.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
