The evening recon pass so far has found not only a stronger #Dorian, with estimated wind at Category 2 intensity, but a better organized & larger wind field. Hurricane-force wind is now evident in all 4 quadrants, and 50+kt winds extend to near 50km to theβ¦

26 years years apart. Two tiny bastards with immense power under the hood. Regardless of intensity, #HurricaneDorian will pose an immeasurable risk to life and limb for those living in Florida. I can only hope everyone in the state is fully prepared for whatsβ¦
