Hurricane chaser and filmmaker Josh Morgerman hasn’t been heard from on Twitter for two days as he rode out Hurricane Dorian in Marsh Harbour, located on Grand Abaco Island in the Bahamas.

Morgerman’s last tweet was on Sunday, Sept. 1, prompting fears from fans, meteorologists, storm chasers on Twitter.

He wrote in his last tweet: “11:40 am. Pounding. CRASHING. Boards prying off windows. We’re moving children to a safe space, wrapping them in blankets. 969 mg. #DORIAN.”

Minutes before, he wrote: “11:15 am. 978 mb & falling fast. Just outside eyewall, but winds will damaging. Holed up with six others in concrete room with chairs against the door. #DORIAN.”

But after two days of being incommunicado, some began to fear for the worst.

AccuWeather’s Reed Timmer asked on Monday night: “Has anyone heard from @iCyclone yet? He road out Hurricane Dorian at a school in Marsh Harbour.”

I agree. The cost of a SAT phone is cheaper than a cell phone was in the 1990s. The only problem I have is that it is not simple to make a call. There is a learning curve.

If I was going off grid for a while or had a hobby that took me off grid, a SAT phone would be a high priority.

“But society needs it’s risk takers.”

Yes, we do. And they are born that way. I have a two year old grandson, he’s ready to go hurricane hunting right now. He is a mad man, but he is going to do SOMETHING in this world and DO NOT TRY TO STOP HIM.
