Hurricane Dorian battered St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and brushing Puerto Rico. Taking aim at the Florida Atlantic Coastline, Hurricane Dorian is projected to be a major hurricane (Category 3) at landfall.

Tropical Tidbits model thread says you guys on the Keys better keep paying attention as the HMON still has you in the game.
Wow. Thank you for that.
Bookmarking...looks like my niece in Orlando is going to get the brunt of this one. She is a serious prepper, so I’m sure she’ll be O.K.

I don’t wish a hurricane on anybody but that has got to be the least populated area of the east coast of Florida. And by the time it gets significantly inland it will likely be much reduced in strength.
Good article here, about NASA moving their $650 million mobile launcher (not a “booster”, actually) to the VAB:
I note that while Launch Control is built to survive a CAT 5 hurricane, the VAB is only rated to CAT 3. Yikes!
Maybe someone can work out how much force a mid-CAT 4 can put on a facing outside wall of the VAB. It has to be an impressive number...
My bad
Yes it is a Mobile Launcher!
Looks like its turning north to me...into the Atlantic. I think the models will show it missing Florida later.
