Just lucky you don't live in the Northeast Bahamas. Staying on those Islands would have been deadly (CAT5, 185 mph winds. But for days the models have been in close agreement that Hurricane Dorian wouldn't make it to S. Florida.
It's also a much weaker storm now (not even close to what it was.
Florida got lucky on this storm. Had the storm moved faster, it would have reached Florida. But the storm slowed down and that allowed the high pressure over the GOM to block its western movement.
The same thing happened with Hurricane Irma a couple years ago (it was blocked and forced to stop and make a turn north. But that brought Irma right into S. W. Florida. So sometimes a blocking high pressure can save Florida, but sometimes a blocking high will cause a storm to go right over Florida. So many examples of storms that followed the same pattern. It's so critical where that turn sets up for Florida. As bad as hurricanes are, they almost always weaken significantly before they get to South Carolina or North Carolina. It's South Florida or the northern Gulf of Mexico that get the CAT4/5 in the U. S.

So here's my question about the Bahamas and all the laws we have to protect certain lands from being harmed (assuming the Bahamas have the same conservation laws) - do you REBUILD the Bahamas back up from what the hurricane took? Or do you leave it as such. If you rebuild it, then you're messing with nature by artificially putting things back to how they were.
It's like when hurricane Irma came and literally cleared away the federally protected dunes on our beaches - If I went into the dunes and started digging, it's like a 1, 000 fine and possible jail time in a federal prison. BUT after the hurricane blasted the dunes away, the gov't rebuilt new ones. So how can the government and green organizations claim that those laws are protecting and preserving NATURAL LANDS when we artificially build them back up after nature has taken its course?

Looks like you did escape the worst of the storm, now it appears my two oldest haunts, Myrtle Beach (lived here as a child, and Cape Hatteras are going to get whacked. My current stomping grounds (of the past 30+ years) in the Eastern Panhandle is STILL recovering from Micheal (spent 24 days there in late April/early May. Due to circumstances my wife had to delay her vacation till later this month. Uncertainty of the weather has steered us away from the coast, going to spend a week on Kentucky Lake in western Ky. Tennessee River Dam/ Cumberland River Dam (Lake Barkley) just before it empties into the Ohio. No worry of Hurricanes here, just Mosquitoes.

Search around for pics of Holestead after Andrew. That storm was about the same as this one. It looks like a lumber yard. Flat land as far as you can see in what used to be a neighborhood. If you had been hit with cat 5 winds you would have ended up in the tub with a mattress over your head praying to god you lived through it. I live in West Palm Beach near the coast in a cbs home and fully expected the roof to be taken off completely. We dodged a very big bullet. I've lived in Florida for 40 years and anything cat 4 and 5 is nothing to take lightly.

So I guess when the first responders Don't understand how capable you are and they waste their time trying to rescue you it'll be okay if they send you a bill right?
.
How about out if they say get out - You get out so nobody spends precious rescue time on You and they can waste their time on People that need them.
.
Just a fun thought.

So Glad we got thru this one, Glad you guys made the point unless we get evacuated there is no need to leave IF you have everything in place and are prepared, we are 21/2 miles from the beach with the ICW in between us so flooding is not an issue. anyways see you on the water, Love y'all

You should pick up the app called Dark sky for 4. 99 a year. No matter where u go in the world first fishing u can open the app and gos will show u what the weather is for the entire day. It also alerts u to rain start and stop times and sunscreen up ray index. I use this app everyday

Extreme weather is dangerous. That said, the media will beat a dead horse if there is a chance for ratings and a train-wreck of an outcome. I can't stand how politically entangled our media outlets have become. Thanks for the tutorial on the snell knot.

I love your videos, your explanation of all your gear is far superior to the others on YT. I just wasn't sure you knew about that calendar. I did see the video on the beach and know how respectful you and Pudding are, just saying Marathon is better. Ly

It looks like y'all will be OK. I am a veteran of Carla ('61, Alicia ('83, Chantal ('89, Jerry ('89, Ike ('08, and Harvey ('17. Also tropical storm Allison in 2001, which caused widespread flooding. I am very sorry for the poor people in the Bahamas.
