i ll try to put a positive spin on it. right now, three or four days from a landfall. the hurricane forecast i just read, just got done briefing on, is about the worst case possible scenario. why is that good news? i m glad it s not tomorrow. then it would be as dire as possible. let me explain. now we re up to 105-mile-per-hour winds. dorian is up to a category 2. we know there is not much to stop it from getting more intense. it could be a category 3 tomorrow. it could be a category 4 friday into saturday. here s the new forecast. we know it will be a big bad intense storm. wherever it hits, it will be catastrophic. with the irmas and marias and michaels. this takes it to a 2 or a 3.
