How Force Thirteen covered Hurricane Dorian | Documentary

[@ChedWildFurry]

I'm thankful to the F13 team for giving me the chance to contribute on this project and Nathan personally for trusting in me to be part of it since August 2015. As I'm the only person who makes spanish updates of storms I feel I have a huge responsability to fulfll and share the best information I could bring for the people who speak spanish and follow this project too. I'm pretty sure F13 has saved thousands and thousands of lives around the world, I feel privileged that I'm one of the responsibles of it. Thank you guys for all the support you brought to this project and for believing in us day by day. Sincerely, César Gámez.

[@sirswagger21]

Thank you so much César for getting that info out to the Spanish community, I'm sure you've saved somebody's life with ur continued updates.

I remember Dorian very well..... I live here in North Eastern Canada, and we sustained a lot of damage, and flooding when it paid us a visit. Still blows my mind that he visited the entire Eastern Seaboard of North America leaving a huge trail of destruction in it's wake. A very dangerous storm for all, but the Bahamas suffered so much worse as it stalled

[@Sketchicane]

I'll never forget the 24 hours before landfall. I was out watching the northern lights until 1am or so, and Dorian was still 150mph despite recon's measurements. Stayed up the rest of the night watching it, and right after sunrise, that's when it took off. 160mph.Then half an hour later, 175. Another hour or so, 180. Another hour, 185. Recon measurements recorded multiple (over a dozen, i believe) 190mph unflagged SFMR readings on all quadrants in the final 2 hours before Abaco was obliterated. we had the weather channel on all our TVs, and both Mom and I were just watching Dorian stall and grind over the Bahamas with jaws open.

[@wolfywise]

Dorian had the most impressive ERCs I have ever seen. They occurred with such speed and efficiency that I've never seen in any storm, to a degree where the intensity wasn't even affected by them.

I grew up in Hope Town (Elbow Cay, Abaco Bahamas) - the first landfall of Hurricane Dorian. My father, my brother, my nephews and too many friends lost their homes/businesses.... this was a monster storm but they survived. Your reporting and analysis is fascinating. Thank you for this recap of the storm.

[@Tmccreight25Gaming]

There are a few weather events I will never forget your coverage of, the Easter Sunday Bassfield-Soso-Seminary-Collins Tornado emergencies are one of them. However Dorian is the top of that list.

[@Tmccreight25Gaming]

You guys did an incredible job tracking Dorian, it was certainly some of your best coverage for a Storm that will take a long time to match. It was definitely the storm of the century and will go down in history as the biggest bullet Florida ever dodged. However the Bahamas took the full impact and I don’t think those Islands and the people who live there will ever be the same again.

[@captaingray5455]

My family was there. I visited in February of 2020 and the damage was unbelievable, pretty much every tree was uprooted, fully destroyed, or snapped in half! There were also boats on land! It was unbelievable. There was much more damage that I just can’t explain.

[@danjihani8607]

This makes me so sad. I was there a few weeks before, such a beautiful place. Forecasting has become almost a free-for-fall. But these guys knew. Didn’t want to think they were more correct than the NHC. Unbelievable. I felt lucky as i am near Ft Lauderdale, but the people of the Abacos I still weep for to this day. Great place, great people. Still recovering. Amazing job, but very very hard to watch.

its debatable since it was very close with only a 5mph differnce but it likely was CAT4 at landfall due to it being in a eyewall replacement cycle at the same time it was landfalling
