Those of you in the U.S., especially the South Eastern U.S., are certainly aware of Hurricane Dorian, a very powerful Cat 5 hurricane bearing down on the Bahamas and the southern east coast. Happily, the forecast track moved to the East since the earlier advisories, which means it’s less likely to make landfall in Florida.
The latest advisories have Tampa (home of the Irreal International Headquarters) out of the probability cone so Irreal and its minions probably won’t be affected. Nonetheless, the current advisory has a 17 per cent probability of Irreal experiencing tropical storm force winds. That’s not likely to cause any Internet or power disruptions but it is, I suppose, possible. Thus, if Irreal misses a post or two during the next few days, don’t worry. I’ll post them as soon as I can.
In the mean time, if you want to follow along at home, here’s the link to the National Hurricane Center. Scroll down to the Hurricane Dorian section and click on the Warnings/Cone Static Images graphic to see the latest track and probability cone.
