***The Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line, a niche Palm Beach-based cruise line, is mounting a relief mission to hurricane-ravaged Grand Bahama and is offering to take charities and relief workers free of charge.

The company’s ship, Grand Celebration, is expecting to leave the Port of Palm Beach sometime later Thursday afternoon, after stocking up on relief supplies and boarding U.S.-based Bahamians who want to check on their families, CEO Oneil Khosa said.

“We want more and more people to benefit from this,” Khosa said. “This is going to be one of the only viable links to transporting goods and people to Freeport.”

O/T: This site has been a beast! to load and hang up and refresh all day long. I noticed someone else posted they were noticing problems also. I finally gave up for a while.

Back on-topic: I hope everyone affected is safe and can check in when possible and that the damage will be as minimal as possible.

North Carolina is in for a "long night ahead," Gov. Roy Cooper warned Thursday, urging residents to stay inside and "hunker down" until the storm passes.

"Hurricane Dorian is ready to unleash its fury on our state," Cooper said.

Dorian may make landfall in North Carolina between Wilmington and the Outer Banks as it skims the coastline overnight.

"This won’t be a brush-by," Cooper added. "Whether it comes ashore or not, the eye of the storm will be close enough to cause extensive damage."

I hope everyone here in Dorian’s path is holding up well.

I’m approximately here in Nova Scotia right on the Bay of Fundy/Atlantic:

They’re now asking us to brace for a hurricane, not a cyclone:

We recently had a cyclone, and it wasn’t too bad.

Odd thing is: no sign of birds today, and normally there are pheasants, hummingbirds etc. around all day.

Complete silence.

Everyone stay safe. HUGS!

I'm in Ft. Lauderdale, just about 100 miles from Bahamas. Many of us go back and forth b/t Florida and the Bahamas so we have nodding acquaintances with many islanders. Suffice to say that Dorian obliterated some of those islands.

In SFL, we just spent a long Labor Day weekend locked in our homes with our lawn furniture.
