24 to about 36 hours, this is essentially going to move very, very slowly across the bahamas grand be those northern islands of the bahamas. they're going to be battered for so long with hurricane dorian at a strong category 4. now, the latest from the national hurricane center hasn't really changed the vital statistics of what's going on here. right now it's about 2,500 miles to the east of the bahamas. let me say that again, 125 miles to the east of the northern bahamas. see these gusts? that's changed. 185-mile-an-hour gusts. it's moving towards the west, but we think it's going to slow down. when it slows down, it's going to really impact catastrophically the area across the northern bahamas, the islands i just mentioned that so many visitors go to, sailors go here, because it is stunning, it's beautiful, but they will be impacted. power outages, wind damage, storm surge, rainfall to the tune of about 15 inches of rain. all right. for the model, we'll tell you about this, and then the computer models all disagree by the next model runs, they are all doing something different. all right. across t
