On Sunday, Dorian’s maximum sustained winds reached 185 mph (297 kph), with gusts up to 220 mph (354 kph), tying the record for the most powerful Atlantic hurricane to ever make landfall.
That equaled the Labor Day hurricane of 1935, before storms were named.
The only recorded storm that was more powerful was Hurricane Allen in 1980, with 190 mph (305 kph) winds, though it did not make landfall at that strength.

The hurricane is starting to turn North. Just as predicted by the models.
The NOAA models have been shown to be highly accurate, as predicted. The fact that many are surprised at this shows a shameful level of ignorance amongst many posters in this thread.
Meteorologists are highly educated professionals who dedicate their lives to understanding complex weather systems, they are more intelligent than a bunch of doomsayers on the internet.
Once again Science wins.
For those who disagree with my assessment above, please do not feel entitled to question and challenge my conclusions about the impacts of climate change. However, while I accept the legitimacy of your arguments, your efforts are counterproductive in the long run, as they will only lead to more climate change denial – further fueling false climate change believers.
