![]() This coin/shard list will be in a similar format.I feel it is important to know where the stuff is rather than just have an alphabetized list of items.Hurricane Dorian was the strongest and most destructive storm of the 2019 hurricane season. The northern Bahamas, the Abaco Islands, and Grand Bahama Island were devastated by Dorian's category five winds estimated to have reached over 180 mph with a storm surge greater than 18 feet. The storm stalled across Grand Bahama Island on Sunday, September 2 through Monday, September 3. Dorian then slowly weakened to category two strength as persistent rain and wind cooled the ocean beneath the slow-moving storm.Īfter leaving the Bahamas, Dorian turned northwestward and moved parallel to the Florida east coast on September 4. Bands of showers and thunderstorms ahead of the storm's center produced over a dozen tornadoes across northeastern South Carolina and eastern North Carolina during the morning of Wednesday, September 5. Fortunately for South Carolina and southeastern North Carolina, Dorian continued to turn to the right and the center remained offshore as it approached Cape Fear that evening. Dorian's eye missed Cape Fear by about 30 miles, however the storm made landfall on Ocracoke and Hatteras Islands during the early morning hours of September 6, heavily damaging the southern Outer Banks with wind and a substantial storm surge produced by northwest winds crossing the shallow waters of the Pamlico Sound.
