Damn! Keep your eye on this storm - it will need a very sharp turn to avoid Florida. It moved 50 miles south overnight.

1. I Trust the world...

Is preparing to send aid, they will need it as this monster will sit over them for 24 hours. Generally airports are back in operation within hours of a hurricane hit.... then again the Bahamas is mostly at or just above sea level, very flat...hopefully the landing strips survive, so a fleet of choppers can deliver medical & other aid.
