You are listening to this is Cruise Radio Rewind. Real reviews from real cruisers.

Welcome to this week's episode of Cruise Radio Rewind. It's going to be all things Hurricane

Dorian today. So we're going to check in with Action News meteorologist Greg D to tell us why

the hurricane just stopped on top of Grand Bahama Island the way it did.

Richard is going to give us an update on the cruise line private destinations.

Sherry will tell us what each cruise line is doing in order to help out the residents of the Bahamas.

Also some sound bites from the U.S. Coast Guard and a guest who was on Symphony of the Seas

when their crews got extended and kind of a

behind the scenes look to see how it all played out when an event like this happens while you're at sea.

So we're going to jump to action news meteorologist Greg D. First, Greg, first off, welcome to the show.

What made Hurricane Dorian just stop on top of Grand Bahama Island the way it did for like 30 hours? Yeah, Dorian was a really tough storm. Many folks did not believe the storm would stop before it got to Florida. So here's how it works. Hurricanes don't actually move on their own. They're part of a larger flow. Think of a leaf floating on a stream. It kind of follows wherever the water takes it. Well, in Dorian's case,

that stream of moving air basically was coming to an end. And it basically just ejected the

hurricane out of that flow and stopped it right ahead of Florida. And Dorian kind of hung out until

the next piece of energy moved in. That was a cold front to move it up to the north. So that's

what caused it to slow down. And that's what caused the big turn up to the north. So that's what caused it to slow down and

that's what caused the big turn up to the north. A lot of us have seen the charts of the storm

surge during Dorian where there was almost no land left at some points. What makes the storm

surge happen in a storm like this? Storm surge in a hurricane is a very interesting thing and it's really

something no one should ever see,

and that's because it is extremely dangerous. It's caused by two things. Number one, in a small way,

it is caused by the drop in pressure at the center of the storm, actually causes the sea level to rise

around the eye. But the main reason why you see that water rise is the wind. Wind moves water. You can
