I can hardly believe my eyes that the Bahamas may be hit with a serious tropical storm when they haven't even begun to recover from the Dorian hurricane...

Really? It's happened more than once.

I've seen several interviews with survivors who have witnessed all the rest of their families being swept out to sea. Also one very brave little girl who managed to swim a long distance to safety. But it must be a fear filled experience to see the dark clouds gathering again.
UPDATE: Humberto will miss Florida, remain a tropical storm as it passes the NW Bahamas but likely to become a hurricane possibly reaching Bermuda by Wednesday.
Tropical Storm Humberto speeds up as it heads northwest, path still away from Florida
"The good news for the northern Bahama Islands is that Humberto should move away through the day. High agreement among all forecast guidance shows Humberto remaining well east of Florida this weekend as it begins to turn in a more east-northeasterly direction. Expect enhanced seas, swells and rip currents at our Atlantic beaches through the middle of next week."
Tropical storm-force winds extend out 90 miles, and its expected to pass close to the northwestern Bahamas today, which are still recovering from the devastating effects of Hurricane Dorian. The NHC said that the worst squalls and winds, though, were to the north and east, away from the islands.
After it passes the Bahamas, the storm is projected to become Hurricane Humberto by Sunday night with long-range forecasts parking within striking distance of Bermuda by late Wednesday night with 100 mph winds and 120 mph gusts.
The path this weekend keeps the storm more than 200 miles off Florida's coast with only breezy days and an inch of rain projected for the state.
A Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect for much of the Northwestern Bahamas, and expected to bring 2-4 inches with pockets of 6-inch rain to parts of the island nation, although not much storm surge threat is projected.

I'm happy to know folks in these places - - the unusual ferocity of these storms is concerning.
And then there's the earthquake in Ankara.

I lived in Dutch Harbor AK for 4+years within 12 miles of an active volcano that's erupted 10 times in the last 100 years on an island chain that sees multiple eruptions every year.
I remember one time my friend Masi was taking me to the clinic in the company van and he was weaving all over the road.
While I was thinking there was something wrong with him he was thinking there was something wrong with the van.
When we got to the clinic 2 minutes later we found out we were both wrong...it was an earthquake.
