Locals keeping a close eye on Hurricane Dorian's path
Some Butler County residents have a vested interest in what's happens with Hurricane Dorian in and around Florida, as well as the Georgia and South Carolina coasts.
Dorian hovered over the Bahamas on Monday, pummeling the islands with sustained winds in excess of 150 mph and is headed toward the United States.
Some with vacation homes in the area but still in Butler County are keeping their eyes glued to the Weather Channel
Others are in the Sunshine State volunteering to help their neighbors to the south.
“It's riveting,” attorney Dick Goldinger of East Butler said Monday.
Goldinger, the former longtime public defender for Butler County, owns a condominium near West Palm Beach on Florida's Atlantic coast. He has had it for four or five years.
He's been a nonstop weather watcher, pretty much, for the last several days since Dorian became a household name.
He's also been in frequent contact with his neighbor, Chuck Greenawalt, a former Butler Countian turned Floridian.
