The Home Depot buckets are high density polyethylene(HDPE), which won't eat holes in the plastic or leach into the gasoline and ruin someone's engine. It's the same stuff they make gas canisters out of so you'd only really have to worry about fumes and sealing it properly.




This version of a Rubbermaid container doesn't come in an HDPE version as far as I know. The plastic is fairly thin too, so that guy's hosed.

The cloud pattern of Dorian has become quite impressive in infrared
satellite imagery this evening. The eye has become very distinct
and is surrounded by a very symmetric ring of deep convection. The
upper-level outflow has also improved. A NOAA Hurricane Hunter
aircraft this evening has measured peak SFMR winds of 119 kt, and a
dropsonde dropped in the northeastern eyewall had mean winds in the
lowest 150 m that also supported winds of 118 kt, so the initial
wind speed has been raised to 120 kt. The latest center drop
indicates a minimum pressure of around 948 mb, down 22 mb since this
afternoon. Since Dorian will be traversing SSTs of around 29C and
remain in a low shear environment, the current intensification phase
may not be over. The NHC forecast is above the guidance and calls
for some additional strengthening in the short-term.

Its absolutely going to hit FL. All of the steering winds are pushing it west.

Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale is based mostly on windspeed ant Cat 5 is open ended. But that doesn't mean storms can't be more destructive due to increased size, flooding, volume of water dumped, etc.

its being held down by a high pressure system if that system weakens now it will race at the carolinas.
if it weakens this weekend it will trash the east coast of central/northern florida
if it stays strong until labor day it will send dorian through miami into the gulf and up the gulf coast
