NOAA monitoring buoy SPGF1 is closest to Dorian and its track

https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=spgf1

No live photos, but it does have meteorological data updated hourly. Eyeballing it on the map, it looks like it's maybe a hundred miles from Dorian's eye, and the storm track will be about 20 miles from the buoy.

The entire NOAA buoy system is available here, for those interested.

Some of those buoys also take photos on a regular basis; it depends on the particular buoy. This one doesn't; the photos are static.

Stay safe, SouthEast Coasters!
