Hurricane Dorian continues to hover over the Bahamas, but forecasters say the now-Category 3 storm will move 'dangerously close' to Florida's east coast in the coming hours.
Hurricane Dorian continued to hover over the Bahamas early Tuesday morning, but forecasters say the now-Category 3 storm will move"dangerously close" to Florida's east coast in the coming hours.
“We are in the midst of a historic tragedy in parts of our northern Bahamas," Minnis told reporters at a press conference Monday. "I think when the eye wall hit, we had 200-plus mile per hour winds that ripped everybody's roofs and destroyed everybody's structure and houses," he added."Probably one of the most terrifying things that ever happened. The windows were caving. The doors were caving in. I honestly thought that our roof was going to be ripped off as well."
The latest forecast models show Hurricane Dorian beginning to move north later Tuesday morning and afternoon. The storm will then come"dangerously close" to Florida's east coast Tuesday night through Wednesday evening, very near the Georgia and South Carolina shorelines Wednesday night into Thursday and then near or over North Carolina's coast Thursday night, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Pete Gaynor, acting administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, told ABC News that his greatest concern was flooding and storm surge, which he said are responsible for 90 percent of all deaths from natural disasters.
