Weakened but still deadly, Hurricane Dorian creeps up the southeastern US coast where millions are ordered to evacuate
An aerial view shows flooded area after hurricane Dorian hit the Grand Bahama Island in the Bahamas,September 4, 2019.
The storm, which ravaged the Bahamas with more than a full day of devastating wind and rain, had weakened substantially, from a Category 5 storm to a Category 2, but still had dangerously high winds and threatened to swamp low-lying regions from Georgia to southeastern Virginia as it moved northward.
"Once the rain comes and the wind hits, it's going to blow left, right, in and out, and there's not really a place that you can find" to avoid it, said Russell, 63. Weaker but bigger since it slammed the Bahamas with 295 km/h winds earlier this week, Dorian was moving along Florida's northeastern coast at 13 km/h late Wednesday afternoon. Forecasters said it had maximum sustained winds of 177 km/h and was centered about 241 kilometres south of Charleston.
