LATEST: Hurricane Dorian has made another landfall on the eastern end of Grand Bahama Island. -Winds up to 180 mph -Moving W at 6 mph -Center currently about 55 miles E of Freeport on Grand Bahama Island
Hurricane Dorian is a massive Category 5 hurricane Sunday evening with sustained winds of 185 mph as it continues to batter the Bahamas in the Atlantic Ocean.
Francis Charles, who rode out the storm in Hope Town, Elbow Cay, called the island"a wreck" late Sunday. The National Hurricane Center is calling the storm a life-threatening situation with extreme destruction and the potential for wind gusts over 200 mph. Hurricane Dorian’s path continues with the trend seen over the last day, keeping landfall away from Florida as the steering ridge of high pressure will weaken and allow for Dorian to take that turn to the north. The timing of that turn will be what determines the severity of impacts on Florida’s east coast.
Port Canaveral closed for commercial traffic on Saturday, and Port Miami closed to all vessel traffic on Sunday. There is still high uncertainty in the track three to five days out and Dorian still has the potential to make landfall in the southeast states. What is certain from Hurricane Dorian is that there will be a prolonged period of life-threatening storm surge, devastating hurricane-force winds and heavy rains capable of producing life-threatening flash floods on the Abaco Islands and Grand Bahama through Monday while the hurricane warning remains in effect for these areas."North Carolina has endured flooding from two strong hurricanes in less than three years,” Cooper said in a press release announcing the declaration.
Volusia County: Residents on the beach side, in low-lying areas and mobile homes throughout the county. Beginning on Monday at 10 a.m.
