Hurricane Dorian has slowed from 185 miles per hour to 175 mph as it batters the Bahamas — but the storm is far from over. Live updates:
It's now 2:30 a.m. in the Bahamas and Hurricane Dorian has slowed to a crawl over the island chain, battering buildings with heavy rain and winds at 180 miles per hour.
Residents are bunkering down at home in the dark and in shelters where they sought refuge as the storm hit. Sunrise isn't for another four hours, at 6:53 a.m., when local authorities will be able to survey the full extent of the damage. Kevin Tomlinson, a resident in Freeport, Grand Bahama, told CNN just after midnight that power had been cut to the shelter where he is staying with about 40 other residents who live by the coast. There were even some tourists who got caught in the hurricane -- he said one couple was visiting from Chicago.
