Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan says Hurricane Dorian will 'go across the northern islands of the Bahamas and then we expect it to stall out,' but adds that while it may not make landfall, it 'doesn't mean it's not dangerous'
As Hurricane Dorian moved toward the northwestern Bahamas as a massive Category 5 hurricane, acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan talked about the storm's approach toward the U.S. mainland.
Forecasts showed the storm, with maximum sustained winds of 160 mph, targeting Georgia and the Carolinas and bringing a life-threatening storm surge. Officials declared states of emergency in parts of those states. President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he had canceled his trip to Poland and he sent Vice President Mike Pence in his place, so that he could remain in the country to monitor the storm.
