Be Alert & Be Safe, Its Hurricane Season !!! Death toll rises in Abaco Islands as Dorian inches toward US with 110-mph winds

in #hurricane5 years ago

wi.jpgCoastal regions from Florida to Virginia on Tuesday afternoon remained on the lookout for Hurricane Dorian. With hurricane and storm surge watches and warnings lining the coast, officials are preparing residents for the worst. The first tropical storm force wind gust was recorded along the Treasure Coast of Florida on Tuesday afternoon at a station by the Sebastian Inlet.

After dealing a heavy hand of destruction to the Bahamas, Dorian weakened into a Category 2 storm Tuesday, with 110-mph sustained winds. Officials have confirmed at least 7 deaths following Dorian's beating in the Bahamas. But forecasters warn that even though the wind speeds are weakening, the storm still poses extreme danger to the southern coast of the United States.

The crawling, slow progress of the storm allowed the hurricane to spend more than 24 hours dumping rain and whipping intense winds across the island nation. Dorian is the slowest forward-moving major hurricane in a 24-hour period ever, and slowest since Wilma in 2005.

In the southeastern U.S., evacuations for more than two million people began on Monday afternoon. Governors from Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia all signed state of emergencies and called for mandatory evacuations.
