Dorian Effects Felt In Florida: Disney Closing Early, Evacuations Underway & Flights Cancelled Hurricane Dorian will finally begin its long-awaited march up the Southeast coast today after delivering one last punishing blow over the storm-fatigued northwest Bahamas. Now that Hurricane Dorian is moving again, Florida is wrapping up preparations today for the wind and storm surges that are expected even if the storm stays offshore. Dorian's wind intensity has backed off from Sunday's peak, currently a Category 3 hurricane with 120 mph winds, thank goodness they've gone down significantly after the poor Bahama's were hit with 185 mph winds! Regardless of its intensity and track, Dorian will have significant, damaging impact from Florida's Atlantic coast to parts of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and possible southeast Virginia this week.

Category 5 Hurricane Dorian Update- Additional Storm Surges, Hurricane Warnings & Watches Issued for Florida Coast

Category 5 Hurricane Dorian Update- Additional Storm Surges, Hurricane Warnings & Watches Issued for Florida Coast Earlier today, Hurricane Dorian made landfall in the Bahamas as a Category 5 major hurricane, with sustained wind of 185 mph and gusts over 220 mph, making it a "catastrophic" storm with "devastating winds," according to the National Hurricane Center. This "catastrophic" storm may come dangerously close to Florida, and additional Hurricane warnings and storm surge warnings are posted for lengthy stretches of the central Florida coast. At 8 p.m. Eastern time, the storm was moving slowly — just 5 miles an hour — across Great Abaco Island toward Grand Bahama Island. Forecasters said it would continue to lash those islands into Monday. Storm surges of as much as 18 to 23 feet were possible, enough to swamp many low-lying areas of the islands, and as much as 25 inches of rain could fall before the storm passes. As the current forecast stands, Central Florida will feel impacts on Tuesday and Wednesday. Additional Hurricane Warnings have been issued for Jupiter, Inlet Florida to the Brevard/Volusia County, Florida Line and Hurricane Watches issued for Volusia County. Late last night, Orlando International Airport stated it would lift its original plans to close on Monday, September 2nd and will be continuing commercial flights until further notice. Tolls have also been suspended to…
