The National Hurricane Center said Dorian was a Category 4 storm destroying the Bahamas. It had been a Category 5 storm overnight.Forecasters say Dorian may spare the U.S. a direct hit, but will move close to Florida’s east coast late Monday. Mandatory evacuations were underway in some parts of Florida and ordered for later Monday for the coastlines of South Carolina and Georgia.
Acting DHS chief Kevin McAleenan said Sunday that even if the storm remains just off the U.S. mainland, it could still cause major problems with high winds, a devastating storm surge and heavy rain.
