LATEST: Cat. 2 Hurricane Dorian on the move along the U.S. coastline with winds up to 105 mph, lashing the east coast of central Florida and eyeing the Carolinas.
The hurricane is expected to remain at about the same intensity for the next couple of days, and even if it does not make landfall, hurricane-force winds are expected to reach parts of the coast from central Florida to North Carolina, the hurricane center.
Officials said Dorian was set to move"dangerously close" to Florida's east coast and the Georgia coast through Wednesday night, and near or over the South and North Carolina coasts Thursday through Friday morning. “All interests from northeast Florida to the Carolinas should remain vigilant to the possibility of experiencing destructive winds, flooding rains, and life-threatening storm surges from this hurricane,” the center said.
