MARSH HARBOUR, Bahamas: Hurricane Dorian lost some of its punch but grew in size on Tuesday , picking up speed and forecast to come"dangerously close" to Florida's coast after pounding Grand Bahama Island for about a day, killing at least five people.

REUTERS/John Marc NuttHouses in a neighbourhood in Freeport on Grand Bahama Island were engulfed by 1.8m of water."It looks like they're boats on top of the water," said Rosa Knowles-Bain, 61, a resident who fled two days ago to an emergency shelter.
Dorian could drive seawater inland as it approaches, with parts of the northern Florida and Georgia coasts seeing as much as 2.1m, said NHC Director Ken Graham, urging residents of coastal areas to obey any evacuation orders. Nine counties in Florida have issued mandatory evacuation orders. They included parts of Duval County, which includes Jacksonville, one of Florida's two biggest cities, and some areas in Palm Beach County, home to Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
"What deterred me is everything was open, the garbage man came today, the post office was delivering, so those things kind of make you indecisive."
