MIAMI - Hurricane Dorian has gained fearsome new muscle as an"extremely dangerous" Category 4 storm, bearing down on the northwestern Bahamas early Saturday en route to Florida's east coast.
The faint hope of dodging Dorian's fury came Friday, even as the storm ratcheted up from a menacing Category 3 hurricane to an even more dangerous Category 4. That raised fears Dorian could become the most powerful hurricane to hit Florida's east coast in nearly 30 years. Mr Trump has declared a state of emergency in Florida and authorised the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate disaster-relief efforts."This is big and is growing, and it still has some time to get worse", Julio Vasquez said at a Miami fast-food joint next to a gas station that had run out of fuel.
"Sometimes if you evacuate too soon, you may evacuate into the path of the storm if it changes," Governor Ron DeSantis said. At a Publix supermarket in Cocoa Beach, Ed Ciecirski of the customer service department said the pharmacy was extra busy with people rushing to fill prescriptions. The grocery was rationing bottled water and had run out of dry ice.Early Saturday, Dorian was centered 445 miles east of West Palm Beach. It was moving northwest at 12 mph . Forecasters warned that its slow movement means Florida could face a prolonged wallop of wind, storm surge and torrential rain.
