Florida residents stock up as the National Hurricane Center warns that Hurricane Dorian is expected to strengthen into a potentially catastrophic Category 4
Florida's largest power company says it has secured about 13,000 employees and additional personnel to work to restore powerlines and equipment damaged by Hurricane Dorian.
Tiffany Miranda of Miami Springs waited well over 30 minutes in line at BJ's Wholesale Club in Hialeah to buy hurricane supplies. Some 50 vehicles were bumper-to-bumper, waiting to fill up at the store's 12 gas pumps. It is expected to pick up steam as it pushes out into warm waters with favourable winds, the University of Miami's McNoldy said, adding: "Starting tomorrow, it really has no obstacles left in its way."
Also imperilled were the Bahamas, with Dorian's expected track running just to the north of Great Abaco and Grand Bahama islands. Royal Caribbean, Carnival and Norwegian began rerouting their cruise ships. Major airlines began allowing travellers to change their reservations without a fee.
