Hurricane Dorian heads towards USA after battering Bahamas

Hurricane Dorian edges dangerously close to the US mainland, after its catastrophic two-day stall over the Bahamas destroyed thousands of homes and left at least five people dead.

Rescue missions by British Navy and Coast Guards are underway as more causalities are expected, according to Prime Minister of Bahamas.

The storm’s slow north-westerly crawl towards Florida finally began on yesterday morning.

Despite weakening to a category 2 storm with sustained winds of 110mph, Dorian remained powerful, experts warned, with the potential to deliver life-threatening storm surge and dangerous hurricane-force winds to central Florida.

States of emergency has been increased in US states Florida, Georgia and North/South Carolina as Dorian continues to crawl towards Florida.
