Monster storm Dorian hovered over the Bahamas as surging seawaters and ferocious winds sowed chaos in low-lying island communities, killing at least five people and spurring mass evacuations on the US east coast
Nassau - Weakening slightly but still packing a powerful punch, Hurricane Dorian churned towards the southeastern coast of the United States on Tuesday after delivering a devastating blow to the Bahamas.
The online Bahamas Press published video of flooding in the Rand Memorial Hospital in Freeport and said patients had been forced to evacuate. Dorian, which has dumped as much as 30 inches of rain on the Bahamas, was downgraded Tuesday morning from a Category 3 to a Category 2 storm on the five-level wind scale.
Dorian was located about 105 miles east of Fort Pierce, Florida, and moving in a northwesterly direction towards the Florida coast at five miles per hour, it said.
