Titusville, Fla. - Hurricane Dorian battered the Bahamas early on Monday, peeling off roofs, toppling cars and snapping power lines as rising floodwater threatened to engulf houses.
Winds gusting up to 200 mph destroyed or damaged more than 13,000 homes, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said. It was about 125 miles from the Florida coast, where residents said they were already experiencing strong winds and high surf. Several gasoline stations around Titusville were closed. Many grocery stores were open but boarded up. Inside, shelves emptied out fast.
Evacuations ordered in Florida included 14,000 people in St. Augustine. Authorities said they would release more details during the day as the hurricane’s path became clearer. Dorian is the strongest hurricane on record to hit the northwestern Bahamas as a life-threatening Category 5 storm on the five-step Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale.
