JUST IN: Hurricane Dorian weakens to a Category 1 storm. -90 mph winds -Moving NE at 15 mph -Located 40 miles east northeast of Wilmington, North Carolina
The Category 2 storm, with sustained winds of 100 mph, passed southeast of Myrtle Beach, SC, Thursday night, pummeling the South Carolina coastline with winds, storm surge and heavy rain .
"This won’t be a brush-by," Cooper added."Whether it comes ashore or not, the eye of the storm will be close enough to cause extensive damage." Even those who live farther inland should pay close attention to flood watches and be ready to evacuate if asked to by local officials, Cooper said, noting that cars can be washed off roadways in just a few inches of rain.
Charleston's narrow, low-lying streets -- which are prone to flooding -- were submerged with more than 6 inches of rain. Before reaching the United States, Dorian slammed into the Bahamas on Sunday afternoon as a Category 5 storm, the strongest Atlantic hurricane landfall on record. Princess Margaret Hospital in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, is now the only hospital capable of treating the most seriously injured from across the 700-plus islands and cays, according to Dr. Caroline Burnett-Garraway, medical chief of staff at the hospital.
