Dorian has slowed to a halt, but will get "dangerously close" to Florida

After traveling 1,700 miles, Hurricane Dorian is now sticking around Grand Bahama.

"Now, in the last 24 hours, it's only moved halfway across Grand Bahama island," said CNN meteorologist Tom Sater.

The stalled Category 4 storm means prolonged devastation in its immediate area. Five people have died in the Abaco Islands.

Dorian is now about 105 miles from the coast of Florida, and could get even closer as it starts moving again later Monday night, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Even if it doesn't make landfall, hurricane force winds can extend outward 45 miles, and tropical storm force winds can extend out 140 miles, which could devastate the coastline and cut power in the Florida peninsula.

An aerial view of the devastation caused by Dorian on Great Abaco Island in the Bahamas.

It's difficult to tell whether one scene shows a neighborhood or an industrial center. The ruin was immense; the area had been turned into what looked from above like a floating landfill. Shipping containers were tossed among the rubble.
Brandon Clement, who was in a helicopter over the island, told CNN that even new homes constructed under more stringent building codes were destroyed by the storm. One older neighborhood is gone, he said.
"You can't tell that there are any homes there. It looks like a bunch of building materials were put in a big grinder and thrown on the ground," he said.
The Prime Minister told reporters after returning from an aerial tour of Great Abaco that he estimated there was damage to 60% of the homes there. According to a 2010 census, 17,224 people lived on the Abacos and there were about 5,200 occupied houses, apartments and townhomes with an additional 2,916 vacant units.

Trump- is not getting paid to be President so if he relaxes and doesn't know much then it's to be expected.

Here's what to expect in the next 24 hours

Dorian is slowly moving up the coast toward the Carolinas, which are being lashed with strong winds and rain.

In the next few hours, winds will likely pick up strength. Shortly after sunrise Thursday morning, winds will push close to 85 miles per hour, with Dorian just offshore of Charleston, South Carolina.

Later on Thursday, Dorian will move up toward the South Carolina cities of Myrtle Beach and Wilmington, where winds could reach upwards of 100 mph.

Thursday night into Friday could see landfall, perhaps around North Carolina's Morehead City.

The next 24 hours will likely see Dorian waver somewhere between a Category 2 and 3 storm.
