Hurricane Dorian, once again a Category 3 storm, is bearing down upon the Carolinas after sweeping past Florida and Georgia and battering the Bahamas, where it killed at least 20 people.
Dorian brought life-threatening storm surges as it reached about 80 miles (130 kilometers) south-southeast of Charleston, South Carolina, the National Hurricane Center said in an advisory at 5 a.m. New York time. The storm’s maximum sustained winds were at 115 miles per hour. Crawling on its current path at about 8 miles per hour, it’s expected to move toward the northeast.
