Melbourne, Fla. – Hurricane Dorian started a slow turn to the northwest Tuesday but remained hunkered down over the Bahamas, a historic and violent Category 3 storm mercilessly pummeling the islands as the U.S. East Coast anxiously awaited its approach…
Early Tuesday the center of the storm, which had completely stalled, began crawling along at about 1 mph. The storm is about 45 miles northeast of Freeport on Grand Bahama Island, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
The storm has barely budged since Monday afternoon, triggering severe flooding as parts of the country face the prospects of up to 30 inches of rain. Wind speeds lessened slightly but still roared at 115 mph, with gusts of 140 mph. A storm surge of up to 15 feet was swamping neighborhoods.
“These hazards will continue over Grand Bahama Island through today,” the hurricane center warned.

Things are looking better for Florida. Wish it would go farther out to sea and away from land.

The problem is that it’s so huge and slow.
