  Tuesday, September 3rd, 2019 Source: Orlando Sentinel

Hurricane Dorian weakened further into a Category 2 hurricane but grew larger in size as it finally began moving northwest Tuesday morning, aiming its dangerous winds and life-threatening storm surge off Florida’s coast after devastating Grand Bahama Island.

As of 11 a.m., the storm dropped to a high Category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph and higher gusts and minimum central pressure of 955 mb, and was located 105 miles east of Fort Pierce and 45 miles north of Freeport, Grand Bahama.

Dorian began moving northwest at 2 mph after stalling most of Monday and overnight into Tuesday morning with 120 mph winds as it tormented the Bahamas, where it struck Sunday as a deadly Category 5 hurricane with 185 mph sustained winds and 220 mph gusts.

The National Hurricane Center warned people not to be fooled by a false sense of safety because Dorian’s wind speeds decreased: “The combined wind, surge, and floods hazards are the same or even worse since the hurricane has become larger.”
