(CNN) - Hurricane Dorian is moving slowly toward the east coast of Florida and could be the most recent of several category 5 hurricanes to endanger parts of the United States in recent years.
- 🌀 Look where Dorian is right now
Here is a review of the last category 5 hurricanes that have threatened the United States:

One of the strongest hurricanes in the Atlantic basin ever recorded outside the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea affected at least nine states in the United States in September 2017.

Hurricane Maria
It devastated the US territory of Puerto Rico that same month, leaving millions of Americans without electricity, water or shelter. Two years later, the island is still struggling to recover.
- Dorian could be the strongest hurricane to hit the east coast of Florida since Andrew
Hurricane Michael
He arrived in the Florida region known as Panhandle in October 2018, with damage that spread to the Carolinas, where flash floods turned roads into rivers.
