[Marsh Harbor (Bahamas) 2nd Reuters]-A large and powerful hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas on the 2nd. According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), it is expected to approach Florida's east coast from late 2nd night to 4th night and then reach the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina on the 5th.
Dorian was downgraded to “Category 4”, the fourth strongest of the five levels, on the morning of the 2nd, but still maintained strong power. 2 o'clock US eastern time at 3pm (Japan time 3am at 4am) is currently on the Grand Bahama Island and is moving at a speed of 1 mph. The NHC has called for caution as the sea level may rise 18-23 feet above normal in some areas.
In the White House, officials formulated hurricane countermeasures. According to a spokesman, President Trump receives reports every hour.
Nine counties in Florida issued a forced evacuation order as Dorian approached. It also includes Palm Beach County, where the Trump-owned resort "Mar Alago" is located.
In addition, eight evacuation orders were issued in eight counties in South Carolina and six counties in Georgia.
With the hurricane approaching, the flight was disturbed and Delta canceled 55 flights to and from the 2nd and 3rd due to the closure of airports such as Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The American Airlines group has been canceled due to airport closure.
Scientists have pointed out that hurricanes are becoming huge due to climate change.
