From Fox News:

FOX NEWS - A menacing Hurricane Dorian is taking aim at the northern Bahamas early Sunday, strengthening to a "catastrophic" Category 5 storm -- packing winds of 175 mph and the threat of torrential rain that could last for days as millions in the U.S. along the Southeast coast from Florida to North Carolina are keeping an eye on where the storm may head next.

The National Hurricane Center as of 9:30 a.m. Sunday reported the center of the Category 5 storm was located around 25 miles east of Great Abaco Island in the Bahamas and 210 miles east of West Palm Beach, as it was moving west at 8 mph with maximum sustained winds of 175 mph.

Dorian is an "extremely dangerous" hurricane according to Fox News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean, who said the storm is set to deliver a "devastating blow" to the northwest Bahamas Sunday through Monday.
