Hurricane Dorian is still hovering over Grand Bahama, battering the island with maximum sustained winds of 140 miles per hour.

A few hours ago, the Category 4 hurricane was still slowly inching its way westward at 1 mile per hour — now, it’s stopped in place and is “stationary,” according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

The NHC warned residents in Grand Bahama and the Abaco Islands that they should stay in shelter, as they are currently experiencing the eyewall — it surrounds the eye of the storm, and carries the strongest and most destructive winds.

Where is it going? The hurricane is forecasted to start moving again toward Florida’s east coast overnight and into Tuesday morning. It will move “dangerously close” to Florida late Tuesday and into Wednesday evening, then move toward the Georgia and South Carolina coasts on Wednesday night and into Thursday.
