Although it is now a tropical storm, Dorian could intensify and become a hurricane, with maximum sustained winds between 74 and 95 miles per hour, according to forecasts from the National Hurricane Center (CNH). Where will it go? Puerto Rico is already under hurricane watch, awaiting the arrival of Dorian on Wednesday morning. Island Governor Wanda Vázquez declared a state of emergency because of the Dorian threat, which comes two years after the devastating Hurricane Maria. Already island residents are stocking up on gasoline and groceries should they be affected.
“To the people, calm down. We will continue forward. We are ready and we are going to pray to God (that the atmospheric system) be diverted and that we do not go through that experience again, said the governor during a press conference. According to reports, there are more than 360 shelters open on the island, which has also been supplied by thousands of generators in case of problems with electricity since Dorian could become stronger and become a category 1 hurricane.
Dorian would also scourge the Dominican Republic and Haiti on Thursday. It would then move to the Bahamas and Florida could be affected this weekend, especially the central and southern parts of the state, according to forecasts. Meteorologists continue to closely watch this tropical storm that does not fade and continues to advance through the Caribbean.
