CNN: Hurricane Dorian Still a Cat 3 Storm

‘Flooding is still going to be the concern out of this storm’

EXCERPT:

CHICNHAR: "Yes, we’re now starting to see the storm begin to slow back down again. The new forward movement now dropping down to 7 miles per hour. But it’s due north. We have yet to see that shift off to the east yet, which means it is possible we could end up getting a landfall today in South Carolina rather than tomorrow in North Carolina. Both of those scenarios are very possible over the next 24 to 36 hours. Winds are still sustained at 115 miles per hour, so it is still a category 3 storm. Again, continuing to bring a lot of these very strong rain bands into the Carolinas. The biggest update we have for you is just within the last hour we have a brand-new tornado watch in effect for portions of North and South Carolina as these storms continue to move onshore. You can see a lot of lightning here pushing in towards Wilmington, again in that Myrtle Beach area. Look at this. We’ve got not one but three different active tornado warnings at this point in time. This is likely going to be a trend that continues off and on throughout the day as those bands continue to push inland.”
