Hurricane Dorian is drenching North and South Carolina after devastating the Bahamas, where it left at least 20 people dead.
Overnight, the eye of the hurricane churned off the coast of South Carolina, where dangerously high winds and rain caused power outages for tens of thousands of people. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said the category 3 strength hurricane could maintain intensity for several days before weakening through Saturday.
We’ll have updates here as the hurricane moves north as well as dispatches from the Bahamas and other regions most impacted by the storm.
