Why Hurricane Dorian is so dangerous

CNN  

CNN — Hurricane Dorian is scary for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that it’s expected to be a monstrous Category 4 storm by the time it gets to Florida early next week. With the caveat that forecasts often change as the storm approaches, here are the risks Dorian seems poised to pose: It could be dark at landfall Forecasts as of midday Friday predict Dorian making landfall late Monday or early Tuesday – while it’s still dark – somewhere on Florida’s Atlantic coast. Here’s what Hurricane Dorian is expected to do before it makes landfall Power outages could last weeks in areas affected by winds of these speeds. King Tides could make them worse With any landfalling hurricane, you’ll want to look for storm surges – winds and pressure pushing seawater onto land. Storm surges north of wherever Dorian makes landfall “could easily be over 8 to 12 feet,” Myers said.
