South Carolina is in the thick of Dorian before the hurricane's powerful winds take aim on North Carolina on Friday. The coastal Carolinas could see up to 15 inches of rainfall. The combination of relentless rain and a dangerous storm surge as high as 8 feet could cause life-threatening flash floods in some areas, depending on how close the eye of the storm comes to shore.
The Bahamas Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said Wednesday that Dorian has left"generational devastation" across the Abaco Islands and Grand Bahama, which are both in the archipelago's northern region, east of southern Florida.
