Right now, Dorian is approaching several Caribbean islands.The tropical storm is expected to be a Category 1 hurricane as it approaches Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic on Wednesday and Thursday,

Re: Tropical storm Dorian nears Puerto Rico..!
Wow....this is scary stuff.....so sad for those in its path
The latest forecast shows that Tropical Storm Dorian shifted slightly north and Puerto Rico may take a direct hit.
Dorian is forecast to intensify into a hurricane after it passes the Windward Islands and moves into the Caribbean Sea

Re: Tropical storm Dorian nears Puerto Rico..!
I'm hoping it's not as bad as they're predicting.....
Dorian is set to slam Puerto Rico's eastern half Wednesday afternoon with heavy rains -- and potentially flooding and landslides -- along roughly the same path that Hurricane Maria took to devastate the island two years ago.
Dorian could dump as many as 10 inches of rain in parts of Puerto Rico and the British and US Virgin Islands, the National Hurricane Center says.
