The storm rolled over the Virgin Islands yesterday, hitting st. Thomas with wind gusts of up to 100 miles an hour. Puerto rico, were happy to say, escaped with no serious damage. Thats good news. Dorian is likely to become a major hurricane in the coming days and reach the southeast coast early next week. Florida is already under a state of emergency. Chief weather caster lonnie quinn of our new york station wcbs tv is tracking dorian. Lonnie, good morning. What are the latest changes . The latest changes we now think it is going to become Even Stronger than initially thought. It is forecast to move even slower than we originally thought. If you take a look at the latest information we have a category 1 storm, winds at 85 Miles Per Hour right now 175 miles north of puerto rico, 375 miles to the eastsoutheastf thturks and caicos. Where does it go from here . Its a cat1. We think it may stay over open water until it gets to the u. S. Coast line, a cat2 sometime thursday with 100mileperhour winds. It is a cat3 sometime friday with 115mileperhour winds. Then here we go. Up to 120 saturday. 125 on sunday. Holding the 125mileperhour status as it approaches the coast line of florida. If it gets to 130, youre talking about a category 4 storm. Do not focus on the skinny red line. All right . Yes, this is the highest probability but when you take a look at all of the models combined, this is why the cone stretches from savannah, georgia all the way down to the southern portion of florida, anywhere within that area is the possibility for a landfall.

So theyre going to preposition teams in tallahassee, two teams in atlanta, have them ready to move up and down the southeast coast. As dorian gets closer. When dorian hit the u. S. Virgin islands it brought with it heavy rain and winds. Can barely hold the camera. Reporter the storm caused widespread outages but no major damage. It is now strengthening and could be a major category 3 storm by the time it makes landfall in florida on labor day. We just get ready. Thats it. Puerto rico dodged a bullet as the storm changed course at the last minute. Floridians are being told, dont take a chance. Im not that concerned but it is better to be safe than sorry.

To scan that to check for the age that is not expired and is in fact a validish d. To release the transaction. Reporter if this works as intended a person buying a juul will have to have a valid i. D. And there will be a cap on what they can buy at any given time . Correct. Reporter how big an impact do you hope this has on youth vaping . We think it is a contributor.
