It's 3:00 eastern noon out west. i'm ana cabrera in new york. you're live in cnn newsroom. thanks for being here. hurricane emergency, a massive storm churning toward the east coast right now and taking direct aim at the northern most islands of the caribbean, hurricane dorian, a category 4 with winds near 150-mile-per-hour. that's not far from cat 5 status. people in south and central florida wisely making the supermarket runs even though the storm shift the east, making a direct hit there less likely. still they are keeping up the guard and watching the hurricane's every move knowing it coul...

Apples kpirz. think about the track of hurricane matthew in october of 2016 riding parallel with the east coast of florida. now think about what dorian is doing. it's approaching from the east to the west, meaning it's running perpendicular to the shoreline when it approaches. and then we are relying on it to make the right hand turn. we are literally relying on expert meteorological analysis as well as data. and unfortunately the data that we put into the computer models that we look at so closely is only as good as what we have available to us. it's great over land but terrible over the ocea...

There is free port. there is the storm at 10:00 p.m. sunday morning. there is the storm mat 10:00 p.m. sunday night. did you see it move? here is the storm 10:00 a.m. sunday morning, oh, my gosh, this thing has been in the bahamas now for 24 hours at 140-mile-per-hour. but wait. there is more. here you go. sunday, 11, 10:00 p.m. -- p.m. -- another 12 hours in the same spot and then finally begins to move by tuesday. so this is not turning. it's stopping and then making almost an 90 degree left-hand turn. if you believe that -- but it wouldn't have to go much farther west to have that over flor...

Time is gets closer. all we already know is that the hurricane warnings are posted for the bahamas and rightfully so. 36 hours of a storm at 140-mile-per-hour or greater in any spot will do unimaginable damage and harm to that area. storm surge, wind damage, an awful lot of rainfall coming down too like that's not even a huge problem at this point in time when your winds are 140. waves off the east coast will be 40 feet. that's not on shore. there will be breakers before that. but eventually this thing gets up to the carolina with large breakers. but neither model right now -- all model are in...
