Hurricane Dorian is moving west at only 8 mph, inching toward the Bahamas, the islands and mainland U.S. facing catastrophic levels of destruction as meteorologists upgraded the storm to a Cat 5.
The National Weather Service confirmed landfall at Elbow Cay in the Abacos.
30 inches of rain and a 20 foot storm surge are exptected to wreak havoc on the islands, which have never taken a direct hit by a category 5 storm.
Andrew was the closest cat 5 to graze its shores in 1992.
People tracking the storm believe it will travel up the Florida coast and through the Carolinas through next week.
