(TWC) – Hurricane Dorian is now unleashing its siege of storm surge flooding, rainfall flooding, high winds and tornadoes as it tracks near the coasts of South Carolina, North Carolina and southeast Virginia through Friday. Dorian’s maximum sustained winds increased to the 115-mph threshold required to regain Category 3 status. Despite that, its damaging impacts are likely to remain the same as it hammers this part of the Southeast coast.
Tornado watches are in effect for parts of northern South Carolina and eastern North Carolina through late afternoon and early evening. A number of damaging tornadoes have already happened Thursday morning. One apparent tornado damaged homes near Carolina Shores, North Carolina. Another tornado sighted by law enforcement in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, damaged condos and a trailer park. READ MORE
