Dorian so loud it "sounds like a jet engine"

Dorian's maximum sustained winds have slowed slightly, from 185 miles per hour earlier Sunday evening to 170 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

The storm is still whipping the northern Bahamas, where residents have endured a night of howling winds and heavy rain. Dorian is moving very slowly west at 5 mph and is expected to move west to northwest on Monday, before gradually turning north.

This means it will likely continue to pound Grand Bahama Island through much of Monday and Monday night, and move closer to Florida's east coast from Monday night to Wednesday evening.

Storm surges and the rising tide will cause water to move inland and flood normally dry areas of the Abaco Islands, the NHC said. However, water levels should start slowly subsiding on the islands on Tuesday, it added.
