As previously reported at The Root, at least seven casualties have been confirmed in what Prime Minister Hubert Minnis called โ€œone of the greatest national crises in our countryโ€™s history,โ€ one that will require โ€œa massive coordinated effort to rebuild.โ€

After grazing the coasts of Florida and Georgia, Hurricane Dorian is currently poised to pummel the Carolinas.

โ€œAll interests from northeast Florida to the Carolinas should remain vigilant to the possibility of experiencing destructive winds, flooding rains, and life-threatening storm surges from this hurricane,โ€ the National Hurricane Center warned.
