Hurricane Dorian, a powerful Category 4, was at a virtual standstill over the Bahamas Monday afternoon, hitting Grand Bahama Island with 145 mph winds.
Dorian made landfall Sunday afternoon at Elbow Cay of the Abaco Islands as the strongest Atlantic hurricane landfall on record, and witnesses like Sawyer, who have chosen to shelter in place for other major hurricanes, said they've never seen anything like it.

"It's extremely dangerous, I’ve never seen anything like this before in my entire life," said Iram Lewis, parliamentary secretary in the Ministry of Public Works."Thank God I'm on high ground with my family, but there are persons out there in distress. I wish I was able to help them...I'm hoping that this weather will break soon and that as soon as possible the rescue teams can get on the road and help.
"It's a very dangerous storm. And a lot of people don't realize that even if it doesn't hit us directly, the winds and the rain are gonna be devastating. Especially with storm surge, we're right off the beach," Stern told ABC News. It has definitely picked up a bit on the coast. Rain bands from Dorian will continue into tomorrow here in South Florida. pic.twitter.com/aKM0xzwrUm
