• Storm. Florida prepares for the Dorian, its worst hurricane in three decades

Hurricane Dorian continues to strengthen and reached category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson scale , (over a maximum of 5), with maximum sustained winds of 115 miles per hour (185 km / h) on its slow road to Florida, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) of the USA.

In its bulletin of 14.00 local time (18.00 GMT), the NHC indicated that Dorian is about 445 miles (715 km) east of the northern islands of the Bahamas archipelago and about 625 miles (1,005 km) east of Palm Beach , in southern Florida.

The powerful cyclone also now moves more than 10 miles per hour (17 km) in a northwest direction, allowing it to organize better and gain even more power.

The CHN expects the northwest-west movement to begin tonight and remain until early next week. For this reason, this agency of the United States administration has asked residents for a contingency plan to acquire the necessary provisions to deal with the weather phenomenon.

For its part, hurricane winds extend up to 35 kilometers from the center and those of tropical storm force extend up to 165 kilometers.

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has announced that he will cancel a trip to Poland because the storm can be "very, very big."

"In the north there are high pressures, which means that the hurricane has to go further south and, in fact, the prediction models indicate that it could approach the coast of Florida in the beginning of the week next. Where exactly? There are still discrepancies in the calculations, "explained eltiempo.es meteorologist Mario Picazo.

It is not the first time that the State of Florida is threatened by a hurricane, and in 2017 Hurricane Irma hit the south of the region and obtained a category four that left serious damage in the Keys. For its part, last year, the north was devastated by Michael, who reached the highest level (5).
