Hurricane Dorian increases in Strength - upgraded to Category 4

Dorian was on Friday night, local time, about 60 miles east of northwestern Bahamas with winds of up to 60 meters per second.

In the Bahamas people have begun to evacuate before the hurricane, which is expected to reach the country's northwestern islands in a few days.

According to several forecasts, the hurricane will reach the US southeast coast on Monday, which among other things announced an emergency state of Florida.

- We are considering an evacuation in Florida, but it is a little premature. We are likely to make a decision on Sunday, US President Donald Trump said in a statement Friday, reports Reuters.

According to the news agency AP, there is still a chance that Dorian will not move inland but stay on the coast. This is according to new forecasts from various meteorological computer systems.

- There is hope, meteorologist Jeff Masters tells AP.
