MIAMI-Hurricane Dorian grew into a menacing Category 5 storm early Sunday as it took aim at the Bahamas, threatening severe flooding and devastating winds.
The core of the storm was expected to move over Great Abaco Island in the northern Bahamas on Sunday morning and near or over Grand Bahama Island later in the day and Monday, according to the National Hurricane Center.

On Sunday morning, the storm was about 35 miles east of Great Abaco Island and 225 miles east of West Palm Beach, Fla., according to the hurricane center.
Though forecasts show the storm is unlikely to make landfall in the state, that remains a possibility, the hurricane center said.
Orlando International Airport dropped plans to close on Monday, citing the reduced likelihood of the storm hitting central Florida.
Trump administration officials said President Trump had been actively involved in preparations for Dorian and was closely tracking the storm.
