August 28 11:05 a.m. update: Minutes after releasing the 11 a.m. update for Dorian, the National Hurricane Center updated the track to show Dorian could be a Category 3 storm -- a major hurricane -- during landfall in Florida Monday morning.

Hurricane warnings are already in effect in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands ahead of landfall.

The First Alert Weather Center says all indications show by this Labor Day weekend, a
powerful hurricane will be near Florida or the southeastern coast of the United States.

Jacksonville Mayor Curry said in an 11:15 a.m. briefing that the city is still two days away from making any decisions on evacuations.

He said anyone who lives in a mobile home should start thinking about evacuation plans today.

Dorian's updated track shows winds are up to 70 mph. It is forecast to become a major hurricane north of the Bahamas on Sunday morning before landfall Monday morning along the east coast of Florida.

 We at SERVPRO of Fernandina Beach/Jacksonville Northeast urge you to stay informed about this potentially dangerous storm.
