(UTV|COLOMBO) – At least seven people are confirmed to have died in the Bahamas after Hurricane Dorian wreaked havoc on the island nation.
Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said the country can “expect more deaths”, and said parts of the Abaco Islands had been “decimated” by the storm.
The hurricane has finally moved away from the Bahamas after causing widespread destruction.
Latest reports say the storm is moving parallel to the coast of Florida.
Although Hurricane Dorian has weakened to a category two storm it has grown larger in area, and has maximum sustained winds of 110mph (177km/h).
