Several people have reported power outages in sections of St Philip, St John and Christ Church amid reports of high winds, thunder, lightning and short bursts of heavy rain. At 8 p.m. a US Air Force Hurricane Hunter located TS Dorian’s centre at just 30 miles east-southeast of Barbados, moving towards the west-northwest at 14 miles per hour, the US National Hurricane Centre reported. It said: “Dorian is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 3 to 8 inches in the Windward Islands from Martinique south to St. Vincent, including Barbados,” the NHC weather advisory said. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the storm’s centre, it added.
