As Tropical Storm Dorian drew closer Tuesday, Puerto Rico braced for the possibility that it would not just sideswipe the island but perhaps make landfall there. The authorities, acting under a state of emergency, closed schools early and prepared emergency shelter for tens of thousands of people.
Forecasters expect Hurricane Dorian to arrive somewhere along the east coast of Florida on Tuesday afternoon. But exactly where is still a mystery, with some prediction models suggesting a direct blow to Central Florida and others projecting the storm to veer north or south.
