McLEAN’S TOWN CAY, Bahamas (AP) — Nearly 1,000 flights have been canceled in Florida on Labor Day as Hurricane Dorian barrels toward the U.S. East Coast. The flight tracking site FlightAware on Monday listed 990 cancellations into or out of airports in Orlando, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and Palm Beach.

UNDATED (AP) — Dorian is a powerful but small hurricane and forecasters say that makes predicting its path delicate and difficult. The director of the National Hurricane Center, Ken Graham, is telling people not to bet on safety just because his forecasters have the storm just a bit offshore. Graham says that it’s “more touch-and-go” with every new forecast. Meteorologists say just a few miles west or east can make the difference between devastation and bad but not horrible damage.
