Hurricane Joaquin, an extremely dangerous Category 4 storm, remains parked over the central Bahamas producing hurricane-force winds, storm surge flooding and torrential rain.

It has now been an over 24-hour siege of Joaquin’s eyewall, the ring of extreme winds surrounding the eye itself, hammering Acklins, Crooked Island, Mayaguana and uninhabited Samana Cay in the central Bahamas. The eyewall also continues to pummel Rum CaySan Salvador and Long Island.
