Aerial view shows Northeast Florida coastline mostly spared by Dorian

Read full article: Aerial view shows Northeast Florida coastline mostly spared by Dorian

From Neptune Beach to Flagler Beach, the aerial tour showed that most of the coastline was spared. It's unclear if the damage to one home was done during a previous storm or if Hurricane Dorian was to blame. Farther south in Flagler County, Sky 4 drone video captured what the Flagler Beach pier looked liked before Hurricane Dorian passed by the coastline. According to the Flagler Beach Police Department, the pier may have suffered structural damage during the height of Hurricane Dorian. Though Hurricane Dorian passed Northeast Florida with all its fury, the storm was about 100 miles offshore Wednesday when it moved along that part of the state's coast.

JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. - For most people, Hurricane Dorians highly anticipated arrival offshore of Jacksonville was a sign to stay inside until the storm passed. Rob Emahiser with Jacksonville Beach Ocean Rescue told News4Jax afterward. Neptune Beach lifeguard saved a woman who was standing on shore, current came, knocked her down, and pulled her into the current. DO NOT go to the beach and in the water to take part in hurricane swells. Among them was Jimmy, a Fernandina Beach resident who decided to catch some waves as Hurricane Floyd swept through in 1999.

Congregation hopes power of prayer will keep Dorian away

Read full article: Congregation hopes power of prayer will keep Dorian away

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Using the power of prayer, a congregation gathered Thursday evening at the Jacksonville Beach Pier to keep Dorian away from Jacksonville, and tell the storm to "calm down." "We're coming out here as group of believers like we did 2 years ago for Hurricane Irma," Mary Paker said. News4Jax was there in 2017 when the group gathered at the same time, in the same place as it did on Thursday night. "We were overcome by social media response and what others do in their own town and beaches." Meteorologists are pretty sure Hurricane Dorian will be a major storm when it hits Florida around Labor Day, but they don't yet know exactly where it will strike.
