Officials were monitoring Abaco Island where shelters were opened to help residents living in shelters since the devastation cased there by the Category Five hurricane Dorian in September last year.

Hurricane Isaias weakened following its passage through The Bahamas but forecasters expect it to strengthen again on Sunday as it moves towards Florida.
