CORRECTED-Hurricane Dorian lashes Bahamas, a million evacuated along U.S. east coastHurricane Dorian battered the Bahamian islands of Great Abaco and Grand Bahama early on Monday, peeling off roofs, toppling cars and snapping power lines as rising floodwater threatened to engulf houses. The second-strongest Atlantic storm on record was forecast to pound the archipelago through the day, then move towards the east U.S. coast – where authorities ordered more than a million people evacuated in Florida, South Carolina and Georgia.
