Hurricane Dorian, now a Category 2 storm after devastating much of the Bahamas, is slowly churning toward northeastern Georgia and the Carolinas after grazing Florida.

Storm surge warnings remain are in place for sections of the east coast of Florida, but the storm itself may not make landfall at all. As of 2 a.m. ET on Wednesday, it is 80 miles from Cape Canaveral.

Dorian, currently producing maximum sustained winds of 110 mph, is projected to move north towards South Carolina, nearing the state's east coast late Wednesday.

The potential track is shown above on Google's Crisis Map, which is based on US government data. It suggests that Dorian could rake the US coast without making landfall.

This map shows the official National Hurricane Center's version of the cone:
