good morning from the studio 57 newsroom at cbs news headquarters in new york. i'm wendy gillette in for anne-marie green. hurricane dorian intensified overnight and is now a category 2 hurricane. dorian is expected to hit somewhere between florida and southern georgia on monday and could make landfall as a powerful category 4 storm. that would make it the strongest storm to hit florida's east coast since hurricane andrew in 1992. this ominous view from the international space station shows the storm morphing into a monster. chief meteorologist craig setzer of our miami station wfor is tracking dorian's path. >> well, the storm strengthened overnight, winds up to 105 miles an hour now, moving to the

northwest at 12, expecting to continue because it's over very warm waters. the wind shear very low. it will be a category 3 today, category 4 by tomorrow as it breaches the northwest bahamas. that's the sunday evening time frame here. and then monday evening, labor day, approaching the florida coast if not making landfall or reaching the florida coast at that point in time. then after that it's a very, very slow move inland. as it slowly weakens, this means it's going to be a huge rainfall threat on top of being a wind and storm surge threat. so seriously, certainly you can see that all of the florida peninsula is covered by the cone now, including the florida keys are not out of the woods with this system, but especially along the east coast here from the space coast all the way down to south florida, miami area, have to be watching for it and ar states of emergency are in effect for florida and georgia ahead of hurricane dorian. at the kennedy space center the storm has prompted nasa to move its $650 million mobile

>> biden did award a medal to a brave soldier in 2011, but according to the "washington post," in his retelling, he got the year, location, rank, branch of service, act of heroism, and his role in the ceremony wrong. the former vice president called the criticism ridiculous and said the central point of the story was absolutely accurate. president trump officially launched the new u.s. space command to defend american interests in space. one of its duties will be to enable satellite communications for troops and commanders in the field. this is different from president trump's space force, which would be its own military service. congress will work on legislation to create the space force when it returns from august recess. the fbi is now investigating a second homicide at a west virginia v.a. facility. an autopsy revealed the death of air force veteran george nelson shaw sr. was also a homicide. the medical examiner called it death by insulin injection.
