If anyone still cares, Dorian is now Post tropical but hit Canada with the force of a Cat 2.
Some discussions

Post-Tropical Cyclone Dorian Discussion Number 59
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052019
500 PM AST Sat Sep 07 2019

Satellite imagery and surface observations indicate that Dorian has
lost tropical cyclone characteristics and is now a hurricane-force
extratropical low. The initial intensity is held at 85 kt based
mainly on the earlier scatterometer data.

The initial motion is 040/26. Strong mid-latitude southwesterly
flow should steer Dorian across Nova Scotia and other portions of
eastern Canada during the next 24-30 h. After that, the cyclone
should turn east-northeastward over the far north Atlantic, with
this motion continuing for the rest of the system's life.

Thanks for the update, @Arcadian Dorian may have left the USA, but is not over yet.

I’m still watching, as I have friends in Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia.

Also friends who are vacationing on Prince Edward Island, and a couple whose yacht is moored in Halifax Harbour.

Apparently there are about half a million people without electricity in the Atlantic provinces. It looks pretty bad:

I hope your friends are ok through this. I've gotten to see some footage and its not at all pretty.

For Post-tropical Storm Dorian.

The next full information statement will be issued by 3.00 a.m. ADT.

The center of Post-Tropical cyclone Dorian tracked across central Nova Scotia this evening and is currently located over the eastern Northumberland Strait. Dorian will continue to track into the Gulf of St Lawrence overnight with powerful winds and heavy rainfall. Strong winds will very slowly diminish overnight over the southwestern Maritimes.

1. Summary of basic information at 12.00 a.m. ADT.

The center of Post-Tropical Dorian was located near latitude 46.3 N longitude 62.1 W or about 120 km east of Charlottetown PE. Dorian still an intense Post-Tropical cyclone with maximum winds estimated at 75 knots...140 km/h and central pressure at 960 mb. Dorian is moving northeast at about 23 knots...43 km/h.

2. Summary of latest information.

By late this evening there were over 500,000 power ouatges across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. There have been countless reports of downed or uprooted trees, a large construction crane has collapsed in downtown Halifax, and storm surge flooding in several Atlantic coastal areas including Halifax Harbour, and along eastern coastlines in New Brunswick.

Very strong winds have now moved into Prince Edward Island, Iles de la Madeleine, and western Newfoundland. Summerside PE recently reported a wind gust of 115 km/h, Iles de la Madeleine QC recently gusted to 120 km/h, and Stephenville and Port Aux Basques NL recently gusted to 104 km/h and 124 km/h respectively.

Many reports of heavy rainfall of 75 to 150 millimeters were observed over western half of Nova Scotia, southeastern New Brunswick and western Prince Edward Island.

Some offshore buoys reported wind gusts as high as 150 km/h and peak waves over 20 metres.

Once again, thanks so much for all the information @Arcadian. From what I understand, Dorian has now moved off to the sea. I hope that’s the end of him!
