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

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.
