1. My heart goes out to those people.

[yaesu]

2. 220 mph gusts, 25 foot storm surge, its about as bad as it gets. nt

[yaesu]

3. Trump said Sunday that he's "not sure that (he's) ever even heard of a Category 5" hurricane,

he is a complete moron.

[mgardener]

9. The POTUS

Is a dumb ass.
Is this dementia or does he lie so much he cannot remember what he says?

[Maxheader]

20. both...

[Scarsdale]

10. That is only ONE thing he

is "not sure of" I don't think he is even sure he is getting fatter and fatter. Or that he is an absolute idiot. We HAVE to get him and the gop OUT of power ASAP.

22. It is the free food in White House prepared by

white house chefs, all courtesy of tax payers.

[Scarsdale]

23. His "taste" only reaches

as far as Burger King, KFC and McDonalds. Someone at the WH must switch his shirts for larger sizes every month or so. His collar looks so tight, he looks as though he is ready to burst out of it. Those "Made in China" shirts and suits he wears are not the best quality. It would not matter what quality his clothes are, he makes EVERYTHING look cheap.

24. LOL .. nt

[tclambert]

19. Well, I'm not sure I've ever heard of a President as stupid as the 45th.

[barbtries]

4. i hope everyone got out in time.

scary storm.

[MBS]

11. My hope, too

Somewhere I read that altitude of town is only 13 feet above sea level- where can you even escape in those circumstances?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

21. Oh no... :(

[mountain grammy]

5. Oh no..

[yardwork]

6. Those poor people.

[yaesu]

7. these islands are completely flat, nowhere to go when you're dealing with this kind of monster. nt

[bronxiteforever]

8. Those poor people!

[Soph0571]

12. Just awful

I hope everyone is alright. I am worried about the after care. Normally the UK would stand up in these situations... but...

[Gumboot]

13. Yeah, I'm sure it's the last thing on Boris' tiny mind right now.

A far-flung corner of the empire with a mostly brown population is not going to be job #1 for his regime tomorrow morning.

Hard to believe there's anything left standing after a Category 5 hit. And look at the height of the surge, too. Just mind-boggling that anyone survived, let alone was able to film and transmit these pictures.

Watch out Florida, this is coming your way in a few hours.

[Ghost Dog]

18. The Commonwealth of the Bahamas is an independent country since 1973.

Nothing to do with UK now.

[PSPS]

14. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to have affected all of the Bahamas

These live webcams show the Nassau area:

15. From the Weather Channel

Most major resorts closed as Hurricane Dorian neared the Caribbean nation's northwest islands. At greatest risk are the islands of Great Abaco and Grand Bahama.

28. Nassau is 100 miles south of the eye, so it should be a "normal" tropical storm there.

Maybe not quite 100 miles, but still well south of the path.

Freeport should be getting it a lot worse, being closer to the path.

It looks like the U.S. mainland will be spared the direct hit. This time.

[NastyRiffraff]

16. That is terrible

I hope everyone there is okay.

[steve2470]

17. really terrible sight nt

25. Video from the Minister of Agriculture's home - this is a 20 foot storm surge

Link to tweet

The video shows water swirling around and pushing against the doors and windows of Michael Pintard’s home in Grand Bahama. “This is what I am facing at the moment,” he says in his narration. “And I have neighbors that are in a far worse position than me and my family.”

26. Even though

there is officially no Category 6, (yet) Dorian has pushed, record-wise, against the limits of 5. It has shattered many records.

[riversedge]

27. geez. no words.

#Dorian Has wreaked havoc on Abacos and Grand Bahama Islands over the past 24+ hours. Here is a satellite recap as it approached, made a 2nd landfall and then stalled out over Grand Bahama Island. Now the storm is finally starting to pull away. In its wake utter devastation... https://t.co/nyFzaPxQOF
