Hurricane Dorian brings devastation to north Bahamas

early Monday, lashing the archipelago with 200 mph wind gusts and flooding the low-lying islands with a storm surge of up to 23 feet above normal.

When the hurricane made landfall on neighboring Great Abaco Island on Sunday at 2 p.m., Dorian's maximum sustained winds were 185 mph — an Atlantic hurricane record matched only by a storm that struck the Florida Keys in 1935.Although top sustained wind speeds have decreased to 165 mph early Monday, the hurricane center still called it"a life-threatening situation."

The National Hurricane Center said winds gusts of up to 200 mph and storm surge up to 23 feet above normal tide levels will continue over Grand Bahama Island during most of the day on Monday,"causing extreme destruction on the island."There was little information coming from the affected islands. Videos and photos shot by residents of Great Abaco island and obtained by NBC News showed relentless gusts of wind toppling trees and structural damage that included collapsed roofs.

I see the barometric pressure has dropped at West Palm, just like it’s sucking the hurricane towards it

This always does that before it hits the US.

Being controlled to tear up the East Coast for PROFITS! Just watch and wait. Hurricanes create massive wealth.

realdillonroyal How far north will Dorian go? How will ocean water temperature affect the Dorian's destructive power?

“Remains powerful “ no shit Sherlock it’s a Cat. 4 .....

Ok so where’s that turn

I live in west palm beach we boutta have the whole week off for school 🥳

And this clown, realDonaldTrump, finds the time to go golfing.

I can outrun the hurricane..

Thank God.

That storm looks like a direct hit on Florida. Turning north is running out of time.

Aw lawd she comin

1 MPH!!!! Jeez, I can crawl faster than that!

What most people aren't getting is the slower this monster moves, the worse the chances of making it out without severe damage. A storm with a bar of 916 over warm water, can flood Florida. Not just a city, I'm talking the east coast

Maybe the hurricane with throw all of the guns out of America and into the sea? silverlinings

1 mph! It's basically stationed at the Bahamas.

NHC on Hurricane Dorian's ongoing threat: 'Interests everywhere from the east coast of Florida northeastward to the Outer Banks of North Carolina should be closely monitoring Dorian.'

Hopefully it keeps downgrading.

😳😳😳😳

Be CAREFUL - you're in the EYE OF THE STORM. Get back to be safe. And if you're in a flooding area, move to a refuge!!!!

Northern Bahamas hunkers down as Hurricane Dorian closes inA dangerous Hurricane Dorian closed in on the northern Bahamas early Sunday, threatening to batter islands with 150 mph winds, pounding waves and torrential rain as people hunkered down in schools, churches and other shelters. سبحان ربي الأعلى 🇸🇦🕋🇸🇦 Wow! Discount airfare to the Bahamas! Puts my hair standing on end. This is almost the exact same sort of winds I experienced back in 1988 when on Cozumel, MX hurricane Gilbert hit. Gilbert was a much larger size storm than Dorian, but it appears the wind speeds are about the same. Prayers your way folks.
