The death toll from devastating Hurricane Dorian will be 'staggering' with thousands still missing, officials have warned amid reports looters are 'trying to shoot people' in the scramble for food and water.

Up to 70,000 are in need of 'life-saving assistance' while Great Abaco is said to be virtually uninhabitable, with bodies piled up and witnesses say there is a 'smell of death' with corpses floating in the water.

While the official death toll stands at 30, that number is expected to rise today and hundreds of body bags have been ordered along with extra freezers.

A massive international relief effort was ramped up today as survivors revealed horrifying details of the 'apocalyptic' aftermath of the 185mph, Category-5 storm.

One of them, Alicia Cooke, broke down in tears as she revealed: 'Everything is gone, people are starting to panic. Pillaging, looting, trying to shoot people for food and water. It's just no way everyone's going to get out.'

Thought the Bahamas were pretty much a gun free zone already. So, must be fake news right? I mean, someone would actually break the law?

Good thing we stocked up on extra guns and ammo or we would be at their mercy!

there are no guns in the Bahamas. Did someone impersonate the Professor from Gilligan’s Island and create a tech toy from coconuts? s/

I spoke with a woman who, as a child, had survived Florida’s devastating hurricane that ended the land boom in the ‘20’s. She was evacuating after the storm on a train. She said that people had stacked bodies like cordwood for miles along the tracks.

If you’re willing to do a little work you can achieve a lot.

Why "warned"?
Who are they "warning" and about what?

The take away is that after only a few days of a disaster, anarchy will start. Buy more guns and ammo.

The Left is about to trash Trump for not paying a massive sum to help the Bahamas.

Just wait...

Thugs probably do not need guns there. Gang with machetes would be even quieter death. Got to feed those big arms, the island coconut entitlement welfare mentality morphs into cannibalism as per Jack London
