Will someone blame Trump?

It looks like a war zone

So heartbreaking. As we in Florida wake up today fortunate to miss this storm, there is absolutely no joy knowing the gut-wrenching suffering that has taken place here and likely much, much worse on the island hit yesterday. Sustained cat 5 wind and 30 foot water is simply unimaginable.

The radar footage is unreal... you can see Dorian at Cat 5 with the edge of its eye cutting a slow buzzsaw across, then just sitting on top of the island for over a day. Anything that was on the east half of the island has to be erased now.

Wow. These people need help and they need it now. This is a crisis.

A hurricane is a natural heat engine. Notice how it went down in intensity as it sat on that island. It was moving so slowly you could have been in it’s eye and walked with it. Perhaps some survived that way.

Looks like the “storm surge” went completely over this island...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QoqtB6HPMY

Why didn’t Trump nuke the hurricane?!

Some of it doesn’t look too bad. Some of it looks really bad.

A lot of trees are still standing. I wonder how much he paid the pilot and where the chopper was stored during the storm?

It is easy to notice in the viedo that some buildings remain standing, even though they were no less in the path of the storm than those that lie fallen. So, with how many modern years of experience with Hurricanes have the folks of the Bahama’s failed to improve construction standards for a very well known common problem in the Carribean?? Will Dorian change that? Somehow I doubt it.

Wow. What’s not flooded is destroyed and what’s not destroyed is flooded.

Reminds me of footage of bombed Japanese and German cities in WW2.

Don’t like to see people, communities, and regions exposed to this sort of thing. Will be interesting to hear our Left attack those who handle the response in the Bahamas.

Crickets...

Terrible. I've been in typhoons, but never any that did this much damage.

Not to sound callous, but periodic disasters like this are the price of having bragging rights to living in a tropical "paradise." Most other times we envy these people. Not today.

This looks much like the Florida Panhandle did right after Michal ripped through here as a Cat 5. So sad. We still have many living in campers, rv’s, even tents in some cases. Prayers for all those affected.

Doesn't look like CAT5 damage. 185mph sustained winds with 220mph gusts would have scoured that place to the bedrock.

Example F5 tornado damage
