PR and the Bahamas luck ran out.

They are in prime spots to get clobbered and it was only a matter of time.

I hope they can recover.

Probably during the storm surge. Most of that will recede.

I fear that the death toll will be huge.

I pray that I’m wrong.......................

I was wondering about how the coastline would fare. A cat 5 sitting on top of an island for a day was bound to erode the beaches.
Looks like half the landmass is gone.

Oh my goodness.

I have no words. Reminds me of the Tsunami. Praying for humanity to assist however we can.

That was a satellite extrapolation of the current water levels on Grand Bahama Island during the storm surge as Dorian sat just north of the island. The yellow line is the normal coastline, the blue showing the storm surge that swamped most of the island.

Where the coast “used to be” and where it will be again (for the most part) when the storm surge and flood waters recede.
