Dorian sustained winds of 185mph and brought sea surges of 25 feet. At one point it moved only 1mph
hurricane is terrifying and dangerous for people in its path. Dorian, which devastated parts of the Bahamas on September 1st-3rd, seemed to take pleasure in its malice. Equal in strength to the worst Atlantic storm to make landfall ever recorded , it struck the Abaco islands and then Grand Bahama with sustained winds of 300kph and brought sea surges of nearly eight metres . It lingered to inflict punishment, slowing down to 1mph near Grand Bahama.
Bahamians largely ignored government warnings to evacuate low-lying areas. The government wants such advice to be mandatory in future storms, but that might not help much. On small islands escape is not easy. Dorian ripped roofs off shelters and flooded the hospital on Grand Bahama.
