Dorian has pretty well levelled much of the northern Bahamas.
The equal stronget storm, but also the most destructive in those terms since it was very slow moving and stalled on top of the Bahamas for a day.
The Bahamas is going to find it very difficult to recover from this.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-us-un-bahamas “We are in the midst of a historic tragedy,” said the Bahamian prime minister, Hubert Minnis. “The devastation is unprecedented and extensive.” The dimensions of the humanitarian disaster began to emerge after the slow-moving storm, which took about 36 hours to cross the five-mile-wide Grand Bahama, finally left the country on Tuesday afternoon. The storm hit Abaco island on Sunday as a category 5 hurricane with wind gusts of up to 220mph – making it the strongest Atlantic storm ever to make landfall, tied with the Labor Day hurricane of 1935. In a country accustomed to harrowing encounters with fierce storms, Dorian registered as a disaster on another scale. |
