Hurricane Dorian wreaks havoc on Bahamas as 'catastrophic' Category 5 storm

Spread The Viralist



Yachts lie capsized in harbours after hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas on Sunday. It intensified into a dangerous category 5 storm as it approached and pounded the island chain with torrential rain, high waves and damaging winds. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has warned of wind gusts of more than 220mph (355km/h) and a storm surge of up to 23ft (7m), that will cause “extreme destruction” and could continue for “several hours”. Earlier, Samuel Butler from the Royal Bahamas police force said: ‘We have our limitations. When the hurricane is upon us we will not be able to act. The roads will be filled with water … and we will not be able to get to you.”
