Dramatic Images Show Hurricane Dorian Destruction
At least 20 people are dead in the Bahamas after the record-breaking storm pounded the islands for days.
Hurricane Dorian has finally moved on from the Bahamas after practically coming to a standstill over the archipelago for days, but the devastation left in its wake could require years of recovery.
The Category 5 storm that hit the Bahamas ― it has weakened considerably since then ― ripped through the Abaco and Grand Bahama islands with wind speeds of up to 185 mph. It killed at least 20 people and upended the lives of thousands of others in a nation known for its resorts, marinas and luxury tourism.
These dramatic aerial photos taken on Thursday show the shocking scale of the destruction.
