I've been watching a lot of clips, I'm surprised that the death toll is only 5. I think it will... Shell_Seas Sep 2019 #2

She was refusing to evacuate.

She's probably dead now.

This is a topographic map of Grand Bahama island.

Green: 0-15 ft
Yellow: 15-30 ft
Red: 30+ ft

Dorian's storm surge is estimated at 18-23 ft, which would submerge everything in green and significant parts of the yellow. Hopefully most people managed to move to safe locations.
