2. This thing is right out of a horror movie

Stephen King could have concocted it.

10. horror indeed

what's left of a shopping centre on Great Abaco

a Bahamian woman there said the whole island smells of death

12. Tragically, the death toll is going to grow exponentially

When you look at utter devastation like that scene, and you know there were few safe places for residents to seek shelter from such a powerful storm, the consequences are cataclysmic. Many will have disappeared, washed away, never to be seen again.

3. Watch out!

4. Just heard from WBTW that this is temporary

and is expected to weaken again slightly overnight. At this point whether it's a 2 or a 3 is academic, the effects along the Carolina coastline will be significant...

5. My bro-in-law, wife and family

Live on Daniel Island on the outskirts of Charleston. They are expecting the worst...hoping for a little better than that.

6. I hope they left.

No fun sitting through a tropical storm, never mind a hurricane. Yes, I heard it's going to get rugged there.

I feel for them. I just dodged a big hairy bullet of the same name.

7. They didn't leave.

I really wish they had. My sister in law said they had nowhere to take their 3 rescue Great Danes...they live in a multimillion dollar home...at least they have a second and third floor. Dorian visited you as well?

8. Yes, real close. I live in Melbourne, FL,

lived through 10 days of weather updates and worries. Took all precautions I could, and am happy to report all is well here.

9. Phew. I can't imagine.

I’m really getting tired of winter up here in the north country...moving snow 5+ months a year is hard and yet, I wouldn’t trade it for hurricanes. The stress! So glad to hear you weathered it okay.

11. I'm sort of suprised it went to a Cat 2 and stayed there as long as it did.

No surprise it's back to a Cat 3.
