4 September 2019 (CBS News) – As Hurricane Dorian accelerates up the Florida coast, the magnitude of the storm’s destruction in the Bahamas is coming into view. Parts of the island nation are in ruins. Much of Grand Bahama Island is underwater.

Two more deaths were confirmed overnight, bringing the official total now to seven. The country’s prime minister said he expects that number to rise.

The extent of Dorian’s destruction across the Northern Bahamas is immense. As seen from the air over Abaco Island, the damage stretches for miles.

Entire neighborhoods are flattened, homes shredded, shipping containers and boats hurled inland. Some airports now look more like lakes. The terminal of one airport is now shrouded in debris. “We are in the midst of one of the greatest national crises in our country’s history,” said Prime Minister Hubert Minis. “It is going to require a massive coordinated effort to rebuild.”

1. About the only thing worse would be covered in molten lava.

The disaster we live with every day in the United States is more subtle and potentially more dangerous than any hurricane or volcano.
