Oddly enough Irma really didn’t do a crazy amount of damage, so hopefully this one goes the same way.

Except for in certain Carribean islands, where parts were totally wiped off the map. I remember Dominica (I think) for example being completely isolated for a few days, until slowly some radio amateurs managed to contact the outside world and tell that there were no trees or houses left standing. Those northern islands of the Bahamas are going to look like an absolute wasteland when Dorian has passed, it's as good as flat so the wind can do whatever it 'wants' and with sustained winds going ever nearer to 200 MPH (yes, it's still intensifying...that's insanely scary) there's not much that can withstand that, certainly no trees or regular buildings.

 

I fear for the lives of people who have been posting some videos to social media from their house in those areas..

Interesting 'chaser' to follow, he's right where the eyewall is about to hit.

Major floods rushing through the streets already and it is far from over for the Bahamas. In fact, the whole thing is still gaining strength, which is just insane.

No way that tweet is actually from now and/or Florida, since the hurricane isn't really there yet  

[bestmen 2,567]

yeah the hurricane is coming let's go to Disney

First video of the damage on Abaco, it's very bad. And what's worse: one can wonder if the people walking around realize that the worst part of the hurricane is still to come! It's just the eye that's passing, during which the weather is pretty calm, but when the other side of the wall comes through...you do not want to be outside anymore..
