Homes in the Bahamas are built to withstand 150 mph winds and many hurricanes have hit the island country in the past. But last night, Hurricane Dorian made landfall with winds of 185 mph and gusts of more than 220 mph and many homes could not hold up.
Hurricane Dorian continues to violently batter the islands throughout today. In a press conference, the Bahamian Prime Minister tearfully said, "You cannot tell the difference as to the beginning of the street, versus where the ocean begins."
Here's what we know so far about the catastrophic conditions in the Bahamas.
By tomorrow, Dorian may have reached the East Coast of the United States and experts are undecided as to where it will make landfall - and whether it will still be a category 5. So please, if you are on the East Coast, follow the suggestions at the end of today's article and GET READY.
