Surviving Dorian

For 36 hours, Marsh Harbour was the worst place in the world for a living being, with the possible exception of an exploding volcano.

On Sept. 1, Hurricane Dorian made landfall in the Abacos Islands of the Bahamas with Category 5 force. For 36 hours, Marsh Harbour was the worst place in the world for a living being, with the possible exception of an exploding volcano. The death toll for the Abacos and Grand Bahama island, where Dorian hit next, was expected to be more than 1,000, with 70,000 homes and buildings destroyed.

Astoundingly, a handful of cruisers remained in the Abacos, suffering through a 20-foot storm surge, which you may recall from the blog he has shared with readers over the years.
