The radar footage is unreal... you can see Dorian at Cat 5 with the edge of its eye cutting a slow buzzsaw across, then just sitting on top of the island for over a day. Anything that was on the east half of the island has to be erased now.
“The radar footage is unreal...”
Yes, but the video shows cause for some hope. I also expected to see nothing but bare ground after 24 hours of grinding Cat 5 winds and 25 foot storm surges, but there are more buildings standing than I would have thought. It seems the shantytowns were washed away, but a lot of the infrastructure and larger businesses are still there.
I like the few Bahamians I’ve met, and the PM seems to be a lot more capable than the Gov of PR and the mayor of San Juan, so they will get a couple of bucks from me.
