Hurricane Dorian photos illustrate havoc and destruction in the Bahamas
For almost over a week, all eyes have been focused on the Bahamas, and rightly so.
Dorian, a Category 5 hurricane when it made contact with the islands, has caused a staggering amount of suffering and devastation.
The slow-moving nature of Dorian allowed the tropical cyclone to inflict catastrophic damage as it crept over the northern Bahamas and eventually stalled directly on top of Grand Bahama Island for 24 hours on Monday.
