In Bahamas, Officials Assess 'Generational Devastation' From Hurricane Dorian
Some areas of the Bahamas are still only reachable by helicopter or small watercraft, like jet skis. The official death toll is 20, but it's expected to rise as search efforts continue.
The scope of the calamity Hurricane Dorian brought to the Bahamas is becoming clear, as rescue workers reach devastated sections of the island chain. The official death toll now stands at 20, but that number is expected to rise sharply in the coming days.
Dorian is now a Category 2, lashing the southeastern coastline of the United States. It remains dangerous, despite being diminished from the Category 5 it carried into the Bahamas.
