'It's just shredded. It looks like a bomb went out,' As morning broke in the Bahamas, residents who rode out Hurricane Dorian described buzz-saw-like winds that splintered homes, flooded streets and left them terrified for their lives.
As morning broke in the Bahamas on Monday, residents who rode out Hurricane Dorian described buzz-saw-like winds that splintered homes, flooded streets and left them terrified for their lives.
Dorian remained a massive Category 5 hurricane Monday morning with sustained winds of 165 mph as it continued to pummel the Bahamas in the Atlantic Ocean. ABC News correspondent Marcus Moore said he and his news crew hunkered down in a hotel in the Abaco Islands and that by Monday morning, the hotel appeared to be the only structure still standing in the immediate area.
Kim Mullins, a resident of Grand Bahama Island, told"GMA" she lived through Hurricane Floyd in 1999, Hurricane Frances and Jeanne in 2004, Hurricane Wilma in 2005, Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Hurricane Irma in 2017. But she said she realizes Hurricane Dorian is the most menacing beast yet.
