The death toll from Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas rises to 20 with officials predicting more fatalities.
The number of lives lost to Hurricane Dorian is rising and it's easy to see why.
The Bahamian prime minister said his country had been"at war" with this category 5 hurricane. That was no exaggeration.The Marsh Harbour marina was one of the worst affected areas. There are no boats in the water anymore. Small ones were no match for this monster - even large vessels were rendered flimsy in the face of gusts exceeding 200 miles per hour. Several are strewn across roads well inland.
"My other family is still in Marsh Harbour and we need to get them out. The hurricane was totally terrifying. My family here almost drowned."She says there were only a couple of inches left until the water hit the ceiling of their home.
