Thousands.  8888crybaby

And sadly, many probably were swept out to sea, never to be found.

I think so too.  Reports of at least 2 shelters that flooded. I could be mistaken but I thought that there was a news report that people living in Abaco Island were evacuating to shelters in the Grand Bahama -- which got absolutely pummeled.

The only thing that may have helped is if the Brits would have sent in several ocean liners and tankers and evacuated these people days ahead of time; displaced but alive.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

There is a low lying area on Great Abaco known as the Mud.  It's a shanty town with lots of Haitian illegals.  It is totally wiped out. 

USCG is in the Abacos doing rescue and evacuation of the injured to Nassau.  We also have an emergency response team there to get the ports operational and other humanitarian groups getting ready to respond.

A very comprehensive report from the UK Mail, with photos, videos and storm track:

And kudos to our Coast Guard for beginning rescue operations.

Much of the Bahamas is low lying.  Highest point is on Cat Island -- 207 feet.

Wiki lists the elevation of Freeport, Bahamas as 30 ft.  They sat just outside of the eye wall for 36 hours of Cat 4 wind and rain.  I don't even want to know if there was a big surge.  Population is 45K (2012), BTW.

Disney will donate over $1M to relief efforts in Bahamas after Dorian
https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/459831-disney-will-donate-over-1-million-to-relief-efforts-in-bahamas

Donate it to that island they own for their cruise ships to port I bet. One of the safest places in the whole region. Lot of crime over there once you leave the tourist areas.

Looks like Port-au-Prince now.

Prayers for the survivors - there's got to be some fatalities in that mess.

First glances remind me when I was a kid, and saw news accounts of Camille in 1969. Gulfport/Biloxi areas.

The pic I saw of The Mud looked like thenwholemof it, which is right on the coast, was 1-2' above sea level. 

There was also a cay off of Grand Bahama that has a fishing village and it's only 5' above sea level.  There was a ferry sent there to evacuate the residents, but 5 men stayed behind to ride it out. I don't think they had a chance.  :(

On the other hand a lost little poodle made it through the storm and showed up at the command and control center today, and someone went door to door on Guana Cay (Abacos) and everyone was accounted for.

Hurricane hero: Woman rescues nearly 100 dogs, taking them into her home during Dorian


A woman in the Bahamas says she has taken in nearly 100 dogs displaced by Hurricane Dorian. Chella Phillips, who runs Voiceless Dogs of Nassau, a small organization aimed at helping stray dogs in the capital city, said she took 97 dogs into her house as the hurricane slammed into the island on Sunday.

Seventy-nine of the dogs were sheltering in her master bedroom, Phillips wrote on Facebook. "It has been insane since last night," she wrote, "poop and piss non stop but at least they are respecting my bed and nobody has dared to jump in."

Hurricane Dorian: Grand Bahama Island was flooded with 20 feet of water
https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2019/9/3/20847484/hurricane-dorian-grand-bahama-island-abacos-how-to-impacts-help-relief

Hurricane Dorian hit Grand Bahama Island as an incredibly powerful Category 5 hurricane on Sunday night with howling 185 mile-per-hour winds. And then, it basically camped on the island. Dorian was moving to the west at just 1 mile per hour, subjecting Grand Bahama to nearly two full days of intense hurricane conditions. Wind gusts blew in excess of 200 mph — which is strong enough to blow a roof off a house. The storm generated 18-to-23 feet of coastal flooding. More than two feet of rain fell.

Look at this video of the storm’s eye over the island for a day (in all, the storm’s eyewall remained over the island for 41 hours — 15 of those hours were at Category 5 intensity). It’s as though an enormous tornado inched its way through at a pace much slower than walking. It’s just now, Tuesday afternoon, that the storm’s reach is beginning to clear the island.

Satellite photo showing Grand Bahama Island before and after Hurricane Dorian made landfall. In the after photo (bottom), note the yellow lines that mark where the land was before the storm flooded the area.

Florida having been save from the ravages of Dorian (much to the dismay of the hurricane hypers) the weather hucksters have shifted their focus of doom and gloom to the Carolina's.

I've been watching the cams in Florida and just 24 hours ago this beach was pristine and "normal".  The storm surge is almost covering the entire beach now. According to satellite images, Dorian is right around the area of Daytona right now.   Just think... how much worse it would be if Dorian wasn't still that far from land.  Yikes.

Read that there is a fundraiser page for her -- a GoFudMe or something -- So far it's raised over $193,000.

I believe she has taken in strays before.  It's something she has been doing on her own -- not as part of a rescue organization.
