'People are shooting each other for food and water': Bahamas Hurricane Dorian death toll will be...

The Bahamas have a murder rate on par with South Africa or Brazil. About six times greater than the USA.

Their hold on the rule of law is very slim. It is totally imposed top-down.

We will get incredible stories of savagery as news starts leaking out.

In the U.S., with heavily armed neighborhoods, when government breaks down, neighborhood militias spontaneously form in a day, preserving order and a rough rule of law.

The death toll from devastating Hurricane Dorian will be 'staggering' with thousands still missing, officials have warned amid reports looters are 'trying to shoot people' in the scramble for food and water.

Up to 70,000 are in need of 'life-saving assistance' while Great Abaco is said to be virtually uninhabitable, with bodies piled up and witnesses say there is a 'smell of death' with corpses floating in the water.

While the official death toll stands at 30, that number is expected to rise today and hundreds of body bags have been ordered along with extra freezers.

A massive international relief effort was ramped up today as survivors revealed horrifying details of the 'apocalyptic' aftermath of the 185mph, Category-5 storm.

One of them, Alicia Cooke, broke down in tears as she revealed: 'Everything is gone, people are starting to panic. Pillaging, looting, trying to shoot people for food and water. It's just no way everyone's going to get out.'

They have guns in the former Colony?

What do you want to bet that guns were one of the few things people made sure not to lose during the storm (and I don't blame them).

I didn't realize that.

I knew he had a spread there, but I did not know he was there for Dorian.

Oh gosh how sad. Amazing how people act sometimes. But if your family is desperate....

Sean Connery says he was ‘lucky’ to survive Dorian in Bahamas


He was shaken, not stirred.

Sean Connery said he was “lucky” to have escaped Hurricane Dorian’s fury after it ravaged the Bahamas, where the former Bond star rode through the storm with his wife Micheline in their home on the island of Providence, according to a report.

“We are both fine,” the former 007 told the Scottish Daily Mail.

“We were lucky compared to many others and the damage here was not great. We had been prepared for the storm, everything was ready in advance – we weren’t taking any chances and knew what to do,” added Connery, who celebrated his 89th birthday on the island Sunday.
