Anyone else having a hard time knowing the Bahamian people are being tortured by Hurricane Dorian?

I’ve posted about it multiple times on Facebook.

Over 24 hours in the eye wall for some of the people there. It’s torture. I’ve been in cat 3 eye walls and eyes. It sounds like things are coming apart even when your house is staying together. Things banging around outside, the air rushing through the roof.

People always describe the Cat 4 and 5 as sounding like freight trains at the worst.

I saw a clip on TV of a woman talking who was on the other side of the eye, and she had video of her flooded house. Ocean water up to her second floor, ocean all around her house. The ocean was covering the tall palm trees except for the very tops.

She said if the house starts to come apart they will put on life vests and tie themselves together. It was her, her husband, two children, and a friend. Terrifying. High tide I think was about 5 hours away. They didn’t say that, but I heard it an hour later on some other report, but also the storm is a cat 4 now rather than a 5. She said some neighbors stayed on the island also.

The news is talking a lot about Florida, but I’m more interested in how the Bahamas is doing.
