In full flood
Through the wind and rain of Hurricane Dorian, volunteers
walk a flooded road in Freeport, on the island of Grand Bahama,
after rescuing several families that arrived in the area on small
boats on Sept. 3. The storm tore through the Bahamas as
a Category 5 hurricane at the end of Labor Day weekend—
only the second of that intensity to make landfall there since
1983—and reached record sustained wind speeds at its peak,
leaving several dead and thousands of homes destroyed.
