Over 70,000 people in the Bahamas were left without homes because of the hurricane.
The hurricane stood still over the Bahamas for over 24 hours
The total number dead will probably never be exact because many were carried away by the current and will most likely never be found.
Dorian is the strongest hurricane to hit the bahamas and one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record.
The storm surges caused by the hurricane were between 12 and 18 feet above the normal tide level, being described as “extremely dangerous”
The death toll has risen to above 50 and it is expected to rise, there are 1300 missing and more than 70,000 people need life saving assistance.
