Meanwhile, the prime minister, Hubert Minnis, described the hurricane as a "historic tragedy in parts of our northern Bahamas." Dorian has been downgraded to a category 3 hurricane earlier today; however, Bahamas will still face winds at 120mph speed. Dorian Triggers Massive Flooding in Bahamas; at Least 5 Dead.

It is Scary
So my wife says, “Look at those waves!”
“Yeah and it’s the second floor,” I say.
It doesn’t quite register and she says, “No, look at all that water!”
“It’s the second floor!”
“Oh fuck.”
