Description

Hurricane Dorian is a heartbreaking tale for The Bahamas.

It was one of the strongest North Atlantic hurricanes and the strongest Bahamian hurricane and caused about $3.4 billion in damages to the Bahamian economy.

Hurricane Dorian struck Abaco and Grand Bahama with wind speeds of 185 mph and had the highest wind speeds for a North Atlantic landfalling hurricane.

The storm caused the death of 74 people in The Bahamas.

In addition, more than 75 percent of all homes on Abaco were either damaged or destroyed.

In East End, Grand Bahama, satellite data suggested that 76 to 100 percent of the buildings were destroyed.

This book includes the meteorological history, records broken, compelling personal recollections, its impact on each island affected, a chapter on climate change and its effects on hurricanes, the benefits of hurricanes, and why we need them on planet Earth.

This book is a must-read!
