From AccuWeather … Aerial footage from Bahamas storm zone 

A clearer picture of the devastation wrought in the Bahamas by Hurricane Dorian emerged on Tuesday. Jonathan Petramala of AccuWeather flew over the town of Marsh Harbour in the Abaco Islands - one of the first places blasted by the powerful storm on Sunday when it was a Category 5 hurricane with 185-mph sustained winds and gusts up to 225 mph - and recorded this aerial footage.

The National Hurricane Center's 5 a.m. EDT advisory particularly underscored the danger of storm surge in the affected areas. Read the advisory.
