Just a few short days ago, Hurricane Dorian barreled through the northern Bahamas as a devastating Category 5 hurricane, leaving much of the country underwater, destroying more than 10,000 homes and taking the lives of at least seven people. The hurricane relentlessly pummeled the Bahamas for 48 hours, overturning cars, ripping roofs off houses, hurling debris through the air and submerging homes and businesses. Photos and videos emerging of the complete devastation are shocking to see and difficult to imagine. But the people in the Bahamas are living through what is perhaps their worst nightmare, and there are ways you can help.
