The Prime Minister of the Bahamas, Hubert Minnis, lamented the devastation caused by hurricane Dorian, a category 5 monster that began hitting this Sunday the northwest parts of the Bahamas.

Hurricane Dorian tore across the Bahamas on Sunday as a historically powerful category 5 hurricane, officials said, leaving scenes of devastation in its path.

Minnis said there are parts of Great Abaco Island where “you can’t tell the difference at the beginning of the street or the place where the ocean begins.”

Several videos that circulate on social networks show houses that have roof missing, there are effects on public service lines and cars overturned by the powerful category 5 hurricane.

Dorian made landfall this Sunday at 12:40 p.m. Eastern Time on Elbow Cay, and at around 5 p.m., the eye of the storm was located on Great Abaco Island to continue its movement tonight and Monday towards Grand Bahamas.

As confirmed by the National Hurricane Center, based in Miami, Hurricane Dorian struck parts of the Bahamas with almost unprecedented force. Its 185 mph winds makes it the second strongest storm in the Atlantic Ocean since 1950.
