Information began emerging from other affected islands, with Bahamas Power and Light spokesman Quincy Parker telling ZNS radio station that there was a total blackout in New Providence, the archipelago's most populous island. He also said the company's office in Abaco island was flattened by the storm.
"It's devastating," Joy Jibrilu, director general of the Bahamas' Ministry of Tourism and Aviation, said Sunday afternoon. "There has been huge damage to property and infrastructure. Luckily, no loss of life reported." An advisory from the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami warned that Florida's east-central coast could see a brief tornado sometime Monday afternoon or evening.
Dorian first came ashore Sunday at Elbow Cay in Abaco Island, then made a second landfall near Marsh Harbour. A storm surge was reported at 5.5 to 7 metres. On Tuesday and Wednesday, Dorian is forecast to be 64 to 80km off Florida, with hurricane-force wind speeds extending about 56km to the west.
