Hurricane Dorian Response By USCG

US Coast Guard Helicopters are beginning to respond to the disaster area in the Bahamas where Hurricane Dorian has caused horrific damage for so many days....Category 5 Level Winds, tremendous storm surge, and just plain utter devastation.

The Bahamas shall need immediate outside support as there is scant infrastructure there to respond and minimal assets and resources.

Keep and eye on the news as damage assessments begin to be published when it is safe finally for people to begin to determine the true extent of the damage.

It Is so typical in these natural disasters that it is helicopter crews are among the very first to arrive and begin the rescue and relief efforts.

Hand Salute to the US Coast Guard and its helicopter crews for their very early response!

Some video from the area taken during the storm. As the Eye of the storm passes over there is dead calm and sometimes sunshine before the approaching eye wall arrives with more devastating winds.

The trouble with this storm....the strongest in modern history...is it is moving very slowly and for a period of time was stationary.



American's spared damage by Dorian are coming together to help their neighbors in the Bahamas.
