MARSH HARBOUR/NASSAU, Bahamas: Days after fleeing their crumbling home and breaking into a vacant apartment to take shelter while Hurricane Dorian rampaged over the Bahamas' Great Abaco Island, Samuel Cornish and his family caught a rescue flight to Nassau.

Dead cats and dogs are strewn throughout the wreckage while some stray animals are digging through the garbage for food and have taken up residence on the porches of destroyed homes. At least one wild pig weathered the storm, celebrating its survival by charging at two Reuters journalists.
Bahamian officials acknowledged on Saturday that Nassau will strain to house all the people that need shelter.

The long-lived storm had made its way to Canada by Sunday, where the US National Hurricane Center said it was a still-powerful post-tropical cyclone with 130 km-per-hour winds. It was forecast to cross western Newfoundland later Sunday.
