Bahamians rescued victims of Hurricane Dorian with jet skis and a bulldozer as the U.S. Coast Guard, Britain's Royal Navy and a handful of aid groups tried to get food and medicine to survivors and take the most desperate people to safety.
People on the U.S. coast made final preparations for a storm with winds at a still-dangerous 105 mph , making it a Category 2 storm. The storm's punishing winds and muddy brown floodwaters destroyed or severely damaged thousands of homes, crippled hospitals and trapped people in attics. She said her representative on Abaco told her there were"a lot more dead," though she had no numbers as bodies were being gathered.
