El huracán Dorian finalmente ha reducido su furia y ahora es categoría 2 a punto de tocar la Florida, en Estados Unidos.
Carros sumergidos en el agua en Freeport
Llegó a ser categoría 5 y se convirtió en el más fuerte que golpea el archipiélago de las Bahamas desde que se tienen registros.
Así quedó el Marsh Harbour Airport
En las Bahamas, donde se mantuvo estacionado varios días, dejó un saldo de al menos siete muertos, millonarias pérdidas materiales y unas 60 mil personas con necesidad de ayuda humanitaria, es decir, muchas personas lo perdieron todo.
Se estima que unas 13 mil casas quedaron dañadas o fueron destruidas.

Los isleños que no salieron lastimados y que pudieron resguardarse, ya pueden salir de sus casas, hoteles o refugios, pero el panorama es desolador para todos, como se muestra en las imágenes que presentamos en esta nota.
De acuerdo al Centro Nacional de Huracanes (NHC), con sede en Miami, al tocar Dorian tierra firme, se convirtió en el huracán más potente del Atlántico desde 1935.
