Yep, I’m alive. Made it to Nassau. #Hurricane #DORIAN: By far the most intense cyclone I’ve witnessed in 28 years of chasing. Thought I was playing it safe by riding it out in a solid-concrete school on a hill in Marsh Harbour. Thought wrong.

Winds pounded the building with the force of a thousand sledgehammers. Crept out during eye to find school mostly destroyed, cars in parking lot thrown around & mutilated. Barometer said 913.4 mb.

Frantically piled into few functioning cars (one of them mine) & relocated to government complex before backside struck. Building filled with terrorized refugees, many who had swam to safety or abandoned collapsed houses. The calm eye saved lives—gave victims chance to relocate.

Whole neighborhoods were swept by mighty surge higher than anything in memory. Areas above water had catastrophic wind damage. Many deaths reported from drowning, flying debris, & collapsing houses. Medical clinic overwhelmed. An absolute catastrophe. SEND HELP TO ABACO ISLANDS.

Like many I’ve been worried sick about Josh. I’m so happy to hear that he is okay. A piece of good news in what can only be described as a heap of castrophe.

Wow, happy to hear Josh is ok. I’ve been a fan of his for quite some time and looking forward to seeing Hurricane Man in the next two weeks. I can’t imagine what he’s witnessed and his story will be one for the ages. Prayers to all that have had their lives destroyed by this storm. It’s certainly one for the history books.
