DORIAN WREAKS ‘APOCALYPTIC’ DEVASTATION Relief officials reported scenes of utter ruin in parts of the Bahamas and rushed to deal with an unfolding humanitarian crisis in the wake of Hurricane Dorian, the most powerful storm on record ever to hit the islands. At least seven deaths were reported, with the full scope of the disaster still unknown. [AP]

HURRICANE DORIAN STRENGTHENS The devastation wrought by Dorian in the Bahamas came into focus as the passing of the strongest hurricane on record revealed a muddy, debris-strewn landscape of smashed and flooded-out homes on Abaco and Grand Bahama islands. The official death toll jumped to 20, and looks likely to climb. Now a Category 3, Dorian is pushing its way up the U.S. Southeastern coast. [AP]
