#OTD 3 years ago, #HurricaneDORIAN earned its place in history when it smashed into #AbacoIsland in the #Bahamas with winds of up to 185 mph.
The storm then stalled over neighboring #GrandBahama , subjecting some locations to Category 5 winds for 24 hours straight.
Our country went to war with a monster storm one year ago.
Thousands of lives were changed forever.
Here's to rebuilding a stronger Abaco and Grand Bahama and never forgetting those we lost.

Lighting isn't supposed to happen in hurricanes at all, because it comes from friction in vertical winds, not horizontal.
But there it is in #HurricaneIsaias just like in #HurricaneDorian .
I think this is assistance +++ and that these hurricanes could have been much worse.
Deeply honoured to receive this from the G3 team of the #MightyMaroonMachine of 5th Canadian Division.
From #HurricaneDorian to #Snowmageddon to COVID-19 and all it’s challenges - it’s been a hell of a grind. I’m blessed to have had such talented and exceptional teammates.

Three years ago #HurricaneDorian struck The Bahamas. The strongest recorded storm ever here. 185mph sustained winds. ~25 storm surge. Tornadoes. Countless lives lost & communities impacted. May the memories of those lost be a blessing & the Bahamian people’s spirit be honored 🇧🇸

'It's like a flying laboratory.'
Three years ago when #HurricaneDorian hit the Bahamas, meteorologist Ian Oliver was working in Florida and got a chance to fly with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters as they flew into the eye wall of Dorian.
Here's a look back at Ian's experience.
One year ago, #HurricaneDorian devastated communities in the Bahamas affecting thousands of families.
Red Cross volunteers were there, and they are still there ❤️
