Wayne Neely’s 15th book, “Hurricane Dorian – The Story of the Greatest and Deadliest Hurricane to Impact The Bahamas in the Modern Era”, tells the heartbreaking tale for The Bahamas – particularly the islands of Grand Bahama and Abaco – islands that were devasted by the September 2019 storm that caused approximately $3.4 billion in damages to the economy and in which 74 people are recorded as having died.
“Hurricane Dorian: The Story of the Greatest and Deadliest Hurricane to Impact The Bahamas in the Modern Era” tells the story of one of the strongest North Atlantic hurricanes and the strongest Bahamian hurricane with wind speeds of 185 miles per hour – the highest wind speeds for a North Atlantic landfalling hurricane.
In addition, more than 75 percent of all homes on Abaco were either damaged or destroyed.
