The most powerful storm to hit the Bahamas since records began has torn off roofs and caused severe flooding.<\/p>\n

According to BBC News, the slow-moving, category five Dorian – the second-strongest Atlantic hurricane on record – is now packing sustained winds of up to 165mph (270km\/h) and may cause a storm surge of up to 23ft (7m).<\/p>\n

There is no official word on casualties but the Red Cross fears some 13,000 homes have been damaged or destroyed.<\/p>\n

The hurricane is moving slowly west, with the eastern US coast at risk.<\/p>\n
