Hurricane Dorian caused significant damage in The Bahamas, having made landfall there as a category 5 hurricane with maximum sustained winds that reached 185 miles (298 km) per hour and gusts that reached 200 miles (322 km) per hour. The storm stalled for almost two days over the islands, dropping about 22.8 inches (57.9 cm) of rain, which flooded more than 75 percent of homes on Great Abaco. Both the Abacos and Grand Bahama Island suffered damage to essential infrastructure and ecosystems, and more than 29,000 people were left homeless.
