Hurricane Dorian leaves Bahamas unliveable as locals await evacuation

The scope of the disaster Hurricane Dorian brought to the Bahamas is becoming more clear as rescue workers reach devastated parts of the country. 

People wait in Marsh Harbour Port to be evacuated to Nassau.

Carrying possessions in duffel bags and shopping carts, hundreds of desperate storm victims gathered at the port in Grand Abaco in hopes of getting off the hurricane-devastated island, amid signs of rising frustration over the pace of the disaster-relief effort.

"It's chaos here," Gee Rolle, a 44-year-old construction worker said as he waited with his wife for a boat that could take them to the capital, Nassau. 

"The Government is trying their best, but at the same time, I don't think they're doing a good enough job to evacuate the people. It ain't liveable for nobody. Only animals can live here."

The Bahamian Health Ministry said helicopters and boats were on the way, but officials warned of delays because of severe flooding.
