MARSH HARBOUR, Bahamas - Before I flew into Marsh Harbour to take pictures of Hurricane Dorian for Reuters I spoke to my cousin, a fire and rescue worker in the Bahamas, who gave me a mystifying piece of advice just before he hung up: Make sure you take some rope.

Water from the driving rain began pouring in around the door frame and through the slats in the bathroom window. I hid in a corner, so that if the door was blown off its hinges it would not hit me. All the palm trees were gone and the sea had gone from being 100 feet away from the hotel to 15 feet away. You couldn’t even see the marina because it was under water.In the lobby of my hotel, I bumped into my friend Michelle, a fitness and dance instructor who lived nearby. She had swum to the hotel to seek shelter with her small rescue dog Coco, a poodle terrier mix who seemed unperturbed by the hurricane.

On the side of my room facing the sea was a balcony protected by an incredibly strong, hurricane-proof material, but it started to come loose.There were rocks and debris flying around and without that material to protect us, we could very easily have been killed. An area nearby called “The Mudd,” ramshackle, clapboard homes had been completely flattened. The smell of death hung in the air.
