Hurricane Dorian: Husband Helplessly Watched Wife Drown in Floodwaters
Howard Armstrong escaped his home in the Bahamas with only the clothes on his back as Hurricane Dorian battered the area. He recalled the moments he lost everything in the dangerous floodwaters, including his wife, who drowned right before his eyes.
“We were doing all right until the water kept coming up, and all the appliances were going around the house, like the washer machine,” he told CNN. “And then I kept with her, and she just drowned on me. She was gone so quickly.” All known deaths have occurred on the Abaco islands near Grand Bahama and officials fear the death toll could rise, CNN reported. Among the dead is an 8-year-old boy who likely drowned as his family fled the storm over the weekend. Bahamian Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said on Twitter that the U.S. Coast Guard has begun rescue operations in Abaco and those injured will be taken to New Providence.
Story continuesThe storm only began moving out of the Bahamas on Tuesday. It had stalled because winds in the upper atmosphere were too calm, the Associated Press reported.The National Hurricane Center announced on Tuesday that Dorian will slowly move north, close to the Florida east coast through Wednesday, and pass near the Georgia and South Carolina coasts Wednesday night and Thursday before going “near or over” the North Carolina coast on Thursday.
