Yeah... they have better building standards than the US. Most of their structures are poured in place concrete or CMU instead of the weak dimensional lumber that most US houses are made of.
They also have to have metal bindings holding the roofs on -- at least for those who can afford it. They've seen more than a few hurricanes.

Hearing on the twitters Dorian may be weakening big time. Will the weather channel report it or hype possibilities?

Can you imagine the wind noise for that long? I'd be deaf when it was over.

I was in Freeport, Grand Bahama in Feb. They haven't really bounced back from the last one (Irma?). The number of damaged and destroyed hotels was staggering. I've been to Abaco as well and it's heartbreaking imagining what those people are going through. It is beautiful place.
