In a separate article, Brian Resnick also provides more in-depth coverage and initial images of the destruction. The complete scope of the destruction is still unknown, but the estimates are distressing. Bahamas Prime Minister Hubert Minnis is quoted in the article summing up the situation bluntly: "We are in the midst of a historic tragedy."
The article includes additional images from the Bahamas to illustrate the scope of the destruction. Images include aerial photos of decimated neighborhoods as well as dispatches from the human activity of recovery in the aftermath of the storm.
