Hurricane Dorian has killed at least five people and destroyed as many as 13,000 homes during its path of destruction through the Bahamas. The catastrophic onslaught sent floodwaters up to the second floors of some buildings, trapped people in attics and led to others fleeing from one shelter to another. Photos have captured just a glimpse of the devastation in the Bahamas. One image shows dozens of capsized boats at a harbor, while video shows stalled cars on flooded roads and completely destroyed homes. The Grand Bahama airport was said to be under 6 feet of water. The exact toll of the devastation in the Bahamas will not be clear until the storm passes and rescue crews can get on the ground. The storm hovered over the islands for almost 24 hours. Bahamas prime minister Hubert Minnis said: 'We are in the midst of a historic tragedy. The devastation is unprecedented and extensive.' 🌪😱

Five people were killed today as looters in South Africa destroyed shops and attacked drivers in a third day of xenophobic rioting. Hordes of people - some armed with axes and machetes - terrorised Johannesburg hours after mobs tore through the township of Alexandra, forcing police to open fire with rubber bullets. Police, who have so far arrested more than 90 people, fanned out across Johannesburg and Pretoria. Many gutted, emptied shops remained closed as shop owners, many of them foreign, feared to return to their property.
