Hurricane Dorian battered the Bahamas last week, obliterating houses and knocking out power. Dozens of people were killed, and tens of thousands were left homeless.

When it made landfall in the Bahamas on September 1, Dorian was a Category 5 hurricane with winds of 180 mph. That made it the strongest storm on record to hit the islands.

After tearing through the Bahamas, Dorian made its way up the Atlantic coast of the United States and Canada.

Homes are in ruins one week after Dorian hit Marsh Harbour.
