Nassau – In a slow, relentless advance, a catastrophic Hurricane Dorian kept pounding at the northern Bahamas early Monday, as one of the strongest Atlantic storms ever recorded left wrecked homes, shredded roofs, tumbled cars and toppled power poles in its wake.

The storm’s top sustained winds decreased slightly to 165 mph (265 kph) as its westward movement slowed, crawling along Grand Bahama Island Monday morning at 1 mph (1.6 kph) in what forecasters said would be a daylong assault.

Earlier, Dorian churned over Abaco Island with battering winds and surf during Sunday. (AP)
