After leaving at least 43 people dead and more than 70,000 people displaced in the Bahamas, Dorian hit Canada’s Atlantic coast on September 7. By now it had been reclassified into a “very intense-post-tropical storm” from a category 5 hurricane when it had ripped into the Bahamas, Reuters reported.
