Hurricane Dorian Horror…Stench, sight of dead bodies linger in mind of first-time mom

Twenty-nine-year-old dental student Brittney Dorsett wrestles by the second with painful flashbacks of four days of hurricane horror on the island of Abaco in north eastern Bahamas.
For half of those days, she clung to her one-year-old son as they, along with three other family members, huddled under two mattresses in a hot, dark closet of her aunt’s apartment, seeking refuge from a fierce fight with nature packing winds of 145 miles per hour and pushing punishing surges across the tiny Caribbean island.
The powerful Hurricane Dorian was merciless to The Bahamas.
"It was devastating,” Dorsett recalled.
She was just about to take a shower on Friday at the home of relatives in Nassau, when The Sunday Gleaner caught up with her by telephone.
