Weakening slightly but still packing a powerful punch,
Hurricane Dorian churned along the southeastern coast of the
United States on Tuesday as the storm's death toll in the Bahamas rose to seven.
Bahamas Prime Minister Hubert Minnis termed Dorian "one of the greatest national crises in our country's history," announcing the updated toll and saying that it would likely rise further.
As the storm moved away from the Bahamas, more accounts of the suffering it inflicted began to emerge.
