In the wake of Hurricane Dorian, there is destruction and despair, and in its path, anxiety and frantic preparation.

For more than a week, the storm has churned through the Atlantic, slamming the Bahamas and thrashing the United States.

The death toll now stands at 43 in the Bahamas. The damage is still incalculable.

In the United States, the storm, now weaker, made landfall on Friday in Cape Hatteras, N.C., after making itself felt, with floods and tornadoes, along the Eastern Seaboard.

In the southeastern United States, at least four people have died while preparing for the storm, according to The Associated Press.
