Gripping storm videos flooded social media sites Sunday as Hurricane Dorian slammed into the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas with “life-threatening” 220-mph wind gusts and storm surges of up to 23 feet.

“Please pray for us,” one woman can be heard begging in one video posted to Reddit. “Please pray for us, everyone. Me and my baby, everyone that stayed in the apartment building — we’re stuck right here.”

“The apartment building that we stay in, the whole roof came off,” she cries. “My baby’s only 4 months old.”

The videos surfaced as Dorian struck the archipelago around 12:40 p.m. as a Category 5 hurricane with sustained winds of 185 mph and gusts up to 220 mph — making it the second-most powerful Atlantic storm in history after 1980’s Hurricane Allen.

A video on Twitter shows a home ripped open by high winds, with the message: “I need your prayers were stuck.”

One Instagram video, shot from a second-floor balcony, shows an entire street underwater as whipping winds slam trees and buildings. A second Instagram clip, which appears to be shot from ground level, depicts a similar scene, with cars submerged and debris washed down the flooded street.

“I know that was gonna happen,” one woman is heard saying on another video titled “Haitian shanty Town ‘the Mudd’ in Abaco,” which shows flooded homes and cars as the storm moved in. “Turn around. They can’t stay there for a couple of days. Oh my God, it ain’t even reach yet.”

In another video, shot from a passing car, the vehicle slows down and the passenger rolls down his window to get a better look at the Rubis gas station canopy in Abaco on the verge of being ripped from its moorings by strong winds — although they drive with the canopy intact.

Forecasters said the storm is now expected to weaken and head north before striking the Florida coastline, traveling just offshore and dumping up to 15 inches of rain in the Carolinas — although they caution that Dorian remains somewhat unpredictable.
