Dorian strikes major blow at Marsh Harbour and Grand Bahama airports

|

Hurricane Dorian has inflicted major damage on commercial airports in the Abacos and Grand Bahama Island.

The Bahamas government said Marsh Harbour's Leonard Thompson Airport, the second-busiest in the Bahamas, was "severely damaged" when Dorian pushed through the area over the weekend as a Category 5 hurricane. 

Grand Bahama International Airport in Freeport, meanwhile, was "devastated" by the storm, according to CNN. A report by the news network Wednesday showed the airport's domestic terminal with walls smashed and the floor covered with debris. 

"Small airplanes laid broken and twisted, almost unrecognizable, after being thrown around by Hurricane Dorian's winds and floodwaters," the network reported.

Both airports remain closed.
