In a separate article, Brian Resnick also provides more in-depth coverage and initial images of the destruction.

The article includes additional images from the Bahamas to illustrate the scope of the destruction. Images include aerial photos of decimated neighborhoods as well as dispatches from the human activity of recovery in the aftermath of the storm.
