- Photographer Tim Aylen took video as he and his family escaped floodwaters that rushed into their home in Freeport, Bahamas. He says the water went from the normal flooding you might see in heavy rains to complete inundation in a matter of minutes. "We had no warning," he says.

Send in a Carnival or Norwegian cruise ship which can evacuate thousands at a time. They make billions off The Bahamas every year.
papa pie the ports are destroyed and full of sand . Cruise ships require wide, deep special berths.
Actually a cruiseship bringing supplies and just sailed out this evening from Palm Beach to one of the impacted areas which is in Freeport.
That is the best idea,,they can ferry the people off shore if the liners cannot make the ports..
I think I watched the news with cruise ships bringing supplies to the Islands
that is 100 % true and it will work they could turn that ship into a hospital and recovery ship easily that is a dam good idea lets pray they do that!
Thanks for all the help and well wishes. It is greatly appreciated! 💯💖
This is heartbreaking. I heard there was a lady who was taking in abandoned dogs caught in the hurricane. Heard she had taken in close to 100 dogs...hope to God there are more people able to do the same kindness for those dogs from your neighborhood. Sending positive energy, comfort and hoping for a positive outcome.
that was in Nassau on another island which only had flooding
“Sending positive energy”. 🙄
Kerryjane Voth Very heartbreaking not only for the humans but also the animals too... 🇧🇸💔😢 If I was caught in a dangerous severe storm such as this I’d for sure rescue myself and my cats.
People, leave them alone and stop the criticism. They all made it out safely. Now is not the time to criticize. Plus, Tim Aylen went BACK out and helped rescue his neighbors.
Just surprised at the lack of realistic planning in this day and age. The surprise that the waters rose during high tides make him seem more a tourist than a resident. Are we really that removed from how nature works? I'm glad they're safe, hopefully I won't be eating my words tomorrow after Dorian passes....if it passes and doesn't hunker down.
Not everyone made it out safely
No, are you kidding? I'm pissed off he didn't help his daughter...he's a douche bag at its finest.
👍💔😥
@@victorchairez8907 All in his family made it out safely. That's what I meant.
Words can't Express what I'm feeling for these peoples safety.
im so sad for these people
Everyone Be careful where you send your donations , I’m already seeing a lot of frauds 😡
Truth
Send all your donations to the Clintons. They know what to do with your money.
Red Cross.
Lisa Miller I Agree 100% A Lot Of Fraudulently People Sad 😢 But True
@@CavangoVulgora LOL!
The things we take for granted, like the sun shining on your face and dry clothes💔
Exactly .. food sleep health sun electricity shops restaurants gas stations ..etc all that become treasure during these disasters i’v lived some and i can assure u that humans are ungrateful
Truth
Rak Chazak Amats ❤❤❤❤
sunshine on dry clean clothes.....
My heart goes out to everyone affected by this awful disaster......my prayers are with you all 😢
😭
@Wanda Roderick Absolutely 😢😢
Wow it,so BAD GOD be with all of you,
Wanda Roderick ,Some people I'm sure we're having a hard enough time concentrating on human life.
FancyTruth, yeah makes me wonder what strategic military plans they have for the Bahamas?
God Bless. This is beyond heart wrenching 💔. Happy this family survived with their fur babies. Praying for everyone. 😥
God is showing us signs that we need to pay more attention to how we treat each other and the planet. Prayers to the Bahamas
John Smith he’s already shown us what a category 5 hurricane can do. Like I said, let this be an example for people to wake up. Climate change is real and if we keep going the direction we are going... these category 3-5 hurricanes will continue to be created back to back as if it was normal. Pay attention to the world and how you treat the life within it. Trees, humans and animals. WAKE UP PERIOD. We can all make a change as long as we stick together. Blèss
@Vicassó Lara - If you believe climate change is real, please start looking into Geo-Engineering. A so called conspiracy theory that has been implemented by Governmental Mad Scientists. Spraying our clear blue sky with chemicals to deflect the Sun’s rays back out of the atmosphere. Supposedly to slow global warming! Turning a clear day into a silvery white overcast day! Jet streams from horizon to horizon turning into clouds is not natural or normal until now! If you think it sounds completely crazy, then start looking up everyday!
It's not God, it's HAARP
@@ibenpishtoff This is the truth what you are saying!
✌🏽❤️
Yeah, and pets are so vulnerable. Saving my cat would be a priority. I love my kitty.
gwg5640 Yes indeed myself and my two cats...
It's more easier to save a dog in flood water because a dog will behave and stay calm. I am not sure how confident a cat will be holding them in neck high water
God bless you and your family and thanks for helping others You're a Good Samaritan God bless you
My friend and colleague, Tim, a brave man.
Brings back the tragic memories when Super Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines last 2013. I was there and experience such devastating tragedy.. I hope and pray that everyone will be alright.
I'm SO GLAD THEY ARE ALL HELPING EACH OTHER. HELP IS COMING YOUR WAY.
This is the downside of PARADISE... horrible for the people who COULD NOT get away! Best wishes to all and you WILL make a strong recovery, we believe in you!
There's NO DOWNSIDE TO PARADISE. THIS IS NATURAL DISASTER. HUMANS HAVE TO STOP INHABITING LANDS THAT ARE NOT MEANT TO INHABITS. MASS MURDERS TAKE MORE LIVES. MAN MADE, HOW ABOUT THAT. THOSE FLAT LAND SURROUNDING BY SEA SHOULDN'T BE ANYONE PERMANENT HOME.
THAT IS JUST DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN.
Voice of REASON Thank you for your kind words!! ❤️ I don’t live there but I feel soooo bad for the people that does. 😥
@@davidcammeron3910 Um wrong. This is a MAN MADE STORM that had NO BEHAVIORS of a NORMAL Hurricane! Standing still for almost 24 hours? Really? Missing RICH areas? But since people like you dont research before they speak...
Oh wait the reporter corrected me PARKED FOR 40 HOURS!
@@tawandadelivereddinkins143 look dude, oh a man send the hurricane? Oh it's African send it to the west . Them just happened to tell it don't attack rich people house that is concrete structure. Attack all the board shanty structure where your African poor brothers and sister call home.
Twanda I got it.
I still say that any land 30ft above sea level is not to call home. No paradise about it. I am done here..... Conspiracy theory about hurricane 😀😁😂
Wow...such devastation. Feel so bad for the people who has lost everything...
Lisa Sharples one mans trash is the another mans treasure for capitalists this is the best thing thing to happen cheap Low property prices cheap homes better money
This is heartbreaking. My heart breaks for these poor people... Will keep all in my prayers.
I am SO glad they are ok. I saw the initial video on VOA or something before I knew he was a journalist and was heartbroken.
Thank you Tim for helping get your neighbors to safety and telling your Bahamas stories. I really hope chain link fence dog made it. 🥺🐶
Wow that guy had a great attitude,.. So tragic ❤️
Imagine what the dog was feeling when he saw people that could've rescue him driving away and leaving him on the fence. I wouldn't be able to do that
That image breaks my heart... I always feel so bad for the animals during times like this because it's always, "people first". I really hate that so many do not see animals as living beings, but just "things". So very sad...
The thought of those helpless animals is making me sick to my stomach! Those poor babies!
No concern for the people?
Royal Caribbean; Carnival; Norwegian cruises... why didn't you guys stay to evacuate as many as possible?... that should become a NATO order to have those ships dock & evacuate.
I feel bad for them.
Ya know that's a dam good idea... they should have done that = Seems like all them cruise ships made THERE way out in PLENTY of TIME
@@tracym1208 they are steered away from the storms, full of passengers to take a new route. 2000+ people aboard those ships. Some had their vacations canceled.
MarloSoBalJr same
with 100 + mph winds you need to seek safety, or risk all
That is a good man.. very few people have the courage to go back into something like this to help people you don’t really know, but it is one of the best feelings in the world!!
Everyone is judging him, but this man saved all those lives!! If he didn’t get the front loader then it’s hard to tell how many life’s would’ve been lost.
People are jerks as they sit comfy behind their phones typing their opinions about these people. Arrogant, entitled, selfish, judgmental, shallow.

God only knows what is moving around under the flood water. Prayer’s Up for the Good People of the Bahama’s.
Thank you for sharing your heart wrenching story. So glad you could go back and help other.
Praying for the people in the Bahamas.
IM SO GLAD HIM AND HIS FAMILY GOT OUT SAFE.
Can't imagine having to leave my dog behind, hearbreaking💔

Theater for views.
Social engineering.
Shameful MEDIA

LAND GRAB
Kerryjane Voth there’s hundreds of stray dogs in Freeport, I drove in my friends car for like 4 miles in Freeport and I saw maybe 30 stray dogs all very skinny so sad and now to think they had to go though a category 5 hurricane for 3 days is terrible
@@floridaboy7410 yes very sad but theres 1 lady in Bahamas who sheltered 97 stray dogs in her house during the storm. u can see online.
Shelters don’t allow them in, so they have to.
I would stay with my pets before ever abandoning them
God be with you all, I'm praying for you all
Amen
Asking God to help Bahamas people through this hurricane we all gonna help y .you are not alone 😍

TKO 12355 😰😢😥😪🐶🐶🐶🐶 I adore animals. I dream of the day when no animal will be abandoned and neglected. When a disaster happen, animal welfare is foremost on my mind. 😺😺😺😺
Faux Manchu yeah for that to happen humans have to become extinct
I am glad to hear the family interviewed made it out of the area, but he mentions dogs left behind and how he wanted to save them, but was not able to do so because of the urgency to save only the people. The newscaster at no point questions if there will be any rescuers for the dogs? I wonder if there will be any type of help for them as well. Very sad all that has happened and I pray other families who’ve not had such help to be rescued too. The dogs...I hope are rescued at some point. 😢
I'm heartbroken. Went there every year since 1991, god please bless everyone there, and many of many freinds we have met..keep them safe..praying for everyone..
So glad you and your family are ok . GODBLESS you all
I can’t understand how “families” leave their pets behind in this horrible scenario, it‘s their responsibility at first; and then I don't understand how people don't rescue them when they see them suffer and struggle, they lives matter too! they’re the most vulnerable beings, they can’t call emergency or anything, they’re at our mercy. PLEASE don’t leave your pets behind, they’re part of the family 💔
Not everyone has first world mentality nor is a SJW . There are many people around that would prefer to save their kids than a kitten .As they see animals as pets . Not as family.
It's a blessing to know that some did get to survive and also having a good person helping out to make sure that there's other people that do survive also.
Where are the mega churches? Where are the rich? This is unacceptable unacceptable! The Joel Olsteen, TD Jakes, Creflo Dollar Etc where are you?
Carole Carole our church has been there before the storm, during the storm, still there now, “the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints “ also known as Mormons. We don’t believe in advertising, but we have already brought tons of help and transportation, but you will never see us at any disasters publicly known. We’re not there for recognition, we’re there to help in silence. We organize all over the world for these things and we’re ALWAYS FIRST RESCUE, ALWAYS, we just ask not to be put in the media. The whole media circuit knows and they are very respectful about it. And all monies come from us within the church only, we NEVER ASK others for money. We have our own. Check us out,
mormon.org is who we are, and lds.org is what we do worldwide
Most of them are watching the TV in the air conditioning waiting on the servants to bring them dinner. Why do you ask? Is there some need for them to be alarmed? Don't forget, most of these frauds leave it to God to fix these things.
Despite that area being battered like this regularly, the luxury houses and private yachts seem to get ever bigger and more numerous year on year
Great reporting. God Bless!
Hold The Bacon well thanks so much. I mean, it is my living for the last 30 years and I would always put my family first but these images are just what I would shoot for the AP the next day of recovery efforts, only of other people had the circumstances been the usual.
Reporting at last. This wasn't bad, for CBC
I'm so glad this guy and his family and all his dogs are ok and safe the video was so overwhelming to watch sufferingof others
Unbelievable! These people have been through a nightmare! After some of the devastation I’ve seen in the Bahamas, it’s a miracle that anyone survived.
God bless TIm, his neighbors, cute dogs and keep them safe, with speedy recovery. I am sorry for all this craziness. We were lucky in Savannah, GA in Dorians path. GOD BLESS THE LOVING AT HEART....
Please do what you can to help guys. I can't even comprehend this terrible event. ❤ Prayers going out to EVERYONE EFFECTED!!
Yes ~God bless you Tim Aylens ❤️may our Lord Jesus Christ bless all the people who are suffering from the aftermath of Hurricane DORIAN winds 185 Miles Per hour, category 5 storm
*Daughter:* _I got both dogs_
*Father:* _I got the camera_
That's how he got the luxury house in the first place and that's how he will fix or replace it, dogs are cheap, middle class people are cold and calculating and determined.
Daughter is the real MVP and deserves medal honestly yea. Father needs a punch in a face...
@@onlywithbuts1781 Come on man do not be too harsh on the man, not only his instinct as a journalist , that's his job to provide for his family. In this situation, through profession he "might" get in trouble for not doing it to capture some real footage(at least from his own conscience)for the world to see and to convince all of us including you watching to help out in any way we can; Damn firefighters doing it all the time by running into a fire for the risk of his life and losing the family's main bread and butter..
Everyone else: I got the RUclips comment section.
So I guess you guys all missed the part where he said His daughter had tow dogs and HE had thier 16 year old dog who's Blind..
Excellent extended version of this story gave the audience the whole picture of this horrific event.
Round about 4.00 min mark. Any ideas what the ufo is in the sky behind him?
yahaffta laff I see that too
Sadly if every single famous person would donate slot of money. That would help each family
The super rich see opportunities in this natural disaster. Time to buy up entire neighborhoods of real estate that have been destroyed and are at rock bottom prices. Trump should build a huge casino resort there using US aid money as leverage in negotiations for help. Never a wrong time to mix politics and personal wealth. Grab it with both hands Donald!
Disastrous. Prayers for all affected. 🙏. God bless our Canadian Global Medic team. So happy Tim, his family and dogs safe! Miracles happen.
Sending prayers to all the families
He stayed for the story.
Also the million dollar photograph ....he is a photo journalist.
this guy didn't evacuate anyway - he had a family! - Then he went to look for dry land?! WTF! He didn't do anything ahead of time - he had no idea where it was higher. Incredible.
Praying for you guys from the Philippines. Be comforted guys. This shall come to pass. God bless you all and comfort you.
I wish I cud go there to help. But financially can't
Factz...
No wonder this channel blocks comments so often. There are so many nut cases with time on their hands and an axe to grind.
@Babylon falling All keyboard warriors with access to google consider themselves to be "informed" as long as they can parrot the customary memes about... anything. Randomly disagreeing with common sense for "shiggles" and thinking it's the same as being more clever than the ordinary person is NOT a sign of superior intellect.
Definitely a scary scary situation to be put into
Prayers for everyone..🙏🙏
I’m glad that he and his family along with their dogs are okay safe and well... My thoughts are certainly with those who have perished animals and humans along with the survivors and those now whom are homeless.... 💔🇧🇸
People first ... poor dogs. Choices are so hard in a crisis, but we can only hope they will be okay, as well as the children and their parents. Prayers for all.
If you have the means to get you and your family out of there before disaster strikes, why wouldn’t you do it? This is a Cat 5!! Not a freaking joke!! Never ever put your family through something like this if you don’t have to!! Very lucky to be alive.
Do hope Bahamas receive the help they need. This is a terrible situation. Will be praying for them.
This is just so sad😭😭😭
I don’t understand where he was planning on goin? In that stage his house is the safest spot, instead of outside in the flood .
Right!! How can you be sleeping when a hurricane is coming most less a 5 at that?? People don’t prepare before a storm anymore .. But then people don’t want to leave their homes.
Isaiah but the water rises to the ceilings and then what! How could you stay in a house like that? What do you do, tread water for 24 hours? I found dry land 75 yards away.
Lisa Miller sheer exhaustion from all the hurricane prep on the house and I was going out shooting storm preparations for AP.
I'm glad to see Florence Henderson get work late in her career.
lol
Funny but she us dead. Isn't she.
Haha! I made a similar remark prior to scrolling down & reading the comments
Can you do another follow up of Tim Aylen in a month just to see how they are doing?
How did they get to safety? I only see them walking through water! They couldn't drive right?
Many prayers and blessings to all who're being affected by this hurricane, God bless*
Hero. MSM in America not showing this. Also, RUclips buried this beneath MSM.
Thank you Tim. My prayers are with you all GOD BLESS you all 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
dont send money through the red cross
Why is that?
Because ..RC spent donated money that was suppose to be for the Haiti earthquake victims
125 million missing donated funds
Lizzy Hurst because a lot of that money goes for overhead costs and paying the higher executives. In general, less than half of donations goes to the intended targets.
Usually local charters or groups tend to use a larger part of the donations for the victims and not on themselves.
They need food water not money. Wth they need the money for?
I am so glad this family and their two dogs are safe......I was worried they may get separated and drown. The water was deep and rough. So scary. Nothing to hang on to.....
In an emergency and he with a video camera...crazy
Yep. They might destroy that tape in near future as something to forget. I cried when I saw her bringing out the puppy dogs. ♥️♥️Both & they barking as I type this.
People need to see things like that. When your govt says evacuate, evacuate.
@@cocofluff his area was considered safe...no one expected the catastrophic flooding that occurred
He's a journalist/photographer...it's in his dna
@@candy2428 There is nowhere 'safe' in the Bahamas when a cat 5 is barrelling at you. I can't believe he was sleeping. Abaco is narrow and basically everywhere is near the shore. Hence his situation.
Sailors of a sailboat said it was expected to be a 60' storm surge, they sailed to Miami just before storm moved in .
I would probably not be alive right now. I would have for jumped off that construction truck if I had been there rescuing people. Told them to just leave me behind and swam off to save those dogs. Not to bash this man for not doing so, he has a family to think about. I do not, just my animals.....
While I understand your thinking, What do you think would have happened to your animals if you had drowned? I'm just saying, If I didn't have my daughter and it was Just me, I probably woulda gone after the dogs too,.
Me too
The gospel song say" Ride out your storm" this is literally what happened here. Thank you Lord for the good Samaritan and for those who survived. I wish the family of the dead gain strength to deal with their loss.
Wow this family pulled together & found saftey. We need more people like him & the dozer operator!
Awesome piece
Happy for this positive glimpse.
Sheesh TIM DON'T SCARE US LIKE THAT! My gosh my heart started racing. So glad you and your family are okay. Your daughter and those furry family members too OF COURSE.
God bless you and stay safe.
Hey Tim the "photographer".. Maybe instead of catching a shave and showboating for the video footage, u could have actually helped you're daughter out and given her a hand. Instead of making her handle both dogs and her stuff..🙄
Seems like you're daughter deserves the credit. ✌
Kevin Kelley well said ! Bravo 👏🏻
She looked pretty distraught while he was filming/recording. At what point do you just put the camera away and help her? 🤦🏻♂️
I was literally screaming this on my screen, absolutely agreed! That girl is a real MVP and should have been the one to do the interview. But i bet she wouldn't cause she's still trying to recover from that shock -_-
Oh God the dogs cats left behind the owners are devastated
Her shirt is BLINDING ME!!!!
How much help coming from Canada, UK, Australia , South Africa, New Zealand? Where is the help for the former Subjects under the crown?
Wow. Great story!
Gorgeous yellow blouse!
Should at least be MANDATORY LIFE VEST FOR ALL LIVING NEAR A COAST.
sandra burke YES!! get that to every home owners near water!
Yes in a hurrican it could save to many people
If someone lives by the coast, cannot swim, and don’t evacuate during a hurricane ... it shouldn’t be mandatory ... they should be smart enough to get one
May God help these people. Here in Houston we had a bad hurricane a couple years ago and it was tough getting back on our feet. It takes years for some people. If you can donate, please do so.
I am sorry for what I said as well as I am happy for the dogs are safe
God Bless.....all of you!!!! You will prevailed!!!!!
Don't understand if you had the resources to not sit it out in a 2 story house? How in this day and age can you NOT consider flooding? Cray, cray.
If you saw some videos there shows water to the windows of some 2 story homes...the water was 25 feet high
Pretty sure he lived in a hurricane zone and familiar with them. It sounds more crazy when you think you can give someone a hurricane advice from the safety of your home.
@@nutzhazel Don't think I gave any advice. Just expressed some wonder...as I sit in the safety of this 2 story house in Charleston SC.
@@jodihouts6032 I was wondering too why all these people choose to live in such a dangerous place like tiny islands. Cheaper real estate price?
@@nutzhazel I have a freind that goes for 6 months out of the year, but he's not allowed to work there. They're pretty strict about protecting the work for locals. I do know the people are pretty awesome and its beautiful. Like I said in a previous post, this guy seems more a tourist than a resident. Just glad they're ok, wish all the people there were ok.
I hope they went back to get the animals left behind.
Boy, if you could get out of there with your family, NEVER go back. Praying for these people. Horrific!
You had no warning? You had days! Thank goodness y'all are safe, but I have to wonder if this man stayed just for the photography and film footage. I come from a coastal area near the gulf and understand the level of knowledge people have in these areas.
"daddy can you put down the camera? im holding 2 dogs and about to drown." ..."wait honey let me get a for shots of you struggling through waist deep hurricane waters'...... priorities
Prayers sent, amen
Positive thoughts to those in the middle of this tragedy...!
