Video: Hurricane Irene hits Nassau Bahamas

Footage shot by our crews in downtown Nassau in the Bahamas as the center of Hurricane Irene passed off shore to the east.

The video is seven minutes long and is from the heart of Nassau as the area was hit hard by Hurricane Irene. The footage shows several buildings were damaged or destroyed as the wind was whipping the island. There is footage along the coast as the waves were smashing up against the sea wall. At one point in the video a buoy broke lose and is smashing up against a sea wall in a harbor. Through the high winds, the sounds of alarms can be heard in the background.
