Aerial photos have revealed the devastating impact Hurricane Joaquin has had on the Bahamas and in South Carolina.

The record-breaking torrential downpours have subsided, but the flooding has produced a stark warning from politicians that thousands of people are still in danger.

Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin said: ‘I believe that things will get worse before they get better’, while South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley warned: ‘This is not over’.

South Carolina was hit harder than any other state after their worst rain storm in 1,000 years – leaving 11 people dead and thousands homeless. More deaths may still be reported as well with officials going door to door in order to check on residents.

Over 20 inches fell in parts of the state on Sunday, which resulted in coffins rising from the ground at one cemetery in the state.

In the Bahamas, the storm’s 100-plus mph winds blew the roof off homes – leaving parts of Crooked Island, Acklins and Long Island underwater.
The lack of clean drinking water on the islands has the left the government of the archipelagos working around the clock to get crews on the ground.
