Fisherman Howard Armstrong told how he and his wife Lynn were sheltering in their home in Freeport, Grand Bahama, when the floodwaters came. He described how a 21ft wall of water struck their home, leaving the couple stranded inside with the water rising. He spotted his fishing boat miraculously still tied to its mooring — despite the storm capsizing other vessels and hurling them inland — and swam to it. Howard said he'd lived in Freeport for 58 years and had "battled many a hurricane," but had never seen flooding like this. Hurricane Dorian bulldozed the Bahamas, killing at least seven people — with that grim body count expected to rise. The storm's punishing winds and muddy brown floodwaters destroyed or severely damaged thousands of homes, crippled hospitals and trapped people in attics.

A turncoat Norwegian monk named Naddod had been big medicine on the dragon-and-blight circuit for the last decade or so, and was known to bring heavy ordnance for whoever could lay out some silver. Now bitter winds were screaming in from the west, searing the land and ripping the grass from the soil. Salmon were turning up spattered with sores, and grasshoppers clung to the wheat in rapacious buzzing bunches. I tried to put these things out of my mind.

But having smoked three packs a day for decades, a few weeks later, in a fury, Charles threw his cigarettes into the River Thames.
