Morgerman explained to The Weather Channel that the concrete school he had sheltered in was largely destroyed by 185 mile-per-hour winds while he was in it.

After the front of the storm passed, Morgerman stepped out of the shelter and into the eye of the storm. "Cars were just thrown all over the place and mutilated and a lot of the building had collapsed," he told The Weather Channel.

During the limited calm offered in the storm's eye, Morgerman and other survivors piled into the few cars that had survived the front end of the storm and sped to a much sturdier government complex.

"There were so many people crammed in," he said. "You can't imagine. There was hundreds and hundreds of people crammed into what was basically an office building." He described many of the survivors as injured and bleeding, and said he had heard reports of "many deaths."

Morgerman explained that he had chosen the Central Abaco Primary School to ride out the storm because he thought he had a "better chance of " of the storm, and because he thought it might keep him out of the storm surge.

On Tuesday evening, after surviving in two shelters and spending two days living in his car, Morgerman was able to make it to Nassau by helicopter, where he spoke to The Weather Channel.

He tweeted to his followers, "Yep, I’m alive. Made it to Nassau. #Hurricane #DORIAN: By far the most intense cyclone I’ve witnessed in 28 years of chasing. Thought I was playing it safe by riding it out in a solid-concrete school on a hill in Marsh Harbour. Thought wrong."

Earlier Tuesday, Live Storms Media tweeted that their chopper was attempting to find the school where Morgerman was holed up and shared a video of the scene.
