"I was sitting down in my bedroom looking out the window, watching the breeze. My neighbor across the street has double doors and then... the breeze opened the doors, broke (them) off," Smith said. "Next thing I know I see his roof just flying off and it came toward my room."
Moments later a large tree smashed through the window she was sitting next to, forcing her to run for the bathroom where she spent the next hours crunched in her bathtub, praying to stay alive.
"That's what saved me," she said of the bathroom, a place she always hears being referred to as a "safe haven" during storms.
She got inside the small room's tub, listening to the wind pound and push against the walls. The island was rattled by hurricane-force winds for more than 48 hours as Dorian lingered over the islands, pounding the same battered places again and again.
"I was just praying to God just to save my life cause I was scared," Smith said. "I didn't think I was going to make it."
