Haven’t seen this posted yet. The magnitude of this devastation is unbelievable. To see concrete pulverized in such a fashion.

Oh god that is horrifying...if even reinforced concrete is destroyed, does that mean if a category 5 stalls out over our cities, all the buildings are going down?

With the exception of Key West and surrounding towns of the Keys, any Category 5 storm stalling out over an American city would weaken rapidly due to land interaction and dry air entrainment. The Bahamas (also the lesser Antilles) unfortunately are the perfect location where a category 5 storm can impact land without losing strength for days because they're just small flat islands surrounded by warm water.
That video really is beyond words. Seeing the reinforced concrete structures destroyed like that... Its miraculous that there were any survivors at all.

I am not a meteorologist, and any posts made by me are not official forecasts or to be interpreted as being intelligent. These posts are just my opinions and are probably silly opinions.

That was the first thing that jumped my mind. Really makes you think twice about Providence, divine or otherwise.

Hurricane Dorian began approaching Nova Scotia on Saturday morning
from the southwest, tracking just south of Southwestern Shore by
Saturday afternoon. Dorian made the transition to an intense
post-tropical system just before making landfall over the Chebucto
Peninsula, just south of Halifax around 7pm Saturday evening. Dorian
then quickly tracked through northern Nova Scotia then just east of
Prince Edward Island and toward the eastern Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Dorian brought destructive winds to much of Nova Scotia, flooding
rains, and storm surge to parts of the Atlantic coast. At its peak,
over 402,000 customers were without power. There were many reports
of damage due to uprooted trees and flying debris. Storm surge also
brought extensive flooding to some coastal areas.

The videographer doesn't accurately explain the damage as that was not a reinforced concrete structure, but rather cinderblock. The devastation is bad enough that such exaggerations are unnecessary. That said, the immense power of a large storm surge is capable of destroying such a structure. They definitely endured that, sadly, and Cat 5 winds!

Re: ATL: DORIAN - Post-Tropical - Discussion
The destruction is incredible, how do towns and cities recover from that? It is like the north Atlantic version of typhoon Haiyan.
One thing I notice on many of these hurricane aftermath videos, is that no matter how strong the storm, there seems to always be at least one or two buildings that look far less damaged than the rest. There is at least one house in that video with the roof still on, and it looks at first glance to be habitable (although they only show it from one angle). It would be worth looking at the least damaged structures to try and find out what it was about the construction that made them more resiliant to the extreme wind.

Quick question: do you mean a strong storm surge will destroy reinforced concrete?
Yes. The tremendous force exerted by a powerful storm surge is capable of knocking down and/or undermining a concrete structure. As bad as Cat 5 winds are, it's the storm surge that typically causes the most destruction. That appears to be the case yet again, here, as it was the case for the most dramatic devastation caused by hurricane Michael at Mexico Beach...as well as Camille in 1969.
Edit: That's not to say that the Cat 5 winds in the aforementioned hurricanes didn't also produce incredible damage by their intense winds, as well.

Jim Edds also posted a quick video of Dorian's eyewall winds, much shorter than Josh's video, only 25 seconds, but still worth a look for sure.
