Sean Connery fled Hurricane Dorian, says he's 'lucky' his Bahamas mansion escaped damage

The 225 mph mega-storm battered the Caribbean island nation for two days, causing widespread devastation.
The deadly vortex left “apocalyptic” scenes in its wake, reducing homes to rubble with thousands feared dead.

Connery told the Scottish Daily Mail: “We are both fine. We were lucky compared to many others and the damage here was not great.
