Six months after Hurricane Dorian shredded the Bahamas

[the other mike]

Approaching hurricane season again already, at a time when the Bahamas has just begun recovering from the last one. If this one had hit Miami the numbers would be at least 10 times higher. To refresh your memory;

Hurricane Dorian struck the Abaco Islands as a Category 5 hurricane on September 1, and a day later hit Grand Bahama Island at the same category. The hurricane then stalled over Grand Bahama for another day, finally pulling away from the island on September 3. Damage amounted to US$3.4 billion, and there were at least 70 deaths in the country. Another 282 people were left missing after the hurricane.

I thought the Bahamians were under British rule? Why are they counting in US dollars?

I guess the Wikipedia gods are American.

The Abacos are trashed.

Been there many times. An utterly beautiful place just shredded. Will be years before its anywhere back to normal...

So was my hometown. And, I was fortunate to have lived through it.
