This is heartbreaking. Everything was destroyed by hurricane. I’m crying
@Kelsie William I hear ya ….. unfortunately, America has been hijacked by psychopaths long before Trump came along …. America cannot save the Bahamas ……unlikely that America saves itself.
Douglas, how are you cumbum?
@DOUGLAS HOTCHKISS yikes ….don’t involve me in your bromance . . . . Why don’t you and d.t. work things out elsewhere?
@Captain Diggler as i said, i blocked him months ago.
Hopefully they get the help they need. God bless
Hopefully the rest will die out. So God can have them back. We need those hotel revenue back up n running.
@Leonel Ventura too bad more of these people didnt die. Now we ha e to share our resources. The should be killed off and rebuilt without them
Thanks@Leonel Ventura.😊 Sure but You sound like a Lost Boy ie Why talk with the rabble when youve got all the answers? Only to gloat somehow seems to mock you?😁
@Safir dont be pissy cause they are blessed..
I went to Bahamas at summer and now I saw this… It’s heartbreaking It was a beautiful place and the government won’t do shi*. Disappointed
@davids11131113 If you were not so ignorant you would be aware the Bahamas became independent over 40 years ago. Despite this the British Royal Navy vessel that patrols the Caribbean every hurricane season arrived Monday. An expert British team of engineers and hurricane recovery is repairing delivering aid and surveying where help is most needed. The Navy ship carries a Helicopter and huge amounts of amphibious landing craft. They are specialised to repair airports communications roads. The British government has sent in experts to assess aid requirements. The British taxpayers are on no level required to help. We however would crucify our government if they didn’t assist. Because these are human beings that need everyone to help .https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news-and-latest-activity/news/2019/september/05/190905-mounts-bay-delivers-aid

@Tessmage Tessera…It appears that the idea of helping the Bahamian people, of showing human compassion and voicing hopes the people there will get the help they need soon has triggered every despicable example of humanity, every brainless Trump supporter to open their mouths and spew hate and ignorance. This just reinforces my commitment to do everything in my power to ensure Trump loses in 2020. The comments on this report from Bahama, by these childish cold hearted people, wishing even more suffering on the victims of this disaster….is nothing short of sickening.
@Mr Jones hes also donald trump on yt. A total punk.
Suddenly every thing you had was gone whit a hurricane
Trump won’t help, they can’t vote for him. He’ll sharpie them off the map.
Will Mexico help? Guatemala? El Salvador? Shaddup!!
Maybe Mexico can sell them some cocaine…
juan Guerra Here’s the stupid person. HE thinks trump is president of the world
@Dave Waldon Actually I am the leader of the world. Dave you are HOMOSEXUAL yes?
juan Guerra….looks like your comment triggered all the idiot Trump supporters.
All those people in Florida who cleared out all their stores in preparation for the storm that never hit Florida. They should donate all of their supplies 50 miles east to the Bahamas. “Attention, everybody bring your unused emergency supplies to the port and we will boat it to the Bahamas.”
Supplies from the USA could cause obesity in the Bahamas!
drama queen
Wish I could come and help
If I were you I’d worry about stabilizing your sexuality before anything else.
How many people are going back to take the risk again ? This is likely to repeat itself . Frightful .
The entire country is in the line of a potential hurricane. So we have no place to go but to build back and hope this never happens again
@Gray Nevertheless, I hope that other choices will become possible.
Houses that are even more resistant to these storms and what is very important is building flood defenses such as in the Netherlands .
@M. R. Molenaar Elzinga I agree but I don’t think anything could withstand a category 5 hurricane with 185 wind speed that stayed in one place for 2 days.
So sad ! For these guy ! Look a lot like Vietnam during my younger day !
Sad…… Hope they are rebuilding for category seven hurricanes for the future.
Im disgusted by government entities that show lack of regard for their citizens……Priority #1 – Citizens wellfare……🕉
Grand Bahamas will be a tropical paradise nature reserve in a couple of years.
That wouldn’t be so bad.
While your rebuilding, round up the criminals and drop them off in the ocean. Don’t do like the mayor of new Orleans after Katrina.
Never heard of Geico, Yet has a Humvee Hmm 🤔
If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalm 11:3. The answer is cry out to God.
Dirt poor islands so don’t expect government help. It’s not coming.
I’m sorry.
Carnival Cruise lines needs to buy the whole island, fix it to be paridise, and bring tourist’s there.
You can buy a 1500 foot ship for half a billion, you can fix the Island it goes to.
