Hurricane death toll climbs to 20 in devastated Bahamas

Associated Press  

FREEPORT, Bahamas — The ground crunched under Greg Alem’s feet on Wednesday as he walked over the ruins of his home, laid waste by Hurricane Dorian. He’s lost everything, but his faith kept him strong.” The devastation wrought by Dorian — and the terror it inflicted during its day-and-a-half mauling of the Bahamas — came into focus Wednesday as the passing of the storm revealed a muddy, debris-strewn landscape of smashed and flooded-out homes on Abaco and Grand Bahama islands. I want to assure you that more help is on the way.” He thanked the international community for its response, especially the U.S. government for what he called their “exceptional assistance.” The U.S. Coast Guard, Britain’s Royal Navy and relief organizations including the United Nations and the Red Cross joined the burgeoning effort to rush food and medicine to survivors and lift the most desperate people to safety by helicopter. Not one of them have a home to live anymore.” The storm pounded the Bahamas with Category 5 winds up to 185 mph and torrential rains, swamping neighborhoods in brown floodwaters and destroying or severely damaging, by one estimate, nearly half the homes in Abaco and Grand Bahama, which have 70,000 residents and are known for their marinas, golf courses and all-inclusive resorts. As for those who hesitated to do so, he said: “If they go through it one time, maybe they’ll understand.” ___ Coto reported from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Weissenstein from Nassau, Bahamas.
