More than a week after Hurricane Dorian slammed the Abaco Islands, the search and rescue efforts have shifted to recovering the remains of those killed by storm.
Occasionally, there was life still found in the Mudd. A few local residents who remained were looking through the debris. There was a black and brown-splotched kitten, and there were two dogs chained to a home who were barking at the recovery team.
It was within one of these destroyed homes that the recovery crew came upon the bodies of a woman and a man. Eventually, they made their way to a makeshift wooden stretcher made of pieces of plywood from the debris, appearing almost like a funeral procession making their way through the destruction as they made their way to their base.
The men worked through thick slabs of wood that could have been the walls or roof of the destroyed house until they were able to recover the man's remains.Kenson Accius observes the site where his friend's body was found minutes earlier, in the neighborhood of the Mudd, Abaco Island, Bahamas.One of them, Kenson Accius, said the man they were carrying had been a best friend of his, who died alongside his wife and 2-year-old child in his home during the hurricane.“Sunday I look for him.
