The ones who stayed behind: A new community of survivors is emerging on Abaco island nearly three weeks after Hurricane Dorian blasted through the northern Bahamas, killing at least 50 people.
Vladimir Safford an immigrant from Haiti walks through the rubble next to his home in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian in Abaco, Bahamas, Monday, Sept. 16, 2019. Dorian hit the northern Bahamas on Sept. 1, with sustained winds of 185 mph , unleashing flooding that reached up to 25 feet in some areas.
Thousands of people like Wallace and Richie remain in limbo as local officials debate how they will help Bahamians rebuild their lives. Non-profit groups now await directions from the government after blanketing hard-hit Abaco and Grand Bahama islands with food, water and manpower following the Category 5 storm.
In addition, more than 1,300 people have been reported as missing, but the government has said it expects that number to drop because many may be in shelters or staying with family or friends. “At the initial phase of a crisis, people tend to have their hair on fire,” he said. “We are past that phase.”
“It’s going to be a long recovery,” he said as he squinted under a bright sun in Abaco on a recent morning and looked around. “The island has emptied. The population was unable to stay here.”
