Absolutely heartbreaking. I'm hoping other countries are welcoming to these poor people. Sad that thoughts and prayers are all we will offer.

@bathina. It won't be the US of A welcoming them.  Heard tonight theyll only be allowed to stay temporarily  and won't be able to work here.

I wonder if any of the other 29 occupied Bahamian Islands will be able to absorb them?  I read that thete are 300 islands in the Bahamas but only 30 are occupied.

Saturday a cruise ship took 1,500 Bahamian survivors to Palm Beach.

   My son and I were talking about our trip to grand Bahama Island and a casino there, we went to a beach and the people were so friendly.

    We strolled  through lush gardens with beautiful birds. 

    It’s hard to believe that it is no more.

    Tourist trade is life to those islands. No more.

Disney Cruise ships also brought aid. A lot of people are doing great things. Too bad they don’t make the news. I see a lot on social media of what people are doing.

The citizens of the world with pure hearts will be helping The Bahamas get back on their feet.
