Two months after Hurricane Dorian, debris poses critical health risks for Bahamians.
“This was by far the worst storm in my lifetime, but the United States has responded incredibly,” Lonnie Lowe, 66, an eighth generation Bahamian to live on Green Turtle Cay, said. The retired builder said the island is thankful for American aid, even though Green Turtle was founded by British loyalists.
About 500 people live on Green Turtle Cay and, with nearly half of the barrier island's structures flattened by Hurricane Dorian, they are now sharing whatever dry housing remains.
The Bahamian economy is highly dependent on tourism, which employs nearly half the labor force. Green Turtle relies on golf cart rentals, boat charters and restaurants as the economic pulse. All that ground to a halt when Dorian hit, leaving most islanders out of work.
