About 250 people who lost their homes when Hurricane Dorian hit the northern Bahamas have arrived in Nassau after a 13-hour trip on a government-chartered ferry.
#Passengers on the “Sea Wind” ferry arrived in Nassau on Saturday, joining hundreds of other people from Abaco and Grand Bahama islands who were desperate to escape harsh conditions there.
Commercial carriers will be allowed to resume flights starting today on a limited basis. http://www.tribune242.com/news/2019/sep/11/hurricane-dorian-updates-latest-abaco-and-grand-ba/?c=210355
