Trump: We don't know what's coming but it has a lot of wind, very very much wind with water.....lots of water with a eye.....a black eye in the middle of it.

Bahamas are British

Yes and no. They were formerly a British colony but became independent in 1973. They are a Commonwealth realm now but I bet you we end up offering them more financial assistance than the UK does in the coming months (and they will need it - Grand Bahama Island and Abaco are going to be in ruins for some time). And honestly as close as Grand Bahama is to Florida, we can probably help them quite a bit with humanitarian plane drops of supplies in the coming weeks.
Beautiful land - I honeymooned on Paradise Island 20 years ago. Luckily, Nassau looks to be mostly unscathed by Dorian. I think that's where most of the money is in that country. A bunch of super wealthy folks live out there.
ETA - the U.S. Coast Guard is already rescuing people on Abaco. Grand Bahama is ****ed - Dorian has basically just sat over that island for almost a day now. Imagine a cat 5/high 4 just sitting over you for a day! Just read an estimated 13,000 homes in the Bahamas are destroyed or severely damaged, and considering Abaco has roughly 25K residents and Grand Bahama 50K, I suspect that means very few homes are untouched.

And the aid we send them will be used far more efficiently than anything we sent to Puerto Rico.
This is a small, but bad one. Hopefully it skims the coast and does less damage that it's certainly capapble of doing otherwise. I have no idea why anyone would want to make a joke out of a deadly hurricane. Having lived through plenty, hurricanes are no joking matter.
I love how the label says "Climate Crisis". Like we gonna do something about Hurricanes. What no one wants to admit is that hurricanes were a lot worse and more frequent during the first part of the 20th century than they are now. There is just more people and improved land. Ask a WW2 vet that served in the Pacific how many Typhoons there were during the war.

It's an ad for their town hall tomorrow evening, where the 10 democratic nominees will undoubtedly blame their political opponents on an act of mother nature for seven straight hours.
Jack Tapper just tried to get their house meteorologist to blame Dorian's pause over the Bahamas on "climate change". The actual reason is that it was stuck between two high pressure systems. Same scenario as Harvey in 2017.
