Now that the storm has moved on from the islands, the recovery efforts are beginning in the Bahamas, but not without difficulty.
Catherine Russel is greeted by loved ones after arriving with other survivors of Hurricane Dorian from Abaco issland at Odyssey Aviation at Lynden Pindling International Airport September 4, 2019, in Nassau, New Providence. - Using boats, helicopters and even jet skis, Bahamian, US and British teams engaged in a hectic rescue effort for victims of Hurricane Dorian, which caused unimaginable destruction in the Bahamas.
An aerial view of damage caused by Hurricane Dorian is seen in Marsh Harbour on Great Abaco Island on September 4, 2019 in Great Abaco, Bahamas. A massive rescue effort is underway after Hurricane Dorian spent more than a day inching over the Bahamas, killing at least seven as entire communities were flattened, roads washed out and hospitals and airports swamped by several feet of water, according to published reports.
Many houses were ripped apart, roads were washed away and the Abacos Islands still have no functioning airport, meaning they have to rely on helicopters, airboats and even a flotilla of South Florida charter boats to assist in providing food, water, diapers, baby food, volunteers and other necessary items for Bahamians to live.
