Videos of the tragic devastation in Treasure Cay, Abaco Bahamas caused by Hurricane Dorian. I have Monetized this channel as of September 11, 2019 in order to give 100% of all future proceeds of any video posted to Bahamian relief and Aid.

If you are interested in the use of any of these videos for the purpose of relief to the Bahamas without any personal gain in any form, then please message me through youtube or Facebook. I can not emphasize enough that any use must benefit the Northern Bahamas. For those calling me or my immediate family, please do not call as we are in deep mourning for those we care about in the Abacos and have deep ties to the Area. This is not an easy time for anyone who cares for the Abacos and Grand Bahama but is nothing compared to what the local population went through and the mountain they must climb to restore a version of the paradise that they call home.

    Why do countries build homes that aren’t hurricane proof when you live right in their path, hopefully they’ve learnt their lesson and make them stronger next time. Nothing you can do about having a boat parked in your back garden when you live next to a marina, just hope nobody lost their lives and are all well like a lot of people say it’s only money your health is more important.

    • @jonathancarrell7797
      @jonathancarrell7797 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      First off, many many lives were lost. Not at this resort/community but in the area. Estimated 1-2 thousand undocumented immigrants lost their lives. As well as many Bahamians. Second, there is nothing that is 100 hurricane proof. Third, many of these homes were built 20-50 years ago. The building codes were not the same. And building hurricane resistant homes is very expensive. It’s not like the average Bahamian in Abaco has the means to build such homes. Many still are homeless(living with friends or relatives) or living in partially destroyed homes. Fixing them as they can.

Don’t think that area will ever come back to the way it was. So sorry for the people that used to live there, and for me who will never be able to go there again.

    Freeze the video at time -1:15. Seems like the guy making the video tried to keep from videoing this house. The house doesn't have the slightest damage, the debris has been removed from the yard and the yard is a beautiful shade of green which means that he's watered it. Meanwhile the rest of the island is in shambles.

    • @Islamisthecultofsin
      @Islamisthecultofsin 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Jordan Slaven The video is about what the area looks like after the hurricane struck it. The house has just as much right to be videoed as anything else on the video. It just seemed odd to me was all. The guy who owned the house was there cleaning up after the storm. I really don't think anyone has astro turf for lawns in the Bahamas.

For those who will be part of the reconstruction effort, there is a new drone technology called Certifly.com as well as RoofShots.com. Either can create roof measurements in the Bahamas where no one else can. This will greatly speed up the initial process for insurance adjusters or contractors who are there to help rebuild lives.

    Apologies to all that didn't get to what they were looking for. It was an overwhelming experience in which the sole purpose was to provide Aid to those in need. Bahamians and Hatians alike. The sense of unity amongst the Treasure Cay community that experienced these this horrific experience brought tears to my eyes on multiple occasions. Bahamians and Haitians are stronger and kinder than I thought anyone could be. They will recover however the road will be long and hard. At this moment it is full of questions and completely void of answers. They have been left with the shirt on their back and a few items they were able to salvage that have an indescribable odor. No more than fits in backpacks and garbage bags. The destruction is widespread and catastrophic. Unfortunately due to a ton of false information we were not in Treasure long. We planned to do multiple trips however after seeing the scale of the situation we thought that it was better to regroup. We took off island (to Nassau) several Bahamian friends. While keeping an eye on the boats I was able to use the drone. I was not able to make it further inland with the drone. I didn't feel comfortable flying higher than 100' or too far away. There were times where it wasn't safe to fly due to the helicopter landing or flying over. There were also small aircraft doing recon. There were military, relief, chef Jose Andres with meals, coastguard) I imagine a lot more footage will be coming out in the next few days. I will be returning with more aid and the needs of the few that are staying behind. At that time I will get more footage the rest of Treasure cay. I really am sorry I couldn't give you a bit of an idea about your properties. I tell you with regret that it highly doubtful that they survived. I'll just say, it's indescribable and even the video does not do anything close to giving you a real sense of the disaster on the ground. I can say that when or if you go ( which I don't advise to do anytime soon aside from to provide aid) it will sink in that that it's so much more than property that was destroyed. A paradise that so many enjoyed seasonly, love, and may have even called home is completely destroyed.And I emphasize completely. Island life isn't as easy as most think, though many of us understand that it's not filled with daily island hopping, drinking, fishing, diving it can be taken for granted. It's about finding and making the most out of the few opportunities that they had and then enjoying the paradise they call home. Generations of hard work, blood, sweat, tears, laughter, failure and success has been wiped off the face of the earth. It heartbreaking to see the long hard work, the hopes, and dreams throughout the local population that enabled them to open businesses and lead simple happy lifes in a paradise setting destroyed. They have been left with little hope, a government that has left them one their own. The glimmer of hope that I was left with is I saw a resilience in the population and something else that can be summed up by a tattoo on the back of a Bahamian that many of you know and love.

There were military, relief, chef Jose Andres with meals, coastguard) I imagine a lot more footage will be coming out in the next few days. I will be returning with more aid and the needs of the few that are staying behind. At that time I will get more footage the rest of Treasure cay. I really am sorry I couldn't give you a bit of an idea about your properties. I tell you with regret that it highly doubtful that they survived. I'll just say, it's indescribable and even the video does not do anything close to giving you a real sense of the disaster on the ground. I can say that when or if you go ( which I don't advise to do anytime soon aside from to provide aid) it will sink in that that it's so much more than property that was destroyed. A paradise that so many enjoyed seasonly, love, and may have even called home is completely destroyed.And I emphasize completely. Island life isn't as easy as most think, though many of us understand that it's not filled with daily island hopping, drinking, fishing, diving it can be taken for granted. It's about finding and making the most out of the few opportunities that they had and then enjoying the paradise they call home. Generations of hard work, blood, sweat, tears, laughter, failure and success has been wiped off the face of the earth. It heartbreaking to see the long hard work, the hopes, and dreams throughout the local population that enabled them to open businesses and lead simple happy lifes in a paradise setting destroyed. They have been left with little hope, a government that has left them one their own. The glimmer of hope that I was left with is I saw a resilience in the population and something else that can be summed up by a tattoo on the back of a Bahamian that many of you know and love. " The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands at times of challenge and also controversy." The Bahamian/Haitian men, women, and children surpass all measures. Apologies for any spelling or grammatical errors
