The Bahamas are so flat they flood easely with a storm surge. The good thing is the houses are strong and are anchored on limestone.
The images are truly horrible to look at... some parts also got 89cm of rain....

I'm not so sure about the housing situation. Earlier reports mentioned something lik 45% of homes being  severely damaged or destroyed. But such early information is understandably not that reliable.

This video of Abaco show a pretty bad picture of the destruction.  The cars often seem like they held up the best.  I wonder if people would be better off staying in their cars for protection during the storms although high water could cause drowning situations?

Well, they might get driven into the ocean.

Boats, on the other hand, get driven onto the land.  Better be rich like Trump, and get onto your jet and fly somewhere else. Maybe for a few games of golf until things settle down? (Hell if you are he, your country would pay to fly you somewhere else.)

Rich solves everything, often even health. Certainly saves you from political reality that only affects the rest of us, the drones.

...Rich solves everything...

The very reason people strive to become rich, which, in turn, helps even the drones.

Of course... a healthy dose of macho vanity is also needed ;)
