A STAKE KNIFE AND RAPED HER BELIEVE LEAVING THE APARTMENT.
HE IS BEING HELD ON NO BOND.
>> Nicole: TODAY MARKS ONE MONTH
SINCE HURRICANE DORIAN SLAMMED
THE BAHAMAS AT A CATEGORY FIVE.
I WAS THERE IN MARSH HARBOR WHEN
IT MADE LAND FALL.
AND OUR CO ANCHOR HAS BEEN
GETTING A FIRST HAND LOOK AT THE
DEVASTATION AND THE RECOVERY
EFFORTS.
EFFORTS. HE JOINS US LIVE TO SHOW US,
CALVIN.
CALVIN. >> Reporter: ONE MONTH AGO, YOU
WERE LIVING A NIGHTMARE WHEN
DORIAN MADE LAND FALL HERE.
BUT THEY ARE LIVING THAT EVERY
SINGLE DAY.
SINGLE DAY. THEY WAKE UP TO SEE NO
INFRASTRUCTURE, NO BUILDING, NO
SCHOOLS, NOTHING.
SCHOOLS, NOTHING. ALL OF IT WIPED OUT.
BY DORIAN’S FURY.
IT LEFT NOTHING IN THIS TOWN, A
LOT OF LIFE THAT PEOPLE KNEW
BEFORE DORIAN IS NOW GONE.
BUT THERE IS A GROUP OF ABOUT 18
WHO ARE HERE THAT NEVER LEFT,
WHO SAID THEY WANT TO SEE THIS
PLACE BOUNCE BACK.
>> FOR GENERATIONS GENERATIONS T
GUESTIC WATERS WAS THE ECONOMY.
ONE MONTH AGO THE SEA CHANGED
ITS MIND.
ITS MIND. >> WE HAVE MOLD STARTED BACK IN
THESE CLOSETS.
THESE CLOSETS. AND IT IS GETTING -- THAT RIGHT
THERE IS GETTING DANGEROUS.
>> MICHAEL DYLAN LOST
EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING. >> THERE’S NO COMING BACK WITHS
THIS HIS HOME, HIS BUSINESS.
>> WE RAN OUT OF BUSINESS OUT OF
HERE.
HERE. I PROPOSED TO HERE RIGHT HERE
TWO, YEARS AGO.
>>
>> >> IS MICHAEL SAYS HE WILL NEVER
LOSE HIS DESIRE TO SEE THEM
BOUNCE BACK.
BOUNCE BACK. >> IS I HAVE NEVER BEEN ANYWHERE
THAT I FEEL AS HOME AS I DO
HERE.
HERE. I WANT TO SEE OUR ABACO FAMILY
COME HOME.
COME HOME. AND I AM NOT GOING TO LEAVE
HERE -- I AM NOT LEAVING.
THIS IS HOME FOR ME.
>> IS LED BY DEBBIE
WASSERMAN-SCHULTZ FOR THE FIRST
TIME SINCE DORIAN MADE LAND
FALL, A CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION
CAME TO SEE THE DESTRUCTION.
>> IT IS HARD TO SEE THE LEVEL
OF DESTRUCTION THAT WE WITNESS
HERE TODAY.
HERE TODAY. BUT IT IS ALSO AMAZING TO SEE
THE HOPE OF THE PEOPLE.
>> FROM THE CHURCHES TO MARSH
HARBOR’S FOUR BANKS.
DEMOLISHED.
DEMOLISHED. AND ONLY ENTIRE CALL CRUSHED BE
I THE STORM ON THE LEFT AND ON
THE RIGHT.
THE RIGHT. DEBRIS EVERYWHERE.
DEBRIS EVERYWHERE. MOUNTAINS OF DEBRIS.
AND THIS IS THE WAY IT IS IN
MOST OF MARSH HARBOR.
>> I AM TOLD BY ONE LOCAL THAT A
WOMAN NAMED LYDIA LIVED HERE.
AND SHE HELD ON TO THIS CONCRETE
POLE, THIS BARRIER.
HUGS IT.
HUGS IT. WHILE 25 FEET OF WATER JUST
CRUSHED HER HOME.
THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A LONG ROAD,
TO RECOVERY.
TO RECOVERY. A LONG ROAD TO RECOVERY, BUT
THERE IS A GLIMMER OF HOPE
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT. THE MARSH HARBOR MAIN GROCERY
STORE IS PLANNING TO OPEN ON
DECEMBER 1ST.
DECEMBER 1ST. IT IS A LOFTY GOAL, BUT THEY SAY
IT CAN HAPPEN.
BUT THEY KNOW IT IS GOING TO BE
A LONG TIME BEFORE THEY GET ANY
RUNNING WATER, OR THE
ELECTRICITY BACK ON HERE.
THEY EXPECT THAT TO HAPPEN NO
SOONER THAN SIX TO 12 MONTHS.
REPORTING LIVE, JENISE AND LOUIS
BACK TO YOU.
JUST DEVASTATING.
JUST DEVASTATING. >> THAT’S GOOD TO HERE.
AND CALVIN, WE KNOW YOU HAVE
BEEN TALKING TO SOME OF THE
PEOPLE THAT DECIDED TO STAY
DESPITE MARSH HARBOR LOOKING
LIKE A WAR ZONE.
WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT DOING AT
THIS POINT IN THE CLEAN UP
EFFORTS?
EFFORTS? >> , THAT’S A GOOD QUESTION.
YOU HAVE SOME THAT SAY THE
GOVERNMENT ISN’T DOING ENOUGH.
THERE ARE SOME PLACES HERE WHERE
THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOT EVEN
SHOWN ITS FACE.
BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH
THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE WORST
STORM EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE
BAHAMAS.
BAHAMAS. BUT IT CAN BE SOME TIME BEFORE
THEY GET HERE TO MAKE PLANS TO
TRY TO BRING THIS PLACE BACK.
BUT NO MATTER WHAT, IT IS GOING
TO TAKE A LONG TIME.
THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN DEVASTATING
HAD IT HIT ANY MAJOR U.S. CITY.
TO HAVE THAT CRITICISM, SOME SAY
THAT THE GOVERNMENT ISN’T DOING
ENOUGH.
ENOUGH. IT MAY BE HARSH CONSIDERING IT
HAS BEEN ONE MONTH.
>> WORKING WITH LIMITED
RESOURCES TOO.
