MINIMAL DAMAGE TO SOUTHERN BAHAMAS IN HURRICANE MATTHEW

“The Tribune”, Nassau, Bahamas, reported in its “Hurricane Special Edition” Friday, October 7^th, 2016, about the southern Bahamas: “ – the eye of Matthew missed most of those islands, causing minimal damage to them.” 

This was a relief. Long Island, where Erskine was born and brought up, is located in the southern Bahamas, and it was badly hit by Hurricane Joaquin a year ago.
