Looked but I can’t see anywhere where there is a Bahamas Forum or Dorian Thread.

I made a post maybe months ago but deleted as maybe too disturbing a topic for an upbeat recovering island and followers but now I will pose the question again given the relevancy to Dorian and with Abaco reportedly had a 22ish foot storm surge and I’ve heard there are many bodies on land and at sea.


When we were on SXM in January 2019, when talking with many familiar locals from past trips, they all alluded to the same thing on SXM and that it was kept low and some said because the two governments would have had to institute drastic health/quarantines and so forth.

In particular, I was told there were lots and lots of bodies initially in Orient Bay and Grand Case including in the waters.

Anybody else hear similar accounts on SXM? Was there ever an official Irma death toll?
