Thoughts and prayers are not going to be near enough to help the Bahamians in the immediate future.
I have been through both Ivan in '04 and Gilbert in '88.
The.. aw crap, words don't even seem useful... Nothing I add can mean anything.
But I do suggest, please assist the Bahamas any way you can. Be sure that it is a truly legit relief effort. No support can be wasted.
They need help more than I can imagine...
