NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Patricia Rolle is a resident we met at a gas station on Sunday before conditions in New Providence began to deteriorate.

She told us that after enduring three hours at the grocery store the day before, her and her husband went out to complete last minute errands.

“We [were] just driving trying to see what’s going on”

“It’s not too bad I have seen a few cars…I went to the store again this morning and it was not too bad,” Rolle said.

He said from his observation, customers came in that morning to purchase various items, mostly snacks.
