GRAND BAHAMA, BAHAMAS – The small fishing village of Sweetings Cay is still in recovery mode, three years after Hurricane Dorian made landfall on the cay. Many of those residents who remained there were forced to sleep in tents as reconstruction efforts dragged on. Our Jameelha Missick spoke to residents there who say although the cay is starting to return to normalcy, there’s still much more work to be done.

Austin Duncombe Jr, Hulan Davis and Leonard Feaster all survived Hurricane Dorian on Sweetings Cay. The men weathered the storm together as rising water levels flooded the cay.

Davis says it was almost a week before help arrived.

The men say they lost everything. Three years later, both Davis and feaster have new homes thanks to the Rotary organization. However, Feaster says there’s much more to be done on the cay.

Davis says he’s happy to see the return of some sort of normalcy.
