My local news channel just reported that a church filled with people riding out the storm has had storm surge up to the rafters. No word on casualties. Rumors abound that many people on Abaco are believed to have been swept out to sea.

— Copernicus EMS (@CopernicusEMS) September 2, 2019How you can help. Donation link in the body of the article below.
Orlando, Fla.- As Hurricane Dorian continues along its destructive path through the Bahamas on its way to Florida, one company has a plan in place once the storm passes to provide what will be much needed relief efforts to the folks on the islands.
MySky Aviation Solutions will coordinate the efforts powered by Boomerang Air Charter and TRYP Air Charter. Once they get the all clear, supplies like water, hygiene products, batteries, and non perishable foods will be placed on a Pilatus PC12 and Beechcraft Baron 58 plane and will be sent to the islands. The flights will be launched from Orlando Executive Airport, Daytona Beach Airport, and Saint Augustine Airport.
Even if the damage is extensive, they have an alternative plan. They will land at a nearby location and then deliver the items via ships from the ports to the people in need.
The company has set up a Go Fund Me page for anyone who would like to donate so they can purchase the supplies to be carried over. You can donate here:
Also, if you would prefer to drop off supplies, it can be done at the following locations:
-Atlantic Aviation at the Northeast Florida Regional Airport
- Sheltair Aviation at the Daytona Beach International Airport
- Sheltair Aviation at the Orlando Executive Airport.
Get him the fuck out of office.

“Another possible donation site: Chef Jose Andres is already in the Bahamas, with crews pre-positioning supplies and equipment so as soon as the storm passes they can set up mobile kitchens in the worst-affected areas.
xHow do we organize a response in Bahamas? Here’s our current map we are working from.... @WCKitchen has kitchens ready to go and shelters mapped out. If kitchens are destroyed, we build one and cook in big paella pans! https://t.co/yNzrfrKIaSpic.twitter.com/fa4sBN8qMe
