This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Randy Nagy, center, talks with firefighters arriving from the city of Miami to help those affected by Hurricane Dorian while his wife Silvia, 63, goes out the door of his destroyed house in Pelican Point, Grand Bahama, Bahamas. The American couple retired to Pelican Point, Bahamas 3 years ago, had been traveling to the Bahamas for years and had lived through several storms, including Hurricane Francis.

“No one deserves to go through this,” said her daughter, 30-year-old Dimple Lightbourne, blinking away tears. The upheaval, however, was exciting to her 8-year-old son, Kayden Monestime, who said he was looking forward to going to a mall, McDonald’s and Foot Locker. Russell said good Samaritans had taken her and a group of people into their home over the weekend and found them a hotel room in Nassau for a couple of days.“To know that we were going to a hotel, with electricity and air conditioning and a proper shower, I cried,” she said. “I’ve never been through anything like this in my life.”

Mother wants body of daughter killed in Dorian returned to CanadaThe mother of a Canadian citizen killed when Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas is asking the federal government for help in bringing her daughter's body back to Canada. First off, what about the husband? He doesn’t get the child he’s been helping raise? Secondly, as sad and disgusting as it is, let the people get the living out first so more people don’t die. Seriously stop posting the same news story over and over again! And what about the $40000 GoFundMe. Maybe that money should be given to the husband who lost a wife so he can continue to care for his step-son.
