Tropical cyclone bears down on Dorian-ravaged Bahamas

People walk next to a shattered and water-filled coffin in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas. A tropical cyclone is now threatening to complicate recovery efforts.A tropical cyclone carrying heavy rain and strong winds neared the already devastated Bahamas on Friday, threatening to complicate Hurricane Dorian recovery efforts as the UN secretary-general arrived in the islands in a show of support.

Guterres was expected to visit over the weekend with people affected by the hurricane and the humanitarian teams assisting them. He planned to meet with Prime Minister Hubert Minnis in Nassau.Tropical Cyclone Nine was not expected to bring anywhere near the devastation of Dorian, even if it strengthens into a depression or storm.

By late afternoon on Friday, the tropical disturbance was 240 miles east-southeast of Freeport on Grand Bahama Island, traveling northwest at 8 miles per hour, the NHC said. World Central Kitchen, a charity that has served some 200,000 prepared meals in the Bahamas since Dorian hit, said it was sending ingredients to Abaco ahead of the storm in case helicopters were unable to deliver ready-cooked food in the affected areas.

Pretty sure that is why they call it hurricane season.
