A helicopter pilot volunteering in the Bahamas in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian discovered around 40 people inhabiting a pile of debris left from the storm.

A helicopter pilot volunteering in the Bahamas in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian was shocked to discover this week that an area full of debris from the storm was inhabited by up to 40 people.

While flying over Little Abaco, Vic Micolucci, a Jacksonville, Florida, news reporter who went along for the ride, pointed out a debris field and asked Justin Johnson whether anyone could be down there. But after thinking about it, Justin Johnson decided to stop in the area the next day while on a supply run to Fox Town.When he landed at the site, people began crawling out of the debris all around him. He rushed back to his wife and began gathering supplies.They pulled together tents, water and food. With the help of MEDIC Corps, they were able to take a couple loads of supplies back to the stranded people.

Earlier in the week, the Johnsons rescued three young children who’d been stranded on a broken road in the Abacos. The Johnsons were on a supply run when they came across a man who told them some children who he needed to get to were stuck somewhere nearby.
