A tropical storm warning was issued Thursday for the Bahamas, less than two weeks after Hurricane Dorian devastated the commonwealth’s northwest region as a Category 5 hurricane.
The U.S. National Weather Service issued an advisory warning that tropical storm conditions are expected in the northwest Bahamas, including the Abaco Islands, by late Friday. No significant storm surge is anticipated as the storm is only predicted to give off two to four inches of rain.
The Abaco Islands were pummeled earlier this month by Hurricane Dorian, a storm that wrecked boats and flipped-over cars in the streets. After the storm, the area was filled with flattened houses, crushed businesses and mangled playgrounds.
Hurricane Dorian’s death toll in the Bahamas climbed to 50 on Monday as 1,300 others remain unaccounted for.
