Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis said whatever the outcome of Hurricane Melissa, The Bahamas would “rebuild” and “rise again”.
Davis’ comments in the House of Assembly yesterday morning came as Melissa, a Category 2 storm, churned away from Cuba as it headed towards the southeast and portions of the central Bahamas.
On Tuesday, Melissa slammed into Jamaica as a Category 5 storm, wreaking havoc across parts of the island, leaving flooding and infrastructure damage in its wake. “This powerful superstorm has brought hardship to many of our Caribbean brothers and sisters, particularly the people of Jamaica and now Cuba,” Davis said yesterday.
