Bahamas... 395 thousand people and....

The administration has proposed cutting NOAA's budget to about $4.5 billion for fiscal year (FY) 2020, a drop of about 18%, nearly $1 billion, compared with the agency's FY 2019 enacted budget.

When NOAA can actually stop a hurricane, rather than just attempt to predict it, it would be better. Who knew that NOAA would have a $5.5 Billion dollar budget? That is a lot of money. It probably doesn't even count the money that is spent by our military flying the planes into the hurricane.

I wonder if they predict the weather for the entire world, and what other countries do to help or spend.

Here is how to stop hurricanes.

Yes, more pics will be coming, but I think we've seen enough already to have a good idea of the devastation on the northern Bahama Islands, and it's catastrophic. I don't know where all the $$ for rebuilding is going to come from for a lot of these people, that don't have a lot of resources to fall back on. The tourism economy is destroyed for the foreseeable future, as Amethyst said, so that's not going to generate any $$.

I've yet to see a single storm photo or video, but I don't watch a lot of TV news. Fortunately interest rates are low, so rebuilding loans will be that much easier to come by and service.
