The Category 4 Hurricane devastated areas located roughly 300 miles south southeast of Miami, Florida. This storm decimated the local economy displacing an estimated 1500 residents on these islands. Inagua is home to thousands of migratory flamingos, the national bird of The Bahamas, is 30 miles from the Turks and Caicos Islands.

There are no convoys of transfer trucks, EMS vehicles, or National Guard Helicopters providing as the United States or other developing countries would have.
