(CNN)As the Grand Celebration cruise ship sailed away from the Bahamas on a humanitarian mission carrying nearly 1,500 hurricane evacuees, Ceva Seymour looked back at the hundreds of desperate Bahamians left behind at Freeport Harbour.
"It was difficult for me to see that other people couldn't get on the ship who probably needed to be there more than me," Seymour, 56, said after arriving in Florida with more than a dozen of her cousins and grandchildren.
Seymour, her relatives and all those who stayed behind are among the 70,000 people thrust into homelessness on Grand Bahama and the Abaco Islands by the strongest hurricane ever to hit the archipelago nation of about 390,000 residents.

They are going to have a very rough time for the next few years in the Bahamas. Like most Caribbean islands there simply is nothing there to build with.
I’ve been to Caribbean countries a couple of times. It always makes me sad. These people can’t build a decent society. Slums and over population just about everywhere. Then something tragic happens and they say, “Well, hurry up — come and fix us.”
Yeah, let’s let them all pile in here, go on welfare and vote Rat. What could go wrong?
It’s not who we are to deny any third-worlder a wonderful life.
The Bahamas are 90 % black and 4% white, but most of those whites (Conchy Joes; slang for historical whites) live (or not...) on Abaco Island.
Readying them for shipment to the Queen, we hope.
Yeppers. I posted a thread this morning that we, the US, brought in 1,100 of them. They won’t be leaving once they signed up for all those freebies.
All England has done for THEIR Commonwealth is to send a letter of condolences from Elizabeth. What’s worse, England isn’t going to lift a finger because the Bahamas is considered to be too rich to warrant any aid.
Why do we always have to clean up the world’s messes? We’re chumps. Elizabeth must be smiling over her high tea.
The Bahamas is not a poor country. I expect they’ll be back fairly soon after a stint in the slums of Florida.

They will, however, find Florida’s cities lower-crime than their home towns.

Further info on that thread. The Queen isn’t helping them.
I guess that’s what gets to me, here too. Kids having kids who then do the same.
I find it completely fascinating the few who say, “I want a better life & no kids until I can care for them.”
Plenty of islands in the Bahamas. Why don’t they disperse them there?
I’m not opposed to helping out, but if they come here, THEY HAVE TO GO BACK.
Waiting for a boat to the UK. Where is the aid from the UK?
Plus the people have no money.
Britians problem.
They would be good DemocRats.
I can only imagine that when the time is ‘right’, England will say we interfered with their efforts and it is all our fault...
Oh yeah, that cane was supposed to hit Florida and didn’t.
SO, the US must have done something to divert it.
once again the white supremacists have to step up and help
