Great Guana Cay Foundation was formed due to Hurricane Dorian on September 1, when the eye of Hurricane Dorian made landfall on the Abaco Islands with maximum sustained winds of 185 mph (295 km/h), making it the strongest hurricane on record to affect the Bahamas.
After 36 hours of battering the island, Hurricane Dorian left families homeless and virtually destroyed the land. Rains and storm surge 18-23 feet above sea level forced evacuation and initially affected relief efforts and communication. Hurricane Dorian knocked out the power, water, telecommunications, and sewage service in the Abacos.
Hurricane Dorian slammed into Great Guana Cay and created devastation beyond words and photos.
