I read this article and shake my head at the B.S. being spoken. Grand Bahama will flood anytime a hurricane passes the island to the north. The north side of Grand Bahama from East to West is shallow bank, no more than 20ft deep all the way to Walkers Cay. Hurricane circulate in counterclockwise rotation which pushes the water from the shallow banks into the land. Our flooding was made much worse when Dorian stalled over Grand Bahama. So to be point blank on why the airport keeps flooding #1 The airport is extremely close to the very shallow north shore, #2. see first part of this post. Now to make it more resilient you will have to raise the foundation another ten or twelve feet. In reality one only needs to drive through the Gulf coast and see how they build. Most everything is built on piles at ten to twenty feet above ground level.
Thats the plunder loot pillage way of thinking. The government should not be rebuilding homes but rebuilding infrastructure and getting people back to work.
I agree Debbie, take the airport from them. What is wrong with the government, tell both the port and hutchinlson you got one week to get repairs/rebuild going or walk away from the property. We Bahamians are being held hostage in our own country. WTF
