Floodwaters and debris damaged homes and businesses in West End, Grand Bahama, as Hurricane Matthew, a category four storm, ripped through the island on Thursday night

Christie pointed out that Hurricane Joaquin, which hit parts of The Bahamas in 2015, was estimated to cause $100 million in damage. He said the damage caused by Matthew is likely much greater.

“Enormous damage has been inflicted on thousands of Bahamians who were not so affected in such numbers by Hurricane Joaquin,” said Christie at the National Emergency Management Agency headquarters.

He said the exigency orders will cover building materials, furniture and vehicles.
