The storm has also caused widespread destruction, with entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble and many buildings destroyed. The Bahamian government has reported that at least 2,000 homes have been destroyed, and many more are without power or water.

The United States has pledged to provide aid to the Bahamas, with President Donald Trump saying that the country will "do everything we can" to help.
