![]() ![]() I read everything I could get my hands on about both hurricanes. ![]() And the history books I had at my disposal (Michael Craton's 1968 edition of A History of The Bahamas and Paul Albury's 1975 The Story of The Bahamas) mentioned an earlier hurricane, one from 1866, which also devastated Nassau. I knew about the 1929 hurricane, of course my grandmothers' generation had survived it, and they would tell us stories of the bad old days when hurricanes came along every year and pass directly over Nassau. The essay required me to delve into the science behind hurricanes, and also sent me to the archives in search of the impact of hurricanes on The Bahamas. ![]() When I was 17, I wrote an extended essay on the subject. Anyone who has grown up with me knows that I'm not a person to take hurricanes lightly. ![]()
