Officials say 1,300 people are still listed as missing nearly two weeks after Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas. At least 50 people were killed by the storm.
The number of missing in the Bahamas following Hurricane Dorian has dropped significantly, to 1,300, providing a bit of rare good news in one of the nastiest storms the archipelago has ever faced.
The government said Wednesday the number of missing stood at about 2,500, but"after cross-referencing databases," officials revised the tally down to 1,300, National Emergency Management Agency spokesman Carl Smith said Thursday. The higher number was preliminary, with some names not yet confirmed against government records, Smith had said Wednesday. Dorian flattened homes after it made landfall September 1, killing at least 50 people, officials said.
