A toddler returns to his Florida preschool after being stuck in the Bahamas during Hurricane Dorian—and his classmates couldn't be more overjoyed to see him.
A 3-year-old boy was welcomed back with a warm embrace by his classmates in Florida after riding out deadly Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas.
Capron, 22, and Makai had planned on traveling over Labor Day weekend to visit family in the Bahamas, where Capron was born and lived until she was 19."Everyone [in South Florida] was going crazy preparing for the storm," Capron, 22, told"Good Morning America.""We had to rush to the airport and there were huge lines at gas stations."
Hurricane Dorian slammed into the Bahamas on Sept. 1, making landfall as a Category 5, with 183 mph buzzsaw-like winds cutting a wide swath of destruction and killing at least 50 people. Capron's grandparent's house withstood the storm, but it was flooded and they lost nearly everything, including most of their clothes and Makai's toys.When Capron told Makai that some people, including children, were trapped after the hurricane, Makai put on a Spiderman costume that survived the storm and offered to help.
They were greeted in Palm Beach by strangers with water and food and clothing and even Lyft drivers offering free rides.
