The Abaco Islands, south of the archipelago, have passed through the eye of the cyclone and have been hit by floods. "I, my child of four months, all the people of our building are stuck", reports a resident at the microphone of Europe 1. "The roof flew away.People tried to cross the street but the current is well too strong, "she says. "Some have managed to pass but others have been swept away by the water ... Pray for our island, I beg you!"
