Much of the Bahamas is low lying. Highest point is on Cat Island -- 207 feet.
The pic I saw of The Mud looked like thenwholemof it, which is right on the coast, was 1-2' above sea level.
There was also a cay off of Grand Bahama that has a fishing village and it's only 5' above sea level. There was a ferry sent there to evacuate the residents, but 5 men stayed behind to ride it out. I don't think they had a chance. :(
On the other hand a lost little poodle made it through the storm and showed up at the command and control center today, and someone went door to door on Guana Cay (Abacos) and everyone was accounted for.
