When Hurricane Dorian slammed into the northern Bahamas in 2019, the Category 5 storm caused nearly inestimable damage on a number of islands.There’s a growing consensus among scientists that climate change is making hurricanes stronger and more destructive. That’s very bad news for the Bahamas, a string of more than seven hundred low-lying islands stretching from Florida nearly down to Cuba, in the heart of what’s come to be known as “Hurricane Alley.”When we visited in late 2019, hurricane recovery was really just beginning, but we discovered that the Bahamas had found a ray of hope – specifically, a solar array – that can survive future hurricanes. And in the process, it may have important lessons for the rest of the world.
