I seem to recall that Nathan Bain is from The Bahamas.... l would like to send best regards to him and his family. Hopefully they are in Nassau and were spared the brunt of the storm.

Nate is from Freeport. My SFA hat led us to meet a guy that knows Nate. We had stopped in Freeport on a cruise last year.

I believe that area (Freeport) received some damage. Not the most significant damage but still heavy.

Freeport and Grand Bahama Island got the worst damage. Nassau was basically spared. The hurricane stalled directly over Freeport. 20-foot flooding. Thousands have lost everything. Thousands with no drinking water.

That's a very disappointing number. Very disappointing. My understanding is that his family lost their home, their school, and their church.

Bumping this one again with hope that Nathan's Lumberjack family will come through. So far, very disappointing.

Over $77k now. If you want to feel better about the world, read the comments from some of the donors. There are a lot of self proclaimed Duke supporters giving.

Donations are beginning to taper off. The total is around $131,000 now. The Bain family has said that the funds will be used to rebuild the church and school, with any remaining money going to the needy in their community. The Bains had insurance on their home.

Over $135k now. Donations still coming in. One of the comments:

"As a Kentucky Wildcat fan my whole life, it gave me great pleasure to see Duke lose. It is a greater pleasure, however, to help you and your family recover from the hurricane. You are an inspiration to so many! Stay strong and win many more basketball games. You have already won at the game of life!"

At the gym this morning, I looked up and saw Fox Business doing the story. Yep, got chills watching The Play from The Game. Better than caffeine.

Who knows how much insurance will pay in the Bahamas. Even here insurance is great until you need a claim paid!

Only made about $6K today. Only.

Almost three months and got 2K. Even if it peters out of the next couple of days, what an incredible way this turned out.

Great article. Lots of info that I did not know. It'll be interesting to see if the funds can be used to rebuild the church.
