Blind Bahamas man carried his disabled son to safety as Hurricane Dorian raged

[sheshe2]

Lowe, speaking from Nassau, said he was huddled in his house with his son, his sister-in-law, other relatives and some neighbors while the storm pounded Abaco. Then the roof came off.

“At that time it was raining and raining hard,” he said. “So I picked him up, threw him on my shoulder and when I stepped off my porch, my front porch, the water was chin high, up to my chin. … We all had to walk out into the water and into the wind to the neighbor’s house.”

It was at least a five-minute walk, he said, but felt much longer. They finally made it to the neighbor’s house, where he and his son stayed until they could be taken to a shelter, he told the New York Times.

Now, having been evacuated to Nassau, Lowe says he’s receiving the dialysis treatment he needs to stay alive. His son, meanwhile, is being cared for by his sister-in-law, he said.

“He is with her right now,” Lowe said. “I really hope to get in contact with him because I really miss him. I want to see him.”

Then looked it up. Amazing that he was able to shoulder his 24 year old
son and carry him in neck deep water in high winds and torrential rain. ....while blind.
