It’s been four years since Hurricane Dorian ripped across the Caribbean islands, yet some of the images from that storm still haunt me. As the team from CCN TV6 from Trinidad and Tobago landed in the Abaco islands, in northern Bahamas, we were met with a hot, putrid stench. There were no birds. There were no trees. The stress of working near places of death, infection, and continued conflict was gradually settling in. It was not my first assignment abroad during hurricane season in the Caribbean, but it was the first one for which I felt mentally unprepared.
