Bimini and Hurricane Matthew, any news?

Just curious if anyone know how the people and island are doing after what I assumed was a direct hit by Matthew?

Here is a link to the Bahamas info about the storm, http://www.bahamas.com/storms . Seems like the island of New Providence (Nassau) and Grand Bahamas (Freeport) had the worst damage.

Here is a quote from the link,
We are cognizant that we are a blessed nation because we took quite a lashing from such a powerful category four hurricane and received no loss of life or widespread destruction. We would like to extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers for all the residents of The Bahamas who have been affected by the storm," said Joy Jibrilu, Director General of Tourism for The Islands Of The Bahamas.
