God bless Duval.

Damn, that's like 200,000 dollars.

Plot twist: he’s sending them but then selling them for 10x what he paid
WontSomeonePleaseThinkOfTheChildren
I'm certain Carianne Luter - Social Media Producer - has won the Pulitzer so I'm sure this is 100% legit.

Send some Costco dogs too, they’re still only a $1.50, and I think that’s with a drink
TypicalJoe
Jesus im dumb, i thought meant pet dogs from costco to help people and cheer them up
ProperHomeless
You must have been thinking Target dogs

I was expecting it to end "100 generators for his 3 bed 2 bath condo" knowing my Floridian neighbors lol
FloridaLawyer
We did something great!
Shitnugget71
100 generators but only 1 gallon of fuel
iMagneto
Not bad kid
DignamWhenAskedaQuestion
i hope they actually get delivered to people in need
vintagebroad
Beats the hell out of thoughts and prayers
WC2ElectricBoogaloo
That is cool, BUT, devils advocate, will they have gasoline to run them. Maybe send a couple barrels of petrol down there too.
KaizerHammer
I just saw this on imgur but it was 50 generators.
PutThePRNDLinD
I think this is great...please don't let it be that he has a fuel distribution business in Freeport and plans on some serious price gouging.
williamtheconqueror
I'd rather have the option of buying one at 2x market value than none at all. FL man doesn't bother sending if he only makes what he paid
PietroBottero
Now all they need is gas

Who's gonna buy the fuel?
ShtPostOffice
Too bad theres no fuel there.
joechristo
With a stolen credit card
ChrisCopp
Hope he kept one for himself, next ones a comming
ChaoticSquid
If he can afford 100 of them in sure he'll be fine
lenonymes
If he can afford 100 of them I'm pretty sure he's already got a 45kw Generac at home lol.
NotADodgeBallCannon
Which one?
DenaliRaven
the next one
nabacular
THat's nice but they will also need fuel to run those generators

A woman came into my store today and bought $8300 worth of supplies to send the Bahamas. Pretty surprised at the time, but good on her.
ReturnOfActionCheese
Imagine how many rolls of paper towel he could have brought with that money
AlphaKenneyBody
Fuck people who do something nice because ‘we’ think it wasn’t nice enough

Or he could have bought just one nuke and saved everyone.

Wasted it all on generators. Shame, real shame

They could be paper towel generators.

Yeah but you cant EXACTLY throw these at people in a crowd i mean you could but cmon
YourUpstairsNeighbor
Ok but where are they going to get the gas for all of those now?
mailman7777777
They're electric generators...........
busboy78
Exactly!
fooboy
Propane is easy to transport. Dual fuel generators can support propane or gas.
whadupdalg
Florida man buys 1,000 gallons of gas to send to Bahamas
RunsNakedThroughSwamps
From their upstairs neighbor.
Jusmar
It's going to run off his virtue signals.
everyonelayingaroundmesnores
Also, how is he getting them there? I feel like transportation can't get it there for at least a few days
idontevenknowsillymonkey
Duh he e-mails them a copy of the receipt and the click and collect details for his local Costco.
Ha1f3vil
I have a feeling thats not a problem for someone buying 100 plus generators.
kgnzpfwws
This. 1000 times this. Widespread and total infrastructure loss makes generators almost useless. Solar panels and batteries are better here
bundleofwoodensticks
Ok, but what will they do for electricity and heat on the frigid Bahamian nights?
3P3references
Okay but where are they going to get the sun for those?
kgnzpfwws
After a storm, there is plenty of sun usually. Even if fuel is available, getting it around the islands is near impossible and gas pumps 1/2
kgnzpfwws
Run on power. Without electricity, they can’t pump the gas and destroyed roads prevent tankers from getting around.
3P3references
Right, but how do we get the sun for the panels to the island in the first place?
Tyrannotron
To be fair, the only report of this was someone on Facebook saying they saw it at Costco, who knows if it is true. I want to believe though.
DrKriegersClone
For all the shit America sometimes gets in the media, I have to say it's about the one place this kind of outsized generosity from some 1/
DrKriegersClone
2/ random dude is actually credible.
Tyrannotron
I'm not saying it didn't happen, just would like a better source than a random guy on FB before I completely believe that it did.
AmericanAdvocate
I'd like to remimd folks about the "Cajun Navy"
hwbobb55
He said that so they'd let him buy them. He's selling them later to whoever gets hit at 5x
dijital101
That was my thought.

Tyrannotron
That article lists the only source of the info as the same dude from Facebook who says he saw it happen.
LCDC
It’s on news channels in several states. Costco said they were $450 each and he also bought food to send
Tyrannotron
Everywhere I've seen it reported it's just the one guy from FB saying he saw it happen. Any link to CostCo confirming it?

Keep In mind that this is NOT a US territory. Not US governments responsibility to help. But they have offered.

From Wiki: The Bahamas became an independent Commonwealth realm in 1973 with Elizabeth II as its queen.
