A fresh storm could soon hit the Bahamas. 

It’s feared that Tropical Depression Nine will turn into a tropical cyclone by Monday. 

It comes less than two weeks after Hurricane Dorian ripped through parts of the island nation, killing dozens and leaving more than a thousand missing. 

Heavy rains and strong winds are already sweeping through the Bahamas.
