The latest news from around the world. This is a concern for so many people. Its a concern because a week ago when they saw the 6. 4 fore shock, we thought that was a major earthquake. That was just, as will put it, a precursor to the major earthquake. But buildings that were compromised or unstabilized or destabilized from that particular shot, are worried about their homes and the potential for collapse. Thats why this picture, of what looks to be a family, or people gathered in the streets, who are trying to sleep, are staying away from their shelters or their homes. Theyre worried that there could be more collapse. We are seeing aftershocks to the tune of dozens of them. Want to point out this particular feature. The earthquake, a primary focus across the island. Lots of people go there to trek. Indeed, in the fore shock that happened a week ago, there were trekkers. It took them days to bring them down. Little, by, l lby little. It is an active volcano. We see that the seismic act
weakening, as predicted, becoming less organized, as the hours and minutes wear on. 2 220-mile-per-kilometer sustained winds. only 200 kilometers separate the storm from the coastline of vietnam. lit veer away from the coastline, but they re still feeling the impacts with heavy rains and gusty winds and that includes the danang region, the storm is forecast to continue to weaken, just skirting the southern coastline of china. that s near the hanon island, eventually into the early parts of the workweek for hong kong and out to sea before it dissipates near taiwan, bringing showers to that particular region, by the middle of the week. this is good news, because the storm is going to be on this continued weakening trend over the next 36 to 48 hours, but we still have to contend with a very blustery sunday across the coastal areas of vietnam. monday and tuesday, from haiku
the injured carried one by one to this waiting coast guard chopper. in marsh harbour, we saw first-hand the hospital clinic that has become a makeshift shelter. every hallway is full. outside, destruction as far as the eye can see. families struggling to even walk through the wreckage. it s been a harrowing 72 hours since dorian s eye passed directly over us, decimating most of this island and knocking out communications. as the abc teams left the abaco islands on choppers late tuesday, we saw the massive scale of the destruction. we can see how hurricane dorian has absolutely flattened this entire island. dorian s winds tied for the second-strongest on record in the atlantic. this is what those 220-mile-per-hour wind gusts sounded like as dorian made landfall. the storm surge of at least 20 feet. we re on the third floor and the
ways still have not had contact with the outside world. nobody knows they are alive and they re running short if they have water and any sort of supplies. so we joined on day two of the u.s. customs border protection reference flights out to the devastated areas. this is great abaco here. we were with the air and marine operations unit that just, as they flew over, looked down, and saw people waving, and so the only way to really get there, because there is so much debris in the water, is to get there by helicopter. you can t get there by boat. they set down and we met the harris family. the harris family who had survived the 220-mile-per-hour winds, the incredible category 5 storm surge, and lost most of their home, but, thankfully, were alive. and among those at the harris family home, of course, were their children.
snail s pace. this is going to sit over the bahamas for several days as it continues its westward journey at only 7 miles per hour. and it s going to slow down even more if you can believe that. 220-mile-per-hour gusts. it s painful to watch this because those areas are going to get hit with 185-mile-per-hour winds for days. we re not just talking about a fleeting moment. we re talking about days of conditions like this. now the storm is going to continue its westward journey. it will eventually turn to the north. when that happens, that will mean everything. and the difference between florida getting hit with these extreme winds or not. now we are going to see impacts to the state of florida. how big those impacts are going to be, we don t know yet because we haven t seen that turn to the north. if this storm tracks farther to the west and the forecast models have been shifting farther to the west over the last 24 hours, that could mean stronger winds
