Hurricane death toll in Bahamas at 30 as aid begins to land

Officials say the death toll from Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas has increased to 30

Officials said Thursday afternoon that more than 18 cm of rain had fallen in parts of Charleston.

Life-threatening storm surges and dangerous winds were possible in much of the coast of South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia, the National Weather Service said. Governors in the region declared states of emergency, closed schools, opened shelters, readied national guard troops and implored residents to take warnings seriously, as fresh images of the devastation wrought by the storm in the Bahamas earlier this week continued to circulate in the media.

In Kill Devil Hills, in North Carolina's Outer Banks, Mark Jennings decided to ignore the order, lining his garage door with sandbags and boarding up his home with plywood.
