highway 3 to see trees torn clean out of their place dumped in the middle of the highway, highways turned into rivers, wind turbine with their propellers torn off. staggering devastation. that is all heart rendering to see, but then there's a boring and important job now beginning, people in the center of the streets here, just waking up and wondering how do we get back to where we were 24 hours ago. poppy? >> indeed, how do we get back to where we were. nick, thank you for the reporting. we appreciate it very, very much. a lot of questions this morning, where is this storm going next and what is the next storm that may hit? let's go to chad myers in the cnn weather center for the latest. so, with maria? >> it is going to the turks and caicos next. but not before it really takes a glancing blow, a lashing blow, at the dominican republic. here's the north shore of the d.r. we have a reporter right there, polo sandoval. we'll get to him in a second.
