Whether it will hit the u. S. Mainland. What do we know, allison. Well, we just dpot the brandnew update in at the top of the hour and it has actually increased a little bit in wind strength. Winds right now 125mileperhour. That is only fivemileperhour off from a category 4 storm. Theyre gusting upwards of 150 miles per hour. Now, the track over the next couple of days will continue to take it out over the open atlantic towards the United States. The ultimate question is how close does it actually get . At this point in time here were going to take it out to thursday. This is one week from today. You can see at this point a direct u. S. Landfall does not necessarily look very likely, but with that said, there are still expected to be impacts from this particular storm because, look, all of the models, they do get close enough, and thats the key right there. Basically from an area from North Carolina all the way up towards maine we could being looking at impact, coastal flooding, beach erosion as well as gusty winds. And the immediate areas of concern are where . The immediate areas, its going to be places like still puerto rico. We still have some of the outer bands that are impacting areas of puerto rico, albeit the heaviest pands of rain are currently over the Dominican Republic. The problem for railroad puerto rico is look at the amount of rain theyve already had. These are comparable from hurricane harvey. And garcia picking up almost 38 inches of rain. In some of these areas they picked this up in less than 36 hours. So its no surprise all of puerto rico is currently under a Flood Warning or a flash Flood Warning. But again, we also have to push it forward, because as we mentioned, the Dominican Republic and the turks and caicos are going to be in the threat for that heavy rain in the next 24 hours. Thats incredible that all of puerto rico is either in under threat for a flood or a flash Flood Warning. Thats just remarkable on top of that theyre all without power. Yes. It is a rater to have an entire island or even an entire state for that matter to be under Something Like that, but i think it just go z to show the perspective of just how much rain fell in such a short amount of time. And its still coming down. Appreciate that. More on maria in a few minutes. Now we want to go to mexico, though. The hard reality is also becoming clearer there. The death toll now approaching 300 pass cruz pull more bodies from the quake are you able and survivors as well. Rescues happening around the clock. In addition, some welcome news in that collapsed school where so many children lost their lives. Turns out no little girl was trapped. Authorities late today said all children whether they survived or not have now been accounted for. He joins us now from mexico city. Do we know why there was confusion around whether or not there were survivors trapped . Was it just the disorganization of the effort . Its hard to say, anderson. That seems to be kind of what the leading cause is. Youve got to remember a lot of these collapsed buildings are spread out in pockets throughout this massive city and each one of these locations there are different groups of people. The volunteers, mexican army, mexican navy, also rescue teams that are deploying themselves into these situations. So perhaps all of that lends into the chaos. Today we were up close into one of these rescue efforts in one of the more popular neighborhoods here in the heart of mexico city. The search for survivors is not over. Bringing aides of civilian volunteers swarm this mexico city neighborhood more than two days after the earthquake. This was a sevenstory building that collapsed and right now they believe that there is a man trapped inside of a car right underneath that heavy machinery over there. Military officials believe there were 12 people inside this building when it crumble to the ground. Mexican army general is overseeing rescue operations at this scene. He says seven out of the 12 people have been pulled out of the are you able, but only two have survived. And right now its an urgent search for a man named row better oh. They dropped the microphone into the space and theyre using an amp fire to hear his voice, he tells us. We think hes there. And after a moment of silence the workers erupt in a loud cheer. The reason you heard the workers here is because they had made contact. They heard the voice of the man believed to be trapped inside the car. So they were celebrating that one brief moment in hopes that they will be able to pull him out alive. These rescue efforts are supported by a largely kbroe viezed system created by thousands of volunteers. This supply station was opened in the middle of a row tunda and theres a feverish frenzy in the air. A private bus company loads dozens of volunteers to take them away. People have shown up here in this square in the heart of mexico city. This bus is going to the state of of which needs a lot help. All of these people have volunteered to jump on these buses to go help and they have no idea when theyre coming back to mexico city. And when the bus pulls away headed on its mission, the crowd cheers. Across mexico the urgency to move mounds of are you able is relentless. They feel that each piece they move by hand brings them one inch closer toe saving a life. As you said, ed, so much of this is spread out. Do we know how rescue efforts are going in other parts of the city . Reporter well, the mexican president said that they believe there are about ten locations left where they believe last we heard there has been noable to get to that person as of yet. So still unclear how that situation was going to turn out. But, you know, these rescue operations and these volunteer efforts just absolutely mess measurizing all over the city. As you see, all of these people turn out to these sites, many of them wearing hard hats and oftentimes it feels like in this situation that anyone with a hard hat feels like theyre the boss of a particular space here in the city. So that kind of adds to the chaos of what were seeing around the city and around the country. And, ed, just in terms of, you know, the kind of expertise that they youre seeing a dog there thats being used, could be a dog looking for live people, could also be a cadaver dog. Theyre both specialized working dogs. Do they have enough specialized people . I know rescue cruz have come from probably all over the world at this point. Reporter the team from california that the u. S. Embassy toll us was arriving here today and in that particular location that we were at we saw a combination of mexican army, mexican navy, federal police, as well as Mexico City Police working inside in that more immediate area of where that rescue operation was taking place. So, yes, but its hard to kind of sense that theres some sort of like central, organized committee that is organizing and dispatching all of these rescue teams. It seems like in each one of these locations the efforts are kind of kbroe viezed, some officially, some unofficially. Appreciate you being there. Thank you. What goes into all the things youve been seeing. Joining us now is joanna heritage head trainer at the search dog foundation. Thanks so much for being with us. The dogs that we see, as i said, i mean, some, and correct me if im wrong here, some are specifically for finding people who are alive and some for finding people who are deceased s is that correct . Thats true. But im not sure which dogs are out there working right now and whether the big question to ask is have these dogs been certified, these dog teams, both the hand her and the dog to a National Standard or are they just deploying. And so im not sure who is working the site that youre looking at right now. Also, the difficulty i know with bomb sniffing dogs the difficulty is overusing them, that they get tired out in terms of their sense of smell. They can only be used for short periods of time of time and had he need rest. Is that the same with these kind of search dogs. I wouldnt say short periods of time. I mean, it certainly depends on how warm it is outside, how humid it is, things like that. But in the environment that in mexico city right now, i would think that they could do some good work. Certainly an hour if not more. These dogs are so highly driven and theyre conditioned to believe that the person in that are you able thats trapped has their toy. And these dogs are over the top toy driven. So that is what motivates them. And frankly, the good search dogs, we have to hold them back. I mean, thats all they want to do ask go run up on the are you able and find that inaccessible live human scent and theyre trained specifically to ignore did he ceased victims and just to focus on live and to just do a sustained bark alert where that odor is coming out of the are you able. This is a dumb question, but what does a what is the smell that they are particularly looking for with a living person . Is it sweat or breath. Its breath. So its the respirations. And that is the distinguishing odor. But, you know, in addition to that, theres biological changes that happen immediately once a person is deceased. Right. And so thats not what theyre looking for. Its the actual smell of breath its not the sound of somebodys breathing. Its actually the smell of the breath. Thats correct. And its actually a whole scent plume is coming off of that person that is alive, as well as dead. Even if theyre buried very beneath are you able. Yes. Now, it comes more complex how that plume comes out and how many twists and turns. Its going to follow the concrete and its going to come up through a breach in that concrete and keep track and until it goes up in the daytime. If its hot outside and the sun is out, heat rises and at night as we get further into the evening, it starts to fall. So those dogs will be working a lot from the bottom because the scent is going to start dropping and apology in low areas. You know i went out with an l. A. Search and rescue team in port aprince. It was stunning how many hours theyre work on the ground a site and the one i was on they were trying to find a little girl whose mother said she was still alive underneath the are you able. They worked for hours and hours. They had a dog. They had listening devices and still it was very hard for them to tell, they think they heard a girls voice and then toward the end after many, many hours they didnt get any more sign and the dog wasnt signaling anymore. Are you surprised by the sort of fog of war aspect to this that were seeing in mexico city . You know, there was the report that there were children still trapped alive underneath that school and then that just seemed to today we learned thats actually not the case, that everybody has been accounted for . Im not surprised. It happens every time. Youve got well intentioned people that have been working around the clock. Theyre fatigued. Theyre hopeful. And, you know, they hear things, and its just its just what happens. But thats why, you know, you can spend a lot of time in an area that theres no hope right there right now. And the dogs, i mean, the dogs dont have that. You know, they are conditioned that this is the scent and the odor that gets me what i want and there is no false influence there. Certainly you have vary answers in abilities and training and exposure, but its not a false read. And theyre the only ones that thats the only tool that we have out there that can find somebody that is unresponsive. Right. Its incredible. They cant always answer back. They cant always tap when you ask them to. And, you know, we know at this hour and as many days as were in that, you know, theyre thirsty, their mouth is full of powder and concrete and dust and dirt and hollering out is the last thing they can do. I had no idea it was breath that they were responding to. Seasona, i appreciate your expertise on this. Its really fascinating and lets hope theres more people that these dogs are find. Thank you so much. Up next, weve got some of the first video of the destruction from Hurricane Maria on the island of dominica. Our team arrived there today. The devastation as you can see dramatic.

The storm is intensifying taking aim at new targets. Right now turks ask kaye kos. That is after pounding puerto rico and dumping more than three feet of rain on some areas. This drone video gives you a look at what the u. S. Territory is facing tonight. Millions on the island are in the dark. He joins me from san juan. Nick, whats the latest there . Reporter anderson, this is the first night weve had since taking in the damage that was first visible at dawn this morning. A day without power, the first potentially as long as four to six months without electricity here. And of course, that is changed how people view the months here, how they go to work, school, what kind of health care is available to them. Simply the amount of knowledge that they have here in terms of their cell phones not working. They hope the airport may open tomorrow and also how fast were the winds that ripped through here at san juan. That was 155mileperhour. But here is some of the imz we saw yesterday and today about the level of destruction. 30 hours on and this is what maria embrace of puerto rico has left. This was not a world built on water, but its become that. Waves in the roads, wet feet and slow moving the new normal. The drive from where we saw maria make landfall in the east to the capital san juan along highway 3 is a testament to how vicious nature was in setting life back here. Paradise lost for years, likely. Hold close what you still have. An eternty of downed power cables, explaining why it may take six months to restore power. They took hope too. Even the finz torn clean off these wind turbines. Communities shredded entirely. And as we approach san juan, the roads turn into rivers, forcing many to turn back. People are trying to get back to normal here, but really everything has changed. No electricity for months ahead means changes in jobs, schooling, health care, a whole new way of life potentially this island has to get used to. Even the bright paint cannot hide the misery maria brought. Its name means the pearl where a music video was shot bringing recent fame. But now everything but concrete is damaged in this fishing village. He hopes the promise of aid will bring his old world back. Its incredible, he says, by the cliff. But i believe in god. We can do anything with the help of god. Nick, in terms of air travel, you said the airport may open tomorrow . Reporter that is the hope, obviously there appears to have been some damage there. This is a constantly fluid situation. Its vital to get that air strip running. The assistance people need to have. But also that has also been quite heavily hit and will need assistance. So a lot of people hoping for aid to start coming in here, but youve got to bear in mind this is the first day people have had to take stock of how awful maria has been to this island and how their daily lives will change quite substantially. Thats extraordinary. Thank you. Just after the storm hit the mayor of san juan saw the damage in her city and was understandably emotional. Im 54 years old. Ive never seen devastation like this one. Its the human spirit is going to have to rise up real high, and im sure we have the strength to do it, but we have to find it within ourselves. So people are going to have to push on. Theyre going to have to change their frame of mind. The puerto rico and the san juan that we knew yesterday is no longer there. No long there. Just before air time i spoke with mayor cruz. Mayor cruz, you said earlier that puerto rico and san juan, the puerto rico and san juan you knew yesterday is no longer there. Thats an incredible statement. You really feel that the city you know, the city you love is no longer there . Not only do i feel it, but since last night at 6 00 when about 200 crew members of the municipal employees went into the streets and as were doing today, we are seeing a totally different san juan. The resilience of the people is the same. A lot of people saying were going to make it. Were going to push on, but the landscape is just disastrous. It is a devastation like i never seen before, which has brought out the solidarity spirit that we have forgotten. I was telling somebody today that if were going to reunderstand and reconstruct, which we have to do, we ought to do it with the appropriate priorities. And we ought to use this opportunity to change the conversations that were having and the way that we deal and handle one another. But mr. Cooper, what im more worried about is that the manpower and the woman power is not enough. You noo he had that help. You need that federal help. You need as much help from the outside as possible. We need the help from the outside world. I am very grateful that the first help has come from new york and from houston, particularly to the city of san juan. Weve got a 1,264 refugees. By tonight we only have 425. Were having, mr. Cooper, what i call the urban refugees. People that arent at home, theyre elderly. They dont have their insulin. They have lost their heart medication. Theyve lost their Blood Pressure medication. And if we dont get to them in time, it is those that i cannot get to that really worry me the most. Yeah, because its not just people obviously who are in hospitals, some hospitals right now have back up generators, though obviously thats not an ideal situation. Its people, as you say, who need just regular dialysis, who are able to live at home but need dialysis. They need regular access to prescription drugs. Its often those people who are hit the hardest at a t
