Damages. Johnson johnson, motivated by greed is responsible for the Opioid Epidemic in our state. Its the first time a court has held a Pharmaceutical Company accountable for the Opioid Crisis and a sign for opioid makers and distributors targeted in Massive National lawsuits set to start trial in ohio in october. There are thousands of lawsuits that are still pending, there are thousands of governments that are sued. Theres still lots of liability a billion dollars and oklahoma is a fairly small state in terms of population. So when you look at all of the other states that have sued, all the other localities that have sued, you are talking about billions and billions of dollars that likely are going to be found at the pharmaceutical companies will have to pay. Cnns alexandra field has more from the courthouse in norman, oklahoma. Reporter indeed, christine, this is, indeed, a historic ruling. Oklahoma is the first state to bring to trial a Pharmaceutical Company alleging that Johnson Johnson fueled the Opioid Crisis in this state through misleading marketing with prescription drugs. The judge has decided that Johnson Johnson must pay the state 572 million, that will go towards programs to prevent and treat opioid addiction. He affirmed the states position that Johnson Johnson has created a public nuisance through its misleading marketing of two drugs costing the state billions of dollars and devastating thousands of lives. One oklahoma man who testified during the eightweek trial about the loss of his son to an opioid overdose says the ruling is about long sought accountability. This is a case that will be studied throughout the country. There are dozens of other states that would like to do what oklahoma has now done and this fall there will be a federal trial involving a couple thousand claims from cities, counties and municipalities all of which want to see pharmaceutical companies responsible for contributing to the Opioid Epidemic. For its part Johnson Johnson says they plan to appeal the ruling immediately. They say that their pain killers are needed for Pain Management and treatment. They say they have followed all state and federal laws. They believe there are a number of grounds on which they can appeal and they insist that they have been made a scapegoat in what is a larger social problem. Dave, christine.

Tropical storm dorian here a very compact storm that will be impacting portions of st. Lucia, martinique and potentially the highland of his pa nola. Any sort of interaction, whether it be a small island or larger one in its path plays a role to what is left of this storm and what its eventual impact could be farther down the line. We do have Tropical Storm watches in place from puerto rico towards the u. S. Virgin islands, and farther towards the south we do have Tropical Storm warnings in place with winds approaching 45 to 65 Miles Per Hour but of course stronger gusts over the next couple days. A brief window in place over the next 36 hours for this to potentially get up to category 1. Beyond that of course larger islands that could disrupt the flow of the storm system, also additional wind shear, but a little dry air to deal with as well. A lot of rain is going to be the story at this point. We are going to watch this as we approach this weekend. Thank you for that.
