Hurricane Dorian hit the coasts of South Carolina and North Carolina in the US on Thursday, then weakened to category 2, while in Bahamas, the territory most hit by that cyclone, assistance continues to arrive after being confirmed that the phenomenon already leaves 30 dead.

The health minister of the Caribbean archipelago, Duane Sands, today raised the death toll, although he said that number can continue to increase while more specialized personnel are sent to the Abacus and Grand Bahama islands, the most affected, as well as mobile refrigerated cameras for collect the bodies

On Thursday, a total of 80 people were rescued from Abacos by US Coast Guard forces and the National Emergency Management Agency and the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency.

The search and rescue tasks continue, while trying to reach the places devastated by the hurricane with an aid that accounts for drops due to the difficult access to the places, where it is estimated that there are 70,000 victims.

The Bahamas prime minister admitted that he will send additional police and defense forces to Abacos and Grand Bahama, as there have been cases of looting and looting after the disaster.

"Looting is taking place," he said at a press conference, adding that the new forces will maintain and seek to restore law and order.

Several artists, such as Rihanna, Lenny Kravitz and other public figures, have expressed themselves in the Bahamas situation, multiplying efforts so that the archipelago can emerge from a tragedy, which will face great challenges in its reconstruction.

Dorian, which crashed Bahamas with category 5, caused the worst devastation in the Caribbean country, causing structural damage to houses, avenues and the Freeport airport, the capital of Grand Bahama, with the exception of a terminal, and the maritime access ports on both that island and Abacos, which are not suitable for large vessels.

While Bahamas tries to alleviate the situation of its inhabitants, the powerful Dorian went to the Carolinas in the US, initially in category 3 and then weakened to have maximum sustained winds of 110 miles per hour (175 km / h).

Natural formation has moved north-west along the US coast, after leaving Florida and Georgia behind.

The cyclone, which will "slowly" reduce its strength in the coming days, moves at 8 miles per hour (13 km / h) and is expected to later turn northeast and increase speed by Friday.

The federal agency said it expects a turn to the northeast tonight, and for Friday a move to the northeast at a faster speed.

On the forecasted trajectory, downtown Dorian is expected to approach the coast of South Carolina today and move near or on the coast of North Carolina tonight and Friday.

While the National Hurricane Center monitors the trajectory of Dorian and his throbbing, fear loomed elsewhere in the Atlantic and Pacific, before the official hurricane season, with the advance of Fernand and Juliette.

Fernand, which degraded in the last few hours at low remaining pressure, and advanced through the state of Nuevo León in Mexico, maintained the attention of the Mexican Government that deployed 4,053 military personnel in accordance with the DN-III emergency plan in its prevention phase in the states of Coahuila, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas.

For its part, Hurricane Juliette degraded in the last hours to category 1 in Pacific waters and because of its remoteness from the coasts of western Mexico it no longer affects the country, the National Meteorological Service (SMN) reported Thursday.

"Hurricane Juliette category 1, is located to the west-southwest of the Baja California Peninsula. It continues to move away from Mexican coasts," the Meteorological said in its most recent bulletin, from 04.15 local time (09.15 GMT).

According to the NHC, another tropical storm, Gabrielle, is very poorly organized in the middle of the ocean and currently poses no threat.
