And now, Preston and Steve's news updates with Kathy Romano.

Today is Friday, September 6th. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning in the news this morning. As aid begins to arrive in the Bahamas, we've learned,

the Hurricane Dorian death toll is now at 30. Homes have been destroyed and people are carrying

their belongings in plastic bags. A few hundred people gathered at the partly flooded Leonard

M. Thompson Airport in hopes of getting a seat on one of the small planes, picking up the most

vulnerable survivors, including the sick, elderly, and pregnant women.

However, the evacuation was slow, and there was frustration for some who said that there was nowhere to go after the Category 5 storm tore through the area,

shattering whole neighborhoods.

The United Nations announced the purchase of eight tons of ready-to-eat meals and said it will provide satellite communication equipment and airlift storage units,

generators, and prefab offices to set up logistic hubs.

A British Royal Navy ship distributed supplies to hurricane survivors.

On Grand Bahama, a Royal Caribbean cruise ship dropped off 10,000 meals, 10,000 bottles of water

and more than 180 generators as well as diapers and flashlights.

American Airlines said it flew a Boeing 737 from Miami to

NASA to drop off 14,000 pounds of relief supplies. The airline is also giving frequent

flyer points to customers who donate at least $25 to the Red Cross. Now our area in no way is

being hit by this hurricane, but we'll see some effects from it passing by well off of the coast.

Lots of clouds, blustery winds, especially in the afternoon and evening, an occasional rain

shower.

The high will be about 72.
