1. Dorian survivors tell stories
As Hurricane Dorian continues to make an impact all over the world, citizens of the Bahamas are telling stories of their dealings with the natural disaster.
“I don’t feel safe,” a resident told CNN’s Anderson Cooper. “I don’t see the authorities around. They say that they have, but I honestly don’t see them. There’s a lot of death that’s around us. It’s a lot of chaos.”
The death toll in the Bahamas is currently at 20, as the Hurricane has a category two status.

2. Jeep owner explains himself
Hurricane Dorian has also affected the Carolinas, as both North and South Carolina have been hit. In South Carolina, Charleston was struck with dangerous wind and rain, causing thousands of locals to lose power. A man in Myrtle Beach, located 90 miles south of Charleston, decided to leave his Jeep on the sand of a beach. The man, who requested to remain anonymous, explained what happened to WMBF,
“This morning he thought it would be cool to go on the beach and take a quick video of the sunrise before the storm came…I guess there’s that runoff there and he didn’t realize it was in front of him, he was looking out the window when he went off and got stuck.”
The man’s cousin apparently tried to get assistance with towing the vehicle off the beach, but was unsuccessful because of the weather conditions.
3. ‘I tried to get it in the eye.’
Tribune News ServiceAn 8-year-old boy from Colorado survived a near-death experience with a Mountain Lion. The child, Pike Carlson, talked about the encounter this week, a month after the horrifying experience in his backyard.
Pike and his older brother were casually playing on the trampoline when the younger Pike heard one of his friends yell a warning to him from a nearby house. The lion subsequently went after him and nearly killed him.
Pike’s father, Ron Carlson, came to his son’s aid and scared off the lion.
“His head was inside the lion’s mouth and I watched and I think that’s what made me snap inside, just watching him chew on him,” Ron Carlson told the station.
Doctors had to reattach Pike’s left eye after the attack, closing wounds on his head with 60 staples.
