BY MEG KINNARD Associated Press CHARLESTON, S.C. — Hur- ricane Dorian raked the Carolina coast with howling, win- dow-rattling winds and sideways rain Thursday, spinning off tor- nadoes and knocking out power to more than 200,000 homes and businesses as it pushed north- ward toward the dangerously ex- posed Outer Banks. Leaving at least 20 people dead in its wake in the Bahamas, Dorian swept past Florida on Wednesday at a relatively safe distance, grazed Georgia over- night and then began hugging the South Carolina coastline with more serious effects. It was a Category 2, blowing at 110 mph — a far cry from the Cat- egory 5 that mauled the Bahamas, but still dangerous — and about 1 million people were warned to evacuate in the Carolinas. “Get to safety and stay there,” North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said. “This won’t be a brush-by. Whether it comes ashore or not, the eye of the storm will be close enough to cause extensive dam- age in North Carolina.” At least two deaths were re- ported on the U.S. mainland, in Florida and North Carolina, both involving men who fell while get- ting ready for the storm.

And he thought he was next. Other children believed their parents had abandoned them. And some suffered physical symptoms because of their men- tal trauma, clinicians reported to investigators with a government watchdog. “You get a lot of ‘my chest hurts,’ even though everything is fine” medically, a clinician told investigators. The children would describe emotional symptoms: “Every heartbeat hurts,” or “I can’t feel my heart.” Children separated during the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance policy” last year, many already distressed in their home countries or by their journey, showed more fear, feelings of abandonment and post-traumatic stress symptoms than children who were not separated, accord- ing to a report Wednesday from the inspector general’s office in /AP the Department of Health and WILFREDO LEE Human Services.
