One of the most disturbing things I have seen on #GrandBahama which shows you the many layers of despair survivors face.

Today we also reached the @Equinor oil facility #Dorian ripped apart.

The company tells @cbsnews it “has not identified any oil on beaches” or “observed leakage of oil from our terminal to the sea.”

Our fourth @CBSNews report from on the ground in Grand Bahama.

Talking to people in #Dorian’s wake - seeing the extent of the devastation.

Thanks to @AlexanderMPena for filming/producing + @AnisahJabar in NY for making sure we made air.

Update: @Equinor announces today, “We will clean up the Bahamas oil spill.”

Here’s their statement -

Right now @CBSNews is embedded with @MiamiDadeFire + @CityofMiamiFire which offered rescue/recovery assistance to the Bahamas.

We are about to distribute aid to Grand Bahama island’s easternmost points.

I understand why faith is getting so many families through the unimaginable horror of having missing loved ones, a full week after #Dorian.

And why everyone is so thankful for help in search and recovery efforts.
