YOU'RE
YOU'RE LOOKING AT 35 NORTHBOUND AND HIGHWAY 97 UP
THERE IN THE NORTHEAST METRO.
>>> DEVELOPING THIS MORNING, A
POSSIBLE MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH IN
THE YOUTH VAPING EPIDEMIC THAT
PARENTS YOU'RE GOING TO
WARRANT TO KNOW ABOUT.
MORE THAN 360 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
HOSPITALIZED WITH 26 OF THOSE
CASE HAPPENING RIGHT NEAR IN
MINNESOTA AND IN OTHER STATES,
TWO PEOPLE HAVE EVEN DIED.
KIYA EDWARDS JOINS US FROM THE
NEWSROOM WITH WHAT COULD BE
CAUSING SO MANY PEOPLE TO GET
SICK.
SICK.
SICK. THIS COULD BE A GREAT
BREAKTHROUGH.
BREAKTHROUGH. >> IT COULD.
AS YOU KNOW, VAPING INVOLVES
SMOKING A LIQUID, eCIGARETTE
OR THC.
OR THC.
OR THC. NOW, HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY THEY
ARE FINDING VITAMIN E IN SOME
OF THE ONES WITH THC.
AND THAT COULD BE TO BLAME IN
AT LEAST SOME OF THE
ILLNESSES.
ILLNESSES. THIS INFORMATION IS COMING
FROM NEW YORK, WHERE 34 PEOPLE
HAVE GOTTEN SICK.
HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY THEY
FOUND VITAMIN E ACETATE IN
EXTREMELY HIGH LEVELS IN
ALMOST ALL OF THE LIQUID THC
SAMPLES THEY TESTED AND WHICH
PATIENTS HAD BEEN USING.
VITAMIN E IS HARMLESS AS A
PILL OR USED ON YOUR SKIN BUT
NOW THEY ARE INVESTIGATING ITS
IMPACT WHEN INHALED BECAUSE OF
ITS OIL-LIKE PROPERTIES.
>> IT DEPENDS ON WHAT'S INSIDE
THE LIQUID THAT'S GOING IN.
SO THE OIL HAS OTHER
CHEMICALS, FLAVORINGS, THAT
ARE -- THAT IS CONTAINED
WITHIN THE OIL THAT THEN CAN
COAT THE SURFACES OF THE LUNGS
AND CAUSE THESE INFLAMMATORY
CHARGES.
CHARGES.
CHARGES. >> Reporter: THE MINNESOTA
HEALTH DEPARTMENT SAYS ALL THE
27 CASES HERE HAVE INVOLVED
THC VAPING PRODUCTS.
BUT THEY ARE STILL IN THE
PROCESS OF ANALYZING WHAT
EXACTLY IS IN THOSE PROJECTS.
>> THANK YOU.
>>> RIGHT NOW WE'RE TAKING A
LIVE LOOK FROM SURF CITY,
NORTH CAROLINA.
NORTH CAROLINA. THERE'S STILL LOTS OF CLOUDS
OVERHEAD.
OVERHEAD.
OVERHEAD. THE RAIN IS FALLING AND SOME
WIND AS HURRICANE DORIAN
BRUSHES UP AGAINST THE COAST
THIS MORNING AS A CATEGORY 1
STORM.
STORM.
STORM. BUT BEFORE IT WEAKENED, IT
DRENCHED THE COAST LEAVING
FLOODING.
FLOODING.
FLOODING. RIGHT NOW MORE THAN 250,000
PEOPLE IN PARTS OF THE
CAROLINAS ARE IN THE DARK.
PEOPLE THERE ARE STILL BRACING
FOR THE WORST.
AND SVEN HAS BEEN TRACKING
THIS HURRICANE FOR THE LAST
WEEK AT LEAST.
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE
PEOPLE IN THOSE AREAS TODAY?
>> WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
DORIAN FOR A WHILE, BUT THIS
IS THE LAST OF HURRICANE
DORIAN AT LEAST.
BUT IT IS BATTERING THE OUTER
BANKS OF NORTH CAROLINA.
IT IS CURRENTLY CATEGORY 1
STRENGTH SO IT HAS WEAKENED
CONSIDERABLY HERE OVER THE
LAST SEVERAL DAYS.
BUT RIGHT ALONG THE OUTER
BANKS OF NORTH CAROLINA, JUST
SOUTH OF HATTERAS, THE EYE
WALL, REACHING THE NORTH
CAROLINA COAST THERE.
90-MILE-PER-HOUR WINDS RIGHT
NOW REALLY MOVING ALONG
THOUGH, YOU KNOW, AT 14 MILES
AN HOUR, SO DOUBLE THE SPEED
OF A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND
REMEMBER, ON LABOR DAY, IT WAS
STALLED OVER GRAND BAHAMAS AND
NOW IT'S MOVING AND IT'S OUT
TO SEA FROM HERE, JUST SOME
RAIN AS IT MOVES THROUGH
EASTERN PARTS OF CANADA HERE
AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.
>>> ALL RIGHT.
THANKS.
THANKS.
THANKS. NOW, THE TRUE DEVASTATION OF
DORIAN IS BEING SHOWCASED ON
SOCIAL MEDIA.
SOCIAL MEDIA. LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK IN
THE DIGITAL DIVE.
WE START IN THE BAHAMAS WHERE
THE DAMAGE IS EXTREME.

DELIVERING MUCH-NEEDED AID.
AT LEAST 30 PEOPLE HAVE DIED.
CLOSER TO HOME, PEOPLE ARE

IT SLAMS THE CAROLINAS.
THIS VIDEO WAS SHOT NEAR
WILMINGTON OVERNIGHT.
WILMINGTON OVERNIGHT. YOU CAN REALLY HEAR THE WIND
WHIPPING AROUND AND SEE THE
RAIN POUNDING DOWN AS WELL.
AND MAYBE THE MOST TALKED
ABOUT MOMENT FROM DORIAN
YESTERDAY WAS THIS.
A JEEP ABANDONED ON MYRTLE
BEACH AS HIGH TIDE CAME IN.
THOUSANDS OF YOU WATCHED IT
PLAY OUT LIVE ON THE KARE 11
FACEBOOK PAGE.
FACEBOOK PAGE. THE OWNER OF THE JEEP SAID HIS
COUSIN BORROWED IT AND THOUGHT
IT WOULD BE COOL TO CATCH THE
SUNRISE ON THE BEACH BEFORE
THE STORM ROLLED IN.
THE COUSIN GOT THE JEEP STUCK
AND DIDN'T TELL THE OWNER.
HE FOUND OUT WHEN POLICE
SHOWED UP AT HIS DOOR.
