Officials in the Bahamas say 2,500 people are listed as missing more than a week after Hurricane Dorian ravaged Abaco and Grand Bahama islands.
Authorities say a number of those unaccounted for may be staying in shelters or were evacuated from the islands. They say official lists are still being drawn up.
The death toll from Dorian stands at 50, but as the search for victims and cleanup goes on, officials expect that number to climb substantially.
Early estimates say the Category 5 hurricane - the strongest storm ever to strike the Bahamas - caused about $3 billion in damage.
U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday he is considering five people for his new national security adviser. That's after firing John Bolton on Tuesday. He didn't provided any names of those he is considering.
The U.S. leader said he expects to name Bolton's replacement next week. Trump said he wished Bolton well even as he dismissed him on Tuesday in a tweeter statement.
Bolton maintains he resigned and was not fired.
