have given the former stanford student up to 14 years in prison decide on six months in jail. before anyone knew miller's name, she had support from around the world. her words, "you took away my worth, my privacy, my intimacy" from her 12-page statement reached millions. northwestern university law professor deborah tuerkheimer says it was a turning point that preceded the me too movement. >> i think is very powerful for this woman to have come forward publicly to give her name to a story that so many people know about and to publicly reclaim her voice. >> reporter: we knew her story. now we know her name. because of the outrage over the light sentence, the judge in the brock turner case was the first judge in california to be recalled by voters in more than 80 years. as for chanel miller, her memoir, titled "know my name" is scheduled to come out september 24th. norah?

♪ this is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome to the "overnight news." i'm don dahler. search and rescue teams are fanning out across parts of the bahamas after the nation was hit with the most powerful hurricane in its history. dorian has finally moved north, heading towards georgia and the carolinas. millions are under evacuation orders. we begin -- has risen to 20, bu it is expected to rise further.

today we flew with the guard over the islands hit hardest by dorian. what we saw was incredible. home after home torn apart by one of the most powerful atlantic storms on record. in fact, the u.n. says tonight 70,000 people are in immediate need of aid. we also spoke with survivors who are telling some harrowing stories. tonight dorian is lashing the coastline of florida and georgia. we're talking about top winds that have increased to 110 miles an hour. its center will approach south carolina tonight, north carolina tomorrow night, all with hurricane-force winds. and south carolina's governor has ordered the entire coast evacuated. we're talking about 800,000 people in all. storm surges could reach 8 feet in some places. warnings now extend northward to hampton roads, virginia. and we have a team of correspondents from the bahamas to the georgia and carolina coasts. but we're going to begin with

what we saw in the hurricane zone in the bahamas. >> we're the closest fixed wing aviation to the bahamas. >> reporter: we travelled with coast guard lieutenants jillian harner and julianna white aboard an hc-144 casa cargo plane to see the devastation firsthand. it was quickly obvious these fragile islands were no match for dorian's category 5 fury. the landscape resembled a bomb site. this is our first look at marsh harbour in the abaco islands. flat, completely wiped out. you can see the beach erosion too. see the change in the color in the water. that's how much of the beach was washed out. this is where dorian unleashed most of its wrath and rendered this place unrecognizable. >> it's one of the saddest things. this is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and yet nature's fury has decimated it. >> reporter: its people desperate. not only was the u.s. coast guard in rescue mode, but customs and border patrol is also now helping out.

>> we managed to get up on a dryer, it turned sideways, and we managed to stand on there, my wife over here. >> reporter: at the chaotic staging area for rescue and relief operations in nassau, we met robert and phyllis cornea, who have lived in abaco for more than 50 years. they've been homeless since sunday. >> all the main building, gone. >> gone? >> they're gone. everything is gone. only concrete structures remain. >> reporter: how did you get rescued? >> the good lord. that's all i can tell you. >> reporter: the good lord. >> take a picture of me. this is all i have left, what you see me in. >> reporter: that's all you have left? >> i've been in this four days. >> reporter: the corneas lost their home. adrian farrington lost his son. >> i still can see my son getting dragged across the roof, reaching out. >> reporter: farrington told my colleague nikki battiste he thought he lifted his 5-year-old son to safety on the roof of his house, only to see him washed away in the surging floodwaters. >> if he be rescued, i praise the lord.

but for the surge, what i saw when i lose him, anything could happen. you had sharks swimming in the water. anything could happen. >> reporter: we also met coast guard lieutenant randall rinesen, who rescued a woman on grand bahama who said her family is missing too. have you ever seen anything like that out there before? >> not this type of destruction, but we fly over the islands a lot. and this is definitely the worst i've seen. >> reporter: many of the pilots we spoke to tell us when the waters recede, the conditions will only get worse. and we're going to hear more from the two lieutenants who flew us over the bahamas later in this broadcast. our david begnaud was able to get into treasure cay on abaco island. it was absolutely decimated by dorian, and david was able to speak with some of the storm survivors. >> that's the airplane that brought us here to treasure cay. as soon as we got out, they loaded up people who had medical

needs to take them to the marsh harbour area where a medical hospital of sorts has been set up. a short time ago this air ambulance from ft. lauderdale landed, ready to pick up people. and a few people here at the immigration office have concerns like they are low on medication and they would like to get out of here. everyone prioritized has medical needs, but others are ready to go. this is nancy david. she waited all day for a flight out of here. it didn't happen. this is what happened to her home in the community of man-o-war. >> we opened the door to the bathroom, there was nothing left. it was gone. the house was gone. >> reporter: we also met shavon williams. she look shellshocked. >> what we did, we went in the bathroom, and we put some mattress over us, just start praying. >> reporter: her husband died just days before the hurricane. she is running low on medication to treat her epilepsy. because of her needs, a stranger gave her a seat on a flight to

nassau. as we get ready for sunset tonight, the people are left sitting and waiting and then hoping that they too might get a townth norah? >> all right, david, thank you. and tonight parts of georgia are being hit by tropical storm conditions. mola lenghi is on the georgia coast. mola, how bad is it right now? >> well, norah, we're on the beach on tybee island here about 20 miles east of savannah, where you can feel the wind and the rain increasing hour after hour. and, of course, with stronger winds, you get much more aggressive waves out there in the atlantic. now as you can see right now, it's low tide, but the real concerns, the major concerns moving forward over the next few hours are going to be the storm surge and the potential for flooding, especially during high tide in the overnight hours. about half of the roughly 3,000 people who live here on tybee decided to stay and ride out the storm, despite state officials urging them to evacuate.

now conditions are expected to get worse here over the next 12 hours or so, especially in the low-lying coastal areas of the state. about 1300 national guardsmen have been deployed, norah, to help in dorian's aftermath here. >> all right, mola, thank you. we want to check in now with jamie yuccas. she is up the coast in charleston. that is of course south carolina's low country. jamie, i understand authorities worried about that eight-foot storm surge that could inundate parts of the city? >> absolutely, norah. this is what we're talking about as the issue here. these low-lying areas that quickly fill with water. they're a concern for homeowners, and now check out this video, just shot a short time ago on folly beach. you can see the winds just whipping there. if you combine those conditions with the 5 to 15 inches of rain expected to be dumped in this area during dorian, along with a high tide, the mayor calls that a triple threat, and it could

mean catastrophic flooding that hasn't been seen here in more than 30 years. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. ♪ charmin ultra soft! it's softer than ever. charmin ultra soft is softer than ever... so it's harder to resist. okay, this is getting a little weird. enjoy the go! with charmin! ♪

>> reporter: and that's really driven you? >> yes. >> reporter: to bring people, bring the focus back. >> someone had to do it. so why not me? i can see the ghosts of the people who used to live here. >> reporter: when those people moved out, they left behind the objects that once filled their lives. >> so i decided to gather those things up and to create this magic. >> reporter: so you're making a statement with the things that are left behind are still valuable. >> absolutely. you make it valuable. >> reporter: valuable because today guyten's so-called heidelberg project attracts an estimated 200,000 visitors a year from all over the world, adding more than $3 million annually to the local economy. >> i just like the oddity of it all. >> this is a great way to put this area on the map. >> bringing the neighborhood back to the neighborhood. >> it's really interesting. >> reporter: it also brought controversy to the neighborhood. some residents complained about traffic and code violations and the city even bulldozed parts of it twice. >> i don't mind getting in

trouble first and apologizing later if necessary. >> reporter: the heidelberg project is now working with the city to address those concerns. a task that falls to its president, janine whitfield. >> and it's like any other family, you got sisters and brothers that don't get along, but we never stop trying. >> reporter: a former banker, she made a wrong turn down heidelberg street 26 years ago, and met guyten sitting on the curb. today she is also his wife. do you feel that your wife has followed the rise and fall and rise and fall of detroit? >> i definitely do. i think it is the greatest symbol. and as the city of detroit is kind of having this new life so to speak, so is the heidelberg project. >> reporter: ironically, that new life means dismantling some of the installations and moving them to galleries around the world. they have a proposal at city hall to turn this once blighted neighborhood into a vibrant artist's village with live/work

studios, an arts academy, and businesses that indicator to them. they've even trade marked their own school of art. >> we call it heidelbergology. >> what is your definition of heidelbergology? >> it is the study of found materials incorporated into the fabric and structure of an urban community and the effects on that community. >> reporter: you pheidelberg, this neighborhood on the map, and now you want to take to it in next level? >> that's whyy walk away. iowa done it. >> reporter: he is now represented by an art gallery in new york and other cities have asked him to create works of art to revitalize their neighborhoods. so it seems the philosophy of heidelbergology is spreading. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. ♪
