this morning on "world news now." the devastating and deadly earthquake that rocked mexico city. >> the desperate middle of the night rescue efforts now under way. dozens of buildings have collapsed. thousands of residents sleeping outdoors this morning. we have a reporter on the scene in mexico city live with the very latest. and hurricane maria takes aim, lashing the u.s. virgin islands with puerto rico also bracing for a direct hit. this could be the most powerful hurricane to hit the island in a century. then world reaction to president trump's new threat at the united nations. this time vowing to totally destroy north korea if the u.s. is forced to defend itself. and normally, when you hear us say something was caught on camera, it's usually not good for the people involved. but this time you'll see surveillance footage of a young

man doing something nice for a strange ir. it's wednesday, september 20th. from abc news, this is "world news now." >> and we're going to say good morning on this wednesday. it's a very busy one indeed. the mexican president preparing and calling for calm. the striking images that we've been seeing, many buildings like that, collapsing in a cloud of dust. >> the violent shaking hit the region of 21 million people right in the middle of the work day. the death toll so far from the magnitude 7.1 quake has risen to around 150 people, and that number is still expected to keep growing. rescue crews are still out across the city, an elementary school is among the many sites being searched. >> the quake came ironically on the 32nd anniversary of another

quake that killed thousands in mexico city. and because of that anniversary, many people took part in a drill hours earlier. a reporter is in mexico city and joins us by phone. you're in mexico city, just about 20 miles or so from where the epicenter took place. what's the latest right now? >> reporter: that's right. well, the president came out with a message on national tv saying that at least 40% of mexico is without electricity, you know. there's a lot of calls for unity, rescue operations are under way. but there's no electricity. there's no light in a lot of these neighborhoods, especially in the neighborhoods where a lot of buildings crumbled and there are still people trapped beneath. now what i've seen on the ground is a lot of just residents of this neighborhood coming out to

help, military and police, you know, trying to break rocks, trying to break blocks of concrete to try and take these people out. even some pets that were trapped beneath some of the buildings that crumbled. so i think we're showing our best side to the world and also to ourselves at a time where, you know, this is a tragedy and it happened, you know, very bizarre circumstances and coincidences, right on the anniversary of the 1985 earthquake and also an hour after we had a drill, precisely to prepare for this. >> the timing is just incredible. we're also seeing some of the video images coming in. the devastation is really hard to fathom, even though we can see some of it already. what does it feel like when it hits? >> reporter: well, i was actually on the 12th floor of a high rise where the main avenues of mexico city. and i thought it was a second

drill. we had a drill an hour before that. and but i suddenly saw that everyone was shaking. the building was kind of going side to side. and you know, everyone just started walking and running down the stairs, trying to get back into the streets. and basically, there were just thousands of people on the street. several gas leaks, which made it a bit dangerous. people were shouting at other people not to smoke, not to light any cigarettes because of all these gas leaks that we had around the city after the earthquake hit. so, you know, at first, it was a bit of chaos, you know, a lot of people, you know, walking in all different directions, not really sure where to go. they were also worried about other earthquakes coming in after this one. >> rafa, what did it physically feel like for you and sound like for that matter? >> caller: well, you know, the alarm went off, and we were

hearing that. and everything was shaking, you know. some of my colleagues went under the table, but, i mean, for me, adrenaline pumped in and we were just trying to get out of there. we could feel the ground beneath me shake. i thought at any moment this is going to go down, so i need to get the hell out of here and go back to the street. >> it looks like some buildings did go down. >> rafa fernandez from fusion television joining us. 40% of the residents of mexico city, a city of 20-plus million without power as a result of that earthquake where the search efforts still continue. thank you for joining us. meanwhile, puerto rico is bracing for what could be the most catastrophic hurricane in a century. >> it is passing over the u.s. virgin islands right now and within hours will make a direct

say if he would withdraw from the agreement. senate republicans are scrambling to drum up support for a last-ditch effort to rye pe -- repeal obamacare. it would shift funds to states to use at their own discretion. but that could mean higher premiums for those with preexisting conditions and others could lose coverage for prescription drugs and maternity care. >> here's the choice for america. socialism or federalism? when it comes to your health care. >> we do need to reform the affordable care act, but we need to do so in a bipartisan, careful way, making sure we understand the consequences. >> okay. so republicans can only afford to lose two votes of senator john mccain had called for bipartisan cooperation before famously sinking the last bill with a dramatic thumbs down you see there. so par there's no word on how i

would vote this time around. persistence has paid off for a powerball player. she has played the same set of numbers for 30 years. they finally came through, earning her more than $133 million. >> the winning numbers are all birthdays from her family. she and her husband mack plan to share their wealth. they'll help family, friends and hurricane and forest fire victims. she says she was shocked when she saw the winning numbers on her phone. >> so i do like this. my husband, mack, he's still sleeping. i go in, i wake him, i said mack, mack, and i'm doing like this. mack. he thinks i'm having a heart attack. >> 67 year old of took a lump-sum payment and immediately retired from her job which was selling xerox machines and real

estate. her husband says he just wants a new set of tires for his 21 year old truck. >> that's it. we're heading back to florida where crews are racing to stop another sinkhole from growing. could hurricane irma be to blame for this one? it's the same dress, but these are not brides maids. so how did it happen? remember to find us on facebook, wnnfans.com and @abcwnn. 60% of women are wearing the wrong size pad and
