For the first time researchers have used brain waves of a paralysed man who is unable to speak and have turned them into sentences on a computer screen. The study, which will require more years of research, marks a monumental step in allowing more natural communication for people who can't talk due to illness or injury. Dr Edward Chang, a neurosurgeon at University of California who led the work, said: “Most of us take for granted how easily we communicate through speech. "It’s exciting to think we’re at the very beginning of a new chapter, a new field” to ease the devastation of patients who lost that ability."

So far, 62 victims have been identified, and 43 people are still missing. Poor weather was expected to continue Saturday as storms hovered off South Florida’s coast.
