Dorian Washes Cocaine Ashore
PHILADELPHIA, PA - JULY 31: Chris, a homeless heroin addict, mixes cocaine and heroin near a railway underpass in the Kensington section of Philadelphia which has become a hub for heroin use on July 31, 2017 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Today was the first day of a long anticipated clean-up of one of the largest open air drug markets on the East Coast. Hundreds of outreach workers, city employees and Conrail workers started to clear an area of heroin users from a stretch of train tracks in Philadelphia's Kensington section known as El Campamento. Over 900 people died last year in Philadelphia from opioid overdoses, a 30 percent increase from 2015. As the epidemic shows no signs of weakening, the number of fatalities this year is expected to surpass last year's numbers. Heroin use has doubled across the country since 2010, according to the DEA, part of an epidemic of opioid abuse that began in the 1990s, when doctors began prescribing higher doses of powerful painkillers.

Storms have been known to wash up all sorts of things. As hurricane Dorian continues to turn up the east coast, bricks of cocaine have been washing ashore.
Florida Today reports, 15 bricks were found in a bag Friday at Cocoa Beach. Another brick was found 15 miles south. Its packaging appears to say “D-I-A-M-A-N-T.” Each brick weighs a kilo, worth around $28,000 in the US.
Beach goers are asked to keep a look out as more could show up. But if you can’t be a McGruff in Florida, you can donate to the Dorian relief fund here.
