WASHINGTON — Donald J.Trump’s campaign was teeteringon Saturday after the release of avideo in which he speaks of wom-en in vulgar sexual terms, withmore Republican leaders callingfor him to leave the ticket and de-manding that the party shift focusto down-ballot races.
Representative Charles Dent,Republican of Pennsylvania, saidon Saturday that the party, whichhas been helping the Trump cam-paign financially and or-ganizationally, should no longer“defend the indefensible.” Heurged the party to abandon Mr.Trump if he refuses to withdrawand focus solely on electing therest of the ticket.
“The priority for the RepublicanParty has to be protecting our con-gressional majorities,” he said.
There were no signs on Satur-day morning that Mr. Trumpmight heed the mounting calls forhim to stand down, nor did partyleadership appear willing to aban-don him. People close to theTrump campaign and the Republi-can National Committee roundlydenied that there was any effortafoot to ease him from the race.
On Saturday morning, Mr.Trump told The Wall Street Jour-nal there was “zero chance I’llquit” and that the “support I’mgetting is unbelievable.”
The video released on Fridayand recorded in 2005 showed abus that had Mr. Trump aboard,and included an audio recording

It was first noticed as a bit ofmeteorological arcana. An alertfrom the National Hurricane Cen-ter at 2 p.m. on Sept. 22 noted thata tropical wave had been detectedmoving off the west coast of Africabut gave it little likelihood of de-veloping into a major storm.
Still, develop it did, becoming atextbook example of how stormsfollow no textbook. It then mush-roomed into the strongest hurri-cane in the Atlantic since Hurri-cane Felix in 2007, killing, by someestimates, more than 800 peoplein Haiti, slamming into theBahamas and then skirting a ra-zor’s edge that, had it been a fewmiles south and west, could havecaused catastrophic damage inFlorida.
By Saturday, it was barely ahurricane, with maximum sus-tained winds of 75 miles per hour,but it still had the potential tobring heavy rain and flooding tothe Carolinas.
Dieulifaite Derlus, MariaAgeeb, Ed Kelley and Todd Nev-ille had nothing in common — un-til the storm hit, leaving behindstories of disaster and disasternarrowly averted. Here are someof them.

His family safe, Mr. Derlus care-fully retraced his steps atop theback wall behind his home onTuesday, making one final trip tosave a few valuables. But the windwas too strong, knocking him offthe ledge and into the rush ofmuddy water below.
Before he could get up, the wallfell, too, unable to withstand the145-m.p.h. gusts. It toppled righton top of him.
Neighbors spotted Mr. Derlus,62, and carried him, semicon-scious, from hospital to hospital.Each one turned him away. Therewere no doctors to help. As he ap-

Frank Cabrera was tending hisgarden and enjoying retirement athome in the Dominican Republicwhen his phone rang.
It was Zabar’s — he was neededat the lox counter.
“Every year I know Zabar’s willcall me,’’ Mr. Cabrera, 64, said.“They fly me up, pay for my planeticket.”
Mr. Cabrera is not Jewish, buthe has always observed the HighHoly Days by putting in longhours during the mad holidayrush at Zabar’s, that temple ofsmoked fish on the Upper WestSide of Manhattan.
Even after he left the store in2009, after 26 years, Zabar’s stillssummons him, and several otherseasoned veterans who have away with a lox knife, out of retire-ment every fall to satisfy thethrongs preparing for Yom Kip-pur.
Jerry Sze, 63, a lox cutter whoworked at Zabar’s for 30 years,lives much closer, in Queens. Hetoo gets the call.
There he was late last week,next to five other lox men wieldinglong, narrow knives to carve sidesof smoked salmon with a sur-geon’s precision.
Mr. Sze’s hours vary, but there’sno question about where hestands — the second board, his oldposition along the counter.
“And I know that when he getshere, there will be 18 people wait-ing for him,” Scott Goldshine, thegeneral manager at Zabar’s, said.“They all know he slices paper-thin.”
Mr. Goldshine showed text mes-sages on his cellphone fromcustomers asking if Mr. Sze wouldbe cutting for the holidays. Onewas from Tom Paris, 63, who saidthat after Mr. Sze retired heshifted his allegiance to James

For months, Speaker Paul D.Ryan had chosen to remain large-ly silent, hoping that his party’snominee for president would sim-ply get across the finish line, drag-ging congressional Republicansacross with him.
But a 2005 recording made pub-lic on Friday of Donald J. Trumpspeaking in extraordinarily vul-gar terms about women became anew bridge too far across a seem-ingly endless landmass separat-ing civil behavior and Mr. Trump’scampaign for the presidency.
Mr. Ryan responded by uninvit-ing Mr. Trump from a rally in hishome state, Wisconsin, on Satur-day, and said he was “sickened”by Mr. Trump’s remarks. But Mr.Ryan did not go so far as to with-draw his support for Mr. Trump,which for now keeps him in the po-litical purgatory of endorsing theRepublican nominee for presidentwhile continually having to saywhy he finds his remarks and pol-icy positions despicable.
The developments come as Re-publicans are trying desperatelyin the final weeks of a campaignseason to maintain their control ofthe Senate and a firm majority inthe House. Many are weighing,based on the particulars of theirown states and districts and race
