this is of hurricane irma. and you see this little blip here, it looks like some radar just may have been knocked down in this area and that's why we're not getting data there. let's look closer at the key west area, the area that's going to see the impact most immediately with landfall this morning. so we zoom in tight. you see the orange, the yellow. these are the arm bands of irma. this is the eyewall of irma, where the strongest winds are, and it's when the flattening damaging winds move through an area, especially a small island like key west or some of the other keys. this is when we have the concern of the biggest damage moving through due to winds. now, we also have a storm surge, and that's going to come throughout the rest of today as this starts to move close to the west coast of florida. but first in the next say hour to two hours, it's likely we'll start to see the eye approaching over the island. only about 25 miles away at this point from points like key west to the eye's center. really getting c

and the damage from irma in the u.s. could cost as much as $92 billion. >> and starting this morning, residents will be allowed to return to miami beach and parts of the keys. abc's david muir has more on the damage. >> reporter: some new images now emerging from naples, florida. under water. entire neighborhoods swallowed by the storm. this home's roof, gone. the right side collapsed. it was here that hurricane irma hit with the highest wind gust reported in florida, 142 miles per hour. trees snapping, pieces of the roof above us turning into projectiles. debris flying through the air. after sustained wind speeds of more than 100 miles per hour, suddenly, we were in the middle of the eye, when forecasters tell you, do not be fooled by the lull in the storm. and this is literally what it looks like the moment after irma passed. the wind has stopped. the rain has stopped and now we can see the devastation. but within 30 minutes afterwards, the wind suddenly whipping up again. sheets of rain coming down. this was the backs

irma. without my voice, i want you to experience this force of nature as we did. the sights and the sounds starting from inside this hotel. we're going live. all of this was grass and beautiful and serene. one of the trees we were standing under 48 hours ago has tipped over. >> that same intensity ripping apart old glory, leaving the flag tattered. bringing down traffic lights and massive trees. >> you can see this is one tree that is entirely uprooted. turned on its side. look at this. some of the piping -- these are pipe snapped and pulled up with it. irma getting under south florida's skin. peeling off billboards, ripping off roofs. driving the streets, you dodge debris. many roads flooded. as the day continues to progress and hopefully folks continue to get their power on, we will know better the damage as we survey what is left after irma. reporting from broward county, florida, i'm david culver. send it back to you. >> a sense of how intense things are down there. david culver and his

we've got to get back to irma. >> exactly, keeping a very close on eye on what's now category 2 irma. so longer considered a major mur cane, but still produce heavy rain. when this is all said and done, parts of the peninsula and especially the keys we'll see about 10 to 20 inches of rain. moderate storm surge still in effect. in addition to that damaging winds and tornadoes as well. tropical force winds extend outwards as far as 415 miles. here's the center, this is how far-out they extend. winds that strong will likely produce and still produce power outages. >> they saw some really amazing wind gusts out there. 142 mile per hour wind gusts in naples was reported at the airport. not only that, they have to deal with the storm surge. and 10 foot storm surge. as we head throughout the night, let's go ahead and take a look at what they can expect. windows right now are miles per hour in tampa. they're actually going to see these winds start to increase just a bit. orlando 65 mile per hour winds. it's even bad out towards areas like central florida. let's go ahead and push towards the f

she is following the track of hurricane irma. where is irma right now? >> it is less than 70 miles from key west, florida. but over the hours we have seen a steady increase of winds from tropical storm force, 68 to 73 miles an hour. then 74-mile-an-hour gusts, then 83-mile-an-hour gusts. i haven't seen a recent update on that. but it is less than 70 miles away. another thing that got my attention while waiting to go on the air is to look at some of these outer bands and the moich reaches far to the north but there is another thing as our meteorology group was looking at the images you can really study what that eye is doing and what the outer bands are doing and what the core of the hurricane-force winds are doing as it pulled away from the coast of cuba. and really increased. now has supporting winds of 130 miles an hour but undergoing an eye replacement cycle. you have probably heard that a lot. the inner wall starts to collapse in on itself and there are indications now that we are seeing that eye wall replacement cycle. there is not a cocentric look.

again, here's irma. central pressure 921 millibars, and moving through a lot of open waters so it will maintain its impressive and historical strength at this hour. still on track to move west northwest over the next 24 hours past cuba. see this latest track from the national hurricane center keeps it off the coast of cuba but we the chance the room for error meaning it could be a little bit further off towards the east or to the west. we can have huge impacts if it crosses land mass it will weaken the hurricane. regardless, by the middle of the weekend approaching south florida still major hurricane and then from there there's been more consensus that this will take a trek more along the east coast of florida versus the west coast. not out to sea i'm afraid miami is is still in that path of taking on irma head on, and then from there, it could skirt the east coast of florida before moving due south into the southeast places like the coast of georgia and carolinas now have to be on alert for major impact

hurricane irma is right over us right now. we are a little more inland. we're a little more protected and a little concerned because there's a marina across from us right now and i'm concerned about the project ties so we'll move back inside but at this hour ft. myers is getting absolutely ripped apart. there's a curfew in effect at 8:00. it doesn't matter. you can't be in the streets right now. >> tom llamas for us and ft. myers, luckily things have caughted down. we'll take you to the urgent effort to evacuate some of the most vulnerable animals in the storm zone including these flamingos. >> the air national guard couple who refused to let irma keep them from tying off their knot. how they pulled off their dream wedding next. because there are options. like an "unjection™". xeljanz xr. a once daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections

irma not finished yet. let's bring in meteorologist erika martin for a look at irma's impact and what's next for florida. >> what i like is that tim mentioned the east coast is being impacted greatly by irma, and that's because of the mere size of it. you can see here the outer bands of this massive hurricane moving northward across ft. pierce, orlando and daytona beach. this is what we call the outer band, and this is why we're seeing several tornado watches and warnings, and several funnel clouds that have touched down, officially tornadoes throughout the evening hours. now, tracking irma as it continues to work its way from south to north towards georgia, we can see by monday morning at 8:00 a.m., expected wind speeds 75 miles per hour. so at that point, it would have become or will become a category 1 hurricane for irma but it will continue to work its way northward through georgia, touching atlanta, going to the west of it as a tropical storm and eventually becoming a tropical depression as it continue

irma going further west. the latest information how are you thinking about this. >> yes, we're looking at how the models have been shifting to the west. the big change has been the strength of the subtropical high which is keeping the storm close to cuba keys. and having it slide along there. it's been interesting to look at from the science perspective is how it's interacting with cuba and what it means for the north ward turn sfwl. >> what did you gleam from that. and how it's interacting with cuba. >> staying near the keys it's in an area where there's low -- normal land fall for going into the u.s. mainland. and drawing energy off the warm ocean waters. some of the water in the area is close to 85 fahrenheit. which is really warm. and plenty for a storm to reintensify. which is what we saw with harvey. this has kept the storm from experiencing wind sheer. how the wind changes with height in the atmosphere. and that usually takes the storms apart. we saw this with the end of harvey. we see this with other

studio: we'rejust them avoid the worst irma can offer. studio: we're just hearing that the westward movement of irma is going to be the worst case scenario for some florida counties. it doesn't say which ones but the worst case scenario being predicted now for some of florida's westward counties. let's go now to mark robinson, a major religious and storm chaser for the weather network, following hurricane irma in south tampa on florida's gulf coast. that is on the west, yes? it is. it is quite interesting, i will show you a little bit. we are getting one of the outer bands, quite literally right now, look at the winds on the water. a tremendous amount of rain falling right now so this outer band, this is just falling right now so this outer band, this isjust a falling right now so this outer band, this is just a taste of what the hurricane can do and what it will do as it gets closer. when you hear that warning that it is predicting a worst—case scenario for some of the western counties of florida, that's a pretty scary prospect when we

hurricane irma is now impacting our state. south—east florida is experiencing tropical storm force winds and nearly 25,000 people have already lost power. hurricane irma is beginning to batter the florida keys with dangerous winds and continues to remain a catastrophic and life threatening category four storm with winds of 130mph. this is a deadly storm. interstate has never seen anything like this. millions of floridians will see impact with storm surge and life threatening winds. the threat of significant storm surge floating along the east entire west coast of florida has increased. and six to 12 feet, think about that, of impacts above ground level is probable. six to 12 feet, this will cover your house. if you've seen how storm surge works, it flows in fast, very fast then it flows out. you will not survive all this storm surge. this is a life threatening situation. if you've been ordered to evacuate, you need to leave now. do not wait. evacuate. not tonight, not in an hour. you need to go right now. if you're in an eva

. >>> hurricane irma. this is nbc "nightly news" with lester holt reporting tonight from miami beach. >>> good evening. from along the iconic miami beach on a late summer evening as florida braces for impact with hurricane irma. at this point a bit over 36 hours until the storm's landfall here in the u.s., a small westward shift in irma's track may make little difference at this point. the reality is florida has no place to hide. here's why. the storm is far wider than this long, narrow state, so virtually everyone is likely to feel irma's punch albeit at varying intensities. and so it is also gut check time for those who have held off evacuating. road traffic is heavy and flights out are canceled or booked solid. every new image and casualty figure coming out of the battered caribbean underscores why this powerful storm is so feared. as we start to feel the first winds ahead of the approaching storm we want to get the latest from our team on the ground. starting with kerry sanders. kerry, good evening. >>
