dorian is a threat from florida to north carolina. cbs news weather producer david parkinson is predicting the unpredictable path of the storm. >> well, good morning. the storm has barely moved. it'g a little bit toward the north. that's an indication that we're starting to see maybe a shift to the north for florida to avoid seeing a landfall. right now the winds are at 175 pliels an hour. it ee moving to the west at 2 miles an hour and it's still off the west palm beach coast, but it's unfortunately way too close for comfort. here's the concern. it goes all the way up the florida coastline. by tuesday morning it's still a category 4. by wednesday, a category 3 with 100-mile-an-hour winds sitting off jacksonville. you can see the leftp the flori all the way up the georgia ca by thursday even it's ju rona, dot pay h attention to the center line. pay attention to the fact that you're in the cone. if you're under evacuation, you need to follow them. here's the deal. we've got to wait for the high-pressure ridge to break down and the cone

, from their area in florida. they're deciding to stay put rather than evacuate, even though they've been ordered to evacuate. what's your message to them? >> wolf, let me tell you about the story of a lady down just south of tallahassee, i think it was three or four years ago with irma. she thought, 6 feet of storm surge would be fine. when 3 feet came in, she said, i'm not going to survive this. and she got out of her car and she would have died, but there was one last high water vehicle leaving and they picked her up, or she would have passed away. she got 6 feet of storm surge through her house, she wouldn't have survived it. so i can tell people story after story. because as governor, i got to talk to a lot of people. and don't take a chance. the water is probably the most likely thing to kill you, storm surge, flooding, be careful. don't drive into standing water. we're going to get rain. so just be careful and take it seriously and take care of your family, take care of your pets, take care of people you kn

what is horrible for the bahamas may be good for florida. the longer this waits for the steering currents to pull it to the north, the further away from florida it is. if this was rolling through west of 15 or 20, we'd be in a heap of trouble here. once it does make that turn, it is still going to be close enough, a cat 4, to provide us with significant impacts along the coast. we're talking storm surge. we're talking significant wind damage and also towards the torrential rain that will be with us as well. we'll have a brand-new cone coming up at 5 a.m. >> thank you, my friend. that update coming at 5 a.m. that right turn has not started yet. >>> catastrophic damage already being reported in the bahamas. >> everyone pray for us please. please pray for us. >> first areas hit by the storm are devastated. dorian ripped the roof off of this home. >> this is probably the most saddened and worst state of my life to address the bohemian people, and i just want to say as a physician i've been trained to withstand many things, but never anything lik

look how dangerously close it is to florida. 113 miles away from the central coast of florida. even a little jog here off toward the west and those impacts could be even higher. but at this point based on the data we have, it would go parallel to florida as we continue through wednesday's forecast, winds of 110 t0 mis p. as a category 2 hurricane. now, we will not be totally free from impacts in florida. rain, 2 to 7 inches. wind gusts, 30 to 70 miles per hour on the immediate beaches and storm surges still of 3 to feet. that's why there are some evacuations in place at this hour. we'll have more details on a carolina landfall and when that could happen coming up in about ten minutes. >> okay. thanks, jeff. see you soon. another great resource is jeff's twitter feed. he just tweeted about that key turn to the north that will keep it offshore. you can follow his handle is @jeffranieri. >>> an update on the mass shooting at the gilroy garlic festival. the final patients are now out of the hospital. that is great news. they left today. also today, gilroy re-opened christmas hill p

i lived in florida and grew up in singer island, florida. every time a hurricane or tropical storm we were evacuated. i know what it feels like to live along the southern and eastern seaboard of the state of florida. what do you do when you have a hurricane like this where basically the entire state was expecting something, right? now everybody is under all these mandatory evacuations especially in the low lying areas, people that live in mobile homes. what does everybody do? we go north, right? now that storm is headed north. what are you hearing about all those people, the evacuees that were told you have to evacuate and now you have to come back before the storm hits further northwest? >> well, you know, again as you said it's just preparation in florida. that's part of life in florida. i was in marathon, florida with my wife when this first started heading this way. so we were debating do we go north or stay here. we came up north because we have a house on the st. john's river. we spent the day yesterday putting sandbags around the pert

many of the communities across south florida and this part of the state, even up to central florida, started announcing plans to prepare for dorian on thursday and friday. we're now approaching mid-week, so many of the people who went out and gassed up and bought food are having some bouts with cabin fever or are deciding that maybe they're coming back. our colleague, nick valencia, in the hotel where he and his team are said he spoke with a woman there who said she's heading back to her house. she could have done all of this back at her own home. we're going to take a moment here to join this presser in southern california on that boat fire. >> families who are having to endure this terrible process as we work to recover loved ones and have searched for their loved ones. we realize that the information that we're about to convey in this press conference is difficult and painful for them. we want to just let them know that they are in our hearts and that we express our deepest sympathies. yesterday beginning at first light and continuing throughout the day, the search for survivors a

we are in stuart, florida. just to give you an indication of what we're experiencing here, every 30, 45 minutes, we get lashed by one of the outer rain bands from the center of the storm, which, by the way, is 100 miles offshore. it's taking that energy, and transporting it to the coastline and creating the strong, gusty winds you see occasionally in the live shots you see in the overnight period. martin county, that's the county i'm located in, there's massive evacuations for the low lying areas, the susceptible houses, like mobile homes, that are susceptible to flooding. there are evacuation centers and shelters that have opened up here. unfortunately, if people have not evacuated yet, it is too late to do so because tropical storm force winds have set in. they are sustained at the local airport here. they are no longer accepting residents into those shelters. the causeway, the bridges that connect with barrier islands with the main florida peninsula -- there's one of the gusts i mentioned -- the causeways ar

it takes it about 70 miles off the coast of florida. if it moves to the west, you're looking at a big-time hurricane event for florida, georgia and the carolinas. that will be very close as we go to the end of the week. this will be with us all week long. it's with the bahamas the most with cat 4 winds there. the hurricane warnings, northwest bahamas. tropical storm warnings for central florida coast line. we expect tropical storm conditions. within 36 hours, that line will be moved to the north as we go through time. the main impacts for the out southeast u.s. hurricane force winds, heavy rain, dangerous surf, rip currents as well. guys, back to you. >>> rob marciano on the ground for us in florida. we'll get back to rob soon with more on the forecast. >>> we're also on the ground in the bahamas where dorian is due to make landfall today. abc's marcus moore is in marsh harbor. marcus, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, dan, good morning. we're experiencing on and off periods of rain and you can see the wind, look at the trees wavin

we will hear from the governor of florida, ron desantis any minute. you'll hear that live right here. the category five hurricane is inching toward florida and set to go up the east coast, putting millions under evacuation orders in the coastal areas of florida, georgia and south carolina. it's already causing catastrophic damage in the about ham mass. it is the strongest hurricane on record to hit the islands. the prime minister says it is causing damage unlike anything they've ever seen. we also have reports of an 8-year-old boy dead as a result of the storm, thousands of homes damaged or destroyed as well. we have anchors and reporters all throughout florida. good morning to you, patrick. what are you seeing? >> good morning. well, the wind and the rain just will not stop. it has been hours of this. late last night, early this morning, first the power went out and then it sounded like a jet engine running next to where we were sleeping. my crew and i, jay garcia, we actually came into a couple's apartment that has this amazing view and they're ridi

florida. this is expected to go up, i'm not expecting hurricane force winds on the coast it takes a while. we're getting into tuesday afternoon before we start to sea this track and lift towards the north. it as does so, perhaps some of these wind speeds get up to 35 to 40 miles per hour. again, that is going on 18-hours or more, so even 40 miles per hour over that duration can start to cause some damage but it is nothing like we saw across portions of the bahamas. sorry, this is like a dropped data frame but we will get that into motion. you see it move parallel to the coast, here we are tuesday afternoon. category 3 storm still. i think it actually starts to get closer to the coast now as you start to get into the carolinas, we see this push up to south carolina, north carolina. even toe the storm is weakening a little bit as it moves that direction, it as gets closer to the coast, that is going to make a really big difference. you will see it here with the storm surge forecast. anything wit

e got the mayor -- the governor of florida. hang with me. let's listen to him on this hurricane an we'll come back. >> east of palm bach and moving to the west at 5 miles per hour. we're continuing to make all necessary precautions and urging people out in the state of florida to make their preparations, heed evacuation orders. now, this storm has tracked further west slightly but still further west than we had hoped. i mean, we hoped that it would err on the eastern side of that track. it's erred a little closer to the florida coast. the storm has slowed down. we do need it to slow down a little more to ensure when it turns north that it's not impacting directly the florida cast. and we cannot say that that is not a possibility. and so i think it's important that we prepare for this so potentially make landfall here. i held a conference call with members of the florida legislature, with all the county emergency management directors. the good news is we worked great with the counties. we're all working together. my wife, the first lady, put

the cone is offshore of florida. i am not saying you will not see tropical storm force or even hurricane force gusts but all indications are the worst of the weather will be offshore from florida and as we get into north and south carolina much like matthew we will see more direct impact along these areas. you see that cone moving more to the west. that is concerning wednesday and thursday. we will watch this closely and accelerating on friday across the northeast but still a category one storm. sandy was a category one and look at the damage that did. every track, every advisory will bring you the latest. i will make sure you have it. heather: we will check back later, thanks. fox news alert, vice president mike pence departing shannon, ireland for dublin. the irish president and prime minister later today, the vice president maintaining peace and stability amid a potential brexit deal and meeting with boris johnson later. a peace deal with the talent and could end america's longest war. a us envoy briefing includin

about florida up to georgia. this storm will be very similar to the effect she had in matthew a couple years ago. except, it's moving much slower. that's the key. you are going to continue to get water. we could be looking at title flooding greater. the other aspect is the intensity. you see it weakening, because its upwelling the water, so there's cool water coming up underneath it. its energy supply is being diminished. however, once it starts moving up to the northwest, it has fresh warm water in the way. so we'll probably see it maintain intensity. category 4, category 3. but there's another interesting aspect that will happen a couple of days from now. when it's in that gap just to the east of the florida coast, you see the way the coast is shaped with the storm out there, the configuration of the coast, actually, is something that helps the storm try to tighten up again. it would not be surprising to me if this held on its intensity further north and farther northeast. i expect it to be close, it ift go ove

the storm is wider than the peninsula of florida. hurricane force winds extend as much as hah miles out from the eye of that storm. >>> the governors of florida, georgia, and south carolina have ordered hundreds of thousands of people to evacuates. hurricane dorian is the strongest to threaten the coast. even if they don't come onshore, strong winds could create life-threatening conditions throughout the region. many are already out of their homes. others have stocked up on supplies and hunkered down to wait out the storm. you board up your house. it is taking a long time. the anticipation of it is nerve- racking. >> the national hurricane center says dorian could be, quote, dangerously close to florida's east coast by tonight. forecasters also say it could take 24 hours be for it to pass florida. they now expect the storm to affect georgia and south carolina through thursday night. >> we'll have expanded coverage in just a few minutes. we'll check in. >> this sub surf is up. i have some pictures. finally moving a little bit of an up

on the florida coast. they need to be prepared and be ready for this, and they are taking precautions. mandatory evacuations under way in many counties all the way up to charleston, south carolina, as well. i'm going to go to daytona beach, florida. daytona beach might be where the storm gets the closest to the florida coast. there are mandatory evacuation orders under way there. rosa flores on the ground. rosa, tell us what you're seeing. >> reporter: right now it's nice and sunny and beautiful, but just as you've been saying, john, we're getting those outer bands of hurricane dorian so every now and then, that's why i'm keeping my rain gear on because every now and then it will start pummelling with rain, the winds pick up. they are brief but very powerful. take a look behind me, we're seeing high tide right now. we've been seeing people come along the beach all day long, but as john mentioned, this barrier island is under mandatory evacuation. that evacuation order was issued as 10:00 a.m. this morning.

the concern is with this huge population on florida's east coast how close it will get to florida's coast. we'll be dealing with this for several days. travel troubles are already mounting. several airports in florida, fort lauderdale, palm beach are shutting down today. and there are many more than a thousand flight cancellations into and out of the u.s. at this point, chris. >> so those folks who haven't left already it is hard to see how they'll get very far. you take care, gabe gutierrez. thank you so much for that report. we'll check back in with you. about two hours to the north of where gabe is we'll go along the space coast in coco beach, florida where mandatory evacuations are also in place. what is happening there? do people seem to be heeding the warning and getting ready? >> chris, good morning to you. that mandatory evacuation order for the barrier islands here in brevard county, coco beach where i am now, merritt island, indian harbor beach, that went in effect about an hour ago. you can see it is pretty much a ghost town here behind me but still early and looks like a beaut

communities in florida along the coast. we are in martin county and some low lying communities were evacuated. new evacuations today for other counties in florida, georgia and the carolinas. the concern here, everyone wants to see it make that northern turn and go up the coast and not head any further west. you can see how dangerous this could be. this surf could end up on the beach. we have seen many people take this seriously. businesses boarded up. many people have already evacuated in these coastal areas. back to you. >> are you getting a sense that people this time are actually getting out before the storm ramps up? >> i've covered a lot of these hurricanes, there is really an unpredictability about this one. we heard this track was supposed to take this through southern florida -- the last day or so when this thing became a category 5 hurricane, and you think about it with winds approaching 200 miles an hour race through the bahamas. that really got people's attention. people started to say, look, better safe than sor

safely off the florida coast. some rain bands making it to the coastal areas, tropical storm-force gusts, but the core of the hurricane is far off the shoreline. here is savannah. here is charleston. it makes a turn right along the coast. wouldn't surprise me at all if the new forecast from the hurricane center remains right along that coastal areas of south carolina and north carolina. with likely a category 1 or a category 2 hurricane. the times of this would be wednesday night and then thursday and into areas of friday morning. the rainfall forecast, you can see all the heavy stuff is off the coast. look at florida. barely any rainfall at all. even areas of georgia, barely any rain, but once the storm gets close enough to south carolina and eastern north carolina, that's where we could get the 5 to 7, isolated up to 10 inches of rain. that would cause some flooding problems in localized areas. tonight and into tomorrow, the wind forecast and the coast and the beaches, 50 to 60-mile-per-hour winds. it's going to

going to see a lot of wind damage in florida or heavy rain in florida. we will be watching the storm surge. further up the coast, that's where we have a chance of wind damage from norfolk to wilmington, all the way to myrtle beach, grand strand area down to charleston. that's why we have a chance of strong winds up there. if we can get to the right side of that track, you could be as fortunate as the people in florida. i've been showing this graph. people want to get an idea of just how bad it will be. for the bahamas, this would be historic, historic, historic. we're talking florida, compared to all other hurricanes, when we're all said and done, i think most people away from the water will say that was a pretty minor event. >> this is a tough one because usually when you know it's barreling towards you, you make decisions, stay or go. but this is a weird one because every one of these new reports that comes out from the hurricane center, you're waiting for a change. >> there hasn't been much. they have done an excellent job. they predicted the stall in

florida be one that would be aborted. what you say to people on the fence now in thing about what they should do or stay put. certainly if you are called upon to evacuate, you need to do that. were talking about storm surges of 7 feet plus that could go through some of the barrier islands where a lot of people live over by cape canaveral and through volusia county and north of there. in addition i've seen people taken it seriously. we have lines from gas stations and water and sandbags and everyone else he would've imagined on thursday and friday. a lot of gas stations ended up getting more than we thought it. the storm looks like monday to tuesday so that gave folks an extra day or so to prepare. there is water around. thanks for calling us in. we appreciate it. this has really been pummeling the bahamas for the people. still setting at site on the united states. florida and the carolinas. worried about the storm. our coverage continues in just a moment. i work hard to protect this tookus. to take care of any messy situa

florida is a heavy populated area. one of the things that needs to example,t about, for insurance, flood is to not located harm's way. one of the problems you have on florida, the eastern seaboard, [music plays] host: sorry about that, music on my ipad. guest: one of the policies that needs to be implemented is ensuring that people are not developing and building in areas that will be flooded when the first bad hurricane comes along. host: how do you make that -- that is a state-by-state decision, right? guest: federal flood insurance, and the flood insurance, if you can get flood insurance, you want to build where you can build area there is a major debate right now about whether or not the limiting of the insurance for building in areas that are likely to be flooded and wiped out, a lot of flood insurance goes to people who repetitively are making claims because they filled in harm's way. host: maybe we have dodged a bullet on this one. storm comparison in the wall street journal. the rainfall in hurricane matthew in

the models have it, you know, earlier coming over florida. now it's going to up the coast a little bit. it's going to stall out tomorrow, off of west palm. this is a serious storm. you can't take your eye off it. you have to make preparations now. again, it's going to move up the coast into georgia and the carolinas. this will be with us until probably next friday. >> 'til next friday, wow. you told congress in june that fema was struggling to maintain a staff big enough to deal with disasters like this. you said that you were more than 2,000 employees short. is that still the case, sir? >> it is. and that's really on the recovery side. what you see behind me is the whole of government response. so not only fema partners but our partners from across federal government, nongovernmental partners, our private partners. again, this is not just fema by itself. when it comes to response, we are more than ready to deal with anything that dorian delivers us this year or any other storm that may come this season. >> okay. but 2,000 employees short, ma

some of the outer bands are getting closer towards the florida coast. but the water temperatures now that it starts to feed off the gulfstream is 86-degree water. so that in itself and the slow movement is going to cause many, many issues. it is a powerhouse system. but it is just not moving right now. our forecast highs for san francisco will all be above the average for this time of year. nothing new there. we have had that probably for about two or three weeks here it seems like. 50s or ever 0s on most of the temperatures here. about 63 is popular. morgan hill. santa cruz, 58. and low 60s around san jose. and santa clara. all pretty warm. the water temperatures have come down. they have gone down about four or five degrees for some. not enough of a breeze yet to make a difference. temperatures in the mountains. 40s and 50s. and many a few high clouds starting to work their way from the south. we have a little low that will be to the west that will be here. that will start to move in on tuesday night and wednesday. that will start a cooling trend. one

"the new york times," you know, the liberal "new york times" writes "mr. biden is a potent and fiery." he can be unfocused and prone to misstatement. it was re

still going to make a run at the east coast of florida. the closest approach will be cape canaveral, otherwise, the next stop would be up into the carolinas for the next potential landfall. here are the wind speeds. here's today at 1:00. stewart florida, not far from where you are. 59, for tonight, all the way into overnight, melbourne, 64. daytona beach by tomorrow morning, 62 and then slightly turning to the right, st. simons to 53. these are almost hurricane strength but not quite, and that's the good news, john. >> reporter: that is the good news. almost hurricane strength but not quite. any deviation could make the winds stronger. watching the storm very closely. chad myers, thank you very much for keeping us posted. i want to go straight to freeport on grand bahama island. patrick oppmann and his team have been there for days now. the communications difficult, the conditions even worse. patrick, please tell us what you are seeing this morning as the sun comes up. >> reporter: good morning, well, you know, the winds have dropped somew

but people in other parts of south florida toward central florida do? >> well, we have one of the most sophisticated urban search and rescue teams in the united states. we send them to puerto rico. we have sent them to the panhandle for hurricane michael. they're the best of the best. and they're essentially a portable fire department with special capabilities that is a federal task force. we also of course are collecting right now in our fire stations goods that we want to ship to the bahamas because we've been here, as you said we've been -- here during andrew and irma. and we understand what it is like to get the direct hit of the eye of this storm of this magnitude. it's devastating. it's very, very difficult to predict and prepare for. you have everything from energy infrastructure going down. during irma we had 80% of our city without power to having, you know, massive flooding 6 to 8-foot storm surges. so i can't even imagine what an 18 to 20 foot storm surge must be like like they're experiencing in marsh harbour. and you have to understand that

pierce, florida. what's the story where you are? >> reporter: let's talk about the airports quickly to make sure that everyone is aware. it is a ft. lauderdale hollywood, melbourne, west palm beach, those airports are closed now because of dorian. as far as what we are seeing, hearing, feeling in ft. pierce, st. lucie county, it's been a mix right now. we have moments like this of pretty sunshine and then downpours. the wind is starting to pick up. you can see that reflected a little bit in the trees behind me. but also starting to really kind of get a sense of urgency from a lot of the officials who are doing updates. many stressing that there are mandatory evacuations in place right here right now. they have five shelters, four for general population, one for special needs. and right now, the county administrator saying they have about 500 people in those shelters. you know, the people that i've been talking to, have found this to be a storm that while they're used to hurricanes here, it's hard to p
