quarters in florida. they're still preparing. we expect them to come about 10 in ammets ago but you can imagine with the amount of details a well as the number of officials that will be trueing toing provide the best information for residents off florida and the region. we're going to wait for them. take a short break and be right back with the breaking news story right after this. -guys, i want you to meet someone. this is jamie. you're going to be seeing a lot more of him now. -i'm not calling him "dad." -oh, n-no. -look, [sighs] i get it. some new guy comes in helping your mom bundle and save with progressive, but hey, we're all in this together. right, champ? -i'm getting more nuggets. -how about some carrots? you don't want to ruin your dinner. -you're not my dad! -that's fair. overstepped. -that's fair.

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

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

florida is ready. we are resilient. i along with the governor are saying, look, do not let your guard down even though this may progress and follow the path of matthew up the east coast, if you remember what happened with matthew, as al was saying it pushes all of the water up the intercoastal, up the rivers, it floods places you wouldn't expect because it doesn't let the water out as it is moving so slowly. i am very concerned about the surge and the flooding risk. i live on a barrier island. i have evacuated. traig to le trying to lead by example. people need to listen to local officials. they are trying to do it judiciously and only evacuate most at risk areas. and take care of our at needs folks, our elderly, hospitals, nursing homes. folks on defibrillators, ventilators and other folks that need special care. >> definitely check on your neighbors. we've seen striking images of lines at stores, people wrapping around corners. do you have enough resources on hand in case you have these massive storm surges and people

just a little wobble down in south florida it could be bad up here. >> last we heard from florida's governor, they were trying to make sure there was fuel for motorists trying to get out of town and traffic was flowing and encouraging residents to keep an eye on the warnings. >> at the end of the day i want as robust tourism as possible. my most important priority is nrar -- floridians are safe and be able to assist after the fact. >> 43 of florida's 67 counties have closed schools tomorrow and many on wednesday as well. so they are taking precautions and trying to keep people off the streets. they still don't know if or how bad this thing is going to be. >> rick, thank you so much. >> with that we bring in florida attorney general ashley moody joining us now. nice to see you. appreciate it, ma'am. real quick what's the biggest challenge you guys have now? >> the biggest challenge we have is making sure that floridians are heeding our call to pay attention to the mandatory evacuation. you know, being from florida, we have a lot of hurricanes and we come complacent. this is one of the largest

we have focused on florida because the storm is close to florida but could the carolinas get more damage? it could make landfall there. >> absolutely. the core of the strongest winds will remain offshore. not to say you won't see indirect impacts. if you have a landfalling hurricane, very low-lying area and they got a ton of damage from matthew. if we have a major hurricane that will be different. the story will continue through the entire week. rob: as this storm inches closer to the united states millions on the east coast are bracing for possible impact. carley: officials warning now is the time to get out and get to safety. rob: the wind and rain have been picking up all morning long. >> reporter: we are getting outer bands. our latest reading was 62 mile an hour gusts in the indian river on the outside of barrier islands. they were evacuated. janice was talking about low-lying areas. you have all along this area of st. lucie county and low-lying areas, winds out of the north through the south increasing things as the tide rises, the king tied picking up is a significant problem for

florida and the carolinas. worried about the if you have moderate to severe psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievable, with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines and if you're pregnant or planning to

let me bring in florida democratic congressman who represents southeast florida, including a big part of the city of miami. thanks for being back on the show. and i want to ask you about hurricane dorian in a minute. senator mcconnell said if the president supports it he might be open to something on guns and background checks. is anything you have heard from senator mcconnell giving you hope for compromise when congress gets back in town? >> a tiny bit of hope. i wish the senator would recognize here a separate branch of government. they passed background checks in march. we have been waiting for the senate to act. and he should not be asking the president for permission to pass background checks. we'll back back and pass three more bills, strong bills to add to the background checks, bills to 3re vent those from harming others. it will limit the number of bullets in magazines are from 100 to 10. and those from misdemeanor hate crimes being prevented from accessing guns. >> you had more hope than you had two, three weeks ago, a month ago. is that fair to say? >> that's fair to say. t

, 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

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

nbc's simone boyce is in west palm beach, florida. simone, it has begun raining there. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, ali. i think you can see right now we are in the thick of one of those thicker rain bands that's emanating off of hurricane dorian. i mean, as you just mentioned, people here have to remember and people along the coast of florida have to remember that we are still just less than 100 miles away from a category 4 storm. a very powerful category 4 storm. now while we have received some good news as of late in some of those forecasts, there are still some threats that officials here are warning the residents about. that includes beach erosion. that includes storm surge. this area that we're in right now, here in west palm beach, is still in a storm surge warning. so we could be seeing 4 to 7 feet of extra water posing an added danger to this area and potentially flooding parts of this area. so those are some of the things that officials are warning residents to look out for. you can hear the rain picking up right now. we

florida still in that cone, so if it jogs a little bit farther to the west and gets closer to florida, even if it stays offshore, the hurricane-force winds stay 35 miles to the center. you can still have hurricane-force winds. you're going to have with it a major storm force coming in. so it's still too early to tell the impacts florida will have. that's why a lot of officials are nervous. you don't want to wait too long to evacuate people. you want everybody to be safe. here's the latest hurricane forecast track. we know it's shifted a little farther to the west over the last 12 to 24 hours. that's definitely of concern. here ooh is the storm surge. 18 to 23 feet in the bahamas. and then you can see along the florida coast with the data we have now, of course, that subject to change depending how close this storm gets to florida, fred. >> jennifer gray, thank you so much. we'll check back with you. >>> all right. cnn's patrick oppmann is in freeport, bahamas. patrick, we've watched the weather change a little bit in your backdrop over the past 24 hours. describe what's happening. >>

more than 1 million people being told to leave the east coast this morning, florida, georgia and the carolina coast all preparing for the worst, we have live team coverage for you, griff jenkins and jillian mele, following the monster's storm latest track, good morning, thank you so much for joining us. janice: so our friends in bahamas are still enduring a category 5 hurricane and i liken it to a tornado that's raking across the small islands, these small vulnerable islands with wind gusts in excess of 200 miles per hour, so this storm has slowed down incredibly, we will be dealing with the potential for storm surge, upwards of 23 feet, of course, 30-inches of rainfall and then those relentless category 5 winds across the vulnerable areas, you can see the eye, so clear, this is one of the strongest hurricanes on record when you talk about the wind, alan was number 1, and dorian at 2, number 2 here with wilma, gilbert and labor day hurricane and this is labor day. the storm, the tropical storm forced winds extend about 140 miles from the center of the storm so they are already experi

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

on the western side of florida. rob: $160 billion of florida's economies agriculture. what crops are you worried about at this point? what are the most vulnerable to a storm like this and all this water? >> what you are concerned about his cattle on the eastern seaboard, that is critical and any vegetables or crops of that nature on the eastern seaboard or citrus has been taking a beating for the last decade and our fruit is 3 quarters of the way, not harvested but a lot of that fruit also this year. carley: florida governor ron desantis's first major hurricane while he has been in office in this role. he is making sure people recognize the storm is still a danger. how do you think he is doing? >> we are proud of governor desantis. he is doing a great job. he coordinated with local utilities to make sure the roads are clear but evacuating hospitals and nursing homes along the critical path. he and his team are doing a great job. rob: i'm sure you relieved by the forecast that has downgraded and move north along the coast. thank you for your time, appreciate it. >> than

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

cnn brian todd has this report from stuart, florida. >> reporter: as florida braces for hurricane dorian, the bahamas are taking a direct hit. grand bahama island bearing the brunt of more than 150-mile-per-hour winds and rain. for more than 36 hours, the life-threatening storm has been pummeling the bahamas. some marsh harbour residents trapped in homes that have been destroyed. >> we can't go outside. we need help, please, someone help us. >> reporter: here in florida ten coastal counties are under "the mandalorian." >> it's important that residents heed those calls. you know, get out now while you have time, while there's fuel available and you'll be safe on the roads. >> reporter: with the storm approaching medically dependent and special needs residents have e moved too from 90 florida assisted living facilities have already been relocated according to the governor. along the barrier islands which could get the brunt of the storm as it hits concerns that those who don't heed the "the mandalorian" orders could be cut off. >> it's going to be difficult for us to get out to the barrier

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

if you see south florida, places like port st. lucie, st. paul and during your out of the potential forecast track here. go a little bit further in, it is all shifted off the east, just the very far eastern coastline is still in the track. again, most of our guidance stays just off story. then it looks like we do have some potential interaction, category two, category one hurricane across the coastal carolinas. we will even see the impact probably next saturday out across cape cod and the islands. mike. >> mike: rick reichmuth, thanks very much. let's get one a storm tonight. florida senator rick scott joins us from fort myers, could even come senator. >> video, you can always rebuild the house, but you can't rebuild a life. you have to take this thing seriously. these tracks are great, but two-thirds of the time it's outside the cone so -- we are going to get a lot of storm surge. we are going get a lot of rain, we will get some wins. we need to watch this, what you're doing to try to educate people is really helpful. >> mike: we can put on

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

lucie down there in florida. ainsley: let's show you video of what the bahamas lacks like now as the sun has come up and they are able to assess the damages. look at that the death tool yesterday we were reporting was five. they found two more bodies so now it's seven. the prime minister says we are asking for your prayers and compassion. the president tweeted out and said we are sending crews down there to help you. steve: it just looks like a bomb, it likes like hiroshima. everything is flattened. brian: they still don't know the amount of damage but the death toll did rise to seven there. send more and more help. as soon as it's clear that we don't need it here, the u.s. aid disaster assistance team. there is another team going to the bahamas. they call it the second strongest hurricane to ever hit the atlantic. ainsley: disney and royal caribbean donating a million dollars each for disaster relief in that area. and some of the other -- some of the phone companies are also saying look, if you live in one of th

there is nothing to push it towards florida. that's why we know it's not going to head much further west than it is right now. >> bill karins, we will check back in with you. thank you so much for that. let's go to katie beck in savannah, georgia, where the governor issued a mandatory evacuation order. katie, what's the latest in savannah? >> reporter: well, we're just starting to see some landfall here as well, chris, and people are heeding those evacuation orders. you can see behind me this area is deserted. we are in historic downtown savannah right along the river. this is a very popular tourist area. lots of bars. lots of restaurants. right now every hotel is closed. every shop is closed. there are sandbags in front of the doors. so obviously people know to take those orders seriously and get out ahead of this storm, not wait until it arrives. tomorrow morning traffic on 95 out of savannah will be counterflow, that means the traffic will be going away from here. they'll be telling people to continue to evacuate to try to av

the clock ticking down for vulnerable communities in florida. hurricane dorian is taking aim at the east coast. forecasters predict the life threatening storm surge could raise water levels up to 7 feet along the florida coast as well as georgia and parts of south carolina. this as we only begin to get a sense of dorian's historic devastation in the bahamas where at least five people are confirmed dead after the slow-moving storm pummeled the island for two full days. pictures coming in very jarring from there. you are watching "outnumbered." here today melissa francis. i missed you. fox news contributor jessica tarlov. i missed you, too. and column shift kristen soltis anderson and david webb of the david webb show. reality check is on fax nation, david webb is "outnumbered" and did you bring four more mugs? >> david: i better have them upstairs. amanda, if you're watching, can you get the mugs down here? >> harris: mandatory evacuation orders are still in effect for coastal cities facing hurricane dorian conditions later tonight. dorian is now

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

i'm john berman in jensen beach, florida. erica hill is in new york. you can see the surf behind me. this is hurriane dorian. about sn miles from the center. this is what it's doing already. some of the outer bands have passed over us the last hour or so. we've had winds 50 miles an hour or higher and driving rain at times. right now dry. out in that direction, again, i'll point to it again. out in that direction about 100 miles, hurriane dorian is passing over the bahamas. the winds have been as high as 185 miles an hour with gusts over 200 miles an hour. this is the most powerful storm ever. tied for the most powerful storm ever to make landfall in the atlantic basin. we know of one fatality already, an 8-year-old who drowned in the storm surge there, 20 feet or higher. the storm is moving along at 1 miles per hour right now, inching over the bahamas, inching toward the florida coast. the longer it lingers, the more devastation it causes. there have been mandatory evacuation orders for several counties in florida. in just a

but inland from florida as well. i mean, this thing could be affecting areas like orlando where they could see a tropical storm. >> the good news is we've been very, very consistent. one or two miles kind of takes it into the coast but we've been very consistent keeping it off the coast. the closer we get to make that turn to the north and that will happen later tonight into tomorrow where we see the turn to the north and east, that will give us a better -- we don't know yet if it is going to make that turn. all the indications are there. we have the steering currents in place. they just need to get the players in place and then we'll see that turn and better determine where it will make the path. >> when are we getting the next advisory? >> 5:00 a. >> thank you. joining me now from charleston, south carolina nbc's kathy park. good to talk to you this afternoon. appreciate it. from what i understand in parts of charleston they were actually flooding during an afternoon thunderstorm earlier today. how are they prepari

they didn't just immediately shut down florida and move north. they have resources in florida. they are moving resources to other states. the real focus is on the evacuations. go back to this error of uncertainty. in 2004, hurricane charlie, everybody thought it was going to tampa. it hit punta gorda south. people were surprised. they were in a hurricane warned areas. the hurricane warnings are the things people should be focussing on. less about the cone of the track. if you're in those evacuation zones, you're in a warrant area. that means the possibility can occur, and you can't discount that this storm may wobble a little bit, may get a little bit closer. may come ashore. that would all be in the forecast probabilities. >> yeah, you mentioned just one of the challenges, it always seems in these situations is convincing folks, maybe in an evacuation zone in a hurricane warning area, whatever it is, convincing them, if need be, to leave. >> yeah, we saw this in 2004. people that were south down in, you know, fort myers and those areas. they said the hurricane is going to tamp

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
