The breaking news this hour Hurricane Sally is barreling across the gulf coast. Several states affected. Its bringing torrential, lasting rain and as a result threatening catastrophic flooding for miles and just sitting over that area there pumping down that rain. Sally now a category 1 storm was still 90 mile per hour winds. Some areas already seeing close to two feet of rain, over three feet predicted for parts of the southeast. Reports of highwater rescues already under way in gulf shores, alabama, that is near where sally made landfall just a few hours ago. We have reporters across the ghost and lets begin with our gary tuchman in Pensacola Beach, florida. Gary, tell us what youre feeling. We certainly see it. Reporter poppy and jim, Pensacola Beach, which is a Barrier Island south of the city of pensacola. Pensacola the city has about 53,000 people. This Barrier Island has about 4,000 residents, but lots of tourists come here, too. We are still in the midst of this. They got the unfortunate distinction on being on the east side of the eye and the right side of the storm and the stronger side of the storm so were not going to feel the effects of the eye here where everything calms down and you can have a picnic in this parking lot. Its just a continuous deluge of wind and rain. We still have the consistent tropical stormforce winds that occasionally got to hurricane force. We had a 92mileperhour gust about an hour and a half ago, but the story of this storm is the rain. Weve had now at least 24 inches of rain and its likely more 24 inches about an hour and a half ago, two feet of rain and extensive flooding in this island and in the city of pensacola. People who live here in the city of pensacola and here in Pensacola Beach are being advised not to go out. There are power lines down and weve heard transformers explode, and weve seen piece of roof fly by and signs fly by and the damage weve seen so far to buildings around the area are not as extensive as what i saw during hurricane laura three weeks ago in lake charles, louisiana, but we didnt see much flooding damage there. Very little flood surge and here were seeing intense flooding and thats certainly going to be a problem because of this amount of rain. This is an amazing fact. Ive never seen this in any storm ive covered, but weve had a deluge, torrents of rain for 17 straight hours now. Poppy . Jim . That is exactly what chad myers has been warning about. Lots of rain and the storm just sitting over there like charlie brown, practically, over those areas. Gary tuchman, please stay safe. Lets go to ed lavandera. Is it similar where you are . I dont know about wind as heavy, pounding rain that gary is going through. Reporter whats interesting it seems like the faucet has been turned off on the rain within the last half hour it was raining rather heavily and all of a sudden stopped. Im trying to get a sense of whether or not that means that the back half of this hurricane just doesnt have the moisture that the front half did. So perhaps the worst of the rainfall, at least here in the mobile, alabama side of the storm, the rain has dissipated for now, but the winds are rather intense. I dont know exactly at what level they had been in the last hour and a half or so. Wind gusts at the Mobile Airport about 75 Miles Per Hour. The wind his been under 50 Miles Per Hour, so thats almost at the point where emergency crews can start getting out into the elements to begin surveying and reaching people who need help, but im not sure if that call has been officially made here at this point, but it has been a dramatic several hours here along the gulf coast as the eye of this storm came in between mobile and pensacola, florida and we were all right here on the edge of that eye wall which brought some of the most intense rain and intense sustained wind for hours and hours this morning and that is going to be, at least what i am most concerned about as crews begin surveying the extensiveness of the damage brought by this hurricane as we go out and see just how long all of this area was exposed to this intense wind and rainfall for as long as it has been. I think that will be the real story here in the hours ahead as crews and emergency teams begin surveying the damage. Jim and poppy . Ed, thank you very much. Good luck to you and your crew out there. We appreciate you being there. Lets get to our meteorologist chad myers. Were glad youre back. Just talk us to about the track of the storm and just how slowly its moving and this huge rainmaker, clearly as we saw with what gary said. The hurricane still saying 3 Miles Per Hour forward speed and the winds, im sure, still gusting to 85 in spots especially along that shore for orange beach all of the way to the east and we have bigger storms, too, that could be rotating anywhere from panama city all of the way down to appalachia cola. Flash flooding certainly to the west where it has been raining, 20 in some spots and im sure well get reports of 30 inches. No question about that. The irony of this storm is that there is a fivefoot storm surge in pensacola where gary is. Thats a positive surge, but there is a sevenfoot negative surge blowing out of mobile bay. At least in the coast guard station in mobile bay on the west coast there, seven feet below where you should be at this time. Im sure the boats are just sitting there in the mud because the water will have to come back. Well have 36 Miles Per Hour in mobile, gusts to 68 and pensacola, your latest gust at the Naval Air Station was 82. So it is not slowing down. The rain is obviously still going down. Everywhere you see white is 20 inches or more. We dont have a 30 or more here. Most of the rain was in the gulf of mexico, but way too much way too much was on land and that all has to try it to run off. Poppy . Jim . Thanks for keeping us uptodate, chad. Hurricane sally has knocked out power to 95 of Baldwin County in alabama and it shows how communities can be defer stated by this. Joining us is djenny gary. We know you have a lot on your plate. You said you think it is very important that people pay close attention to this system and not focus on what category of storm that it may be. People always focus wind speeds, et cetera, but tell us why youre putting that warning out. Thank you for having me this morning. So i will tell you right now the storm is still incredibly impacting our area. So the eye is moving across our county and were still seeing tons of rain and wind all across our area. The important safety message that we want to make sure that we convey to our people right now is please stay put. We have serious conditions along our roadways and a lot of road debris and a lot of trees down at this time and we really want to make sure that people are staying safe and off of our roadways. We have been informed from the National Weather service that we will continue to see these conditions throughout the day and the tropical stormforce winds are likely not going to subside until later this afternoon so that is limiting many of our responders at this time. Yeah. Yeah. Listen, its good advice because oftentimes people drive on flooded roads and they think its a few inches deep and before they know it theyre in dire straits. So what are you hearing about people trapped or stranded in the midst of this . Are the conditions safe enough for First Responders to get out and look at the folks who are in danger . So right now the conditions are very dangerous. We have been receiving calls through our 911 center that there is a lot of requests, but at this time because of the high winds and because of the amount of flooding that were seeing, responders right now are having to stage because its so dangerous. So theyre not able to get out, but our 911 center has been busy with lots of calls throughout the night and those Power Outages are all across our area at this time so were beginning to collect some of that information and hear damage reports that well be assessing and assimilating that information as conditions will begin to alleviate so that we can actually get out into the community and see and assess the situation. Final question, if i can. Listen, its a challenge under any circumstances to respond to this in the midst of a pandemic as an extra layer for you. Are you finding that that has made people less likely to evacuate, for instance and not shelter, et cetera. The information with covid19, i will tell you that we have open shelters for our individuals that needed to seek shelter. We may possibly open additional shelters once we assess the need here in the county. Live safety is always going to be the top priority and we will take every measure and we implemented those measures in our shelters as we open them for evacuees that were seeking shelter from Hurricane Sally. We wish you luck and were hoping maybe you can dodge a bullet here and well keep in touch. Thank you so much. Still to come this hour, President Trump is again claiming coronavirus will simply go away even, he claims, without a vaccine. We will speak to someone who knows the science. Thats next. Also, will heavy rain in another part of the united states, the west coast help thousands of firefighters battling those Deadly Wildfires across ten states and our exclusive with 3m ceo mike roman. The companys unprecedented response to this pandemic and the big question, will there be enough of their n95 masks as we brace for a very rough fall and winter. We were not in a position to meet that demand. Even today the demand for n95s is greater than not only our production capacity, but the entire industry. groans hmph. food grunting menacingly when the food you love doesnt love you back, stay smooth and fight heartburn fast with tums smoothies.

S. Whether or not operation warp speed as its known, the u. S. Effort to find a vaccine proves to be successful. It would go away without the vaccine, george, but its going to go away a lot faster it would go away the vaccine. Sure. Over a period of time. And many deaths. Youll develop like a herd mentality. Its going to be herd developed and that will all happen. Joining us now on all of these key topics, dr. Larry brilliant, an epidemiologist and cnn medical analyst. It actually like to talk about i think thats a sort of i dont really want to get into that assertion by the president because there are so many factual issues there, but what the federal government just came out with moments ago is hhss plan, doctor, to distribute a vaccine when one is proven to be effective to the American People and they state when you read through the details that everyone is going to get one for free. So how key is that and then how do you ensure equal, really equal distribution . Good morning, poppy. Good morning, jim. Yeah. I dont want to comment on the president s note about how we will get to no cases without a vaccine, but we will have vaccines and thats the good news. Im a little concerned that the vaccines that we get may have a very low bar of efficacy. 50 has been set by the fda and im concerned that we will get an efficacys signal and know that theyre effective long before we know what kind of side effects, what well see when we distribute larger doses of it and im concerned that it requires a cold chain and multiple doses in the first few vaccine and be that as it may. We will have vaccines and we will have lots of them and that will be a wonderful thing and we should all look at that and say maybe there will be a better one later, but were glad to have one now and we have to make sure that it gets to everybody in an equitable manner and making it free certainly makes it easier to think in terms of equitable distribution. Lets hope people take them, too, right . Because you have this kind of antivax culture. In the last 24 hours more than 1400 americans died from coronavirus. Thats the most in a single day since july. As you know, dr. Brilliant, we talked about it, some of the models had predicted an increase in the daily death rate over the next several weeks. Is there something significant in what we see in that day or is it too early to say . No, there is something very significant. We are on the verge of exceeding 200,000 deaths. Just think about that for a second and weve grown numb to the numbers. 200,000 deaths from this virus. Most or many of those deaths were avoidable and not only did we get over a thousand deaths a day on average, but were heading into a time when all of us will go and spend more of our life indoors as we go into the cold season. Right. Well be spreading disease in doors and were spreading flu season, and were going into a time when schools are going into schools and they cant stay open so some of the kids are coming home and then we go into the real Holiday Season of halloween and thanksgiving and christmas. Im very concerned that the next few months may be amongst the worst months that we have experienced and i dont believe that the virus will just go away and i certainly dont believe this notion that we will achieve herd immunity that enough people will get sick. Well be talking about millions of deaths and not hundreds of thousands. Lets talk about children because theres new disturbing federal data out that came out yesterday. Black, hispanic and American Indian children are dying at a much higher rate from covid19, a arrest 75 in terms of their deaths which has not been proportional, because when you add the percentage of the population and its 41 so theres that and then you have the dire warning from bill gates. Here he is. The inequity of this, whether its between citizens in the country, blue collar versus white collar, blacks experiencing a higher sickness rate than others, you know, poor countries cant borrow money and spend money like the u. S. And other rich countries have. So almost every dimension of inequity has been accentuated here. How imperative does that make it that a vaccine is truly equally distributed and the rich and the privileged dont just get in the front of the line . Its just wonderful to hear bill gates speak like that. I hope everybody listens to him and think deeply about what it means to be an american when we are part of such an inequitable system right now. It is both important for reasons ever equity and fairness and justice that we have that kind of a distribution and it is also important to stop the epidemic. If kids are getting the disease in higher numbers who are from less privileged environments or racially different environments, they are still going to be broadcasting that virus to everyone else and as long as this virus is affecting anyone anywhere its affecting everyone everywhere, and thats what a pandemic is, and we need to be extraordinarily careful that we find every place that it is and vaccinate everybody that we can. Its a shared problem, but the solutions are also shared. They require a shared effort. Dr. Larry brilliant, always good to have you on. Thank you for having me. Thank you, doctor. Nearly 90 active wildfires are scorching millions of acres still out west despite science. The president refuses to say that Climate Change has anything to do with it.

Hurricane sally is currently pummeling the gulf coast, now a category 1 storm with torrential rain. Category 1 means gusts up to 90 Miles Per Hour. It is crawling at an agonizingly slow pace, just 3 miles an hour. What does that mean . That means some areas are seeing close to two feet of rain with more than three feet predicted for parts of the coast. Right now highwater rescues are under way in Gulf Shores Alabama and thats close to where sally made landfall and well have more in just a moment. This dire situation continuing out west. 87 fires burning, more than 4. 7 million acres across ten states. California one of the hardest hit clearly here, bracing for intense winds that can exacerbate this. During the meeting in the state on monday the president refused to say that Climate Change was playing a role in the growing number and intensity of these fires. My next guest had a lengthy conversation with the president with that meeting and explaining the causes of the fires and tom porter, the director of california forestry and fire protection. Good morning. Thanks for being here. Thank you, poppy. Good to be here. Lets begin, chief porter with the reasons why you think it has been so hard this year to get a handle on these fires . Well, weve been having successive years of drought throughout the west coast, but also the Southwestern United States and while we have had a couple of wet years here and there thats not been enough to really saturate the soils and really give the vegetation the moisture it needs to remain healthy and resilient to wildfire. So the fuels are very dry, fires are growing very much fuel driven meaning theyre not necessarily needing wind or slope to drive where the fires going to go and then its just its a really difficult situation. We have overgrown forests in some areas. We have grass everywhere which is very easy to get going, as well. Lets speak to those overgrown forests in areas because you spent a lot of time explaining this to the president and it is important for people to know that it is the federal government that manages 57 of the forest land in the state of california and then you have the state managing a small percentage and then 40 being private land, but the president has continuously blamed those like you in charge of managing the forests. Listen to this. Well, i think this is more of a management situation. It is about Forest Management. Please remember the words, very simple. Forest management, please remember that. [ cheering ] its about Forest Management and other thing, but Forest Management. Can you reply directly to that criticism . Well, i think Forest Management is the key and doing more prescribed burning and also active management through our partnerships with the Timber Industry as well as environmental groups and conservancies who all have a piece all of californias forests are in peril. Weve seen the entire state as i was mentioning previously drying out. The soil is not supporting the trees to be healthy and resilient. There are too many trees on the landscape in certain areas and theyre dying. So what we need to do is find a way to turn back the clock, to even more than a hundred years ago as far as the numbers of trees on landscape and be able to run prescribed fire under those areas. Its very key that 57 is federal land and we need that partnership in order to make a difference. Right. Its not just the responsibility of the state of california. There is a big federal role here to play. Before you go, listen to this exchange from the room. You were in with the president on monday about the impact of Climate Change on all of this. It will start getting cooler. You just watch. I wish science agreed with you. Well, i dont think science knows, actually. Science does know. What are the consequences of the president not believing that . Well, its hard to say. I mean in Forest Management, forests can be very resilient and i would have to say that the planet is getting warmer. We know that and trees are going to have a Significant Impact from that warming of the climate. Were starting to see that forests that are typically just in the mountaintops in Southern California are starting to go away. The southern sierra. Were seeing massive dieoff from trees from epidemic beetle levels and now were starting to see fires and devastating type of activities in the redwoods which doesnt happen. In our lifetimes this is not happening. In 2000 years it has happened, but not in our lifetime in our time on this land. Chief porter, thank you for your time, but more for what you all are doing out there around the clock. Thank you, poppy and thanks for this interview. Of course. Jim . Those folks are being stretched to the limits. We wish them luck. As sally batters the luck, theyre relying on critical date that was collected by hurricane hunters. I will be speaking with one of those folks who flies right through those storms. Thats coming up next. Knowing who we are is hard. Its hard. Eliminate who you are not first, and youre going to find yourself where you need to be. The race is never over. The journey has no port. The adventure never ends, because we are always on the way. Im making pizza on kings hawaiian mini subs. Yum kings hawaiian. Welcome back. Hurricane sally is slowly battering the gulf coast and officials are right now relying on Critical Data collected by an air force team known as the hurricane hunters. These are brave people. Hours ago right before landfall krus made their final flight into the storms eye wall. With me now is major kendall dunn, he is a 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron pilot and oversaw the ground operations for the flights for sally. Good to have you on. Youll have to tell me later what its like to fly through one of these things, but tell us in particular whats different about this storm, what you learned by flying through it. Yes, sir. Good morning. The thing about sally, this storm was very, very slow moving. We were tracking it here point by point each time our aircraft made a pass through the center, we would actually plot our coordinates here, and it was blowing us away. It was basically at a standstill. It wasnt moving so we set our plan in place to hit the storm. Were used to seeing a storm moving 12 knots, moving out pretty quickly, but this thing wasnt moving at all so it had a chance to build and surprisingly, it reduced in strength a little bit and then blew it to a cat 2 right before landfall. Weve been showing pictures as youve been talking and some of them look beautiful from inside the eye wall and on this particular storm you were managing through the ground operations and you didnt fly through this, but have flown through many before. Just so folks at home know whats it like . How do you experience the power when youre inside one of these things . We say its hours of boredom with moments of sheer terror and its the truth. I just flew a storm last week off belize, the belizian coast and coming off of honduras and places like that and youre relaxed having water and a drink and all of a sudden its 200 miles an hour winds, 2 gs to winds all over the place and jockeying the aircraft and trying to keep it level while our meteorologists in the back are doing their job gathering data and theyre calm back there and they dont realize how tough it is up front, but it can get pretty hairy. The way you describe it is the way people describe combat. Hours of boredom and moments of terror. I wonder this. Youve had some experience watching these things up close. Have you noticed the storms change over time, right . Because theres talk about how Climate Change is influencing the intensity of these things and the frequency. Et cetera. I know thats a bigpicture idea and from inside, have you noticed change over time . Well, the biggest thing, sir, every storm we go in, we name them so they become a personity to us and its like every person you meet on the street and some have a strong personality and a weak one and youre surprised over time. A lot of people on the gulf coast remember, we have maria, jose, and irma and they were all backtoback and all cat 5s coming across africa and you make one pass through the storm and each pass is about an hour and 45 minutes getting into the mid of it and it could be nothing and you come back in and it will shock you to death. As far as overall change over time. You hear the old timers that were here for 20 years and they have some of the strongest ones and it ebbs and flows and over time, you just never know. We had katrina that we lived through in the mississippi gulf coast and it was terrible. We havent had it since and hopefully we wont have them for a while. Well, we hope not and i know the folks in louisiana watch these storms so closely because that experience. Major kendall dunn, please be safe next time you go up and thanks for coming on. Absolutely. Have a good day. Coming up, you know the company probably for posts it and scotch tape and 3m is known all over the world for that n95 mask that they make. Our exclusive interview with the chairman and ceo is next. Well deliver a billion respirators and n95 respirators in this year in 2020. So its really an amazing, we doubled with our idle capacity and we doubled again with these additional investments. If you have risk factors like heart disease, diabetes and raised triglycerides,. Vascepa can give you something to celebrate. Vascepa, when added to your statin,. Is clinically proven to provide 25 lower risk from heart attack and stroke. Vascepa is clearly different. First and only fda approved. Celebrate less risk. Even for those with family history. Dont take vascepa if you are. Or become allergic to icosapent ethyl or any inactive ingredient in vascepa. Serious side effects may occur like heart rhythm problems and bleeding. Heart rhythm problems may occur in more people. With persistent cardiovascular risk or who have had them in the past. Tell your doctor if you experience an irregular heartbeat or other heart rhythm problems. Possible side effects include muscle and joint pain. Celebrate less risk. Added cardio protection. Talk to your doctor about adding protection with vascepa. Im going to start the bidding at 5. Thank you, sir. Looking for 6. 6 over there do i hear 7 . 7 in the front 7 going once. Going twice. Sold to the onion lover in the front row next up is lot number 17, a spinach and artichoke dip, beautifully set in a hollowedout loaf of sourdough bread. Dont get mad get e trade and get more than just trading investing. Banking. Guidance. Welcome back. We are already months into fighting this pandemic and months into this fight to keep our Critical Health care workers protected. 3m has found itself carrying a lot of that burden and its a company probably known for scotchtapes and postit notes and its the single largest producer of the crucial n95 mask. I spoke with 3 m chairman and ceo about that pressure, this battle to meet demand and their move now to create a rapid covid test. I do want to talk about the rapid tests that youve been developing with m. I. T. For covid19. The goal is to deliver results in minutes. How far are you, do you believe, are you away from the answer and what do your initial results tell you about the accuracy . With the National Institutes of health, we have that partnership under way. We are working right now on developing an accurate and rapid test, and theres more work to be done there, but as we move forward we can bring 3 m technology to rapidly scale that. We are right in the middle of really developing the accurate test. Okay. We need to take a couple of more steps before we can put a time line out there and it needs to be proven out. Lets talk about n95 respirators or masks. You are on the path to produce 95 million a month this fall, to produce 2 billion by the end of 2020. Did you ever, though, mike, model for a pandemic of this magnitude. I know you learned a lot after sars, but what about a pandemic like this . Yeah. The investment that we put in place coming out of sars was the first step in fighting this kind of scale of pandemic. Well deliver a billion respirators and n95 respirators in this year, in 2020. So its really an amazing we doubled with our idle capacity and we doubled again with these additional investments and the time line to put those investments in place has been tremendous acceleration over what is even the most rapid approach in normal times. I know you guys surged capacity way early. At the end of january you started doing this and one in three nurses in this country say they are short or out of n95 masks and an er doctor who is a good friend of mine is reusing theirs and trying to put it in a paper bag to get it sanitized and repeating and repeating and they were totally out of them in their hospital in june and july, so ill ask a simple question, but one a lot of people have, why is it still so hard for folks to get n95 masks . Well, its the as i said, its the capacity that we had available and the demand that came out of the pandemic. We were not in a position to meet that demand. Even today the demand for n95s is greater than not only our production capacity, but the entire industry. So were still facing a challenge to meet that demand because we are working in partnership to other countries to look at ways that you can reuse n95 and were looking for ways to bring other respiratory solutions and we have Reusable Respirators which is another solution. They cant meet all of the demand either and there are other things were doing to fight them at every angle. I just wonder what the lesson is learned for the country Going Forward if we have another pandemic and if you think the u. S. Wasnt prepared for this. Look how much was lacking in the national stockpile. Was that a failure of the administration and of congress . I think one of the lessons thats clearly already being learn side investing in inventory and capacity, and its yeah. . Its publicprivate partnerships doing that and part of the investment with the dod is to have capacity to have inventory of n95. We are do that in partnership with Health Care Providers making sure that they have sufficient inventory and so theres a learning thats coming out of this pandemic that broadly, we were not ready for the demand. Can you tell me about that moment when you found out how big this was going to be and your huge role as a company in it . It was a very serious moment for us, a big responsibility, but something that we were ready for and passionate about and i dont i think im very proud of the way we stepped forward without hesitation. We did things more quickly than we would in any other situation. We have 80 factories in 29 states and we produce nearly everything we sell in the u. S. In factories in the u. S. Including our largest production of n95 respirators. We do that around the world. We do that locally for the demand locally and we have not offshored production to import back in the u. S. Weve managed to bring some capacity that we have available around the world back into the u. S. And a significant amount to make a difference. Right. Youve been bringing some masks from china, from asia back to the united states. Right, and thats an opportunity to really bring our supply to the hot spots. Youre such a bellwether for the economy. Are you seeing good signs . Are you seeing a slowing . Well, theres still a lot of uncertainty out there, and there have been encouraging signs and youve seen improvements in areas like automobile builds and weve seen i would say, strength in areas like Home Improvement and continued demand in areas like personal protective equipment and boy owe pharma filtration and we have seen sequentially momentum in the end markets. You guys Just Announced a major investment in diversity a 50 million fiveyear commitment to addressing the racial opportunity gaps in this country. Following the killing of george floyd in both of our hometown. The twin city, the town that 3m calls home. You had a candid series of conversations with black employees at 3m. As a white man with considerable power in that city in your company, what did you learn from that . It was, as you said, the killing of george floyd. It hit us all hard. It hit our 3mers and it hit us all hard and for me it was a call to action and i do believe that companies and Company Leaders can and need to make a difference. You have a 13member leadership team, none of those members are black. You do have two of 11 Board Members that are africanamerican. Do you think that that needs to change . Do you think that you can make the changes you want to make internally without more diversity at the top . We have 60 of our top 100 leaders are diverse. A third of our board is diverse including the two that you mentioned. We have a third of our Senior Leadership is diverse. That said, theres much more to do especially with underrepresented groups and we have to make sure were doing both in order to really step up and take the leadership responsibility that we have. We had about a half an hour conversation about a lot of stuff. You can listen to all of it on our boss files podcast. Our full interview there with 3m ceo mike roman. Theyre right in the middle of it, you know . Yeah. From the beginning of the response and theyll play a role Going Forward as we continue to live with this. Will there be enough masks . Its a key question. Thanks so much to all of you are if joining us today. Im poppy harlow. Im jim sciutto. Newsroom with our colleague john king starts right after the break.
