Up. North carolina joining South Carolina ordering folks along the coast to get in their cars and get out and fast no mystery why. Florence is already making history now. It could soon be a category 5 storm packing winds in excess of 150 Miles Per Hour. There is really nothing to stop it or slow it the National Hurricane center is set to issue an update at any moment. Ahead of that, we have got you covered with Rick Leventhal in Wrightsville Beach and adam klotz in the Weather Center why it is looking for and more like a huge exodus. We begin with rick. Hey, rick. Neil, the size of this storm is staggering and the track seems pretty certain to hit the carolina coast. And thats why governors in both north and South Carolina issued mandatory evacuation orders for coastal areas. About a Million People in South Carolina are being told to head for higher ground. I26 all the way from charleston to columbia is all lanes westbound. Also being told to move out and away from the coast. The outer banks here in Wrightsville Beach evacuation orders in effect. The bridge between here and wilmington will close tomorrow at 8 00. Thats it. No one else is able to get in or get out. Were just off of the ocean here. We want to show you this 26 unit condo under development and there are efforts underway to clear all the debris out of here. As you know if and when all this stuff hits it could go flying. They loaded three flatbeds to get the possible deagree out of the area. P. J. Kelly is building these homes and you also live here. You have been here 25 years. Are you and your friends and family staying or going . Well, we have chosen to stay, rick. On the beach here obviously a mandatory evacuation the low lying areas you need to be careful with flooding. In you are inland a little bit, board up your windows have a generator and you will be in good shape. Have you seen the size of the thing and it does look to be coming right this way. It has. Its a little intimidating. Turning north a little bit. We like to see that. But i think all in all, you know, we will be okay at the end of the day. These homes that you are building you said were rated for 130 miles plus per hour. This storm could get up to 150, 150 even. It is. Obviously the condos at Wrightsville Beach are built for the wind code. Build for storm surge. My guys have done a good job cleaning up the site. Getting the debris and lumber out of here. I dont foresee any problems. We hope there arent. We will be here. If it does i will help you put it back together. I would hold you to that. It serious business. The mayor says they have ready for this. They have evacuated many times. Right now the flow is smooth from Wrightsville Beach away and they fully expect water to be turned off by tomorrow night and power likely to go out. Not just here but across the state for hundreds of thousands of customers. Neil all right, rick. Thank you very much. Hurricane florence a massive storm. This time laps video taken by a hurricane chaser shows you how big this monster is. Expected to gain strength as is doing so right now. Meteorologist adam klotz give my hats off they warned us about this when there wasnt anything approaching this. Now that it is, man o man, adam. Yeah, its big as you said its only going to intensify forecasted to here from today running into tomorrow. Ends winds currently at 130 Miles Per Hour. It does look by the time we get into the middle of wednesday winds ump jing up to 130 to 140 to 150 Miles Per Hour as it continues to the coast. Maybe as it approaches the coast the winds back off a little bit. Thats what the current models are suggesting falling down to 140 to 120. Maybe a category 3 storm. This is a major hurricane and all the effects we have been talking about, it is still going to bring those effects stretching along the carolina coast. Likely we are looking at spots anywhere from running in to charleston all the way up to norfolk, virginia. Wherever this ultimately makes landfall, that is where you will see the largest storm surge. Thats going to be one of the Major Concerns up 6 to 12 feet of storm surge. Areas of North Carolina where flooding couldnt just be the beach. Flooding inland even farther because of those lee lying areas. The other story is going to be rain as it this system eventually works its way on land with storm surge. You start to add 20 to 30 inches of rain in isolated areas and the flooding is going to be even worse. You see large areas where we are talking about those rains getting up over potentially two feet. Why would that happen . Why would we get so much rain . Here is the system we have got, again, pretty tight path there. Are urunning you into the carolinas. Indecision. Current models suggesting this stalls out. Begins to spin around the coast a little bit more. You see it there all the models arent necessarily in agreement where it spins. But if you start to slow down and sit there a while, neil, thats where you see these numbers beginning to pile up. We have got hurricane warnings now stretching again from the South Carolina all the way up into the outer banks. That has a lot to do with these winds which are going to be in 120 to 130 mileperhour range. The rain and storm surge, thats what i am most concerned about at this hour, neil. Neil all right, buddy, thank you very much. Adam klotz. Meanwhile wrightsville, North Carolina is brace for a direct hit from florence and possibly a huge storm surge as adam pointed out this thing is going to hang around for a while. A lot of rain. And doesnt my next guest know it all too well the mayor of wilmington, delaware joins us on what is doing helping people in that area to deal with this. Will ming top, North Carolina. Mayor thank you for taking the time there what are you noticing now . What are people telling you . People are taking this very seriously. They have heeded the warnings. They know the size of this storm is pretty large. They know its coming right at us. And they are heeding the advice of the elected officials and the Emergency Management folks and making preparations and evacuating the area. Neil mayor, what do you do about people who say no, i dont want to leave. I dont want the hassle of leaving and i want to say right where i am . Well, you know, i have said this over and over again, but once this storm is underway, all emergency responders, First Responders will stay put until after the storm passes. We cannot come and get anybody out of their house or out of their car during the middle of storm. And thats where while we tell people evacuate, get out of the harms way, make the preparations, hunker down, because once this thing event is underway, we will not come get you until its over. And we want people to be safe. We want them toe stay alive. And we want them to get out of harms way. Neil you know, mayor, im noticing that the water surge on this could go quite a ways inland. Hundreds of miles inland as a matter of fact. Where do you recommend they go just as far inland as possible . What are they being told . Well, you know, we have asked people to start evacuating a couple of days ago. We anticipated the storms track is to hit the carolina coast anywhere from the South Carolina line all the way up to virginia. People have heeded that advice. A lot of people have already left the area. But, for those few or those that have decided to stay to the last moment, you still have time to get out. You got 40 heading west that will take you to the middle part of the state up into charlotte and ashville and greensville salem. Even going south going down 95. Down that way. But, we want people to get out of harms way. For those that are wanting to ride it out here in the wilmington area and a lot of people have decided they will try to ride this thing out. We want them to secure their homes. Board up their windows. Make sure they have flash flights and water and food and whatever they are going to need for a couple of days because we feel pretty confident that he would going to be without power for possibly a week or two. And, of course, inland areas we may have significant flooding that we have seen in the past where we have 24 to 30 inches of rain. People are not going to be able to get back to their properties or get back to the city in a very timely manner. You have got to get prepared. You need to heed the advice of the Emergency Management folks and get ready. Neil all right. Wise words all, mayor. Thank you for taking the time. You be safer and your fine folks as well. Bill satisf saffo. Mayor. John roberts is there. John . Fema director as well as Kirstjen Nielsen the secretary of dhs were here in the oval office a short time ago. Neil, the president is trying to get out ahead of this storm knowing how far devastating that its going to be. Learning from the mistakes of the past with some other administrations already acceding to governors to both the carolinas and virginia to declare an emergency declaration. It allows them to take steps that they wouldnt normally be able to take to try to get ahead of this thing. The president suggesting as well that he is ready and that this is going to be a bad one. Listen here. We are sparing no expense, we are totally prepared. We are ready. We are as ready as anybody has ever been. This is going to be a storm thats going to be a very large one, far larger than we have seen in, perhaps, decades. And a real warning this afternoon from the fema director brock long saying that, you know, as much as the wind is going to be a problem here, a bigger problem as you were hearing from just a moment ago is the fact that the hurricane is going to stall out after pushing to shore an anor must storm surge. There could be feet of rain in some areas. Director long saying that this is going to be as much a water event as a wind event. Listen here. Lets set the expectations as well. This has an opportunity of being a very devastating storm. The power is going to be off for weeks. You are going to be displaced from your home and the coastal areas. And there will be flooding in the inland areas as well. So, these are going to be statewide events. Statewide events. Its not going to be concentrated to just a confined area as we see with many hurricanes when they come ashore with that tight center of circulation. And you see hurricane winds extending out maybe 20, maybe 40 miles. Hurricane winds and devastating damaging winds will be much further out than that this could encompass entire states. The president getting his briefing from the dhs director, the dhs secretary as well as the fema director after going to shanksville, pennsylvania this morning for his second observance of this september 11th anniversary. 17 now in total. The president there in shanksville paying tribute to the 40 men and women on board flight 93 who died in an attempt to bring the plane down rather than letting it hit a target presumed to be somewhere in washington, d. C. The president also paying tribute to the nearly 7,000 Service Members he said have died facing down the menace of radical islamic terrorism. As commanderinchief, the president said i will always do everything in my power to prevent terrorists from striking american soil. According to terrorism experts i talked with today, a u. S. Intelligence as well as our allies have done a very good job in trying to hunt down and prevent any large scale terrorist attacks like 9 11 from happening again. Neil, these lone wolf attacks like we saw there in new york last year where the guy in the truck mowed down a total of 19 people, killing 8 of them on the greenway there in western manhattan, very much more difficult to try to prevent those from happening. But they are doing their best. Neil . Thats all they can do. All right, thank you my friend, john roberts. Thank you. A moment of silence corner of wall and broad New York Stock Exchange not all the money that was lost and financial opportunities take days to recoup for something far more important after this. [bell tolls. Tolls] age. Ladies and gentlemen, ourheroee marketplace. Neil that was six days after 9 11 and a lot of people thought once the market opened and was starting to crash and swoon big time it did, that it was a sign that lower manhattan, manhattan capitalism itself was in danger. That was not the deal with the fellow you just heard there and saw on top there the nyse chairman dick who joins us now. Always good to see you. Hi, neil. Neil not under these circumstances my friend. Opening after that and great deal of damage to facilities, operations, so many buildings in the area. But it was important that you open up for what reason . It was, neil. I mean, we had to recognize, obviously, with sensitivity that we had lost thousands of people here in new york and the pentagon and certainly in shanksville billions of dollars worth of damage to buildings in new york and the pentagon. But the reality, the attack was on our way of life, the american way of life. And what better proxy for americas resurgeons, americas recovery than to see the stock market reopen. It was volatile. It didnt take all that long but stabilize it did. You made a point you might have coined the expression at the time i remember talking to you forget the financial capital, neil, remember the human capital. Remember all the firms and securities and fitzgerald and marshall, and all of those many work on the floor of the exchange who were not going to be there and we somehow had to plow on . Two firms most dramatically affected. And losing over 650 people. You know, neil, today its so important, every anniversary to remember the 25 to 35,000 people came out of those two towers, thanks in large part to the efforts of those 343 firefighters, 23 new York City Police officers and 37 Port AuthorityPolice Officers who gave their lives. And the reopening was a statement to the terrorists. Youve killed thousands of people, youve destroyed billions in property. You can never defeat the american way of life. And what better an opening than to have an esu Police Officer and a new york city firefighter ring that opening bell, pump his big arms, billy fisher as he did, surrounded by the mayor, the governor, the treasury secretary, our two senators. Neil secretary clinton then senator clinton. They were all there. Neil no one was arguing. They sang. They sang God Bless America with me with the whole Trading Floor with the whole country who was watching. You know, it was a lesson then that we can take now. Everyone put aside whether you were democrat, republican, whether you were Goldman Sachs or merrill lynch. We were all americans and we had a job to do. And that was to send a message that american can never be defeated. Thats what that opening bell stood for. I was very proud to stand behind those Police Officers and firefighters because they and their brothers risked and in many cases gave their lives that some new yorkers, so many people from around the world came out of those towers got to go home to their families that night. Neil you know, you and i have talked over the years how new york was a target as it was in the First World Trade Center attack in 18993. Of course, it was the epicenter of the melt down in 2008. So, new york has bigger than normal target on it, doesnt it . Its the capital of capital throughout the world. And if you wanted to take a shot at the american way of life, you take a shot at the american stock markets. Neil do you think we have dropped our guard though . We were mentioning before that a quarter of the population today wasnt born at the time. I find that stunning but that we have gotten not cavalier but we have forgotten. You know, its important on the anniversaries to make certain those of us who were there, those of us who do revere what was done to save lives communicate effectively with those Young Americans that this is why we are here. This is what we do. And how we do it. And why this country can never be defeated. Neil well put, dick grasso, set last person to say it so i will say it not for him and remembering what was important, we would not have opened up so soon or capitalism tried to get back to normal. So quickly. That was important then as much as for the lives lost as the lives plowing on. That was then. I hope we remember it now what we got through. So every time people tell you about how horrific things are, look back then. We have gotten through much, much worse, my friend. [applause] does this map show the peninsula trail .

Saving you time for what you love most. Kids whoa kids vo safelite repair, safelite replace neil i still cant believe this 8 weeks from today midterm election. Stakes have never been higher than now take control of congress and how that could go republican polster chris wilson. If had you to hazard a guess right now, would republicans hang onto the house thats the gazillion dollar question. It really is depends on how you calculate predictions here. Based on the Party Generic ballot, the president s favorability then odds are republicans lose the house. If you look at it on the performance of the economy odds are republicans win the house. It really depends on how you want to base your forecast, neil. If it the election were held today i think republicans would keep the house by a small margin and frank live its really a tossup. They could end up losing it by a large margin. How could that coming down one side are the other. Neil i think they lose some seats but hang onto the house and hang onto the into the. You should run the other way from that prediction. You know, chris, i am wondering why the economy isnt benefiting more. It still might. But, im told in midterm elections, its less of a factor than the pent up rage of the other side people good economy are less inclined to go running out to the polls. Those concerned that they are not part of it or angry at the party in power that is are more likely to. What do you think . Anger is a bigger motivator than acceptance or appreciation for the economy and the tax cuts that have by any measure made the economy better and created more jobs. We have more jobs right now needing to be filled than people looking for jobs. Almost unprecedented in the economy. We are achieving unprecedented growth. From that standpoint, you are right, everything points to a situation in which voters should be rewarding. Republicans should be rewarding the president and turning out and giving them a bigger majority in the senate and bigger majority in the house. But right now, frankly, you are right, in that fear is more of a motivator and anger toward the party in power. Republicans have got to do a better job messaging on the economy and tax cuts is what it guess down to. Neil polls one out today cnn monmouth seem to show happiness and contentment about the economy is very high. It is. Neil less so overall approval numbers which dipped a little bit. Of course, this was all in the wake of the mccane funeral and Everything Else and then some other concerns and the woodward book. What do you make of that and whether the president is a draw or drag on the mid terms . It is. I have looked at several states where you have the in the goes into a state like north dakota or goes into a state like montana and has a wig impact on those races helping the republican nominee there i think there are a lot of places where the president is baking help fo a bighelp for the nominee. Other places it wouldnt be in the candidates best interest for the president to visit. I think they are being very strategic in travel schedule and its smart. Because there are a lot of places where he can be helpful and that seems to be where is he going as of the most recent campaign swings. Neil all right. Thank you very much. We will watch it closely. Joining us in our washington bureau. Keeping you posted as well on the doosie of a storm. Florence. Not the only storm but by far the most significant for the time being. There are a cluster of these storms forming and a lot of folks are wondering, they are all hitting at around the same time. No more so than this one which stands to affect fully a quarter of the american population. And it gets bigger and faster and meaner all the time. What you have to do whether you are in the director path of this or not. Even if its a better car class than the one you reserved. So no matter what, youre guaranteed to have a perfect drive. [laughter] vo go national. Go like a pro. See what i did there . crash some debt you plan for, some just. Happens. Putting it all on credit cards just wasnt working. But a loan through lending club was a cinch. No branch office, no stuffy suits. Consolidating our debt saved us nearly 300 a month. Thats not sofa change. We had enough to start saving again, and a little extra to send these two to summer camp. Being outdoors was good for them . vo check your rate at welcometotheclub. Com. Neil we are moments away from getting a briefing on Hurricane Florence right now category 4 size winds. How about category 5 maybe hours from now north of 150 Miles Per Hour with nothing to slow it or stop it. Were on it were planning on the flight being successful. The entire worlds watching. Five. Four. We need to fail down here so we dont fail up there. Three. Weve got this under control. Two. Youre a bunch of boys. You dont have anything under control one. First man. Rated pg13. What i just introduced you worto my parents. G . Psst craig and sheila broke up. What, really . Craig and shelia broke up . No, craig . What happened . I dont know. Is she okay . Craig and sheila broke up craig and sheila . As long as Office Gossip travels fast, you can count on geico saving folks money. Craig and sheila broke up what . Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Neil all right, by now you are probably sick of the being thrown at the storm because its open uninterrupted waters, warm waters at that gaining speed and danger. Its big. And it is category 5 potentially big by later on today. The former fema official joins us now. Thomas, thank you for taking the time. This is unusual in that nice to be with you. Neil thank you, sir. There is nothing that can slow it or even alter it for the time being. But what do you expect . There is extremely serious storm. Residents, i am hoping are going to evacuate evacuate immediately going to have extremely dangerous winds, historic flooding potentially. And the loss of life could be great. The best thing that everyone in North Carolina or South Carolina could do in lieu of this storm is to get to a safe shelter with your pets and ride out the storm there where emergency officials can help you. Do not stay in your home. Neil a lot of people ultimately decide to do that. I was talking to a man wilmington, North Carolina earlier, tom. And his deal was we cant help you if you stay there. We will try to get to you later. But a lot of people dont heed the advice. Maybe they are just put off and find it daunting that they would have to travel hundreds of miles inland or they cant find a place right now. Wherever it is, a good many opt not to do it. What do you say to that . I say if you are going to ride out the storm make sure you have enough water and food for at least five to maybe seven days. Second, if yo your home begins to get flooded turn off your electricity breaker. That could save your life. Third, do not try to navigate floodwaters, especially at night. A lot of people dont realize until the storm gets there thats its as bad as it is. What they try to do at the last minute is get out and that could be deadly. If you are going to stay, stay put. Neil very deadly for those who have to then rescue them or try to. Good luck on that. Correct. And, remember, most of these Law Enforcement and emergency officials are also going to be victims of this. This storm is to be 500 miles wide. Like i said, stay safe, heed the evacuation warnings. I think this is going to be a historic storm and i dont think anything is going to slow it down. Neil all right. This is one case i hope you are wrong but i dont think you are. Thank you for taking the time. My pleasure, sir. Neil to you as well the former fema official. Over the years i commemorate and look look back at 9 11. One individual, one familys story that stays with me. I was reminded of it yet again today. Ened ma my grandfather, you now have four grandchildren who never got the opportunity to meet you but love you very much and never go a day without thinking but. We miss you, grandpa. Who would have thought, who would have guessed . An Energy Company helping cars emit less. Making cars lighter, its a good place to start, advanced oils for those hardworking parts. Fuels that go further so drivers pump less. Improving efficiency is what we do best. Energy lives here. Neil maybe because i worked down there for so long and knew some folks and some were guests on this show, over the years, looking back at the 9 11 attacks, each year, every year, there are so many stories of that day that hit me. But, none, i really dont think, more than this next one. I think every year i had the pleasure of having it on my show. I watched him grow older and wiser. He lost his dad on 9 11. And the irony of him losing his dad on 9 11 didnt have to be that way. Ron was one of those who was doing his best to make sure everybody got out and we found out proof that he had gotten out himself, but he was holding the door open for everyone else to make sure they did. He went back to see that they were okay. And he lost his life and his son is here. And one of the things i love about rob and his beautiful family is its such a touching story, rob, i remember in the first few weeks when you didnt know your dads fate, you would leave out reeses Peanut Butter cups. We would. You know, in very difficult times, sometimes a moment of levity can help you do what you needed to do. And what we needed to do was look for my dad. Neil he loved them, right . He loved them. Had a heart condition. Wasnt allowed to eat them. I dont know if you love this a lot of people who arent allowed to eat things go ahead and eat them. Neil tell me about it what was so magical about it, even though this day, you goal to the memorial site and oftentimes when i go there, oftentimes some reeses pieces there or a reeses Peanut Butter cup. Your daughter two and a half years old is named reese. She is named reese after my dad and mozzarella. How about reeses. We went down there yesterday, she shared one. She didnt leave any behind. She doesnt know the whole sharing thing yet. Neil kind of like your dad you never gave up. Left out pictures and signs and notes and anything. But when did you find out for sure he didnt make it. I remember the moment, probably one of the toughest moments in my life. We were in our kitchen and we had been talking to a lot of people, fbi, firemen, policemen, and they said that there was a chance he could be alive. The New York Times came out and they talked about where people were. And i said to my family, i said and this is where he is. And someone said to me, rob, is he not there anymore. And we talked to some doctors and realized after three weeks he wasnt there anymore. And he had passed. And that was a moment i will always hold dear to my heart and what really started us focusing on what were going to do next for him and to honor him. Neil you know, it had to get your gut when you found out he had, in fact, gotten out. He was okay. It did. We knew that he was someone who would always put others first. It didnt surprise us and if you think about it, its such an honor to know in the last moments of his life he chose to tell people to get out of south tower when they were saying to stay. In he chose to lend his cell phone to a stranger that called his wife. We actually bumped into that woman today. She was reading alongside my niece, breanna. And she said thank you. And it was the last time her husband got to say i love you to his wife. And beautiful memories and focusing on how through his grandchildren we can create more memories. Neil and you are always so polite and patient with this line of questioning. I dont know whether i would be sad orbiter or angry or all of the above knowing my dad was safe and he put his life on the line as your dad did and died. It is all of the above. And i make a choice. And i choose to feel that way and then to focus on what i think might dad would want. Which is me spending my time and energy on helping people help themselves as well as enjoying life. I mean. Neil are you sure you are italian . I will tell you there is some downside to this whole thing. My mom is no longer allowed to cook italian meals on september 11th. The meatballs and sauces burn. [laughter] neil how is the family . They are doing well. I think whats beautiful is we are seeing other people step up. My wife today took charge and said, you know what . Were going to ask for a dave giving. Just sealing her with this program we do withhold the door for others. Using her expertise and communications and helping other people, were reaching so many more people and thats whats beautiful about september 11th. Neil when you go downtown thats very different for those who havent seen it since the Freedom Tower went up and new station down there its become a tourist mecca beyond the tragedy. Its a live vibrant place. Much more so than it was in the days when the trade center stood. What do you think your dad would think of it now . I think he would actually be very pleased with the way new york and new jersey did the memorial. Thats a place where. Neil its stunning. Its beautiful. Neil you just took your daughter there last night. We took her there last night and my wife said lets go to the museum. So around 5 30 we went to the museum. And thats tougher. You know, its more raw but its real. I think they did a beautiful job with that as well. Neil i always think, robb and you i have talked about it we lose loved ones over the years. But you are reminded of it every year when they show those planes going into the towers and Everything Else. Its a constant reminder. It cant get easier but you just get used to it or what . Well, we have to use the wisdom that we learn from our research in helping people. What i do is i actually watch videos of september 11th. I prepare for these things. Its not that it doesnt get me emotionally. Its just that im ready for it and i expect it. And, yeah, it is difficult. But you cant enjoy life if you dont know what suffering is. Neil i read a statistic. I dont know if its accurate, robert, Something Like a quarter of our population wasnt born at the time including my two sons. Im thinking wow, thats amazing. For them its just a history lesson. What is it for reese . For your daughter . Its so much more than that. At the museum she sees my dads picture and she says there is grand pa and she knows and sees firemen and policemen and says they are helping people. No matter where we are in the country. Thats part of my dads legacy. Thats pretty wonderful if you ask me. Neil it is. You know, we talk of the thousands who died since not only in war but a lot of those officers and Port Authority workers who develop all sorts of cancers and ailments, since then, theclipse even the number lost that day. It is staggering. It is staggering. Im grateful there is help. I also think that there needs to be more help for people who were probably hesitant to seek help. We need to figure out a way to touch them and there are some people that are feel too proud or feel guilty to get the help but its definitely needed. I hope more people can reach them because what they went through and did in many ways is just as bad as the families went through. I notice and i talk to some over the years and my production staff all the years we have been downtown who are bitter and angry and rightly. So but i never got a trace of that from you or your family. And i cant understand that even for a little bit. I never saw it. Yeah. It didnt. People ask me are you angry at usama bin laden . And i say i dont know usama bin laden. But i know people need help and thats where we are really going to put our energy and, yes, i never went through that and its okay if people do get to go through that anger. Its just that we dont want people to stay there and we want them to use that anger in a positive way and realize that they can live a happy, healthy life and love people again and be connected. Neil real quickly, what will your dad think of his son and author soon again and professor. He would probably tell me to stop talking so much. [laughter] neil all right. Rob fazio. We will have more after this. Hi. I just wanted to tell you that chevy won a j. D. Power dependability award for its midsize carthe chevy malibu. I forgot. Chevy also won a j. D. Power dependability award for its lightduty truck the chevy silverado. Oh, and since the chevy equinox and traverse also won chevy is the only brand to earn the j. D.
