As the storm comes ashore. everything is well lit, we have battery power at our lives location but if you walk a few feet in either direction it is pitch black. if you are out and about which officials urge there may be debris on the ground, live power lines on the ground. we have been going throughout the morning seeing green flashes as transformers are knocked out by heavy winds. there is the possibility that the eye of the storm could come over wrightsville beach. it is relatively calm, cente...

Letters. but back here in wrightsville beach, barrier island off the coast of wilmington, we are beginning to feel the brunt of the storm. its possible that the eye of the storm later today will pass over us, that relative calm period of the storm. local officials urging people in shelters not to be lulled into a sense of complacency. many people like to go out and explore during the eye, but there is a chance there is dangerous debris on the ground, potentially live power lines. they are tellin...

Over the past 20 years and a lot of storms that came and dodged and missed and went on. some were very concerned about a sense of complacency. i do not get that sense at all from speaking to the people who live and work here. however, pete, i really want to caution our viewers here. we are in the early stages of what could be a several day event. especially to the north and northwest of our location in wilmington as that water goes up the river and we approach high tide and the storm continues t...

Damage, theres dangerous debris, there may be live power lines on the ground. so they are urging people to stay in their shelters through the entire duration of this storm, not be lulled into a sense of complacency if and when the eye passes over. then adam was mentioning the flooding in new bern. this is further up the coast, because of a different wind direction, the wind is pushing water towards the shore, not only on the beach, but up trick ooowtributaries. a gauge measured floodwaters of up...

Very small branches down on the streets. only superficial damage. this part of the island, at least, seems to have pulled through very well. its not over yet. we are just in the center of the storm. officials are telling people not to be lulled into complacency by when the eye passes over because the other side of the storm, the other side of the eye wall is likely to come over once again, hurricane force winds, this time in the opposite direction and you dont want to get caught out in that. als...

Operating off of generators. the barrier islands bring up a good point here because as the storm here has come around from the northeast and down, the barrier islands have almost acted like a funnel rather than protecting north carolina, they have funneled a lot of the storm surge in and that is what we are seeing the effects of. obviously, as storm continues overnight, we see the effects tomorrow and for days to come. even those category 1, very little reason to think that it will be anything s...

Point it looks like it is going to take the southern dip. thats catching some people by surprise. so i would say complacency is probably the biggest danger as you think about charleston, edistow, the areas down this way. >> how concerned are you about the flooding in charleston and along the south carolina coast? >> well, it depends on the storm track. you know, if were on the southern side ultimately of the eye, it is good news as it relates to storm surge because typically it is on the norther...

Make or break the party, donald trump, seems pathologically incapable of standing down and letting a booming job market do the talking. cautious democrats that i talk to say the democrats have to be sure not to just think donald trump is going to be enough to get them elected. so how do they either take advantage of this environment that charlie sykes talks about or not get in their own way? >> well, i remember a time not too long ago where conventional wisdom said -- was very certain about how ...

When he says knife fight in an alley, its money? is this a bit of strategy from mitch mcconnell? >> yeah, its all about money. they want to raise money for their candidates right now. with the way super pacs operate, they dont tend to always give to the committee as much so theyre saying we need some committee money. >> got it. >> i think hes also hurting because the president keeps standing up and saying this red wave is coming and everything is fine and republicans are going to trounce everywh...

As powerful as al qaeda was then and that they are still in syria and iraq in huge numbers. fighting this, it really takes a lot of money. it takes a lot of people. i think from the public, it takes a sense of not forgetting. today when i saw the president going off on the justice department, im thinking stop. just stop for a day, will you? we dont need that. we need is for all of us to see you know what, we love our country. we need to hang together, and we need to be vigilant. >> greg: jed, i ...
