Storm off the coast of florida. this is 8:00. 130-mile-per-hour winds. i do want to look at this path because this did change a bit with the 2:00 advisory. you notice a cone of concern right here? well expand it out in just a bit. it is a little further to the north and then it still keeps it off the coast. that is the good news and what were focusing on. it still does not take away the big concern of storm surge, heavy rainfall, and also very damaging winds. well track this. hour by hour over t...

Harbor, it is almost over the top of the free port area for 24 straight hours. well finally see that drift north. when you wake up tomorrow morning, im watching free port, the storm is just north of freeport. if its over freeport or west of freeport, then were on this side ft o cone. the whole -- side of the cone. the whole key, once it takes that northwards turn, we want that to be as early as possible. then it would be on this side of the cone, farther away from the florida coastline. thats go...

Accelerate it out through the northeast and moved away by that trough later in the week. however, until this happens, we started to see a west-northwest bent now. but it is still moving so slowly. that means you can see this area thats in the cone of uncertainty from palm beach, orlando, jacksonville, charleston, cape hatteras. we may see a landfall, the european model just coming in now, starting to intimate that maybe that line crosses over into the carolinas. we may have a landfall there. wel...

And then it continues to shoot jo, its exactly the argument out into the atlantic. that pro-gun advocates make of look at this, boston is just the idea that more guns would outside of the cone of uncertainty. heres the problem, weve had a make it safer if more hands. texans own more guns than high pressure ridge. now, we expect that to break citizens of any other state and down and allow a little trough to move through. now also the proud owners of pick this thing up and shoot it four deadly mas...

3 feet can cut you off from any kind of help. a 6-foot storm surge is to the top of your home, the top of your first floor i should say, and with a good wind, that can destroy a home. and when you get to 9 feet, thats moving into second floors of homes and can really wreak havoc. so this is where we see the most death is due to storm surge. so it is very important that folks all along that cone of uncertainty especially from west palm beach up to jacksonville, even to stay vigilant. were not say...

May never hit america. >> right. >> but thats not the problem that a lot of people are going to face. >> no, it really isnt. the problem is that as this cone starts to push up and you will see again it stays here and whats been keeping it -- whats been mind-boggling, ali, this is moving -- its forward speed has been 1 mile per hour since 5:00 a.m. >> very little in nature moves closer than i do. >> you and me both. so its expected to break down and as it pushes up and makes its way along the coa...

System is doing. its out. the west at 1 mile per hour, but its so trying to shift and it will completely park out over freeport into marsh harbour for the next 36 hours here. that is catastrophic for that area. this elevation of the northern bahamas is at sea level here. so were going to see that storm surge and the flooding really be an issue. were forecasting potentially up to 20 inches of rain. so now we do have hurricane warnings that are in place for southern florida here. i do expect the n...

Quickly. you dont even know necessarily that its coming and then 60 seconds that water goes from two inches to ten feet. >> right. it comes in fast. very fast here with four to seven inches here across these coastal areas. and i dont think that we will see that in the next 36 hours. with the stall out of the system right now, its really not doing to happen very quickly so we still have some time to prepare. i think by tuesday, we really have the threat of that storm surge. but these outer bands,...

Suggesting it might go in here. >> this is where we saw it last year. >> yes. and pushed out and in boston almost within the cone of uncertainty. ali, as you know, these tropical storms continue to cause storm surge and that will be the problem. here you look, you can see right now this is by tomorrow afternoon, hurricane-force winds are just 20 miles offshore so when you get a wobble of 10 or 15 miles to the west, all of a sudden those hurricane-force winds are on shore and inland a little bit....
