Individually but also how the city helps them out. >> yeah, jim what we do is we have a whole storm water system. we have moved out generators to pump water out when it comes. we have already queued generators and pumps. we have 85 pumps in the system. 857 storm water systems. we are prepared. right now we are cleaning the streets and cleaning all of the entire water system to make sure that when more debris comes its not sitting upon debris already there. were getting the system ready to pump w...

Uncertain seas. our plea really to everybody is secure your boat this weekend but dont go out in it. >> captain mark vlaun, thank you, sir. >> thank you, don. >> joining me now from gainesville, the former fema administrator mr. craig fugate. mr. fugate, always a pleasure to have you on. unfortunately, we have to talk under such circles most of the time. hurricane dorian has proven very difficult to track. there is a huge cone of where it could make landfall. all 67 counties in florida under a s...

How do you know that youve done enough to prepare. >> and this is something that every homeowner has to answer for him or herself. we have a seasoned team doing everything we can at the community level. whats even more important is that the people of port st. lucie and everyone in that cone of probability are taking the time to number one shutter or board up their home. two, make sure you have enough food, water and medicine for each person in the house. by the way, a lot of people dont know wha...

Right now? >> like you said, don, i think the biggest challenge right now, everybody is having problems honing in on what location its going to make landfall. its looking like its going to be somewhere in florida, but that doesnt mean the carolinas and georgia and maybe down to the keys -- you know, it could hit up in there in those areas. those areas arent out of the cone potentially of danger as well. but right now the national hurricane center, they do have that cone of the most predictable a...

Florida coastline. all of the models starting to converge. i will show you in a moment. the convection here on the satellite, looking more and more impressive, even though it is fighting off dry air, starting to get overshooting cloud tops, a sure sign that this storm continues to strengthen and strengthen it will do, continuing, for the next 48, 72 hours. but what i want you to notice is this large cone here, on the path of uncertainty, it is large, because it is expected to slow down in forwar...

Minus a hundred miles from where the center of the line would be to the outside of the cone here to the outside of the cone here. now because the storm is getting closer, the models get better and the cone gets smaller and smaller. by the time it gets there, our cone would even be smaller. thats just how it works. this is going to come on shore 140 miles per hour storm. this is just where we think the middle will be. itll lose a little steam on shore but thats because its on shore at 130. really...

Be out of the cone for the storm to do something like this and then come out here and be in the ocean the entire time. that would still be in the cone of error. so theres still the possibility. thats not the forecast but its still the possibility. the closer you are to the middle of the cone, the closer you are to the highest chance of what were going to see. the storm eye popped just about 30 minutes ago. that means its starting to intensify. they kept it at 110 miles an hour. i think 110 is pr...

State of florida for several days and dropping copious amounts of rain is enough to make you act. thats the variables at play here. plenty of things on the table at the moment. were looking at all possibly.what we know now from the national hurricane center, 85 miles per hour as you so aptly put. this is a category 1, but the storm is strengthening quickly. we currently have two hurricane hunter planes. this is actually a new figure that just came out. 106-mile-per-hour wind found within the cen...

Across the state and be on the other side into the gulf of mexico. you can see where the cone still is. its because at orlando the number one over that area, that is still five days away. five days to watch this thing lumber across a very warm atmosphere. i dont see an eye this morning. and thats good. if you dont see the eye, that means the storm isnt getting bigger. it isnt getting deeper. it isnt getting stronger. but as you mentioned, talking about the models, they are all in agreement now. ...
