Thank you for joining us, tonight for the first time had in 15 years, we have for the very latest im joined by abc chief meteorologist. Its strengthening ask it approaches you in alabama, where do you see it landing . Reporter im in the heart of mobile, and they have sand bags in front of that store, and that is for good reason. On the satellite. It got a lot better organized as we went through today, and thats going tong it moves really painfully slow to the west northwest, it will finally start to make the northern tick tomorrow afternoon and evening and we expect landfall around midnight or therefore, early wednesday morning. So, its a slow storm, that means that rain is going to be a big time issue. And part of the slowdown is that stationary front, making it almost a fence. You see we stopped the clock at about midnight. It looks like it should make land fall close to pasgagula, mississippi, if it does as a cat two, thats the strongest since katrina in 2005. Theres always multiple
Counties. It has burned nearly 370,000 acres and is 35 contained this morning, 5 people have died. 4 others hurt. And the fire destroyed over 1000 structures and threatened more than 30,000 others.

The county Sheriffs Office says that of the roughly 1000 homes in the affected burn area about a 150 are safe enough to allow reentry. Some residents tell us that they fear their home home was completely gone only to learn later through a firefighter that that was not the case. And in the same week not everything was only all cried remember van and were hearing all of that because houses was like wow thats great. I can imagine a deep sigh of relief. Well the county set up a Re Entry Center at Mission Church and thus were evacuees approved to head home can get passes that will allow them through those checkpoints to keep in mind you have to be approved first. Well firefight

This area and many others are still under a mandatory Evacuation Order however officials have started lifting and let that order just for the day to let families visit their properties to assess the damage all the while cal fire has gained containment, its now up to 35 contained as robin said earlier, but its grown to just under 370,000 acres now we caught up with a family who is having to deal with rebuilding it theyre going to have to do it at some but a woman told us exact
