Go to the beach, you drive over the big coastal highway, this is england by about 8 miles. its our first drive along look like this to see what things are like and its great to see all these trees still standing, there are a lot of limbs in the road, having some connection problems there with the mobile hook up, we are probably using a live view here which is a piece of equipment that connects to the internet signals and broadcasts these live pictures. you see a tree there split in half on the l...

The problem is, the population has increased by about 25% since hugo. we hate comparing storms, because each storm is completely different. these are both very powerful storms, though. so it is a decent comparison. but with the population increase, the storm surge, and the rain already on saturated ground, the storm has the potential to be a lot worse. >> so jennifer, the idea that this may become a cat 3 by the time it actually makes landfall, i mean, thats obviously better than it being a 4, s...

Incredibly strong storm, why might it go down to a 3? and is that new information? because i remember yesterday, tom sater talking about the possibility of this storm not being able to maintain itself as a 4. >> well, i think thats basically because this storm is going to slow down so much, the steering currents for this storm are basically going to go away in the next three to five days. so this storm is going to sit right off the coast. and when it does that, its going to continue to shred tha...

Uncertainty that half of it is onshore, half is off. so any snacenario is possible, t they curve it. this is days and days and days of rainfall until the system kicks off towards knoxville. when it comes to the rain, however, and this is a big, big deal here, much like harvey, which slowed with no steering currents, you could outwalk it, we may be able to outwalk this one, too. im concerned about all of the rain up into the northeast. they have had flood problems in pennsylvania, upstate new yor...

Happening, and how well prepared we are. >> thank you, mr. president. unfortunately hurricane florence is setting out to be a devastating event to the carolinas and potentially virginia as well. as you can see, theyre forecasting a major landfall storm, category 3 or category 4 at landfall. biggest hazard we are worried about is storm surge, primary driver of the evacuations under way by the states of north carolina and south carolina, virginia now. as the system comes in and makes landfall, dur...

Trouble. the two major models, the european model, thats in blue. you cant see it because its underneath the u.s. model. they are in total agreement right now, but watch what happens as were into friday now at 1:30 in the morning and then no landfall. one of the things weve noticed that we should mention now, this doesnt mean this is going to happen, i want to show you what the european model is saying this may occur. were going to possibly lose the dominant steering currents. i remember saying ...

Coast, still catastrophic because if its over water, the engine continues to purr. were going to continue to follow the national hurricane stats. we see the time stamps getting closer, which still brings it on shore, but until we get closer to our landfall, late tomorrow, were not going to know definitely what the system may do and what those steering currents may be. so, the changes keep coming but theres no doubt this is a major hurricane that most likely this area of north carolina hasnt seen...

Whats going to be happening and how well prepared we are. >> thank you, mr. president. unfortunately, hurricane florence is setting up to be a devastating event to the carolinas and virginia as well. theyre forecasting a major land falling storm. the biggest hazard were worried about is storm surge. thats the primary driver of the evacuations that are underway by the states of south carolina, north carolina and virginia right now. as this system comes in and makes landfall during the weekend its...

Satellite. the sun is going down. i want to point out before we give it a break for the night, there is no eye yet. noaa aircraft just reporting, however, that its strengthening. by tomorrow, it could be a category 3. further strengthening as we see a possible landfall late thursday into friday. maybe as early as thursday afternoon. the entire east coast of the u.s. will see the surf start to churn, the rip currents will become dangerous, and to pinpoint it, really for a landfall, this is going ...

Move iing through lakeland as w speak. its this band thats offshore on the east coast thats producing some frightening flash floding that continues to make its way north of melbourne. >> is it still about 14 miles per hour? >> it is. significantly faster than it was yesterday when it was about 6 or 7. so again, that will add to the track when they take the speed, the center point, the possible movements with the steering currents, were going to find our track a little more inland but thats not u...
