Its weird when all hell is breaking lose in one part of the world and its normal. If you are watching me in florida, stop. Get the [ bleep ] out right now no, seriously. Welcome to the weekend, everyone. Im Anthony Mason along with with dana mason. The storm is the size of texas and its about to land on florida. Hurricane irma is now category 4 storm packing winds of 155 miles an hour. There are 20 stormrelated deaths across the caribbean. Irma is so big, 100plusmileanhour winds will batter floridas east and west coasts once it makes landfall. Irmas projected path has shifted to the west. The current track has the storm traveling up the gulf coast and into the southeastern United States by monday. This more than the outer bands are beginning to lash the keys with wind and rain. This was the scene overnight in georgia. Highway lanes heading north jammed with drivers fleeing irma. More than 5 million people, a quarter of floridas population was told to evacuate. We have a team of correspondents located along both of floridas coasts. We check in with lonnie quinn, weather forecaster from wcbs. Whats it look like . Good morning, everybody. Heres the deal. You are starting to see the outer bands make the way through the florida keys. Key west has had gusts of 66 miles an hour and youre quite a distance away from the storm. National Hurricane Center put out their 5 00 update. Very healthy storm, 55mileanhour winds. Officially a cat 4. Lets keep the number thing in perspective here. Cat 4 at 155 its nooufi imovin westnorthwest. Its slowed down in forward progress. We would rather have it come in and get out as quick a possible. Slowing down, 144 miles from miami. Million dollar question, where does it go . We cant tell you exactly. This does look to be more of a west coast florida event than east coast florida event. Had landfall along the northern coast of cuba, yet at this point in time, all hail the european model because they have been on top of this the entire time. Theyre the only one that called for that landfall. Theres your track, curving to the north some time late tonight and then we think overnight, sunday, maybe 2 00 a. M. Making landfall around the florida keys and pushing up the west coast of florida. Again, anywhere within the yellowshaded area is in play for eye wall landfall. The storm is going to cover the entire state. I do believe your storm surge is going toer on the west coast than east coast. East coast storm surge i think will max out about 5 feet. Could be up to 10 feet on the west coast. Whats interesting, you have to think about how that air is going to circulate. Its a counterclockwise spin. As this approaches from the south for those from west coast, marco island, for example, youll see the wind pushing water out of the bays. Thats not the problem. Its on the backside that you get that wraparound and this is going to be the problem. Its going to start off not a big deal with the surge. Winds will be popping but it will be on the backside that the eye passes that youll catch the big surge. Surge is going to be a big problem, winds, obviously, and rainfall a foot or more in some spots. Thats the latest. Ill be back with another update in an hour or so. Thank you, lonnie. The storm that veered west overnight, as lonnie said, made landfall as a c and ended up going farther inland than initially expected. This is what it looked like on the island. Regardless of where you are in florida, that forecast has the entire state basically on watch. Lets go now to miami where jeff glor leads our storm preparation coverage. Jeff . Reporter anthony, good morning 20 you. We are seeing the first bands here, the wind has increased significantly here just recently. We have not seen significant rain yet, but what we do see are everpresent lightning strikes in the background. The leading edge of irma here coming in. There is a sense of tension all across south florida that you can see and frankly feel right now. Here in miami, many stores and homes have been boarded up. Most have left this area. Some have taken shelter in the greater miami area. Ma Miamidade County and broward county. We of spoke on the some people or with not leaving. They dont feel comfortable leaving their homes. They feel like they of made the preparations they need to make and theyre hunker do you think for this storm. As weve been reporting, irma is a category 4 right now projected to make landfall in southwest florida sometime tomorrow. It is expected to move up that west coast of florida as lonnie mentioned and take aim at the city of naples, a metro area of more than 300,000. John an this vigliotti is there this morning. Jonathan, good morning to you. Jeff, good morning. And the wind has picked un, the lightning has picked up but its not wind thats the big concern on the west coast. Where we are in Collier County along the coast of naples it is that storm surge and predictions anywhere from 6 feet to 12 feet possibly of water. To give you a sense, about 6 feet, give or take an inch or two, twice my height in water. I want to show you the first line of defense here. These sand dunes, if you can call them a defense, and look at whats on the other side of them, this is a very familiar scene for miles along this coast. Homes like this and take a closer look at this home. Whats missing . What dont you see . Shutters. You dont even see anyfullywood. And this isnt an isolated case. Ive been traveling throughout the afternoon and evening yesterday and you could count on my hand how many shutter is saw on homes. The west coast thought they were going to be spared the brunt of this storm. That changed yesterday. This is a community mainly of snowbirds, people that come down over the winter break and retirees, but theres also a yearround population. I spoke with one gentleman about a block away from where we are right now. Last night, he was actually considering staying here, riding out the storm with his wife, but once he saw that surge estimate he decided it was time to seek higher ground. Let me move you north because there is an island very important here, i think it will be critical in this storm, sanibel island, 40 miles up this coast. There are homes there. I spoke with one man last night lives in one of those homes. He sz his neighbors are coming to his home and theyre going to ride this storm out. I asked him if he was crazy. He said, listen, we know the windows are going to break, well likely get flood bug we are going to stay put. He has an 87yearold neighbor staying with him. Police are saying at this point any area under mandatory evacuation like much of the coast and certainly sanibel, those people that ride out this storm that dont choose to leave, safety, security, and police may not be able to get to them in time in case of an emergency. Jeff . Jonathan, thank you very much. Hard to overstate the threat of that storm surge which everyone that we of talked to talks about. That storm surge is going to affect the entire bottom half circle of florida, southeast florida where we are, southwest florida where it should be more significant as well. Floridians who are trying to evacuate are running into some serious issues here. Roadblock, which is a scarcity of xwgasoline. Many of the states biggest cities in from miami to tallahassee are running on empty with nearly onethird of gas stations in metropolitan areas out of gas. David begnaud is at a service station in Pompano Beach. Good morning to you. Reporter jeff sh good morning. Were along the two evacuation routes headed north to orlando. Were along the florida turnpike. So going through the central portion of the state. This is the Pompano Beach service plaza. There are 32 pumps, not as busy as it was yesterday, but theyre still pulling in this morning and you have to florida Highway Patrol thats directing vehicles in. Thats the turnpike and i dont see a car on it right now. Theres a few coming. Traffic is very light this morning. Heres the food news. I just talked to a florida Highway Patrolman who said both routes norteth to orlando are wide open, i95 and the florida turnpike. If youre on the turnpike, were told there is gas station at every service station from south florida to orlando. With irma steaming ahead, a steady stream of cars rolled in to fill up while they can. Christine tee yaz hack through this before. Andrew, george, i made it, but the island was devastated. Reporter she planned to stay home in key west until a 5 00 advisory showed the category 5 storm headed right her way. That made me say im out of here. Reporter gas stations are becoming a rare commodity. The governor is urging them to act more like public servants. We will raise Police Escorts for your employees so they can get out safely. Reporter the governor is organizing escorts because this was the highway on friday and this was the ft. Lauderdale International Airport friday night. The last flight out of town long gone. How much fuel do you have . Less than quarter tank. Reporter for those stuck on the ground like dana and larry, a small victory, the last drops from this south miami beach texaco. Living right i guess. Reporter even with Police Escorts helping fuel tankers reach gas stations, many were still on the hunt. Im looking at the gas buddy app and it says it had gas. Reporter there may be an app for, that but for joo ti it wasnt enough. You know where to g, im happy to g look. Reporter we talked to several families evacuating from the key wist area, one that was sleeping in their vehicle this morning heading north the orlando. Another update from the Highway Patrol. Were told there is no traffic if youre going from the southern tip of florida north to orlando and there are no lines at gas pumps. Theiss what the Highway Patrol is reporting this morning. I have to tell you, it is really quiet around here. Folks are either gone or at home, closed the door and hunkering down. David, thank you. Its quiet there and it is getting very dark here in miami. You can literally see and you hear the wind pick up a little bit now. You can literally see the bands where its dark and then light and then we see, again, more to the south, phil, those lightning strikes that keep coming in as irma draws ever closer. Irma is drawing comparisons to a category 5 storm that hit florida in 1992, and that is hurricane andrew. That storm cut across the states, causing 61 deaths and 27 billion in damage. One of the hardest hit areas was homestead. 30 miles north of key largo. Elaine quijano is in nearby florida city. Were here in homestead, florida, known as the gateway to the keys. Behind me is overseas highway also known as route 1 and that is the only way in and out of the florida keys. It is basically ke deserted that the point. No signs of any traffic on route 1 right now. Irma is being felt here just the outer bands, not so much with the winds which are not bad right now, but the outer bands are bringing some severe lightning and heavy rains. We just had a major squall pass over and there is more red on the radar headed our way. So the mentality here in homestead right now is that they hope they are safe but they are very nervous, many people telling me that they feel if storm is different than past storms. Jeff . Actually, elaine, we lost jeffs signal there. Elaine quijano in florida city, florida. Lets go back actually now to the bahamas. We mentioned they were slammed overnight by the force of Hurricane Irma. Nick bryant also from our partners at the bbc is in nasa. Nick, good morning. Good morning. A profound sense of relief here in the bahamas, which didnt experience the truktive power of Hurricane Irma that was feared initially, especially in the central and northern parts of this archipelago. Some in the south did experience some structural damage, did experience some flooding but nothing on the scale of what was initially feared. Were getting a sense of the level of destruction elsewhere in the caribbean. Barbuda was the first island where Hurricane Irma made landfall. 95 of the build tlgs have been destroyed. The island is now being evacuated because of the danger posed by hurricane jose, a category 4 storm thats been barreling across the atlantic. The u. S. Virgin islands, four deaths there, have now been confirmed. British virgin islands, a great deal of destruction especially in the capital. Dana, anthony. Back to you. Rotan. Back to you. Nick bryant in nassau, ba ham th bahamas, where they dodged a bullet from irma. Looks like lots of people heeded the evacuation order. Floridans were told to get out at the beginning of the week. Were going to Florida Governor rick scott joining us from state Emergency Operation from tallahassee. Governor, good morning. Good morning. Boy, were trying to get everybody out of these evacuation zones. Thank you for getting the message out. Governor, do you feel how ready do you feel you are at this point . Weve been working to get everybody out. We have i called 7,000 members of the national guard, we have very good first responders, very good Emergency Management teams. I talked to President Trump almost every day. Fema is here. Everyone is ready. But ive got to get people out of these evacuation zones. Have i to get people if youre not on the road on the west coast by noon, this storms coming, so weve got to get people prepared. This is a resilient, strong state. Well work hard, we work well together, but get out of these evacuation zones and get ready. We focus so much on the keys and south florida. We had reports like sanibel island, as far as getting people out right now, what is your biggest concern . Biggest concern is people are are you listening . Do you understand the risk of storm surge . Potential 12 feet of storm surge. This water flows in. Its 12 feet. You cannot survive this. You have to understand, this is different than Something Like andrew. We didnt get the storm surge in andrew. Its a big, big storm. The storm surge really scares me. Whats your sense of whether people are heeding the call . Obviously, weve seen the highways overnight were packed, but do you think do you have a good feeling most people are getting out who need to get out . Im sure some people wont. Our shelters are getting were opening up more and more shelters. Over 250 shelters now. I shut down all the schools in the state so we would have more safe places where we could open up shelters. Were still working to make sure people get fuel if theyre on the road. People are going to she woulders. I want to make sure everybody understands. This is an unbelievable, massive, destructive storm. Its a killer. Look, i love my family. I dont want to lose one member of my family. I wanted everybody to have that same attitude. Love my family, get to safety. Governor rick scott, i think people are heeding the warning. We appreciate you joining us. Thank you. Thank you.
