Gayle king is off so Jericka Duncan and dana jacobsson are with us. As you wake up in the west dorian is bashing the carolina coast after restrengthening into a category 3 hurricane. Its outer bands are dumping heavy rain as far north as North Carolina and virginia. Hurricane warnings are up along the coast and more than 1 Million People in the carolinas have been told to evacuate. This storm is causing all sorts of problems including at least a dozen tornadoes that touched down this morning in north and South Carolina. Forecasters now predict dorian will make landfall somewhere in North Carolina during the next 24 hours. Tony dokoupil is in charleston where Flash Flood Warnings are in effect and catastrophic flooding is expected. Tony, what are the conditions right now . Reporter well, good morning. The rain is coming inside ways here in charleston and just a few moments ago the wind really picked up. Behind me is the churning river and beyond that the Barrier Islands of South Carolina, a shield from what is now an angry Atlantic Ocean. We actually made it out to those islands yesterday and we found out that more than 50 of the people there plan to hunker down which means right now they are riding out the storm even though dorian is knocking on their front door and First Responders are unlikely at this moment to be able to respond quickly. Back here in charleston the historic life threatening flooding is expected through the next 48 hours. In some parts of the carolinas a storm surge could reach eight feet. Evacuation orders are out covering about 830,000 people all along the South Carolina coast and more than 1500 are in about 28 shelters statewide this morning. What youre seeing right now is video we shot yesterday about ten miles south of us showing intense winds whipping away the protective sand dunes on folly island. Thats wheresome. Lets bring in jamie yuccas at charlestons historic sea side landmark the battery. Its getting windy where i am and tough where you are. What are the conditions youre seeing so far this morning . Reporter you talked about a violent atlantic. This is what it is. This is what it looks like right now. Here are the waves. Usually there are container ships parked here. Were half way between the battery now and the water front park. So you usually see those giant container ships parked in here with supplies and goods but obviously they had to leave because of the storm. Weve seen lots and lots of rain. We could get up to a foot of rain throughout the day today. I can tell you from driving around this area that means flash flooding and it could also mean some historic flooding in charleston if the storm surge comes in at the same time as high tide. This is what were talking about as those waters make their way up to the streets here in charleston. You can see this storm surge right now making its way as it just kind of rolls in and then goes on to city streets. I know 200,000 people right now are without power. I can tell you that the winds have been very, very gusty. Weve been told weve gotten gusts as high as 75 Miles Per Hour. And a little further offshore there was a record of about 90 Miles Per Hour recorded just a short time ago. But those are the conditions that we have happening here. Every once in a while you get these big gusts. I can tell you, they almost knock you off your feet. Im not a small person. Im and they really whip us around, all of us, as a crew. I can tell you the conditions have deteriorated. Were supposed to continue to see that strong rainfall throughout the day today and there was a report of somebody actually kayaking down historic king street this morning, so thats the type of flood waters were already seeing as more rain is falling, tony. All right. Thank you very much. A dangerous surge there in the low lying areas. Local authorities now say that they actually well move on to video now from an area near wilmington, North Carolina. Damaged by a tornado this morning. Dorian could make landfall in North Carolina and it is important to point out within 24 hours. Thats where wein our Jonathan Vigliotti in Carolina Beach. Jonathan, whats the latest where you are . Reporter yeah, tony, we can confirm three tornadoes have touched down in this area, one of them about 40 miles away in the farming community. Thats where the video came from. The Brunswick County Sheriffs Department providing it. You can see how the quick moving twister caused a lot of the destruction but were being told there were no injuries. Were here on Carolina Beach. Weve been here all morning long watching as quickly this weather deteriorates. The wind picking up along with the rain. Were expecting at the height of this storm and its more than 20 hours away from where we are to reach about 100 Miles Per Hour, the storm surge another big issue here, 4 to 7 feet. Thats taller than me. Taller than some of the sand dunes. The community on the other side of this worried about flooding. It is why there is a mandatory evacuation in place. The rainfall another big issue here. Inland flooding is going to be a big deal, about 10 inches. Authorities here saying anybody that has chosen to ride out this storm needs to seek Higher Ground and stay off the roads as dorian approaches. Tony . Reporter jonathan, thank you. Moving out to the atlantic a massive rescue and relief effort is under way right now in the bahamas where there is widespread devastation. At least 20 people were killed there and our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud traveled to the hard hit abaco islands to get a firsthand look at the destruction. He joins us now from the bahamian capital of nassau. David, what did you see . Reporter well, tony, what we saw was people sitting on the tarmac in treasure key waiting to be rescued. Were in nassau which is the capital of the bahamas and there are more planes on the tarmac this morning than yesterday. Every one of these aircraft is being used to either deliver aid or to pick up people. We were able to get five seats on a medical charter that was looking to find people. They dropped us off on what was an abandoned runway and when we landed there were close to three dozen people waving for help. Never, ever seen anything like this. This was just so far beyond anyones imagination. Reporter shock and horror. Everything you have, everything is gone. Everything. Reporter while waiting to evacuate the island of treasure cay locals told us their stories of surviving Hurricane Dorian. The wind sounded like a huge tornado coming. The roof went off. We had to run to another house. Reporter the red cross says nearly half of the homes on the abaco islands and grand bahama are damaged or destroyed. Are you trying to get out of here . I am. Reporter nancy was one of the dozens of people who showed up at the airport asking the various pilots who kept landing here if she could get a seat off the island. Her home was in a nearby Community Called manowar. This is what it looks like now. She rode out the storm in her home. The house had broken up around us. When you crack the door open and there was nothing left. Reporter we found senthia gedeon sitting with her three children on the roof of a building blown off during a storm. What are you going to do tonight . I dont know. Go to nassau . I dont know. Reporter she didnt get out last night. The family was going to sleep on a slab of cement inside of the heavily damaged abandoned home near the airport. Someone had given her and the kids bread and water bottles. The airport is also serving as a Meeting Place for relatives and coworkers. When you see whats left of your home what do you think . We got to get out of here. We cant live here. We got to go to somewhere safe like in the states or somewhere where there is no hurricanes and no tornadoes. Reporter just about everyone evacuated from a disaster zone is air lyfted to the capital of nassau, which was not damaged by dorian. All of the survivors sent here are triage and either sent to a hospital or somewhere to find a place to sleep. It was a harrowing expeer yejexpeer experience, difficult to put into words. Just unparalleled. Reporter those people are also hungry. Of course they have no Cell Phone Service or television. I just heard from chef jose andreas who says he and his team will flying to treasure cay today with food they are going to deliver. Listen, tony, before i toss it back to you big thanks to the folks at medic corps many from northern arkansas. They brought their plane here and literally have just volunteered to go and land on runways that really werent even cleared for landing and land to see who needed help and get them out. So many samaritans doing incredible work here including the u. S. Coast guard which has really led the effort to rescue folks. Reporter and including you, david. Thank you very much. This morning we are also getting an exclusive look with the u. S. Coast guard at the damage in the bahamas as seen from above. Cbs evening news anchor Norah Odonnell took off from the Coast Guard Air station in florida yesterday and she saw the devastation from a coast guard plane. Definitely this will be something well be working with for a while. Reporter coast guard luntz flew us over the battered islands of the bahamas. We requested to fly along with them to see what is this unfolding, humanitarian crisis. Standing in the back of an hc144 cargo plane the destruction was clear. Almost indiscriminate. One house looks okay and the next completely devastated. Reporter grand bahama island also took a beating. Threequarters of the homes on this island wiped out, under water. The airport, we cant land. But we did land briefly in nassau. It is incredibly busy here at this airport in nassau. Youve got the navy, the u. S. Coast guard. Robert and phyillis cornea are seeking refuge in nassau and say the storm destroyed their home in abaco the island they lived on for more than 50 years. All the buildings, main buildings gone. Everything is gone. This is all i have left. What you see me in. Reporter thats all you have left. Ive been in this four days. Reporter restoration abaco cofounders heather hunt and sandra cooke described the devastation. The looting has begun and these people are armed, going after homes still intact. They of course have generators maybe, food. You know, its bad. Reporter for cbs this morning im Norah Odonnell. Well have more in our next half hour including a look at the search for missing people in the bahamas. But right now we continue our coverage of dorian with Jericka Duncan in new york. Tony, thank you. Great job to you and the crew out there. Meteorologist megan glaros of our chicago station wbbmtv is here. Megan, good morning. Good morning to you, jericka. We still have a major hurricane on our hands at this hour. The center of circulation pretty obvious. Charleston. What i see though in the northeast quadrant, which is essentially that top right one, is the greatest potential for tornadoes. Weve already had reports of tornadoes. There could be more activity. That entire swath of yellow a tornado watch. Weve got warnings in that as well. And that will likely continue through today and potentially into tomorrow. Again, category 3 right now winds to 115 Miles Per Hour. Movement is north and northeast now which means it is going to start to make the curve away from the u. S. If we get a full northeast movement, that is good news for folks along the south and North Carolina coast lines. At this point it is pretty much North Carolina still in the cone of error for the potential for there to be some sort of landfall from this storm. Possibly as a category 2 here and likely within the next 12 to 24 hours. And then it accelerates out and away and by saturday the storm is no more. At that point well just be talking about what happened, but right now still ongoing. Obviously. Anthony . Thanks. President trump is at the center of a hurricane controversy this morning as he stands by his inaccurate claim about the states threatened by dorian. At a briefing yesterday the president displayed a forecast map that raised eyebrows and appeared to be altered with a black line showing dorian possibly striking alabama in one of the early models. Here is the actual map from that day put out by the National Hurricane center. It does not show a threat to alabama. Ben tracy is at the white house. Ben, what is this all about . Reporter well, for the last couple days the president has been playing the role of meteorologistinchief tweeting out updates about the hurricane, his thoughts about where it may hit, often at odds with his own government forecasters. Now, on sunday mr. Trump tweeted this, talking about alabama, saying that in addition to florida, other states, including alabama, will most likely be hit. A few minutes later the National Weather service in alabama tweeted, alabama will not see any impacts from dorian. But the president kept insisting he was right. He then displayed this map in the oval office yesterday, which looks as if someone used a marker to include alabama in some sort of effort to prove the president was correct. When asked about it, the president said this. I know that alabama was in the original forecast. They thought it would get a piece of it. That map you showed us today looked like it almost had like a sharpy written on it. I dont know. I dont know. I dont know. Reporter knowingly misrepresenting a government Weather Forecast is actually a crime punishable by up to 90 days in jail. The president is not letting this go. He has been tweeting about this this morning defending himself, saying that what he said about alabama was accurate. Dana . All right. Thank you. Mandatory evacuations are in effect in part of Southern California as wild fires burn dangerously close to homes. The fire is burning a little over an hour south of los angeles. People living in the la Cresta Community were told to leave their homes. It is believed lightning may have sparked the flames. When thunderstorms moved through the area yesterday. Firefighters say the fire has grown to roughly 1400 acres. In the past hour officials said the fire was 7 contained. The woman who wrote a powerful impact statement about her Sexual Assault by a Stanford College student is telling her story exclusively to 60 minutes.
