Gayle king is off so cbs this Morning National correspondent Jericka Duncan is here with us. As you wake up in the west Hurricane Dorian is taking its last shot at the u. S. It made landfall at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina a short time ago. Its first landfall since causing at least 30 deaths in the bahamas. You can see violent winds ripping into the American Flag on North Carolinas Frying Pan Shoals over night. Dorian was down graded to a category 1 overnight but is still making trouble on its way out to sea, causing life threatening flash floods and up to six feet of storm surge. Omar villafranca is in kitty hawk, North Carolina on the northern part of the outer banks. Omar, where you are what are the conditions . Reporter good morning. We are here in dare county in the outer banks. As you can see, dorian is here. It made landfall about an hour away from us at Cape Hatteras. We are feeling the effects where were standing. We woke up under a tornado watch but now the concern is whats happening offshore. Let me point you to the ocean right now. Because it is alive and well. We are starting to see some serious waves pop up here. Before they were kind of staying a little further back but now they are absolutely coming up. The rain bands are also getting thicker. They are expecting about a foot of water. But the storm surge here could be 2 to 4 feet, further down looking at 4 to 7 feet. Youd see these homes behind me right now. They are very close to the water so any amount of water going over that could be a problem for that area. There is a mandatory evacuation in place here in dare county. Theres also a curfew. But authorities are saying you cannot leave at this point. If youre here you have to stay. You have to hunker down. What everybody is keeping an eye on, right now, is this. The water keeps on getting closer. They are hoping the beach can contain it. Were not exactly sure how long that is going to last. People have boarded up their windows. They have sand bagged their doors. They got rid of all the beach equipment so it doesnt become a flying projectile but at this point as the water comes up, were just waiting for dorians wrath to finally hit this area of the outer banks. Well watch the conditions and see how they develop throughout the day. Omar, thank you. Dorians eyewall passed over beaufort, North Carolina earlier this morning. Jonathan vigliotti is there. What are you seeing on the coast . Reporter good morning. Wind is still the main event here at the height of the storm where we rode it out here on radio island we had gusts up to 90 Miles Per Hour. Right now were getting gusts around 50 to 60 Miles Per Hour and that is still fast enough to pick up some of the debris like this. This cooler is easily over 200 pounds. Throwing it like a toy. The wind also whipping up tornadoes. Yesterday 13 touched down around the area. One of them in emerald isle where we were yesterday. It tore through a Mobile Home Park there destroying dozens. We spoke with one person who actually rode it out with his wife inside his bathroom. They were there preparing their home for the hurricane. Right now the wind is actually causing enough damage to trees and power lines were told about 200,000 customers are still without power. The tornado warnings, those have been lifted but flash flooding is still a major concern. Weve gotten about 12 inches of rain. We expect to get a few more inches and officials are saying that is enough to swallow cars who are caught in any of those floods on the road. A curfew is currently still in effect. That means the roads are only open to emergency vehicles. Officials telling drivers to stay off the road. Jonathan, thank you very much. Dorian gave coastal South Carolina a beating yesterday and this morning charleston is starting to survey the damage there. Dorians eye passed within 55 miles bringing heavy rain and wind gusts of up to more than 70 miles an hour. Jamie yuccas is in charleston. What are you seeing out there right now . Reporter were in Historic Downtown charleston. What im seeing is that these streets, yesterday during flash flooding, were covered with water. Now you just see the remnants of it today. Thats the good news. The bad news is all of the debris in this area. You see trees like this, there are limbs all throughout the area on roadways so people are having to clean that up. The other problem is a number of street signs and utility poles are either bent or in the roadway so workers are going to be working to get those back up before cleanup is completed. I can tell you that there was so much rain yesterday. It came down very, very hard. In video you can see a lot of the flooding that ended up occurring in parking lots, on streets. It inundated 7 inches of rain. Cities are using pumps to try to get the water out. A lot of people had sand bags around their homes trying to keep the water out. They did a pretty good job. It wasnt as bad as people thought it was going to be. Winds also a big problem. We saw gusts in the area up to 70 Miles Per Hour. That is why you have the trees, utility poles, and power lines come down. Just to the north of here a number of tornadoes happened in little river and myrtle beach knocking homes. The governor, though, has lifted mandatory evacuations in three counties. The only problem will be if they come back they are going to have to deal with debris. A lot of people here also still without power. About 140,000. Tony . All right. Jamie, the cleanup begins. To meteorologist megan glaros of our chicago station wbbmtv has been tracking dorians path all week. This is actually about as close as it comes. We barely had a landfall. It happened at 8 35 eastern time right along Cape Hatteras. You can see the storm now accelerating away at this point we know the movement is going to be on off to the north and east wih this storm. Away from land now. Category 1 still as of the latest advisory. Winds to 90 miles an hour. The movement is northeast about 14 Miles Per Hour. Pretty quickly, its pretty far out into the atlantic. Its picking up forward speed. The concern at this point will remain the flash flooding concern. Winds starting to taper down as the center moves away from the storm. Were still going to be looking at the potential for flash flooding continuing around the carolina coast line. Now while it is a little cooler in the northeast, the storm has opened the door to some intense heat across the south. Look at this. 101 in tallahassee. Weve got 100 in jackson. About 101 in tyler, texas. So very hot in the south while in the east we breathe a sigh of relief as the storm leaves. Tony . That is hot but at least hurricane free. Thank you very much. In our next half hour well look at efforts to help tens of thousands of hurricane victims in the northern bahamas. Chef jose andres wants to serve thousands of meals a day but it is tough with so much damage. That is ahead on cbs this morning. Firefighters in Northern California are battling a massive wildfire. The Red Bank Fire exploded to 6,000 acres overnight. In Southern California flames from a fire are burning dangerously close to homes. Carter evans is some 60 miles southeast of los angeles. Carter, whats the biggest concern there right now . Reporter theyre keeping an eye on the hot spots because the wind could pick up later today. You can get an idea how close the homes were to fire danger by looking at the red fire retard all over the street and these homes as well, the landscaping. So far this fire has burned about 2,000 acres and is only 10 contained. Crews raced to beat back flames that reached the fence of this Southern California home, one of hundreds threatened when heavy winds kicked up the tanaja fire thursday afternoon. All of a sudden it started taking off. Reporter some 800 firefighters facing 90degree temperatures attacked the fire with bulldozers on the ground and water dropping helicopters from above. We did have a full strike team of resources deployed. We had firefighters on the back yards with hoses and they were protecting those structures. Reporter some people also hosed down their own homes in an effort to keep them safe. Crews cleared out material that might quickly catch fire, tossing pillows and cushions into the pool. Police officers and firefighters patroled neighborhoods, warning families it was time to go. They dont know which way its going to go so they just recommend we get out of here as quick as possible. Reporter two homes were damaged. Firefighters worked quickly to extinguish the flames on this house before they spread. Officials say its still a dangerous situation. This is a rapidly evolving incident. So we are asking people to stay out of the area. Reporter the hill sides around these homes havent burned in more than 20 years but firefighters are making significant progress. Its not clear when theyll allow people back in their homes. Schools in this area are still closed today because of poor air quality. Former zimbabwe leader Robert Mugabe is being remembered as a onetime liberatore who ruled over his countrys decline. His death was announced on twitter overnight by the current president. Mugabe took power in 1980 after a long war ended white minority rule in his country.

Charlie, why is the taliban launching these attacks now . Reporter well, good morning, anthony. Theyre launching these attacks now because these peace negotiations are under way. While they may be talking peace in doha, here in afghanistan theyre still waging war in the most brutal way. This is a video from yesterdays attack. Not far from the u. S. Embassy, killing that u. S. Service member. You mentioned and another nato soldier as well as at least ten civilians near the u. S. Embassy. 16 u. S. Service members have been killed in afghanistan this year. Now, as for that peace deal under way, the government here has been completely shut out of talks between the u. S. And the taliban. To underscore that, the president was shown a copy of the draft but he wasnt allowed to keep it. In a statement after the recent attacks, he said peace with a group that is still killing innocent people is meaningless. Tony . Charlie dagata in afghanistan for us, thank you.

In a new 38page arrest warrant, police say they found jennifers dna on the seats of a work truck dulos had been driving. According to the warrant, police asked troconis why dulos would wash the truck after jennifer disappeared. She told them, well, obviously all the evidence says because you showed me the picture of the blood in the door. Its because the body of jennifer at some point was in there. Cbs news analyst rikki kleman. Both of them should be worried because at some point there is always that possibility that the police could decide they want to go all the way even without a body and bring a murder charge. Reporter in june we sat down with duloss Attorney Norm Pattis who told us the case against his client was built on speculation and hysteria. Jennifer is an extremely sympathetic person right now. The nation has rallied behind her because she is a missing mom of five beautiful children. That doesnt mean my client is the villain.
