Now, barbuda is expecting a direct hit from hurricane jose. About 2,000 people live there and the islands only hospital and only airport were both reportedly destroyed by Hurricane Irma. So people are getting off the island by boat. Thank you, alyana gomez in the newsroom. Now to our chief meterologist bill martin who is tracking umbrella from our weather center. Bill, irmas path now has her heading a little bit farther west . Yeah. Its still a bad path. Not the worst, worstcase scenario, but a bad case scenario. I was just shaking my head 5. 5 Million People under mandatory evacuation. San francisco holds about 750,000. Under a Million People. 5. 5 Million People. Um, and one of the things thats a struggle here is this storm is going to hold up as a hurricane as it moves into orlando and a lot of those refugees have gone to orlando because its inland, right . Its away from the coast, is what you want to do. But in this case, the storm is going right up the gut not the center now, more towards the east side but causing problems for the state of florida as a category 4 most likely but slated to return to cat5 before it makes landfall. Heres the hurricane warnings. You knew all that. Heres the path. Thats what were talking about. Theres that slight shift towards the west. But i got to tell you, you to, this is the eye, right . Theres that cat5. The eye of this storm is going to make landfall. And thats what you didnt want. At one point we thought the eye would be here or could have done Something Like this but when the eye goes right up the gut like this, youre basically florida is 70, 80 miles wide. The eye wall is 30, 40 miles wide. So both coasts will be whacked. This is a major event. Nothing really changed with that. Theres a lot of hot water in front of this system so it upgrades to a 5 sunday morning before it makes landfall in the east coast, looks like right now, most of the models are in agreement that the east coast is the focus. This is the spaghetti plot. I like it because it keeps updating and it shows you all the basic most popular hurricane models. It shows you their potential paths. Thats what were watching now. I got to tell you, this storm is a big one. And miami is going to get hard hit. Joel waldman with fox is out there now in miami and i got to tell you, like i say, miami is going to get spanked, joel. Are you experiencing any strong winds there right now . Lets take the package. I ask everyone to be vigilant and heed all recommendations from government officials and Law Enforcement. Reporter with a path of death and destruction in its wake across the caribbean, Hurricane Irma weakened to a category storm 4 friday. But its still a major hurricane that appears bound for florida this weekend. The majority of florida will have major hurricane impacts with deadly storm surge and lifethreatening winds. We expect along the entire east coast and the entire west coast. Reporter now from south florida to the carolinas, people are bracing. Mandatory evacuations are in effect in many parts of the coastal southeast with traffic backups continuing to be an issue. At this point, National Guard troops are already being positioned and plans have been announced for nighttime curfews in some communities. Here in miami, there having long lines at emergency shelters as officials are now forcing Homeless People into shelters. Anybody thats still staying on the streets, they are going to die. Theyre going to die. Reporter final flights have also been departing florida airports leaving many stranded travelers unable to get seats. 10 minutes before boarding time they canceled the flight without any explanation whatsoever. So bill, when you look at this hurricane, um, i have read it is actually wider than all of florida. Yeah. You can almost fit two floridas into this hurricane. Like texas. Size isnt in this case, size isnt everything. Its about strength. And this is a big storm. But its really more about the cat4, the 155mileperhour winds sustained. So its a 4 but could go up to a 5 and if it makes landfall, what kind of winds are we looking on land . The eye is going to go right just kind of up to the left side of florida, the peninsula. The eye is where its at. Thats where the strongest winds are. Thats where the 155mileper hour winds are. So you could get a wind gust to that. The storm is definitely its taken a better course going to the east a little bit but i got to tell you, its still a bad scenario that this thing is going straight into the south florida. At this point more of the east but its going to rake across. The thing that worries me the most when you think about this 5. 5 Million People evacuated, mandatory, they go to orlando are. They go into the center of the state. The center of the state is going to have a cat1 and cat2 hurricane. Which is still very serious. Yeah and you see how these people who are displaced in winnebagos and camping out and you get hit with a cat2 storm. Thats sort of the back side of all this. But this is a big, big storm. When andrew hit, was that a category 4 . You know, i think it was a category i cant remember. I think it was. I was here when it happened are. That went across the southern tip of florida. It went from east to west and it moved quickly. This thing, again, its going to move quick. But its going to cover the whole state of florida and potentially twothirds. State is going to be covered as a hurricane. Its massive when you look at it there. We have joel waldman now in miami tonight. Joel, whats it like right now there . Reporter frank and julie, good evening to you. We just got dumped on out of nowhere heavy downpours so these very, very, very outer bands of Hurricane Irma or some of the moisture associated with it now starting to be felt here in the south florida area. Ironically, the wind had whipped up and now this rain just dumped down. Things have quieted down. But essentially, the real issues that we are facing as Hurricane Irma tips to approach are twofold. One, the wind. You see downtown miami behind me with those whipping winds especially on the high floors, it could be a problem. Theres a bunch of construction cranes there. Those cranes, from what we understand, are only able to sustain 145mileperhour winds. So what they are telling us, government officials, is that theyre unlatching the cranes to in effect let them spin around lie weathervanes. The other major issue is storm surge. Biscayne bay is behind us. We are about 20 feet above it right now. Storm surge predictions are actually ticking upward this morning about 10 feet expected. Then they are saying 12 to 20 feet of storm surge. If it was 20 feet the area that im standing on now would be flooded. Keep in mind a lot of areas are barely above the water line. Those areas could flood badly and water is what kills. So anyone who still is able to should try to evacuate but irma certainly is making its way here sooner than later. All right. Joel waldman in miami, thank you. So hurricane andrew was a category 5 in 1992, the most destructive to ever hit florida. So with this thing, youre saying its not moving that fast . Just went andrew went across the southern tip of florida and so that was a very 70 miles it had to cover. This thing is going to move from south florida to northern florida. Thats a heck of a lot more than 30 or 40 miles. And the other thing is when you think about florida how its shaped, its a peninsula, you have the atlantic side and then the gulf side. At one point when this thing was tracking to the east, you were going to have storm surge only on the east coast. Storm surges is what does the damage. Thats what joel just said and its true. Now where this system is going, its going to have storm surge on both sides so youre both both areas, both east and west coasts of florida are going to have 10 to 12foot storm surge. They are going to get over a foot of rain some places two feet of rain. And the i think i think when all is said and done, wind might be the biggest story with this thing because the eye, the focus of the strongest winds, is going right up the gut. Isnt there another hurricane, jose behind this . How far behind . It may turn north sooner but its still battering the islands that have already been battered. There is a third hurricane, too, katia. Well talk about that in the gulf later. Thanks, bill. In washington today, President Trump signed a bill providing more than a 15 billion emergency funding for the victims of Hurricane Harvey.

The university of california is going to court to challenge the Trump Administrations decision to end the daca program. Henry lee tells us the lawsuit was filed today. Reporter lawyers suits the u. S. Government in federal court. The lawsuit accuses the Trump Administration of violating the Constitutional Rights of Daca Recipients by abruptly ending the program known as deferred action for childhood arrivals. In part, the lawsuit says, as a result of the defendants action, Daca Recipients face the loss of their livelihood, education and country. The university and all of its students will lose the contributions of valued colleagues and employees. There are about 4,000 undocumented students at uk campuses statewide and about 500 at uc becker. Many of those are Daca Recipients. It changed my life. I could do all the things i couldnt before. Reporter this student was a daca recipient until he got his green card in may. I support t hopefully they can do something for the people still in the shadows. Reporter Janet Napolitano says trumps action is an executive fiat that hurts hard working students.

We hope by this lawsuit to restore those dreams and to restore daca to its rightful place. Reporter uc has teachers, researchers and healthcare hours who are Daca Recipients. This person is head of the undocumented students practical at ucberkeley. He is an immigrant who helps dreamers on campus. I think it was a moral disgrace and a cut to the soul of our students. The lawsuit from Janet Napolitano sends a sign to students and state and nation that we are going to stand and fight with them with or without daca. Reporter uc says its the First University to challenge trump in court over daca. And they hope other campuses will follow suit. At ucberkeley, henry lee, ktvu fox 2 news. The California Attorney general is also planning to file a lawsuit against the federal government over daca. I think its important with california having morning Daca Recipients more dreamers than any state in the nation by far that we get out there and protect them here in california. 15 other states and the district of columbia filed a similar lawsuit this week saying the president s decision to end the protection from the program from deportation is unconstitutional.
