The leadership agreed to pass aid for harvey and continuing resolution to december 15th. I think they changed it back to the 8th and asked if that was okay. All together, both sides have every intention of affording default in december and look forward to working together on many issues before us. All the appropriations bills, we have state Childrens Health insurance program, Community Health centers, we have extenders, we have many items on the agenda. But, for us, as Democratic Leaders made it clear, in the strongest possible way, we believe the dream act must come to the floor and act as soon as possible. We will not rest until that is done. Thats how that went. Any questions . Yes, sir. Did you get the impression, during this discussion at the white house, that the president seemed more inclined to negotiate with you and leader schumer than paul ryan and Mitch Mcconnell . No. I think the president , when we went into the meeting, there were two of us and five of them, the president , the Vice President , and three. The republican leader, the speaker, the majority leader and secretary of treasury in terms of those conversations. So, no, i think they all came in, the Vice President said, you know, you put out your number before we had this meeting. We put up our number after you put out your number because they put out the number earlier. I think, frankly, as i said and maybe make it clear, when it was clear that we couldnt go for a longer cr from their standpoint because the d. O. D. Needs the resources in a fair way. A cr, they dont like the cr. They would rather you pass the bills now and hopefully will do it soon, but we have issues. We want parody. If you lift the caps on d. O. D. , we are going to lift on disgregs nar investments as well. So, there was it was kind of, became persuasive when mitch, the majority leader in the senate said, im going to put the cr. That was really just what actually strengthened our hands. Were you surprised the president came around so quickly . It wasnt quick. We went in there, put it ton table, boom, out the door. It wasnt like that at all. It was a very long, intense conversation. Now, im an appropriator so i have had a little bit of an advantage in my view on left to our own devices, the pr appropriators, democrats and republicans Work Together to have a compromise. Its when it comes on high that theres a problem or legislating on the appropriations bill. We had those kind of, shall we say, clarifications. It was a long meeting. I was very proud of the Senate Minority or democratic leader, Chuck Schumer. The president all right. You are listening to the democratic leader in the house, nancy pelosi, speaking about the deal that was struck between the president and Democratic Leaders yesterday in the white house, in the oval office. Republican leaders said to be blindsided, shocked, maybe not so happy about the outcome. Nancy pelosi seems none too pleased, seems very pleased about the outcome. We are going to have more reaction coming up. We are following this, very seriously. Big, huge, nuclear, something out of this world. That is how folks are describing Hurricane Irma today. One of the most powerful atlantic storms ever recorded. It tore across the caribbean and now continuing toward florida. Millions of americans are in the path and they will take no comfort in the first images emerging from what irma left behind. This is barbuda, virtually wiped off the map. Winds topping out at 185 Miles Per Hour. Something out of a horror movie, one person there described it. Like a desert island, said another. Here is the Prime Minister. It was heart wrenching, absolutely devastating. I have never seen any destruction government officials saying more than 90 of structures on the island are damaged or destroyed. And, as this this is what a category 5 storm looks like. It is scary. All of its awful mite as it tore into the British Virgin islands, now headed to the u. S. Mainland. Mandatory evacuations are under way. More in minutes from now. At least ten are dead in the caribbean. Underestimating this historic storm could be a deadly mistake. This is a serious, serious storm. I called it a nuclear hurricane. I cant stress it enough. Get off miami beach, whether you are a visitor or whether you are a resident. Find shelter, we have shelters. This is a serious situation. Do not play around in this. The mayor of miami beach. We have breaking news on the storm from the National Hurricane center on irmas track. Lets go to meteorologist chad myers for more on that. Chad, what is the latest . Where is she headed . South florida, just issued at the 11 00 advisory from jupiter to the bottom, to the keys and back up the other side, cape coral. You get the idea, the whole southern quarter of florida under a hurricane watch will eventually get upgraded to hurricane warning as the storm gets closer. Its 175 Miles Per Hour. Last update was 180. You can tell the difference, thats great. Its still a very deadly hurricane category 5. We are way above that, 20mileanhour above that. Also, including lake okeechobee, too. The wind will be strong there in the coming days as we roll this up into florida and possibly into the carolinas. There was a slight wobble to the right in the past hour or so. Well see if that goes back to the left or not or if that is a meaningful trend. We hope so, not for the bahamas but hope it gets through and misses everything. That is not the forecast right now. Category 5 running between cuba and grand bahama island. This couldnt be a worse place for it to hit florida. It will pick a huge storm surge to biscayne bay to florida and up to jupiter inland with huge surges. Slightly offshore and slamming into the u. S. North of jacksonville. Thats the middle of the cone. The western part, almost out of tampa. Certainly in the atlantic ocean. The cone getting smaller because the storm is getting closer. Thats how it works out here. There is the cone. Here are the models we have been talking about. The United Kingdom model to the west. The uk model, compared to the euro, it looks like the United States, the National Hurricane center believing the yeuro more than the american model in the atlantic ocean. There are other things they are looking at. They divide the models and come up with the storm. Here is what the european model looks like. North of key largo through ocean reef up to homestead, cutler and as far north as you can imagine, tearing things up at 150 Miles Per Hour. Now, the american model, much better. I know its only 40 miles, but if you push it offshore, you dont get 150 on shore, you get 130. What is the difference . There is. There is a difference in damage at 150 and damage at 130. There is going to be damage whether its left, right, middle of center. Eventually, up to the carolinas and expecting land fall there as possibly a major hurricane. Not over, someone is going to get hit. Theres going to be damage. You have to keep watching it and make the right decisions. Chad, at this point, with what you are looking at in this new track, is there any chance the storm could veer off and back to the atlantic, sparing direct hit on florida . Sparing a direct hit at florida, yes. Sparing a direct hit at the u. S. , no. Because when it gets farther to the north, ill try to give a route here one more time. When the storm finally, if it does miss florida, if it misses south florida, the models are absolutely all of them will turn it back to the left. So, you are going to get it here if you dont get it here. So, depends on are you living here or here . It makes a huge difference. A catastrophic loss. Tens of billions of dollars loss, maybe more if it hits with a vengeance. If you run over miami with such elevation, like ten or 12 feet, with a 20 foot storm surge, you knock everything down within two miles of the coast. If you miss the coast, you are 160 Miles Per Hour because you are in the water. You are not other land. You are not decaying the storm. It comes up here. Theres not a model that doesnt turn it left. We know it doesnt go left. It could stay along the coast the entire way like matthew and turn left eventually around savannah, but it wouldnt be as stronlg because it is interacting with the land longer. In the water, it stays stronger longer. No good and coming our way. Thats the basic news right now. Chad, great to see you. Still a category 5. Thats coming in. Floridas densely populated areas, emergency workers bracing for what could be the massive evacuations in u. S. History. More than 4 Million People live in just two counties that are being evacuated. Miamidade, broward. Gridlock is not the only concern. Monroe county, home of the florida keys, the mandatory Evacuation Order is running into another problem, a fuel shortage. We are experiencing difficulty with fuel. A lot of gas stations are shut down. We are worried about what is going to happen. I have been in contact with the Governors Office to get fuel down here to make sure the evacuation is smooth. Rosa florez is live on the beach with some people. Reporter there is a huge concern from what we heard from the governor, they are lifting weight limits and that sort of thing to make sure the flow of fuel into the state is slow, but steady. Im here on the beach with ashley and her daughter, angie. I know shes not the only one on the beach. You can see a few more people behind us. You know, a lot of people not from florida, they look at people on the beach at this hour and think, what are people thinking. Explain it to us, ashley. It is chaotic with the lines and gasoline and waiting for water. You kind of need a break. Yes, we have in the back of our minds a huge storm is coming and we are prepared mentally and emotionally as best we can. The hustle and bustle on the streets waiting in line for water and gas, we needed a break. They gave us a day off work. We are taking in the sun the best we can and preparing for what happens afterwards. Reporter this is the last dip. You plan to evacuate. What is your plan . We are going to leave just, as i mentioned, on a regular day here, the rain can get heavy. We have seen flooding and know how long water can stand. Just the inconvenience it becomes. So, prior storms, we are definitely going to leave. We are probably going to head north, just to be safe. I mean, i went through andrew as a child and my parents and i hear stories and i have seen videos of destruction and everything that it entails. I dont want her to be around for that. Reporter you were 4 years old when you went through andrew. Yes. I dont remember the preparation my parents went through, but i remember it being a loud storm. I remember some of the destruction. Cars were damaged. I mean, i know if it happens, its coming, its coming, its going to happen. I try to be far away from that and deal with it afterward, the best we can. Reporter thank you for sharing your story. Angie, you are going to have fun when you dip in the water now . Yeah. Reporter have fun. Stay safe. We appreciate ift. As you heard, some folks on the beach. You can see them on the beach behind me. We have talked to a lot of folks here. Some plan to evacuate. As we are heard in prior storms, some plan to ride it out. I asked multiple people. They said, you know, some think its stupidity, but they are planning to stay here and ride the storm at home. Ashley has the right perspective right now. Get in a few more rays of sunshine, but heading out of town soon. Thanks for bringing that to us. Appreciate it. To central florida, Brynn Gingras is joining us where sandbags are being handed out. Even in orlando . Reporter yeah, even in orlando, kate. Theres no Evacuation Orders in orange county, but flooding is a concern. This is actually the first full day of sandbagging operations. They did a half day yesterday. You can see, its a well oiled machine here. We have a car that pulls up and an Assembly Line of workers that toss them into the trunk of the cars. They are able to drive away. Ten sandbags per household unit. You have to show an id to get through the line. Some are worried its not enough sandbags for their homes. Certainly, this county is doing their best to have at least some sort of protection for possible flooding from irma. You have to see the line. This line, again, this is the first full day. This operation here and a half dozen or so around the rest of the county. This has been a full line for the entire morning. They have given out over 21,000 sandbags just from 7 00 to 11 00 today. Yesterday, in total, they gave 28,000 sandbags. If you cant judge by the line, you can judge by the numbers about the need that is here. I was talking to a number of people through the line. Their major concern is, of course, flooding. If you know this area, this is home to disney, orlando with a lot of swamps and reservoirs. They are worried this is going to surpass levels and cause flooding inside homes. Talking to other people in this county, another issue is evacuation. All those people rosa was talking about in miami, if they want to evacuate, this county is prepared to take them in. 100,000 hotel rooms in this county alone. They are welcoming anyone who wants to come to this area and they are keeping an eye on the levels making sure theres enough as the warning continues. Absolutely. Great to see you. Thank you so much. Watching the lines, even in orlando. The damage irma has already done, is doing and threatens to do in the caribbean, catastrophic. Pictures say anything. The Prime Minister calls the island barely habitable. In moments ago, the island came under another watch for another hurricane, hurricane jose. The french government is calling the damage a tragedy. 6 of 10 deaths have been on st. Martin. A woman says it was a night of hell for her and her family when irma came through. We survived. We survived the hurricane. It was hell last night. It was hell. I dont wish this for any of my enemies. The hurricane is marching on as we speak. This is a look at the Dominican Republic a few moments ago. Paula newton is live in haiti watching that side of things. What is the situation now, paula . Reporter well, the storm is certainly going to hit us in a few hours. We have heard ominous rumbles of thunder. Preparations are not what you have been listening to in florida. They have had the time, but only got started in the last 24 hours. Not a sign people are taking it as seriously as they should. This is one of the poorest countries in the world. The u. N. And others are at the ready to go back to what happened at Hurricane Matthew last year. You had hundreds of people who were killed and hundreds of thousands of people who needed shelter and food immediately after the hurricane. The good news is, we wont be taking a direct impact. The bad news is, if it sideswipes us here in haiti, this is a huge problem. Even that kind of storm, being sideswiped causes catastrophic damage. Kate . The next few hours, you are in the middle of it. Pleads be safe. Well get back to you. Essentially, right now, an exodus under way for florida. Mass evacuations and more to begin, about to set in in other parts of the state. Traffic is backed up. Fuel shortages. The mayor of hollywood florida is going to join us live, next.
