CNNW CNN Newsroom With Ana Cabrera August 31, 2019

Show us where and what people there are about to go through. Its going to hit the bahamas over and over and over. And im glad you pointed that out. Because i made a special map to point out what we are specking from the storm now. What the european model and the american model are pretty much agreeing upon. The storm right now is 150mileperhour. We did have a wind gust to 166 from the Hurricane Hunter aircraft about an hour ago. The plane has now left to come back home and another plane son the way. But we wont get anymore pressures or updates by the 5 00 hour. Here is whats going on. The storm is breathing well. The eye is going about 15 miles coo from one side to the other. We are expecting the turn around the bahamas and turning right. It appears that this is going to be a smooth turn. But its not. This is saturday at 3 00. This is right now. There is nassau. There is free port. There is the storm at 10 00 p. M. Sunday morning. There is the storm mat 10 00 p. M. Sunday night. Did you see it move . Here is the storm 10 00 a. M. Sunday morning, oh, my gosh, this thing has been in the bahamas now for 24 hours at 140mileperhour. But wait. There is more. Here you go. Sunday, 11, 10 00 p. M. P. M. Another 12 hours in the same spot and then finally begins to move by tuesday. So this is not turning. Its stopping and then making almost an 90 degree lefthand turn. If you believe that but it wouldnt have to go much farther west to have that over florida. Thats why youve prepared in florida. Dont let the guard down. You have to keep watching. Lets hope it never gets to the bahamas and does that stop somewhere 60 miles east of the bahamas. Its possible but thats not the forecast right now. We will have more models by the time is gets closer. All we already know is that the hurricane warnings are posted for the bahamas and rightfully so. 36 hours of a storm at 140mileperhour or greater in any spot will do unimaginable damage and harm to that area. Storm surge, wind damage, an awful lot of rainfall coming down too like thats not even a huge problem at this point in time when your winds are 140. Waves off the east coast will be 40 feet. Thats not on shore. There will be breakers before that. But eventually this thing gets up to the carolina with large breakers. But neither model right now all model are in. The european and the american model none of them actually have the eye center over any part of the u. S. Not saying thats eye wall backup thats the center of the eye. Thats some good news just get this thing farpgter out to sea process. Well all be good. Fingers crossed if that happened. But even without direct landfall i imagine all the people who are there along the east coast will still feel the winds and the rains and the storm surge, no. No question about it. 20 inches of rain easy. Because it sits over water and uses the water to make its energy and make it rain and rain and rain on shore. Then wind even at 6 ohmileperhour. Imagine 30 hours of win on shore in west palm or port st. Lucy. That would push water into the back bays and into the inner coastal. Water could go up eight feet even without landfall. So important for everybody to continue preparations for the storm. Chad myers thank you. People living on the coast in northern florida and southeast, georgia, being told today to prepare for the powerful storms arrival. It will either hit with full force or with a glancing blow. Cnns Diane Gallagher is in jacksonville, florida. Diane, how are people there getting ready . Look, ana we have to point out exactly what chad said. Whether its a full force or glancing blow, wrk jacksonville has to prepare for flooding. A large part due to this right here, the st. Johns river, the location kind of in between the ocean and the river here. They may have to deal with flooding in jacksonville. I have covered hurricanes in jacksonville. Even if its not a direct hit to florida, they deal with this kind of flooding in the downtown jair, simply because of the way its situated along the water. And theyve prepared accordingly, ana. There is supposed to be a football game, Florida State versus boise was supposed to play right across the street from where i am. This should be filled with boats, people tail gating. Active, instead they moved the game all the way across the state to tallahassee because they werent sure of the track. And thats a lot of what weve been doing. We have come up the coastline of florida, my team and i. Its that uncertainty, not knowing when it was going to hit, just how intense the storm surge will be, how intense the winds are going to be, getting whether it makes landfall or not and how it affects the lowlying coastal areas. The oeft coast of florida is used to hurricanes. The people here are prepared and they know how to prepare and what td. But its something that makes them nervous. Schools in the surrounding area, jacksonville cancelled classes for students and tuesday. Remember this is labor day weekend. A Holiday Weekend they werent in school on monday to begin with. But they want to take every precaution they can to make sure if they do have flooding in this area they dont have people who are caught in it. They dont have kids at School People who return from maybe being on vacation for the holiday trying to get back here and get stuck in whatever comes this which from dorian. Now, look, youre not seeing much around here right now. To be honest there are not a lot of active preparations going on in jacksonville. The gas station lines arent here. The Grocery Store lines things like that. But remember we are a couple days out. Theyre watching in forecast and these communities trying to see exactly what to expect. But, again, were likely going to see some flooding here because thats what happens due to the storm surge and due to the river here, due to the proximity to the observeren its so eerie to see not a soul in sight behind threw, Diane Gallagher thank you for that update of all the people and organizations moving valuable items out of Hurricane Dorians way. No one perhaps has as big a job as nasa, the space agency decided to move this mobile launcher at the fast clip of 1mileperhour. A launcher is as tall as the statue of liberty, weighs more than 10 Million Pounds and will catapult the next space craft to the moon. But during the sterm it will be indoors for safe keeping. Nasas darryl n pachlt ille is the spokesperson for nasa. Given the forecast good news for people in florida. Does that change anything in terms of your preparations for the storm . No, ana, it does not. We met with our forecaster here at the Kennedy Space center early this morning. And its been determined we are going to have potentially still Hurricane Force winds here at the Kennedy Space center as this storm comes by. So we want to make sure were all buttoned up. Bethe operation yesterday to move a very valuable piece of equipment, that mobile launcher that you mentioned, which is the further for the artemis program, the send the first woman and the next man to the moon. And learn to live on the moon. So we can live on another world like mars one day. We got the mobile launcher moved back to the vab behind me, behind door number three. High bay three. Its locked up tight. The ground systems crew here at the center finished their work yesterday. Now they are hoping preparing and tearing are keggi oh taking care of families and loved ones making sure theyre ready for the storm. That big piece of equipment, the launcher, thats huge. Describe some of the challenges of moving Something Like that, and how vulnerable is that in a hurricane . Well, our engineers tell us the moberly launcher can take winds up to 110mileperhour. But when dorian started getting over that we decided, you know, its best if we have is it inside. He dont want to test it. Its 400 feet tall. When you talk about the challenges to do this it takes about a 50 person operation by our ground team. They had to come in early in the morning, around 5 00 a. M. Yesterday and it took about 8 hours to move that crawler or to move the mobile launcher with the crawler transporter from the launch pad upon a threemile journey all the way here to the Vehicle Assembly building. On the way we have to make sure that everything is stable and steady as she goes. It only goes 1mileperhour. For good reason you wouldnt want it to sway back and forth in Movement Like that. No doubt. Fascinating. You sent us a picture of door yaen yan taken from the space station. Its an amazing picture. Tell us about it. Yeah, thats awesome. Thats from our cameras at the International Space station. And you know we go around the earth every 90 minutes. And so when we got over the top of dorians location we fired up our cameras, trained it on that angle there. And there you see it it is impressive and awesome sight from space. As you can see there, just the size of it alone, even though its a smaller storm historically speaking, from that camera angle, from 250 miles above the earths surface, it really shows you just how powerful it is. Especially looking in the part of the picture where you see the defined eye. A great view from space to help understand the power of the storm, ana. That is an incredible picture. Thank you darryl for sharing that with us. Best of luck as you prepare for dorian to arrive. Thank you, ana. We are keeping a close eye on the dangerous storm.

President trump says he has forgiven madelaine westerhout after she was ousted for revealing details about his family. In a new tweet the president writes while madelaine westerhout has a fully enforceable confidentiality agreement she is a good person and there wouldnt be reason to use it. She apologized. I understood and forgave her. I love tiffany. Doing great. He adds this on nd as yes im currently suing various people for violating confidentiality agreements. Disgusting and foul mouth omarosa is one. I gave her every break despite the fact that she was despised by anyone and everyone. And she went for some cheap money from a book. Numerous others also. I should note that according to the legal experts, the nd as the president had white house officials sign are unenforceable since they are government employees. I want to bring in New York Times White House Correspondent Michael Sheerer. And patrick healy. Did you read the president s tweets there as maybe a veiled threat. Yeah, i think thats pretty clear. While the president had a very close relationship with westerhout he mass a tendency likes to send signals to basically anyone working for him, even though they are government employees, he basically still sees the people asset working for him and that he can both troet them essentially any way that he sees fit. This is how the Trump Organization worked for many years. This is how he did business with people like stormy daniels. And he sees it as a way to do business with with people who get on his wrong side. As you said, ana, experts pretty much agree that the nd as are unenforceable, probably unconstitutional in terms of how the president makes his threats and sort of sees how he can manage his own employees. Michael, our reporting is the president viewed westerhout like a daughter when you read about her role in the white house she comes across as a hope hicks 2. 0. What do you know about her replace with the president . One of the things that has always characterized in white house is that it doesnt operate with the normal discipline and strict yurs of a regular white house. Normally there are well defined roles. People play the roles and abide by a set of rules enforced by the chief of staff and on down throughout the rest of the administration. This this white house has always been sort of chaotic in the roles that people play. And what madelaine westerhout seemed to play was not so much just a receptionist or secretary who books meepgts with the president but rather somebody mo whose job it was to make him happy. You know, we talked to somebody for our story today who said that one of her roles for example was to sort of indicator to the president s anger at ever being in a meeting or an event that was half full, right. She was always making sure that every time that the president appeared in the white house for some kind of event that there were lots of people rounded up to make sure the room was full. You know, thats not something in a traditional job description. But it is in this white house part of the kind of informality and sort of wide ranging kind of roles that these people play. And when you have that kind of informality you sort of have this kind of situation more often where, you know, the people get on his bad side and suddenly theyre out. Yeah, considering how close she was with the president , how much he, you know, maybe utilized her, given what she told reporters, didnt get into the public sphere as far as we know what could she have said that would have been enough for the president to say see you . There was a sense we reported that today too. He was ambivalent about firing her. There were people around him saying look this crosses a line you cant really allow to stand. I think the ambivalence reflected what you suggest, right . Which is that he was close to her and he did sort of see her, you know, as part of a kind of inner circle like hope hicks, like some of the other people and frankly like his children, ivanka and the others who sort of obviously play a close consulting role to him. But, lack, from what the reporting suggested, the New York Times was and at the meeting, from the reporting she went on at locate talking about the family and intimate details. And that really is a line that most president s wouldnt wouldnt allow to be crossed without consequence. We should note cnn was not at the meeting either. Let me pivot to another tweet of the president s in the last 24 hours. Facing questions over whether he tweeted classified material with this picture that shows the apparent aftermath of an explosion at an iranian rocket launch facility. Analysts say the granular level of detail in that picture appears far superior to pictures the u. S. Published in the past or ever admitted to having. And there is that white mark on the photo circled there. Looks like maybe the flash of a camera. Someone perhaps the president took a picture of the picture. Patrick, does it matter whether that picture was classified material given he is the president he has the authority though declassify it. It matters because of the possibility here that he took a material in such a hamhanded way and simply put it out on twitter as he does with so much commentary, bluster, lays, however he wants to promote information that he just wants to put out there. But this is information that one would say historically, you know, if the United States had in its possession would be handled with utmost care and discretion. The president we dont know this for certain. But for a president wouldnt normally be screen shotting material of this kind of highly sensitive nature of a place like iran and then just post going on twitter. For what purpose . It would allow iran to know also what the u. S. Can see. Absolutely. Absolutely. But its not the president at least we know the president to be such an impulsive communicator, this doesnt seem like it was some kind of three dimensional chess game with the iranians. It seems again like the act of someone playing around with photos and twitter and trying to put something out there. Patrick healy and Michael Sheerer good to have you both with us.
