CNNW CNN Tonight With Don Lemon September 8, 2017

Hurricane warning for florida. It includes the florida keys and the florida bays. You see the track there. Storm surge warnings also issue said in coastal communities. Those surges could reach 10 feet. Mandatory Evacuation Orders for parts of miami county, broward county, lowlying areas. Georgia governor ordering a mandatory evacuation of anyone east of i95. And that includes the state of savannah. And in South Carolina a mandatory Evacuation Order takes effect at 10 00 eastern time. Now, President Trump has declared states of emergency in florida, puerto rico and the u. S. Virgin islands. Slamming turks and caicos over night, and now it is heading for the bahamas. I just want to say that the window in which you can safely leave florida, certainly south florida is closing rather rapidly. We have a category 5 hurricane. We know already that gas has been limited or nonexistent at a number of service stations. You can expect power outages, expect floods. Theres going to be lots of wind damage. Why not leave . That is just good advice. Noi to turks and caicos onward. Slit the difference between the bahamas and the cat island, those are islands going to be on the right front portion of this hurricane. And because of that thats when we potentially see tornadoes, very strong storm surge. Its not 185 mile per hour, but we see these different fluc look at this. Now weve got all the of the bahamas, the northern coast of cuba also west palm beach, martin county, dade county all involved with millions of people in the line of danger. And what the mayor said days ago was a nuclear hurricane. It is. We havent seen anything like this in recent history. It was hurricane andrew back in 1992. A lot of people werent even born then to remember the devastation from that. All right, here we go. These are hurricane warnings out for south florida. I do bant to get to the computer models. But right now 5 to 10 feet storm surge, meaning that water gets pushed up onshore. This is the rpm. This tells us where the water will be. This is going to be a bit of a different depiction of what happens with irma. But there you can see approaching the Southeast Quadrant of florida. The entire florida peninsula will be engulfed by some form of irma. Whether you see Hurricane Force winds, tropical force winds, the flooding, but it is going to be devastating. And it starts to make a little bit more of a turn towards the west. All right, here is our european model. The european model is updated. Brings it in towards the florida keys. Its just a little bit to the west side of this and then brings it up more towards tampa. But the american model has it just to the east of center. So either way, theres really not much difference. 50, maybe 75 miles difference between the two. But either way youve got a category 5 hurricane now. Could be category 4 by the time it makes landfall. When is landfall . Right now computer models are saying saturday night, possibly sunday morning. It is moving quickly, but it is such a strong system. In recent history, we havent seen anything like that. Its just going to swallow florida. And we should remind people. Its important to point out your window to get out is closing. But if youre one of those moving away from this storm, youre still going to need supplies. We know its going to be days of trouble after this. A gallon a day per person is what everybody really needs. And even if it takes that right turn, youre still in Hurricane Force winds. Last year the three county area that stretches from miami to palm beach tops 6 Million People for the first time. It shows rapid growth since 1992 when hurricane andrew hit to area. You can see here state governor rick scott warning people to get out fast. We cannot save you when the storm hits. We cannot just remember this. Once were in Evacuation Order, get out. We cant take care of you in the middle of a storm. The administrator from Monroe County making it clear all hospitals will be closed. All will be closed and ambulances will be gone this morning. If you dial 911 in Monroe County, no one will be there to answer. Isa soares live in miami. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. The message there is very big. Get out if you can. It seems most are heeding those warnings. What we have seen today is long lines as people make their way north. Its almost like youre watching a mass exodus. People have packed up. Super market shelves are mainly empty as i walked into one super market today. Tin foods, water, crackers, bread, thats all emptied out as people prepare not just for irmas powerful arrival but also what mele ahead as many advising it could be weeks before we get any sort of electricity up and running. The point you touched and that it petrol. As people make their way north, pack up their goodies, close up their shops and really just hunker down, they are trying to get petrol on their way out. But theyre coming facetoface with very long lines. So in order to mitigate this and facilitate this, police are coming in, helping. And the hope really is that will get the fuel moving, that that will get the lines moving quicker so people can get out. The fortunate part here, what the mayor said, lets keep it moving, stay safe, but get out is an important point. Meanwhile, weave additional 13 shelters that are being created here in miami. Thats additional to the eight already in place. One of those im being told is fully stocked and no place in one of those for animals. It is going to be a powerhouse of a storm. And where i am here in miami beach, as you can see its absolutely empty. It is in many ways very desolate. Christine, dave. Itll be a warm, sunny day in southern miami. But that is literally the calm before the storm. Thank you for that. Joining us on the phone heading to the mandatory evacuation center. Good morning to you. Good morning. What made you decide to heed the warnings of your governor . Many there are staying. And what are the conditions like as you tried to evacuate . We chose to evacuate because its way too dangerous to stay. Our travels actually havent been too, too bad. Getting out of the keys have been it was actually easy peasy for us. And we hit traffic probably around naples, and then it was just solid traffic from there. So thats really added to the life of our trip. O youre in two cars. Your husbands traveling in one car with the dog, the other car with the cat. You want to get out with your pets. Where will you stay . Were told so many of the hotels are really booked up now. Yes, that was the initial problem deciding where we were going to evacuate to. Almost every hotel we called didnt have vacancy. And because we have pets, that makes it more challenging. So we finally found a hotel in alabama, and thats where were headed. Thats great. Many people just decide to stay because of their pets. Good to hear you are getting out. Whats the mood in the neighborhood before you left . Were people like you heeding the warnings of the governor and Public Officials or were some people deciding to hunker down . Our immediate neighbors, everyone was leaving. Everyone was boarding up and packing up and getting out as far as they could. Yeah, this storm is so big. I mean a lot of times people in florida, they feel like theyve seen tropical storms, theyve been through this. But its pretty clear, dorothy, right, this is a monster the likes of which weve never seen before. This one is twice as big in terms of area. Im actually from canada, so we dont get hurricanes there. So this is a first for me. You said not just people heading out but boarding up. What are the preparations you had to make to your home and others around you had . Well, weve put up all of our shutters. We moved anything that we could inside our house. Just praying that our house is Still Standing when we get back and we still have a roof. Well, we hope your house is just fine. But the most important part is you decided to make the right decision and get out of the way of this storm. You, your husband, your pets best of luck to you. Thank you. Beautiful florida keys. People from canada, the northern part of the united states, theres a reason why people move there because its so gorgeous. This is the other side. Thats the other side. Its only a matter of time before hurricane jose moves in. Were going live to the bahamas next. The original call was for langoustine ravioli. A langoustine is a tiny kind of lobster. A slight shellfish allergy rules that out, plus my wife ordered the langoustine. I will have chicken tenders and tater tots.

Joining us via skype right now in the bahamas, good morning to you. What are you seeing there . It looks relatively calm. Yes, it looks relatively calm. But its pitchblack in the middle of the night. Theres the atlantic ocean. And the ocean has been rising since a day we arrived here two days ago. We arrived and it was a paradise picture with calm, Shallow Water and really beautiful. And now we feel irma is arriving. Yesterday people were all rushing up and preparing for the worst, trying to get as much water, food as possible and trying to take shelter. And now this morning we can definitely understand what this was all for. Irma is arriving here. The winds are picking up where and the water just behind me is getting noisier and noisier and coming up from the sea. What the are options in terms of evacuation . Is there Higher Ground to seek there . How are people getting off and taking cover . Yes, were currently in the northern most part of the b bahhaman archipelago. Those islands were evacyuted yesterday and the day before. The government has proprovided shelters in the capitol right here and inland. And all those people who have houses and live closer to the shore have been asked and advised to move towards the center. Of course these islands are not big islands. Were talking about small, tropical islands in the middle of the ocean. And if the sea rises up to 20 feet as we can expect, these things can get very, very serious here. Hurricane irma leaving a path of devastation. Thanks so much. Four people have died in the u. S. Virgin islands as a result of Hurricane Irma. That brings the total of storm related deaths to ten. This of what were going to show you is part of the devastation here. A bridge connecting the Virgin Islands and haiti washed away. The governor warning everyone on the island not to test mother nature. Hunker down. Stay where you are because you cant go out because the winds are just strong. Nobody can get to you, either. Well have a live report from turks and caicos later on in the program. A 15. 2 billion Hurricane Harvey relief plan. All five living president s together to help Hurricane Harvey victims.
