Haiti. Florida governor rick scott is warning, do not wait to get out. Do not wait to evacuate. As people on long, long lines for gas hope that theres enough fuel to get them out. As far north as South Carolina, the governor there ordering hospitals and Nursing Homes to get their patients out. We are set up across the caribbean and in florida where millions are bracing for a direct hit. We have the latest track of this monster storm from the cnn weather center, of course. First lets bring in our Senior National weather correspondent. Shes on the edge of south of miami. Where you are right now, it was devastated by hurricane andrew in 92, how are people in the area preparing now for this new monster storm . Reporter this is 35 miles south of miami, and this is a city that was almost completely wiped off the map. This has been a town that weve seen trying to prepare, trying to get out, heres the problem, you need fuel in order to escape, this gas station that were standing at, you can see that the windows are boarded up, tape is up here, the reason why, within the last 15 minutes, they just ran out of fuel. Theres some deezle left. Theres a gas station over here, two more on the side, theyre out of fuel. Right across the street, that citgo, also shuddered, completely out. The options here, south of miami, they are dwindling. After seeing the devastation irma left behind in the caribbean, floridians are bracing for a monster. Boarding up their homes. And preparing to get out fast. Todays going to be the deadline. People are going to get caught in the turnpikes. Theyre going to get caught in the roads because theyre going to do that last minute panic. Its going to be too late. Reporter urgency echoed by governor rick scott this afternoon. As the Sunshine State braces for the most powerful hurricane ever recorded. We cannot save you when the storm starts. If youre in an evacuation zone and you need help, tell us now. Reporter from kissimmee to ft. Lauderdale, people are waiting hours for fuel. Reassuring them supply is the top priority. Meez take only what you need. Be considerate of others so everyone can get out. Reporter as tankers make their ways in to meet demand, smaller boats and cruise ships are heading out, at least one Cruise Company tells cnn it is using its vessel to evacuate employees to calmer waters. This is a serious, serious storm. Ive called it a nuclear hurricane. Reporter the mayor is sounding the alarm as ambulances stand ready to move the last of its patients out of harms way. Early this morning, Broward Countys Animal Shelter evacuated more than 175 residents by plane. In order to make room for displaced pets during the storm. Physical Broward County doesnt get hit, they will be the receiving shelter. Reporter miami beach is now under mandatory Evacuation Orders, but still, some residents are vowing to stay. Maybe its stupidity of the first class, but nevertheless, i want to stay at home and i want to see if i can survive it. Reporter thousands more are heeding orders, crowding floridas airports and state highways as they flee their homes not knowing what they may come back to. So four gas stations here just on this corner completely out of gas, except for some diesel that the one station. The concern here is as the weather models get scarier and scarier, the options are simply disappearing. Jake. All right. Thank you so much. The big question of course what part of the United States will take a direct hit from Hurricane Irma . As florida braces, moments ago we learned President Trump has signed an Emergency Declaration for the state of South Carolina. Cnn meteorologist tom sader is in our weather center. Tom, what is the latest on irmas path . Well, weve seen some fluctuations, east and west, the last couple of days. It hasnt been by much, but it doesnt take much to really throw everything just kind of out of joint because now weve got several more million americans that really could be looking at an impact. Were going to take a look at this, we have our storm which has dropped five miles per hour, jake, by the way, here is jose. Its headed toward the Leeward Islands and could be a category three. Thats like 24 hours after harvey, get another hurricane watch. This is madness. The storm center now getting ready to throw in some high winds, the turks and caicos which hopefully most have been evacuated. They could see a 20 foot storm surge. Now the warnings through the bahamas. However, this is a big, big deal today, jake. We just dont see the National Hurricane center just slap up a watch anywhere it pleases. There is heavy consideration, great analysis in this, it costs millions and millions of dollars to slap up a watch, somewhere in the u. S. Because of the federal, state, and local aid thats needed. The resources, and for all the the citizens that need to pack northward. Again, its just a watch. Watch out, but this is going to become a warning as the system gets closer. Now as you were asking, more on the track. These are the spaghetti plots, theyre different than the european and of course the u. S. , the gfs still some of the models, some outliers like the uk go down into cuba, almost disregarding that. If you split the two. We have paths that are off to the east. We could take a look now of a planning chart. The colors you see here are when you can expect Tropical Storm force winds. So you dont want to be leaving in Tropical Stormforced winds, and that southern florida on saturday. Youd actually like to leave tomorrow if you can early if youre still trying to hold out. Youre watching this move up quickly and theres big concern for that because of the size of irma. We could see, as this makes land fall, its so massive, yes, the eye is 23 miles in diameter, but out 50 miles a hurricaneforced winds. Tropical storm forced winds will swallow the entire peninsula. But heres where the shift is getting interesting. Notice, it doesnt show much from yesterday and even last night. But when we get down in closer and we break down some of the models here for you, youre going to be able to see more of a difference, jake, i think between the american and of course the european. This is something i want to point out to you. Last thursday, there were 1,200 miles between the two. The u. S. Model was up by the northeast, but the european last thursday is right where it is now. The consistency is overwelcoming, but the european model has shifted more, almost a direct line to central south florida where the u. S. Kind of hugs just the coastline, but that has even shifted westward. It was further away off the coast. So again, weve got two scenarios right now and both are devastating. One the european then slides it directly up florida, and of course, as we get into around sunday evening, it looks like into monday morning, right over orlando. So for everyone who is evacuating northward and think youre fine, i would tell all the residents in north florida, stock up on fuel and food as well, theres a lot of mouths to feed and there could be mass chaos. But the secondary track could just make a land fall right into around savannah, georgia. Jake. Tom sader, thank you so much. Joining me is rick scott, thanks again as always, the latest updated storm track appears to show irma making a direct hit on miami and the florida keys. Though of course the track could still shift. Is florida ready . Were working very hard, jake. Were very ready. Im just working hard to make sure our citizens are ready. Our biggest is fuel availability. I have had phone calls with the oil companies, with the carriers, with the retailers to try to get more fuel to our citizens. We have some shortages, we had some outages. Its the biggest issue, ive been working with the white house, the epa, fema, department of transportation, to, you know, reduce regulations so we can get more gas in the state. Were doing everything to get more fuel to the state. Were providing i hear youre talking to escort go ahead. Keep going, im sorry. And providing escorts to get the carry yars out of the fuel depots, out to the stations as fast as they can without getting stuck in track. Were seeing bottlenecks for traffic as people are evacuating. Were trying to make sure we get through the traffic as fast as possible. So we get everybody the fuel to evacuate. I hear that youre talking to the federal government and to the fuel companies, are you seeing any results . Yes. We got some were getting additional tankers in to port tampa bay. We have three tankers coming in if today, each of the tankers has 1. 2 million gallons. We are getting more fuel there. There was some fuel in the panhandle and in georgia they were able to get done into florida that are in trucks. So were and was with secretary pruitt, scott pruitt this morning, and the waiver, to get more fuel into the to be used and i got that done this morning. Still working on some other regulations. Ive talked to the white house, ive talked to fema, were working on that. My concern is i want to make sure people can evacuate. Theyve got to have the fuel to evacuate, and then as soon as this thing hits, ive got to have fuel when people want to get back into their houses. And so ive got to think about how to get ready, but afterwards how do i make sure people can get back to normal as fast as possible. Do you expect Evacuation Orders to expand as Hurricane Irma approaches . Absolutely. I was just i just finished my third city today, jacksonville, and theyre working on their Evacuation Orders. Heres whats different between this and andrew. A lot of people know about andrew. This is a bigger storm, it has way more wind, but most importantly, has way more storm surge. Even if states like jacksonville, if it continues to path it looks like its going now, if you follow the National Hurricane path, theyre going to see storm surge, but in south florida, you could have tenplus feet of storm surge. Your house could be covered. And so, its different than harvey which was a rain event. This thing is supposed to be fastmoving. We wont get as much rain, but you can get a band of water coming off the coast and just engulf your house. So youve got to listen to these Evacuation Orders and understand, this storm surge is deadly. And thats my biggest concern. People dont they havent dealt with it. We had some last year, our first hurricane hermine, but it was in area that didnt have as many people, so people didnt see all the damage it caused. It causes unbelievable damage. I dont want to lose one citizen. I want to take i want everybody to be safe through this hurricane. All right, governor rick scott, thank you so much. We wish you the best of luck with your goal. Thank you, jake. Before the United States takes a direct hit from Hurricane Irma, the category five storm is ripping through the caribbean. Were going to go live to haiti next where the impact is being felt right now. And officials tell cnn, they are not ready for this storm. Stick around.

Were watching this deadly and storm hitandrun urricane irma. Irma has already killed at least six people and brought unprecedented destruction to parts of the caribbean. Its battering parts of haiti right now. Cnn paula newt season live in haiti. Haiti has been devastated by other natural disasters. Officials there told cnn, told you, theyre not ready for irma. And its aftermath. Reporter pointblank, saying not only not ready for the storm, were not ready for the aftermath of the storm. What does that mean . No provisions, water, theyve tried to evacuate some people but are having a hard time either because they do not have wellstocked Evacuation Centers or people refuse to leave. Let me tell you whats at rirveg here. More than 100,000 people in low lying areas, thats the storm itself which we continue to feel here, but also higher in the mountains. Youre talking about the risk of mud slides and flooding, last year during hurricane matthew, you had entire families swept away from their homes, you know, very basic homes swept away into the sea and that is the fear here today. Yes, officials being blunt, they were waiting for help from the government, as of yet, few hours ago, it had not arrived. Jake, we are lucky here, we are getting the back end, not a direct hit. If theres any country that could use luck, its haiti. Theyre praying their luck remains as they see the effects of an enormous storm even if youre just getting the back end of it. Paula newton in haiti, stay safe please, thank you. We heard Florida Governor rick scott tell citizens get out now. The entire state of florida is now bracing for this monster hurricane.
