Aliens. Blm to the lead. Im dana bash in for jake tapper. Breaking news in the national lead, dorian just upgraded, now a major category three hurricane and it will get even stronger. Dorian could grow into a cat 4 storm before it slams floridas east coast. The governor telling everyone to get ready now. The intensity of the storm i think there is a pretty high degree of center this is of certainty this is a major hurricane. Do you have time before it reached to prepare. With this powerful storm on the way, gas has become a major issue. Some stations are already out. Food and water are hit and miss at some florida stores. Evacuation orders are starting to trickle in as another problem emerges. Dorians forecast shows its slowing down which could mean it could linger for days. Cnn has teams up and down the florida coast ahead of dorian. We start with cnn meteorologist allison chinchar. So dorians newest track will come out within the hour. What do you expect to see. We may see a change in that track. Weve had new model runs come out for both the american and european model and both of them showing changes which may in turn result in an official track change from the National Hurricane center. But here is what we know now. Hurricane dorian winds at 115 miles per hour. That officially makes it a major hurricane. The movement is still to the northwest at about 10 miles per hour. Were going to have to focus on that direction and that speed over the next 48 to 72 hours. Because that is going to answer two very essential questions, where it makes landfall and when does it make landfall. But as of now we still anticipate additional strengthening up to a category 4 storm. Unfortunately it will be that strength as it crossed over the bahamas and still expected to be a major hurricane when it makes landfall across some point in florida. And then the question becomes when does it turn back to the north . This is where the different models rary. One going further west, one going further east. Here is a look. This blue dot is the European American model. Dot is the the red dot wants to make a landfall likely late monday night into early tuesday morning. Near kind of the central portion of florida. Then pushes further inland before finally going off to the north. The european model, the new run really just skirts along the coast and they both then head up towards georgia as well as into the carolinas. Thank you so much for that. I want to get straight to florida to rosa flores in West Palm Beach and the governor said fuel shortages are becoming a problem. Youre seeing that firsthand. Is there a plan to get more gas to the stations . Reporter you know, that is the plan. Let me show you around because im in a gas station that does have fuel and you could see that the line curls around this light. From talking to people here, they say that they have been driving around trying to find gas stations that have ga tha have gas and this is one of the few that does. But if you take a look here, some of the pumps do have gas and others do not. The owner of this gas station said his family owns four gas stations and only this one has gas at the moment. Now here is the thing, because there is a state of emergency for all 67 counties, that waves the rules. That allows the fuel of the flow of fuel to come into the state, that of course is because Governor Ron Desantis issued that declaration. Here is the other thing, dana, we learned from the Governors Office that florida Highway Patrolmen will be escorting refuelling trucks to strategic and critical areas in florida. Again, because there are already reported shortages. And dorian hasnt even made landfall. Buff again a lot of people here waiting in line, looking for fuel stations that actually have fuel to make sure that they can be prepared for a potential evacuation. And rosa, real quick, have you encountered or heard about any reports of price gouging . Reporter yes. Indeed. The attorney general of the state of florida telling cnn just moments ago that they have received at least 1,000 calls of price gouging. Most of them for fuel and water. In fact, the owner of this gas station telling us he was one of those individuals who reported a price gouging of water. So were going to continue monitoring and seeing if those numbers will increase. But according to the attorney generals office, it is against state law to price gouge because there is that evacuation excuse me that state of emergency in the tate of florida. Rosa, thank you so much for that report. Now cnns leyla santiago is in north miami where supplies are flying off the shelves. And layla, what is going on . Is it a mad rush or do people feel like they have the weekend to stock up . Reporter weve seen a little bit of both. Some moments where they are peaking and folks coming in and then now where you are seeing a calm down. We are in the section right now where this was made last night because of the hurricane. A section for supplies. You have batteries, a power bank to charge your phone, you need candles, they also have extension cords, presumably for generators that could be used should power come out and then take a look over here where you could see this is a popular item, the lanterns. This layer is just about gone. They have got some more down here and i could see these folks are looking at the price, getting ready. 15 she mentioned to have that lantern and be ready for Hurricane Dorian. Go right ahead, maam. So one of the things that folks are also looking for, water, we were here when a truckload came in. It lasted maybe about an hour before they ran out. And folks are making sure that they have those basic supplies to get through what government officials are recommending at least seven days should power be out, should resources be limited after dorian. Dana. Sounds like people are heeding that an hour is all that lasted. That is incredible. Thank you for that report. I want to get to Dianne Gallagher in Central Florida at orlando airport. This is one of the busiest airports in the country. From what you are seeing, are they prepared . Reporter i would say they are extremely prepared right now and the truth is the effect of dorian has quite hit the airport just yet. You could take a look and see there are expectations of delays and canceled flights. That hasnt kicked in just yet. What you see over here is all of the lines of people starting to try and fly out. We have talked to people who have cut their vacations short. People who were trying to get back. They didnt want to risk the fact that the hurricane came in early. And so here at the airport i sat in on a meeting just beyond those doors with they sat with airlines, they talked with noaa and the faa and other members of government officials about how they could determine how long they could keep this airport open. Whether they could let these people begin to begin flying out if the storm is coming. If you have a visit to disney or universal, right now you could still come but that may change in the coming days, dana. I would think so. Diane, thank you so much. Well get back to you certainly as more information comes out at the airport. And up next, were going to talk to a mayor whose city is right in the hurricanes path and plus the critical Trump Administration post not permanently filled which could spell trouble during the aftermath.

Were back with the breaking news. Florida bracing for a direct hit from Hurricane Dorian. Keith james joins me, the mayor of West Palm Beach florida a city in dorians center path. Mr. Mayor, thank you for joining me. The storm is gaining strength, what is your most urgent concern. Our most urgent concern and immediate concern obviously is the health and welfare of all of our residents. And we are doing everything to get the word out to them to be prepared. The storm itself will bring plenty of rain so weve got concerns about flooding. Theyll be wind and so were concerned about wind damage, et cetera. So the more the better people are prepared ahead of time, the better chances of getting through this relatively unscathed. Joining us now from west palms Emergency Operation center. Do you anticipate ordering mandatory evacuations . We dont know. That is a possibility. And that is prael and that is a call by palm beach count because the evacuations will extend beyond the borders of West Palm Beach and so well take our lead from the county itself. I dont know what the thinking it over there at the county but well certainly abide by whatever their instructions are. If an evacuation happens people have to be able to leave. And we have been reporting that gas stations are reporting themselves that there are fuel shortages. So how are you and other officials there addressing that so if people have to leave, that they can . Well weve heard the complaints about fuel shortages as well and were using whatever influence we might have to try to get fuel in. Obviously the governor has a little bit bigger pulpit to stand upon, bully pulpit but i know hes aware of the situation. The port is only an hour away from where we sit here in West Palm Beach so we hope combined efforts of the governor and us as mayors can influence getting some fuel here immediately. And the governor did say he wants the florida Highway Patrol to escort fuel trucks to these areas where there are gas shortages. Are your teams there in your city helping with that . Well, we havent been approached. That would be the florida Highway Patrol. Were certainly ready, willing and able however the governor may need our assistance and we understand that is a priority and we want to be available to assist any way we can with that level. What is the communication level between not just you and county officials and state officials like the governor. Are you in communication. Yes. We are in communication. Even at federal level. The effort of cooperation and collaboration among the Different Levels of government has been out standing and we anticipate it will continue to be that way. Who rur hearing from at the federal level. Weve heard from representatives at the white house. I had a conversation last night, we have they have my cell phone number, i have their cell phone number and we know that we could get attention at that level immediately if necessary. One last question about the population in your city. West palm has a very high retirement population. Are you making special arrangements for the elderly, those in retirement or assisted living or even Nursing Homes . Let me correct one thing. The average the median age of West Palm Beach is actually 39 years old. Let me correct that. Were not just a city were not trying to mess up your tourism. I understand. Ive been there. But the fact is that there are people who will need special assistance. And that is a very fair question. And we have sent out yesterday we sent out teams of firefighters and police, weve identified all of the Nursing Homes, all of the assisted living facilities in our city. We sent them out on yesterday to check on them and make sure they have generator capability, that they have sufficient levels of food and water and so were being proactive in this effort and were not going to be caught in a bind as may have been the case on some other communities two years ago. Exactly. And that is precisely as you know why i ask the question. Keith james, thank you so much for your time. Well let you get back to your work for preparation there. Thank you.

As Cnns Kaitlan Collins reports this is as one of the president s closest confidants is forced out. As Hurricane Dorian heads for florida, President Trump is headed for camp david. This storm looks like it could be a very, very big one indeed. Reporter that is where hell monitor the labor day storm but hell do so without a permanent fema administrator or a confirmed Homeland Security secretary by his side. New cnn reporting revealing that three months into Hurricane Season trumps pick to head the Disaster Response agency jeff beyer is still waiting to be confirmed by the senate. Acting administrator pete gainer has been running fema in his place. And while he has a decade of experience in emergency management, dorian is his first hurricane in charge of the agency. They are probably short a few thousand employees when it come foz reserve. Reporter gainer told lawmakers the agencys full time force is fully staffed. But those temporary employees who helped during disasters like this one are understaffed. It has been a struggle. Reporter another official by the president s side during a Natural Disaster is the Homeland Security secretary. B
