Reporter im Mark Strassmann in charleston, south carolina. Overnight with 80mileperhour winds and crashing surf before making its way up the atlantic coast. On skittaway island in savannah, a possible tornado strikena spawned by the storm battered a dozen homes in this subdivision. All that racket woke up neighbor tom woiwode. Rumble like as they said, a freight train, and then it was done. It looks like a big mower just came through and mowed down the trees. Reporter if hermine streth atlantic, up to 15 inches of rain could fall in southeastern and Midatlantic States over the weekend, cities like charleston, south carolina.

Reporter well, maurice, coastal communities from here in new england down to the mid atlantic watching hermines progress very carefully this weekend. Theres a big complicating factor with this storm. So, today, its been moving very quickly across the southeast, but look at the pattern as we head into this weekend. Builds over the top of the storm. That closes the escape hatch, if you will. It cant get out to sea, so it slows down and then it stalls. In fact, if even drifts back to the west, at the same time reintensifying and maybe becoming a hurricane again as it nears the jersey shore. Its not just this weekend but into monday, into tuesday, into wednesday and thursday. It will drift offshore, really churning up the ocean and the bottom line is as we head into the day on sunday, at the the bottom line is from mid atlantic to new england, significant beach erosion, some major coastal floods are possible, especially in new jersey. Maurice, it might be the worst flooding since sandy in 2012. Dubois meteorologist eric fisher watching for us tonight from boston. Thank you.

B. I. Released 58 pages of documents on its nowclosed criminal investigation of Hillary Clintons use of private email servers while she was secretary of state. Heres julianna goldman. Reporter during her three andahalfhour interview on july 2, f. B. I. Investigators showed Hillary Clinton classified emails from her personal account while secretary of state, many she didnt clinton didnt recall receiving any emails she thought should not be on an unclassified system and repeatedly said she relied on state officials to use their best judgment when handlingen classified information.

She questioned the classification level and said she saw the email as a condolence call. Good morning. Reporter days later, the f. B. I. Announced there was no evidence clinton or her aides classified information, but director james comey was still critical. They were extremely careless. Reporter today, the Clinton Campaign said the materials made clear why the Justice Department believed there was no basis to move forward. Wa but donald trump seized on the rare release of f. B. I. Documents, saying, i really dont understand how she was able to get away from prosecution. While investigators said cyber attackers tried to gain access to clintons server, the f. B. I. The information on her server wasnt compromised, in part because they didnt have access to the 13 smartphones the report found clinton may have used. Clintons lawyers said they couldnt locate them. One aide recalled two times where he destroyed old mobile devices by breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer. The documents will also certainly give ammunition to trump and his supporters who have been questioning clintons health. She told investigators, maurice, that she couldnt recall every briefing she received at the end of her tenure, in part because clinton was working less after her concussion and subsequent blood clot. Dubois not only are trump and clinton disliked by many americans, a new poll today shows many voters are afraid of them.

You have no jobs. What the hell do you have to lose .

Keith owens is the Senior Editor of the michigan chronicle, an African American newspaper here in detroit. Has there been Much Community reaction to trumps visit .
