Weve been getting it like this for a good six hours. Sally made landfall before dawn, as a powerful category 2 hurricane with winds up to 105 miles per hour. The wind has just been relentless here in Downtown Pensacola. This is main street and its just nuking white caps with this storm surge. Debris, traffic lights, littering this street. Watch as this tractor trailer tips over on interstate 10 above mobile bay. And part of the pensacola bay bridge now torn away. The powerful surf sending this barge right into someones backyard. In mobile, more than 300 firefighters on duty, going house by damaged house, cutting through trees to reach those trapped. This woman, now safe, giving praise as she was taken to an ambulance.

And while more than five feet of storm surge was rushing into pensacola, our ginger zee seeing the reverse. Right now, i am walking on mobile bay, right at the head of the dog river. This was full of water yesterday, but when the winds shifted to the northnortheast, the bay pushed back into the ocean on the backside of sally. Reporter back in pensacola, destruction everywhere you look. I mean, just look at the sheer damage of this building. The whole second half ripped to the ground. Reporter in gulf shores, alabama, where sallys eye crossed ashore, new drone video shows the back of this tenstory Apartment Building completely sheared off. You can see the bedrooms, sheets and curtains blowing in the breeze. Thankfully, it does not appear that anyone was inside during the storm. And were thankful to report, so far, there are no fatalities with hurricane sally. But the winds and the waves were so powerful for so long, they broke several of these construction barges away. Some of which ran aground, like this one, nearly climbing up onto this sidewalk. They were working on that bridge in the distance, that is now damaged, a very important bridge to this community that is now closed until further notice. David . All right, rob marciano leading us off tonight. Our thanks to you, rob, and to the whole crew there. And of course, there are warnings and watches from florida up through virginia now. This is a slow mover. Lets get right to chief meteorologist ginger zee, also in the storm zone in alabama tonight. Ginger . Reporter we drove from orange beach to gulf shores to right here in mobile, alabama, and david, you have to see this damage behind me. That is a Church Steeple that is dangling precariously there from the church. We had 82 mimileanhour winds here in mobile and thats what did that. There are still winds with this storm, anywhere from troy, back to dawson, georgia. Youre getting some of those hefty bands. Tallahassee still has it. Theres a tornado watch and a flash flood emergency. If you are in a flash flood warning, do not get in the car. Thats how you survive the rest of sally. Now, lets time it out and talk about where this thing is going. It is going to move through georgia tomorrow and then through friday, well see South Carolina and north carolina. Timingwise, it is going to bring an inch per hour rainfall rate. So, montgomery, over to macon, atlanta tomorrow morning, early, and then it will clear out from georgia and move into South Carolina and north carolina. So, david, its really important, as we watch this, to realize that even up to norfolk, we are under flash flood watch, because we could see anywhere from four to even six inches, a half a foot of rain, still possible that far north from sally. All right, we appreciate the alert tonight. Ginger, our thanks to you, as well. Were going to turn now to the coronavirus here in the u. S. , and President Trump moments ago contradicting the cdc director, dr. Robert redfield, who spoke today about an initial vaccine here in the u. S. And on timing, saying most americans likely wont get the vaccine until well into next year. Just before we came on the air tonight, the president said the director was confused today. The president offering his own timing. And theres news coming in tonight on another positive case of the virus inside the white house. Heres mary bruce. Reporter tonight, with the election fast approaching, President Trump wants americans to know a vaccine is coming soon. His administration announcing that as soon as one is approved, theyll start shipping doses within 24 hours. We think we can start sometime in october. So, as soon as its announced, well be able to start. Reporter but on capitol hill, the head of the cdc said that while a limited supply may be available in november or december, most americans will have to wait much longer than that. If youre asking me, when is it generally going to be available to the American Public so we can begin to take advantage of vaccine to get back to our regular life, i think were probably looking at third late second quarter, Third Quarter 2021. Reporter but late today, the president bluntly rejecting that scientific assessment. I think he made a mistake when he said that. Its just incorrect information. I believe he was confused. Reporter joe biden today with a warning. We cant allow politics to interfere with a vaccine in any way. So let me be clear. I trust vaccines. I trust scientists. But i dont trust donald trump. Reporter we pressed him on the message hes sending to americans. Is there a risk that that message, that questioning the president on a vaccine, could prevent people from trusting the science, from trusting a vaccine when there finally is one . No, because they know he doesnt have any respect for scientists. There has to be total transparency, so scientists outside the government know exactly what is being approved. The context in which its being approved. And why its being approved. Reporter for a vaccine to work though, to be effective, you do need a certain amount of the population to be willing to take it. Thats right. Reporter youre youre saying, dont trust the president , trust me if im elected. Are you confident that enough americans will buy in . No, im not. Im saying trust the scientists. Reporter and if the Scientists Say a vaccine under the president s watch is safe and effective, take it . Absolutely. Do it. Yes. Reporter biden also took aim at the president s comments in the abc news town hall. The president still refusing to urge americans to wear a mask. There are a lot of people who think the masks are not good, and there are a lot of people that, as an example, you have who are those people . Ill tell you who those people are, waiters. They come over and they serve you and they have a mask, and i saw it the other day, where they were serving me and theyre playing with a mask. Im not blaming them. Im just saying what happens. Theyre playing with a mask, so the mask is over and theyre touching it and then theyre touching the plate and that cant be good. There are people that dont think masks are good. Reporter but today, the cdc director made clear masks are good and necessary. Face masks, these face masks, are the most important Public Health tool we have. I might even go so far as to say that this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against covid than when i take a covid vaccine. Directly contradicting the president last night in our town hall. Mary bruce in wilmington, delaware. And mary, President Trump moments ago reacted to the words of dr. Redfield today, saying he is wrong on masks, wrong on a Vaccine Distribution timeline, but to be clear here, for folks at home, most Public Health experts agree with dr. Redfield on this . Reporter they do. But despite the fact that top scientists back up redfield, the president is completely undermining him. We cant stress enough, this is just an extraordinary clash between the president and his own cdc director, right in the middle of a pandemic and with just 48 days until the election. David . And real quick, mary, before you go, the president just now confirming another member of the white house staff has tested positive for coronavirus . Reporter he did, but the president provided very few details. We do not know who this staffer is, but the president said its not someone who hes been associated with. David . All right, mary, thank you. And tonight, after that alarming rant by a top trump official at the department of health and Human Services, hes now taking a leave of absence. It comes after he made allegations against scientists at the cdc and telling Trump Supporters, if you carry guns, buy ammunition. He also said, my Mental Health is definitely failing. Heres our chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl tonight. Reporter the embattled head of communications for the agency leading the trump administrations response to coronavirus is taking a leave of absence, days after a bizarre Facebook Rant where he urged Trump Supporters to prepare for armed insurrection and talked about his own health problems. My health is failing. My Mental Health is definitely failing. I dont like being alone in washington. The shadows on the ceiling in my apartment there alone, those shadows are so long. Reporter the video, which was posted on facebook on sunday, had been deleted and was obtained today by yahoo and the buffalo news. In his rant, Michael Caputo, a longtime trump loyalist, described several debunked unfounded conspiracy theorys, accusing scientists after the center of Disease Control of sedition. The partisan democrats, the conjugal media and the scientists, the deep state scientists, want america sick through november. Reporter he predicted a violent conclusion of the president ial election, without providing evidence, warning of leftwing hit squads. If you carry guns, buy ammunition, ladies and gentlemen, because its going to be hard to get. Reporter and civil war. This is war. Joe biden is not going to concede. When joe biden loses, they will try to steal it. Reporter a day after he posted that video on facebook, hhs defended caputo, calling him a critical, integral part of the president s coronavirus response. Caputo and his team had been under fire after reports they pressured scientists at the cdc to change their weekly reports on the pandemic, to put them more in line with the president s message. Today, the head of the cdc, dr. Robert redfield, told congress he was saddened by the accusations and declared them absolutely untrue. Redfield also insisted there has been no political interference with the cdcs weekly covid19 reports. At no time has the scientific integrity of the mmwr been compromised. Reporter caputo recently had a potential cancer diagnosis. He put out a statement today, saying hes taking time off to deal with that. In that statement, he made a point of thanking dr. Fauci for conferring with his doctor about his condition. He said that he had learned a lot from the doctors on the Coronavirus Task force and, david, he added, sometimes we disagree, but we work in unity to defeat the virus and we care for one another. David . Jon karl tonight. Jon, thank you. We continue to follow the devastating wildfires in several states in the west.

Newly released paperwork revealing at least one person revised an incident report in which prude was originally labeled as a victim, to write, make him a suspect. Police alleging video shows prude broke a store window before the encounter. Today, the familys lawyer telling us he has not seen that video. That shows that the coverup began immediately and it began not only with the officers involved in the incident, but their supervisors and higher level police officials. Reporter Disturbing Police body camera video shows officers in march covering prudes head with a spit hood, later pinning him to the ground before he stopped breathing. Documents also showing officials efforts to delay releasing that footage. An email in june shows mark simmons, then Deputy Police chief, writing his boss, we certainly do not want people to misinterpret the officers actions and conflate this incident with any recent killings of unarmed black men by Law Enforcement nationally.
