Im frances rivera. Im ayman mohyeldin. The eastern seaboard is on high alert as Hurricane Matthew the strongest storm in years closes in on the u. S. Overnight, the eye of the storm made landfall in eastern cuba with its strength in tact, a category 4, winds reaching up to 140 miles per hour. Eight deaths have been tolled so far. This after it tore through haiti, flooding streets, flattening homes in what could be the worst crisis to hit the nation since the deadly earthquake in 2010. Each hour, matthew is creating impacts on the eastern seaboard. Officials are taking zero chances. A state of emergency is in effect from florida to the carolinas. Evacuations are underway. South carolina, calling for a complete coastal shutdown. Our goal is to make sure you basically get 100 miles away from the coast. What i will tell those people thinking of fought leaving, if you think you can take care of yourself, then at least think about my Law Enforcement and my National Guards men because they are going to have to be the ones to go out and try and get you and you are putting their lives at stake. While were tracking that, lets go to bill karins. Things are looking better for new england and the atlantic region. Hurricane warnings have been issued north of miami. Four fort lauderdale. Those will likely be extended up into the areas of georgia and South Carolina later on today. Tropical storm warnings for miami. Let me give you the latest number and statistics. Its north of cuba. The storm will go over the warmer waters during the day today. You can see the loop of it there. Now safely off the coast. Well have to wait and see how much it with can regenerate. Its now a category 3 storm. That track takes it through the bahamas. Then were going to move it up right along floridas east coast for 24 to 30 hours starting thursday night into friday evening. Thats when the most damage and destruction is possible. Now that path is paralleling the coast. If its 20 miles to the east, it may not be that bad. If we shift it towards the coast, it could be devastating. Very tough forecast there. As i mentioned, things have improved a little bit. Were thinking off shore tract with less of an impact in North Carolina but South Carolina and georgia, it will be a close call. This is it a scary scenario. We could make it out or it could be very bad. Well have to wait and see. Thanks, bill. Now to the only Vice President ial debate of the campaign. It was combative. Democrat tim kaine and mike pence squared off in a 90 minute hotly contested show down. Most of the night was about defending their running pate, sparring over a whole range of topics from domestic issues to foreign policy. At very times, the issues of trump taxes resurface. We have a tax code, for, that actually is designed to encourage entrepreneurship. Why wont he release his taxes . Were asking the question about the business thing. I do want to come back on this. His tax returns showed he went through a very difficult time, but he used the tax code just the way its supposed to be used. He did it brilliantly. How do you know that . In there first and foremost, donald trump supports our troops. Donald trump supports our veterans. He wont pay taxes. Donald trump has paid all the taxes do you not take deduction, how does it work . It is about our troops. I understand why you want to change the subject. Kaine continued to attack pence running mate in a heated discussion about nuclear weapons. Ronald reagan said Something Interesting about Nuclear Proliferation in the 1980s. He said the problem with Nuclear Proliferation is that some fool or maniac could trigger a catastrophic event. I think thats who governor pences running mate is, who ronald regan warned us about. Senator, that was even below you and Hillary Clinton. Thats pretty low. Reporter pence was mild mannered, kane was far more aggressive. The two battled over which campaign hurls more insults. He says ours is an insultdriven campaign. Did you all just hear that . Ours is an insultdriven campaign. To be honest with you, donald trump had said all the things you said he said in the way you said he said them, he still wouldnt have a fraction of the insults that Hillary Clinton leveled when she said that half of our supporters were a basket of deplorables. She said they were irredeemable. They were not america. I mean, its extraordinary. Did donald trump apologize for taking after somebody in a twitter war and making fun of her weight . Did he apologize for saying africanamericans are living in hell . Did he apologize for saying president obama was not even a citizen of the United States . Will you look in vain to see donald trump ever taking responsible for anybody and apologizing. Following the debate, trump said mike won big. We should be proud of mike. John harwood tweeted that a trump advisor thinks pence won overall but lost with trump because of missed opportunities didnt defend him. A new cnn orc poll thought 48 thought pence won, 42 gave the nod to tim kaine. Earlier in the day donald trump and Hillary Clinton made campaign stops. As usual they launched more attacks on one another. Clinton criticizing trumps treatment of women and boasting business prowess. Andrea mitchell has more. Reporter donald trump in arizona. I made my money as a very successful private business person. Hillary clinton made her money as a corrupt public official. Reporter and Hillary Clinton in pennsylvania trying to remind suburban republican women about the past week. In this moment with a 15yearold girl. I see with my own eyes the damage donald trump does when he talks about women and how they look. You are more than the way you look. No, you should be healthy, you should take care of yourself, but were not all going to end up being miss universe. I hate to tell ya. Clintons surrogates out in force including Michelle Obama knocking trump for his debate microphone. When she gets knocked down, she doesnt complain, she doesnt cry foul. Youve got this crazy system where all of a sudden 25 million more people have health care and then the people are out there busting it sometimes 60 hours a week wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half. Can you imagine what he went through after making that statement. Bill clinton and the Campaign Walking that back. President obamas talked about that, that obamacare needs to be improved, it doesnt need to be sacked and scrapped. That was andrea mitchell. And on the trail today, donald trump will hold two rallies in nevada while his running mate mike pence kicks off a bus tour with a rally in virginia and one in pennsylvania. Hillary clinton doesnt have any events today but bill clinton has two events in ohio. Bernie sanders campaigns for clinton in iowa and wisconsin. Tim kaine will do so in philadelphia.

Just ahead, a stunning revelation by actor ben stiller you dont want to miss. Plus late show Host Stephen Colbert has the purrfect show. Youre watching early today. Little dakotas nose was quivering in fear. Because it knew an ordinary tissue was near. The fiery tissue left her nose sore and red. So dad slayed the problem with puffs plus lotion, instead.

And clear your worst cold symptoms. Start the relief. Ditch the misery. Lets end this. Welcome back. Normally this familiar face gives us laughs but on the howard stern show, ben stiller gave a starting announcement. I had Prostate Cancer a couple years ago. At first i didnt know what was going to happen. So i was scared. He was scared but now the actor is cancer free. He published an essay to talk about his experience. In it he attributed his Current Health to the psa blood test which detected the cancer early. He said this, taking the psa test saved my life literally. If the internist had waited, as the American Cancer Society recommends, until i was 50, i would not have known i had a growing tumor until two years after i got treated. However, there are organizations that recommend against regular psa tests saying theyre not always reliable and they can lead to over treatment, but it really is shocking when you look about these numbers, statistics. Second most common cancer. Second leading cause of cancer death. That one really hit home. One in seven men will be diagnosed. You count any seven men that you might know.
