Lets go to Omar Villafranca where the storm came ashore. Reporter hermine made landfall 15 miles from here and its storm left its marks. Thousands of trees like this one were toppled over. This one happens to be 50 feet tall and now blocking this road. Thousands of people are still without power and the storm surge has swallowed entire communities. Overnight, hermine smashed into floridas gulf coast. Making landfall as a category one hurricane around 1 30 a. M. Eastern time, dumping torrential rain. Oh, my gosh i cant see reporter and unleashing powerful winds of 80 Miles Per Hour. The first hurricane to hit the state of florida in more than a decade has already knocked out power to tens of thousands of people. Roads in Alligator Harbor have been torn apart. Massive storm surges, some projected to be up to 12 feet high, are pummeling coastal areas. Evacuations are under way in areas north of tampa where water has jumped over sea walls and started to push into homes. I dont know if my house is flooded or isnt. Its really, really bad. Like, ive never seen it like this before. Reporter as hermine churns northward the street is completely under water. Reporter its soaking parts of florida that have already seen close to two feet of rain over the last three days. Governor rick scott has declared a state of emergency in 51 counties with 6,000 National Guardsman on standby and urging everyone not to take any chances with this storm. We can rebuild a home, we can rebuild a business. We cannot rebuild your life. Reporter the storm has lost some of its destructive power as it heads north. We have been checking with officials and they say so far no word on fatalities. That is some good news. Omar, thank you so much. Meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez of wfor is tracking its path. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Hermine made landfall as a category one hurricane just east of st. Marks, florida. That was overnight around 1 30 a. M. Although it has weakened into a Tropical Storm, it is still drenching portions of central and north florida. And in fact were seeing the threat of more flooding, storm surges and tornadoes possible. Tornado watches have been issued for georgia and the carolina coast. Its expected to continue along the path up the carolina coast into the weekend. We could see an area of low pressure or a Tropical Cyclone just offshore. Regardless all of the moisture will lead to torrential rain, possibly up to ten inches around georgia and the carolina coast. The northeast will need to remain on high alert the next few days. The Tropical Storm could have a devastating affect on floridas fine against zika. For the first time, officials have trapped mosquitoes carrying the virus in the continental United States. The insects were found within the miami beach zika zone. Michelle miller is here with how officials are responding. Michelle, good morning. Good morning. The discovery of zika inside those mosquitoes confirms that the insects are, in fact, spreading the virus here in the United States. And as hurricane hermine hits florida, where 49 people have been infected by local transmission, the states governor is bracing for the impact. We have got to get rid of standing water. The most important thing to do now and after this storm hits. In the leadup to hurricane hermine, florida officials have been relentless removing even the smallest traces of water to stop the spread of zika. I think all of us expected there could be mosquito carrying zika. After inspecting nearly 2,500 samples, florida officials identified the virus in three groups of mosquitoes trapped in miami beach. A first in the continental United States. If there are positive traps, we know when, we know where. All right . We can identify where this transmission is occurring. One of those positive traps was at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden which is temporarily closed while crews remove its featured plants. The flowers collect water where mosquitoes where they can breed. While hurricane hermine could drop more than a foot of rain in parts of the state, Scientists Say its impact on mosquitoes is a doubleedged sword. The good news about hurricanes is they can wash away mosquito populations. The downside is that the hurricane will interrupt any ongoing efforts of mosquito control, and then as the floodwaters recede, we could see the reappearance of mosquitoes. Another problem florida is facing is fighting zika is the cost. The director of the cdc said this week that funds have almost run out. The house will consider a 1. 1 billion zika bill when it returns from vacation next week. Michelle, thank you so much. Donald trumps immigration plan is getting backlash from some of his strongest latino supporters on the day after he promised to enforce the law and deport immigrant law breakers trump sent new mixed signals. Deen reynolds is here with the issue hobbling the nominee. For donald trump, spelling out his immigration policy is proving to be more difficult than maybe even he expected, raising doubts for hispanic supporters who are key to helping him catch Hillary Clinton in the polls. This is just the start of a very tough, detailed negotiation. I mean, this is no different than any deal. Donald trump said thursday his meeting with mexico president pena nieto would eventually result in mexico paying for trumps border wall. He said im not paying for the wall and i said youre paying for the wall and we will see what happens. The problem is that immediately after wednesdays meeting, trump claimed the payment issue never came up. And, yet, his host emphasized on twitter what he said he told the candidate to his face. Mexico would never pay for a wall. Mexico will pay for the wall. The proposal is central to the immigration plan trump laid out in phoenix on wednesday night, including a stark warning to undocumented u. S. Residents. Anyone who has entered the United States illegally is subject to deportation. Trumps tough tone angered hispanic supporters. We heard a populace propaganda con artist and im done with it. Not only did he double down on his proposals but i think they are worse. Several members of his Hispanic Advisory Council took his rhetoric as a cueto quit. One record to the Republican National committee that trumps council is a scam formed simply for optics. Now in two separate interviews yesterday, donald trump said, this immigration plan is a softening of his original stance. And the crowd in phoenix, on wednesday night, was so boisterous, they may have misunderstood him. Still, what trump actually intends to do remains unclear. Josh . Dean, thank you. Hillary clinton will have at least one more distraction before election day dating from her time as secretary of state. The Associated Press is reporting the state Department Plans now to release all of her Detailed Planning schedules from then by mid october. The schedules may answer questions about the clinton foundations access to the department. The Campaign Announced yesterday that 37 clinton fundraisers in august helped bring in about 143 million for the campaign and the democratic party. The campaign has more than 68 million in cash on hand for the final stage of the race. Polls show the race got tighter last month as clinton held just 19 Campaign Events compared to 42 for donald trump. Clinton is now promising to bring reporters on her campaign plane, something she has not done before. Cbs news political director and face the nation moderator John Dickerson is here. Good morning. Lets start with the usa today poll that shows supporters say candidates are more motivate by fear of the other candidate than excitement about the person they are supporting. Thats right. Once again, a reminder this may be a referendum election . Absolutely. 80 of trump voters are voting for him because they are scared of clinton and 62 are voting for her because they are scared of trump. Thats why its depressing for some people. Its a referendum how bad the other person are and this isnt a election people are not motivated by. They are motivated by the fear of the alternative and what that means actually is not only is it going to be potentially continually a depressing election but how do you build a mandate for governing . Whoever wins there will be a sourness to the victory and that is a problem if you want to do something when you get in office. Also problem for the members of the Hispanic Advisory Council. Its own candidate position with regard to immigration words like con artist and scam, never good for a nominee. And the Washington Post has a story how trump got from point a to point a on immigration. It seems everybody, including the nominee, is a bit confused here. Its also weird to be confused on this signature issue this late in the campaign. Usually in this part of the campaign, a candidate is reaching out to new groups and talking about other issues. He had the immigration thing pretty much down in terms of his core constituency. It was annest to show a different phase, the notion of softening, that he was taking some of the rough edges off as a pitch to Republican Voters who found him too risky, too volatile. That has been muddled. It has been bubbled a little. He had this show event in mexico which was also aimed at those voters which got some great reviews as a pure act of theater. No substance to it. But then that has been a little bit overtaken by the difficulty and confusion and the reiteration of his harder positions. John, the New York Times is actually reporting that Trumps Campaign is planning pretty heavy for his visit to an africanamerican Church Tomorrow in detroit. They are also talking about scripting answers to questions and they have been submitted in advance. What do you make of that . The old donald trump said if you use a teleprompter that disqualified you for the presidency and meant you have no thoughts of your own. Now they are scriptng not just the questions but the answers for this event. This is another show event as a part of the new strategy to show he is a different candidate than the one that is frightening that group of Republican Voters and people think the key hurdle for donald trump can he inhabit the office . Does he have the judgment and temperament to inhabit the office . The show events are meant to show that he can kind of behave more like a normal candidate. But is it genuine . You mean the outreach, itself . Yes. Well, i think they would like to get the voters in the africanamerican community, but i think that is not the only audience. The audience is these republicans who worry about him and its a larger part of the electorate and trying, again, to make the notion he is kind of a traditional candidate. They are trying to make him look normal because what he is the old donald trump has a limited constituency. John dickerson, thank you. We look forward to seeing you on the late show with Stephen Colbert tonight and sunday on face the nation. John speaks with new Jersey Governor Chris Christie and arizona senator jeff flake. That is sunday morning here on cbs. Spacex says an anomaly called a dramatic rocket explosion on a launch pad. The falcon 9 rocket blew up yesterday in Cape Canaveral, florida. A 200 million satellite was on board and facebook planned to provide it for examining outer space. The rocket was full of fuel when it blew up. The rocket was scheduled to take off from Cape Canaveral on saturday but minutes before an engine test on thursday, something went wrong. Massive flames shot into the air on the launch pad before part of the falcon 9 rocket came crashing to the ground. In a tweet, spacex ceo elon musk said the fire started around the upper stage oxygen tank. A 200 million satellite was also destroyed in the blast. Facebook planned to use the equipment to provide Internet Access to parts of africa. Mark zuckerberg said im sorry to see it failed to launch our satellite. We wil keep working to provide what the satellite could have provided. Space x has successfully launched dozens of rockets from Cape Canaveral, thursdays explosion is the second for the company in 16 months. Last june, another falcon 9 rocket blew up minutes after takeoff. No one was hurt. This is a major setback for spacex and its customers, including nasa. Cbs news space consultant bill harwood says the latest incident could impact the International Space station which partially relies on spacex to deliver their supplies. Clearly, these rockets have to get flying again or nasa will run into problems at some point keeping the International Space station supplied. The next space launch is scheduled for september 19th in california and still unclear if that launch will be impacted by thursdays event. Thank you. It was interesting to hear about this, but this satellite would have helped deliver Internet Access to africa. Lots of people.
