Yet but eye of the storm is brushing coast and it hasnt lost any intensity still 120mile an hour wind, a high category three. There is Cape Canaveral and you can see dry slot in the middle of the storm, the eye of the storm, literally and all the rain that has been pushing on shore, and quick look at the path of the storm takes that loop in the middle of the next week more details but you need to know we have a ten out of ten today. Bus stop buddy in his eagles gear. Make sure you have Long Sleeve Shirt and sweater on because we have temperatures in the 40s and 50s. At the airport 54 degrees, cloud around, sunrise happening right now, 7 04 is official time 48 degrees in allentown, wildwood is 63. Fiftytwo this wilmington delaware. Mild afternoon with a high of 76, just like yesterday, bob kill i, wish it would last through weekend. 7 02. Good morning everybody. Heres your speed meter reading, slow go on the schuylkill, i95, blue route but we have a fire location in southwest philadelphia at 58th and readland with the local detours. Crash over new Jersey Church road over 295, and squeezed there for gang through cherry hill, patco in cherry hill westbound trains into philadelphia with running with ten minute delays and Airline Travel advisory check with the airline before you intend to fly throughout the weekend, mike and alex, back to you. This is halfway between tampa and melbourne. Yes. Right in the center of the state probably 25 miles south of orlando where disney world is shut down for only fourth time in their history. Look at how high wind are, probably 75, 85 miles an hour and plenty of rain and that is so far inland from the coast, can you imagine what the cozies looking like. And wind over a hundred miles an hour reported with this storm. In a hurricane more people die from the water, storm surge and water, drunken steady of the high wind. State of emergency, president has declared that for the state of florida, georgia, South Carolina. I wouldnt doubt North Carolina is next for that. Were talking about 11 feet have of storm surge. That is catastrophic. That is where people drawn. There will be no one to help them because we cannot put our First Responders at risk. Lets find out we are learning more about what has happened in hate i because of matthew. Interior Ministry Says 283 people are confirmed dead in the wake of the storm. Rescues are happening here. That number is expected to increase as First Responders get to remote area left by the storm. Hurricane matthew smashed concrete walls, flattened palm trees and tore roofs off homes in the country and flood waters wash out bridges in some spots. We have footage in the bohamas north of haiti of a roof blowing off. Lot a this. So this is caught on cell phone and strong wind, ripped it right off. Thankfully those living inside they made it out safely but other parts seeing similar damage including flooding and major roadways being block. You will remember yesterday we talk to one of my friends a reporter in the bohamas in bohamas and talk about how strong wind were making its way to bohamas. He was standing in the strong tv station in bohamas in the capitol and the floors were blown opened, windows blown out. I have been worried this morning because checking in throughout the day. I have been sending him messaging. He had been responding. Last message was 5 00 p. M. And sending him messaging and then before i went to bed and woke up maybe 30 minutes ago and still havent heard from him. There is in power lines up anymore, cell service is down. Maybe just cant get it. I would hope so. Hopefully he is okay. Speaking of electricity, some folks from the Delaware Valley are heading down to the storm location and jennifer is waiting for them, hi there, jenny. Reporter more than 160 peco employees will be heading down south later today. Hat 10 30 we should see 35 truck caravan leave the eddystone facilities here in Delaware County, a additionally last night our cameras got video of members of the Pennsylvania Task force loading up to help down to florida this group of of Fire Fighters left from northeast philadelphia and plans to do what it can to provide aid to struggling communities dealing with the aftermath of the storm. Yesterday we saw red cross volunteers loading trucks with supplies that will make its way down to a least leave center in Columbia South carolina red cross says it has hundreds of volunteers, helping the south with east vac ways centers for anyone who needs to get out of harms way. One of the things that makes red cross so powerful we run toward danger but we run for soul purpose of helping our neighbors. You know, we have a saying here that heroes dont wear capes . Our heroes wear red cross vests and they run into danger to help our neighbors. We have over 500 volunteers across the south right now, we have 90 of these Emergency Response vehicles from across the country in the south and they are now prepared to help and were standing by ready to assist if needed. Reporter utilities are projecting more than two and a half million customers could lose power as a result of this storm, again, group of peco workers here in our area in Delaware County will be leaving here around 10 30. We will be here to show that to you later on fox 29 news at 5 00. Mike and alex. Wipers betting work on those trucks, for sure, nothing but rain all the way down to the carolinas and georgia, and florida. So are you flying through atlanta today to get someplace else in america. A lot of people do. You should be concerned then. This is affecting flights, at the airport. There is a lot of planes there southwest, it looks like american. Ton of people out there already. Out there taking a flight, they want to talk to dave kinchen, dave . Reporter a lot of flights cancelled and you take a look, show you board first because they have the latest cancellations there. Really orlando looks like they have the biggest amount of cancellations at this time. There are flights, one to savanna, georgia cancelled, these are all departures from philadelphia and not just talking to florida but georgia as we have just mention there had and South Carolina dealing with cancellations because of the hurricanes path. We can tell you as we show you lines here these folks dont appear to be impacted at all traveling elsewhere and we can also tell you that Phl InternationalOfficials Say that flights are set to come back on line later today Even Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale they are planning to have more flights due from that area, once the storm moves out of that way and that could happen later today. There is some good news. Bottom line is you have to check your flight plan and check with your airline before you head out the door, back to you. I think things are starting to clear up in miami, because matthew was out to sea parallel with miami now seeing central florida. It went over it a little bit. But you what sue has been saying, it is hugging the coast but hasnt made land fall just yet. You are not right just hugging the coastline, the search is on though, for three men in connection with the shooting in our area because we have news back here at home as well. Three gunman shot a 37 yearold man in the head and chest at 7 30 last night. Medics pronounced him dead on the 2300 block of north reese street. So far no arrests. Talking about shootings there has been a lot in millville and south jersey and concern is growing after all this recent violence, including one shooting by a school. That school right there the other day. Parents are pleading for help because they fear for childrens safety, dozens of residents gathering last night at buck and foundry street where a man was shot on wednesday. One parent tells us that have been 15 shoot initial six months in millville. Nobody should be living like this. These are conditions of war. I worry about them every day between riding in these areas, going back and for the to school, im concerned about all of the kids in the city. Residents want to bring that technology called shot spotter into millville, and in homes, when it hears gun shot and police are directed to rush to the scene of the gunshot. Other communities in our area do have that. Philly has that as a matter of fact, some Philadelphia Police officers can confirmed that on twitter at mike fox 29 at alex holley tv. That is right. 7 10. In new jersey here we go again lawmakers are expect to vote to daze on a measure that will raise the states gas tax by 23 sent per gallon. Vote was cancelled last minute on wednesday, after democrats failed to get enough support for the bill. They held off and they will try again today. Money from that tax will pay for road, bridgework in the state. At least we hope. Well, here we go judge puts the stop on uber x and lyft in philadelphia. The taxi workers alliance, had sued back in july, state lawmakers let uber and lyft have a temporary okay for Democratic National convention in july, but that expired last week. So, uber x is operating yesterday, we saw witt our camera. 7 11 now. Lets get back to covering Hurricane Matthew, and it is right new in florida, with georgia, and South Carolina up next. I think this is video from florida, as you can see rain coming down there and palm trees moving, they are still feeling strong wind. Sun came up at four minutes after 7 00. That is seven minutes ago but it is such heavy overcast, and heavy, heavy, Hurricane Matthew is keeping it dark, for sure. Hey paul is back with us, Simons Island which is a Barrier Island off the coast of georgia, paul, what are you seeing. Reporter were seeing what you expect. We have got wind, rain. We move closer since we saw an hour ago and by water now and surf is starting to churn up here. We are starting to get waves in here. This is only the very beginning. You talk about live picture from florida. That is heading this way. We have several hours to go but right now it is pretty miserable if i do say so myself and it will get worse. Big concerns on this island would be storm surge here, very low lying, Barrier Island as you just mentioned, so once we get waves coming up here this area could experience flooding and they have said that everybody on the island needs to get off. Needs to hurry up and evacuate while they still can. This island is connect to the mainland and other island by causeways and bridges and officials here are saying when it gets too windy here we will end up losing those bridges. They could totally fall apart, we could have water wash over the bridges. Once we hit Tropical Storm force wind when we have winds sustained at 40 miles an hour they will shut down bridges. Anyone left behind is left behind. I would say if you are not off one of those six or seven island off the coast of georgia, it is too late, isnt it, paul. Reporter you are cutting it very close. You can probably still headache it off but winds, they are not Tropical Storm force yet but they are getting there. We have heavy gusts here and rain is picking up. It is not the a pretty drive but just do it. If you have family and friends that say im in the leaving, im staying tell them you have an hour to pack up and just get off the island and go someplace else. It is such a dangerous storm three, 50 miles wide. Thanks, paul. Sue, do we know how big the eye is. I can figure that out. I can tell you where it is, it is 35 miles east north east of Cape Canaveral. We have a closeup picture of radar. Pretty big eye. It has grown since being in the bohamas yesterday and dry slot in the middle. We have had reports of 102 miles an hour wind gusts, there, just not too long ago, about 6 00 this morning, you can still see heading in the west northwesterly direction, still hugging the coast but not headaching official land fall yet heading towards Daytona Beach. We will see what happens if it does sometime this morning. Rain, tropical rain, extend as far north as North Carolina and even southern virginia and we expect as we look ahead to our weekend with our cold front coming through the rain from that cold front to merge with some of that tropical moisture and it all comes our way, tomorrow, so, throughout the day it is on and off rain until nighttime when we see, most of the rape, move off shore but maybe a little bit left over, through sunday if you are at the shore but sunday may end up being more cloudy day, and, little bit of sunshine but should be dry for most of us so half and half weekend. Fiftyfour in philadelphia. Forty in mount pocono. Sixtyone in dover. 63 degrees in wildwood. Your average high is 7o we went well above average yesterday with a high of 76. Another mild day to day with 76 and then that may be last one for a while, those showers tomorrow 72.
