I have an hr complaint. Can we count on you for potato salad . You are crazy. Do you make potato salad . Charles, you have a good show. I appreciate you guys and thank you at home for joining me. Today on velshi , what is behind the alarming new revelations from donald trump worldal . It may be an understatement but there is a lot going on and we will get into what you need to know about the sizable slice of the american electorate that does not care. Plus, donald trump doing everything to appeal to Working Class minority voters, one of my favorite star wars quotes, it is a trap. If you dont believe me, i have invited two republicans of colored to join me and break it down. Velshi did not leave us alone without an episode of his beloved fan club. This week, he is in conversation with a group whose work to defend democracy and motivate women voters includes their very own chapter of the book club. You dont want to miss this conversation. Velshi starts right now. Good morning. It is satu
the reason you have to turn away is because it s too painful even with the glasses on. that s weather channel s mike seidel reporting overnight from ft. pierce, florida. one thing we re keeping a close eye on with hurricane matthew is storm surge for these coastal cities. cal perry joins us for that angle. storm surge kills more people in hurricanes than wind and rain. this was the lesson learned from past hurricanes. it may be the story at this one as we look at our model and how it s tracking. as it tracks north all of this water is going to be pushed up against the coast and specifically let s take a look at jacksonville and this is a way to simulate out what we could see. this is taking a look at a category 1 hurricane and the blue areas are going to give you water up to three feet. yellow up to six and then orange will give you six feet and over. as we go to a category 2 you see how it spreads inland. this is why we saw such massive evacuations. this is what a category 3 hurri
block from the beach. there is just to our left of this picture like parking and maybe some park area. there are the sand dunes and then there s the water. that s how close we are. so i think the surprise is that what we re looking at is that the storm surge has not come over the dunes and made its way here onto a1a. we ll position the car by turning a little bit left here because the wind is right now coming to us from the north. as we do that, i ll switch cameras and step outside so you get a better idea of what the wind is like because it can be rather deceptive when we re looking from just inside a vehicle. okay. so i ve made my way now outside. let me change microphones here.
all morning long. a difference between five miles between significant damage in the areas or maybe minor damage. a close call. as far as storm surge goes, we just had a four-foot storm surge in cape canaveral. everyone south of there avoided storm surge. that s fantastic noise for coke cocoa beach. the storm will be closer and because of the angle of approach and the way winds will pile up water on the coast, that red coloring is up to ten feet of storm surge. we haven t even seen even half of that up to this point yet. that s why this storm has a chance to be historic. that s why you still need to be away from the coast from northern portions of florida through georgia and south carolina as we go throughout the day today and then tomorrow we ll bring that back up into areas of south carolina. so once again, the path of the storm is going to be parallel to the coast. we may not expect a landfall of this major hurricane.
okay. so again, the hurricane is that way. it s north of us right now. it s a big hurricane and of course the tropical storm winds are behind us. if you walk up here, i want to just see we don t have a whole lot of light here. it s not working. all right. we re having a little bit of trouble with your mike. we can hear the sounds of the ocean though. no question about that. water churning out there. we ll get back to kerry in just a few minutes. he s trying to put a light on things for us. meantime, hurricane matthew is heading up the east coast now but before that it caused significant damage and massive flooding in the caribbean. in the bahamas, some american tourists are stranded on what
