Go to the beach, you drive over the big coastal highway, this is england by about 8 miles. it's our first drive along look like this to see what things are like and it's great to see all these trees still standing, there are a lot of limbs in the road, having some connection problems there with the mobile hook up, we are probably using a live view here which is a piece of equipment that connects to the internet signals and broadcasts these live pictures. you see a tree there split in half on the left, some debris on the right. it the drive along gives us a kind of idea. originally the storm wa...

The problem is, the population has increased by about 25% since hugo. we hate comparing storms, because each storm is completely different. these are both very powerful storms, though. so it is a decent comparison. but with the population increase, the storm surge, and the rain already on saturated ground, the storm has the potential to be a lot worse. >> so jennifer, the idea that this may become a cat 3 by the time it actually makes landfall, i mean, that's obviously better than it being a 4, still an incredibly strong storm, why might it go down to a 3? and is that new information? because ...

Incredibly strong storm, why might it go down to a 3? and is that new information? because i remember yesterday, tom sater talking about the possibility of this storm not being able to maintain itself as a 4. >> well, i think that's basically because this storm is going to slow down so much, the steering currents for this storm are basically going to go away in the next three to five days. so this storm is going to sit right off the coast. and when it does that, it's going to continue to shred that coastline and start to weaken and tear apart just a little bit. so it could still maintain a wea...

Happening, and how well prepared we are. >> thank you, mr. president. unfortunately hurricane florence is setting out to be a devastating event to the carolinas and potentially virginia as well. as you can see, they're forecasting a major landfall storm, category 3 or category 4 at landfall. biggest hazard we are worried about is storm surge, primary driver of the evacuations under way by the states of north carolina and south carolina, virginia now. as the system comes in and makes landfall, during the weekend it is forecast to stall out, lose its steering currents and drop copious amounts of...
