this is "new day weekend" with christi blackwell and victor blackwell. >> tropical storm florence brought catastrophic flooding and the worst is on its way. florence is creeping across the carolinas right now, just 3 miles per hour. already 13 people have died. meanwhile, 800,000 customers do not have power this morning in both states. and hundreds are still stranded in their homes. the storm has dropped 40 inches of rain since making landfall friday morning. it could be three to five days before the water levels peak. and that could pose problems to those along the coastal communities and the dozens of

rivers stretching among the states. this morning three of the people killed were killed by the flash flooding. >> and we know downed trees and power lines are still a very big concern there. kaylee hartung is in fayetteville, north carolina. first of all, what are things like where you are, kaylee? >> reporter: christi, when florence barreled through here with the eye coming through wilmington on friday, you mentioned downed trees and power lines. one of the trees fell and claimed the life of a woman and her 7-month-old son in their home. but now we are working into the second phase of the storm damage will do to this area. there is a crisis situation in the wilmington area as the cajun navy was a called into action by the fire department to rescue people from their homes as the floodwaters began to come inland. you mentioned the rivers, some of them not expected to crest until monday or even later in the week, but those waters are

beginning to rise and take effect. and surprise people, in effect. yesterday i was up just north of here in pender county. a county under mandatory evacuation. and officials there told me they hasn't yet had called for service. nobody had needed rescuing from their homes if they had stayed, but the concern was that as this storm moved on, as the storm was downgraded, that people would be wanting to come back to their homes to survey the damage that it had done. but the reminder again that the damage that this storm will do is so far from over. just after having that conversation with an official, where she wanted me to continue to caution people not to try to come back to their home, i encountered a family who was in the process of packing up their things, of evacuating, of heading somewhere as the desk station is unknown, but they recognized it was time to leave their home because the northeast cape verde river had already begun to creep into their yard. typically a 200-yard walk. that family told me they

expected to lose everything. they were packing up so much as their furniture and personal belongings because they hoped to have something to start over with after the floodwaters came up to the second story of their home. as they are expected to do later this week. victor and christi? >> thank you so much, kaylee hartung, for the update. we have the president of the cajun navy, good morning to you again. there were hundreds of rescues that your group executed on friday and saturday. are there still people that you know of that your volunteers are trying to get to? >> oh, yes. in fact, we just -- it's a little after 5:00 over here, and we actually just rescued another over 200 people and we have another 300 to 500 right now. what is happening is the water is coming up really fast. we're not sure where it's coming from. i don't know this terrain really good, but this water is coming up really fast. we got a call from the local fire department to get over here to pick up people. so that's what we have been

doing. >> you say another 300 to 500 people waiting to be rescued? >> yes, at least 300 to 500 from our estimates. we are still struggling, it is really raining hard over here and we are up against the elements. and none of us have slept in days. so we are struggling to keep on. it's been about three days since we have gotten any sleep. >> where are you taking the people? >> right now we have a church on military cutoff road. it's a staging area. and we have about 50 of our volunteers sleeping in there, staying in there. and we have to take the volunteers in. we had about 200 flood victim that is we took there. and we just had buses pick them up and take them somewhere else. right now they are staying in our staging area. >> the people you're rescuing, are these people who decided to stay behind? i know it doesn't matter to you why they are there, but are they people who decided to stay behind or just could not get out or didn't feel like they could

leave? >> these are people who never flooded before. they said they never have come close to flooding. so people are in their 70s and 80s and have been there 30 to 40 years. so it is hard to say why the people didn't get out if they never flooded before, but from what we're seeing here, this group of people, they just never flooded before. >> and we're seeing the video on screen now, some of these kennels here, we understand that you rescued more than 100 animals so far, including many of the animals from the humane society. tell us about the animal rescues. >> the animal rescues are hard. first of all, we're bringing them into a place not suitable for animals. second of all, it's wet, dark, the animals are skaured. so it's a struggle. everybody is working in here, it is really loud, so it's scaring the animals. we're having a tough time, we're making it, but we're having a tough time. tomorrow we have animal shelter people coming from all over the country to help us, because we got a bunch of them out there to

get. >> i know you're working nonstop as you say, that it's difficult to keep going. thank you for the work you're doing. if no one has said it, i'm sure many people believe the work you're doing and the cajun navy are doing. take your time. so listen to this, if you stay, notify your next of kin. that's the message of the mayor of north carolina. one of the many cities under an evacuation order this morning. ron bassley is a reporter from the fayetteville observer. we just heard from kaylee hartung in fayetteville talking to us about a family who is leaving now and expecting to return to literally nothing. is that a fair assumption at this point? >> yes, it is much of an oh, no, not again, with feelings

leftover from hurricane matthew. and we have heard from several officials in the region that it could be worse than hurricane matthew. and we have had mandatory evacuations because of the cape verde rivers and lumber river. those are expected to crest over the next few days, so the worst is really just beginning for this up region. >> i understand that there is a new dam that has been built there, just three months old. and the town manager sent a warning it could be overtaken. how close is that to happening this morning? >> well, the latest update is not a panic, but like you said, more of a warning. they did just finish restoring that. we will continue to provide as many updates as we can via social media and be it the observer. but they wanted to emphasize this warning last night. they do not want to spread widespread panic. >> what is the most urgent need for the people of fayetteville

right now? >> the flooding will continue to get worse. said there are places to stay if you're safe. and if not, call for help and they have been doing water rescues all day yesterday and they continue to do that throughout the region. >> it looks so awful there. thank you so much, rod, for helping us understand what is happening where you are in fayetteville. best of luck to all of you. >> reporter: no problem, thank you. >> sure. florence has been downgraded now to a tropical depression, but remember that categorization means the wind speeds have slowed. it's nothing -- it says nothing about the rain still in the forecast. >> cnn meteorologist jennifer grey, however, has a good gauge of that.

so what does it look like from your view, jennifer? we are seeing rain in some of the places since thursday. it looks like time has stood still over the last 24 to 36 hours. we are still seeing rain pull into north carolina. if you can believe it, 35 miles per hour winds with 45-mile-per-hour gusts. like victor said, that matters very little. what we are seeing are the bands of rain just coming in over the same spots over and over. and that is going to cause more flooding than we're already seeing. so just because you may be waking up in a lull, it is over, that may not be the case. we have a lot of moisture feeding off the coast that will bring in more rain for today, especially through the wilmington area. new bern could get more rain. and we're going to continue the flooding threat going to throughout the rest of today. and this is going to last well into the middle part of the week while we watch the rivers crest. so we could still get up to a

foot of rain over the next 24 to 36 hours. major flood stage in the purpose. moderate flood stage in red. we're going to be watching the rivers crest incredibly high. this is the little river that is going to crest at 35 feet. that's 6 feet above the record. that is already been set. so that's finding to happen monday, tuesday, wednesday and slow down by thursday. this record is at 31 feet now. by the time we get into tuesday, guys, that is going to double. that's going to hit 60 feet, over 60 feet. it is just something that will be incredibly for residents well after the rain has gone. christi and victor, we are still going to see the rivers rise. so don't let your guard down. >> jennifer gray, thank you so

much. look at the winds carrying off roofs and blowing out windows in hong kong. the highest typhoon warning signal is now in effect there. the hong kong observatory predicts the storm is going to hit right to left. and the highest evacuation has occurred in mainland china. >> the pictures are just -- you can't take your eyes off of them. before hit iting china, this ha ripped through the philippines. and now 40 people have died soer fa. and president trump is planning new tariffs on chinese goods. we'll tell you how that will affect your holiday shopping this year. also, a man died after an

make it, squarespace 16 minutes after the hour. "the wall street journal" reports that president trump wants to impose a new round of tariffs on $200 billion worth of chinese goods. and he wants to do it before the new trade talks scheduled for the end of this month. >> yeah, the tariffs can result in higher prices of goods because companies usually pass on the costs to consumers. and take a look at the calendar. the holidays are right around the corner. so the impact could be felt by millions of american consumers. the cnn white house reporter sarah westwood is with us now. what else do we know about the tariffs, sarah? >> reporter: we know the planned tariffs are on $200 billion worth of chinese imports designed to increase leverage over beijing as the u.s. and china discuss the potential of renewing high-level trade talks. obviously, those talks have fallen apart in the past. and china has so far matched

trump's tariffs dollar for dollar because these $200 billion of tariffs would be on top of the $50 billion of tariffs trump already imposed on chinese goods. those have been bet with retaliatory tariffs to hit farmers, manufacturers, the groups that are theoretically close to president trump. now, these goods that would be subject to tariffs are things that many americans use, televisions, furniture, even food seasonings. this could escalate a trade warheading into the talks with china and the peace process. >>@the president says he knows why his numbers are low, and he says it's bob mueller and the russian investigation. tell us about it. >> president trump is not a big fan of the mueller investigation frequently blaming the investigation for getting in the way of what he wants to do.

another tweet storm went out last night, while my poll numbers are be good. if it current for the rigged russian witch hunt, they would be higher. the 2017 democrats are using this to hurt in the midterms. no collusion. president trump has not weighed in directly on the guilty plea, but the investigation led manafort to be found guilty on eight other criminal charms. and president trump claims the mueller investigation is pulling down his poll numbers even though we have the latest numbers. and we have a washington

examiner's insight here. i want to take a look at the cnn poll numbers that were conducted september 6 to 9. so very recent here. we first of all have robert mueller's favorable rating at 36%. and then we have cnn's opinion of trump/mueller is 36% favor, 28% unfavorable. when you look at the numbers, they are of the same favorability as those who were polled. what do you make of the president's race? >> well, it is possible with president trump -- these numbers

will affect him even more so than robert mule ear es investigation -- robert mueller's investigation. the investigation has been loom and gloom with respect to -- he hasn't found it yet. and one thing you have to look at is whether trump fires him after the midterm elections because that may be the one time that he does that. >> the woodward book is a joke, just another assault against me. now using disproven and anonymous sources. many have come forward to this.

and woodward tweeted this, mueller can look end elsely. the old criminal means is to stop and remove president trump. so giuliani, if you think woodward would say, he says there's no evidence, are we supposed to believe woodward or not? >> well, the administration loves to have issues many ways. so it's not a surprise to hear that they contradict each other. and we believe woodward. i think the reason we have had an source and other books, a

lolot of the books are not being cherry-picked to be used for these kind of services. >> i want to go back to this a minute, saraj. the u.s. has a $233.5 with china. that's up 8% compared to the same period last year. when peoplecy that and think, is it possible to balance this? >> the tariffs don't usually address that. and to channel that, with steve

mnuchin carrying this football right now, you know, dangling 200 billion of tariffs on china may be the only way to get them to the table. if he ends up implementing $200 billion in sanctions, you can look at the full-on trade war because china is just going to retaliate back. i don't think there's really a better way of approaching it. because donald trump's view of what this should be is smokestacks. it's not the wave of fututhe fu,

but trump is trying to placate both sides of the argument that trade wars and tariffs don't work. >> julian, there are people who say, talks about this haven't -- simply look at the long-term, historically the trade wars have a bad effect. really bad effect. so there's a lot of evidence because this is not -- >> we'll have more coming up on "state of the union with jake tapper" coming up at 9:00 a.m.
