good evening. chris cuomo is off tonight. topping the special hour of 360, hurricane dorian stalled over the bahamas. still doing enormous damage to a chain of islands and no hope of anyone getting out or finding higher ground. at least five are dead on the a abackos islands. >> you can obviously outwalk this, it's stationary. i think another 12 hours, anderson. on saturday the european model had the system move in near shreveport and will continue into tuesday morning. there's no reason to believe it's going to leave the area. it's been wobbling.

freeport has been out of the eye walls. and the wind gusts are 165. i know that doesn't sound like much. it was over 200. but i think we need to start preparing ourselves for the images we're going to see out of this. the devastation. i know there's five fatalities, but that number is going to go up. the u.s. coast guard has landed where it made landfall. but that eye is mean and nasty and it continues just to pummel this area most likely changing the coastline of the grand bahama islands. look, it also went well to the north because it's been trying to calculate these currents. high pressure which was over the north of it, pushing it toward florida has moved away. but this is what we've been waiting for. change in the color palette here, if we broaden out, you're going to see a short-wave

trough. that is a trough that's moving across the tennessee valley and we expect for the most part, these winds will help create a lift and that's what we've been waiting on. >> it's awesome that the u.s. coast guard has been able to get to abaco island. they saw the helicopters landing near the hospital and they have been able to take out some injured people, some people who are pregnant. they do such amazing work in hurricanes like they did in harvey and the same in katrina. florida is feeling the affects of some of the outer bands. any sense of when the florida coast is going to see the worst of it, even if it doesn't make a direct hit? >> well, right now the center is about a hundred miles away. as we get into wednesday morning, the closest approach could be 35 miles, around cape canaveral.

those winds, even though it's 35 miles from the coast, we could have a landfall into the carolinas, that will be the next concern. the hurricane winds go outward 45 miles. even if it's 35, 45 are going to feel the effects. the tropical storm-force winds are out 140, 150. so that's going to be enough to cause some problems. but i just want to tell you, i know that you covered supertyphoon, this storm is stronger than that. you know what it looked like when -- yes, 6,000 people died over that. but we're looking at a slihrinkg area of hurricane-force winds. this area was wider, it's shrinking somewhat. but everywhere in this orange and yellow could still see some power outages. i wouldn't be surprised -- there's a tornado for half of the state. if you think the men and women of the national hurricane center have been busy,'s

there's one off the coast of africa, but that's still over a week away. just a crazy storm. >> thank you very much. we'll check in with you as needed. wherever the storm goes next, this is already the worst hurricane they have ever seen in the bahamas. five confirmed dead. unfortunately that number likely to grow. the confirmed fatalities were all on the abaco islands. sharon has an apartment there. i spoke to her by phone just a short time ago. >> how are you and those around you doing right now? >> caller: i think everyone here is pretty much in shock. it's utter destruction everywhere we look. everyone is happy that we're aive, but it's just -- you know, the aftermath, it's awful. >> have you been riding this out in your home? >> caller: yes. when it started, my friend and i

decided to stay and she decided to stay with me. we rode it out in our home. last night we started to take on a bit of water. so we were a bit panicked but not so much until this morning when we kind of woke up in about 10 inches of sewer water. >> i'm watching the video that you shot. is that you going out during the eye? >> caller: no, that is the aftermath, actually. during the eye, we stayed inside the house even though it was really calm. we were pretty much stuck in because we had about four inches of water on the outside -- four feet of water on the outside and we weren't able to get the door open. we stayed inside for the most part. >> what kind of damage have you seen? >> caller: houses are completely

destroyed. we have a lot of fatalities. unfortunately, my neighbor passed away as well throughout the storm. it's scary. >> did you actually -- have you seen your neighbor? have they been able to take your neighbor and bring her to a facility? >> caller: i am not 100% certain when we came across our neighbor's house, they told us that they passed away. but we're not certain if anybody came to rescue or take the bodies from the home. the home isn't there anymore. we don't know. >> have you seen rescue personnel, equipment, are there police around? >> caller: we have a lot of

persons that live in the bahamas that are actually on the streets now with their tractors and trucks. my friend and i actually got rescued this morning because we were taking on a whole lot of water. they heard us in the window and a guy and his friend who's house we're staying at now, they had to come through the window to get out of drowning, pretty much. >> and i heard that -- that you said that bodies across the way are floating. have you actually seen people -- >> caller: i haven't personally, but my -- the person that we're with and my neighbor said they have seen them. we have not gone that far. it's too scary. >> but your neighbor has seen people who have died floating in the water. >> caller: yes, correct.

>> what happens now? what is the plan? >> caller: honestly, i can't say. we can only hope for the best. hopefully we have someone that's coming to assist with the aftermath, just to, you know, be able to live civilly for a second. but we have hardly any communication with the outside. so we don't really know what's going on. services have been down for quite a while. so we can't say what's happening after this -- what's even happening now except for what's around us. >> how are your supplies in terms of water, food? >> caller: it's low. but we kind of did the best that we can. with my neighbor, he has a few kids here as well, and a few pets, so we're trying to make good of the provisions that we have and the provisions that we

pooled together thus far. >> is there any message you want to send to people who are watching this, what you need, what the island needs? >> caller: i would just wish and ask whoever is watching this, if they're able to assist with anything, the smallest thing, just to help abaco reboot itself back, we're an island that's sustainable but i think after this devastation it's going to be a lot of help that we'll need around the world and, you know, just to help us bounce back to civilization. >> sharon, i understand that there are u.s. coast guard helicopters around. have you seen those? >> caller: yes, we have seen them. we are seeing a few -- we've seen a few coast guards that

landed and we witnessed them i think putting persons in there. for the most part, i think they are taking out the injured persons. we have no information on why they're here or what persons they're taking out. but we have seen that. and they're still circling around as well. >> sharon, i wish you strength and be careful in the days ahead and we'll keep in touch with you. >> thank you so much. take care. >> thank you, sharon. as we said, freeport is getting hit. we talked with patrick oppmann. he's now moved inside. i want to check in with him. i know you've been in the thick of it for hours now. what's it like? >> reporter: you know, it comes and it goes. there's this eerie stillness. right now you can hear our generator, that's the only reason we have power. one of the few that have power tonight here on this island. it's a sea of darkness.

the winds died down but it's not going to last anderson. just last few hours, we had some of the worst winds we've had in nearly 24 hours of this storm coming in and you just wonder what it's going to be like for the people tonight who are riding this out in their homes. they're in the dark. they don't have communications, and it is going to be a long, unimaginable night for the hundreds, if not thousands, of people who are stuck in their homes. >> with water coming in like this, in the dark, it's really just terrifying. how -- are there shelters for people to go to? >> there are, and actually, i'm going to bring in sarah, thank you for joining us. >> you're welcome. >> you've had a tough day. an hour ago you were soaking wet. i think you were carrying a dog. you lost your home tonight. tell me about that. >> i did. it was about 5:30. we just looked at the phone when

i was showing you the pictures. we live in a hallow and i kind of thought we were going to be okay. it's normally gotten pretty high but not that high. the roof was fine, but when the water started to come in, it surged and it went really fast and luckily, we all had bags ready to go. my friend was really fabulous. she was like, no, we're doing. and we either have to make that decision or get up on the roof. we didn't have an ax. i have a -- >> you thought about chopping a hole in the roof to get out? >> we were with some older people, we didn't know. we thought the cars probably wouldn't start. we had them close to the house, probably should have put them up ton hill. we managed to get into my car because i had reserved it in. we got in the back trunk, shoved everybody over -- >> how high was the water? >> we couldn't open the doors. we were probably to our hips. but luckily the back was up a

little bit. and then we kind of just shoved everybody in. the car wouldn't start, so i said let's push it. we took the brake off, started pushing it and i live in a cul-de-sac. we pushed it out and went to the road. by that point, i wanted to get the dogs. my housekeeper and her boyfriend, the housekeeper drove the car, we had my mom who's 80, her best friend who's 75, and victoria, they stayed in the car with the two dogs. we went back and got two that swam back out to the car and we made it to the road and we had help come and get us. they went back and got the other two dogs. unfortunately we left some cats behind. we're all struggling a little bit with that. we hope the cats are pretty good about staying up. we're hoping they climbed into the attic space. >> this is a part of life for bahamians. how many people are like you

were tonight watching the water come up and realizing that this is not the typical hurricane that you had to deal with. this is something that no one has had to deal with. a powerful category four, five storm that's parked itself over this island. >> been through francis, jean, andrew, matthew. and we've always survived. we'll always made it through. we've had some dangerous points. there's been a lot of things that they've changed about the island. there has been flooding that we weren't used to before. everybody has generators. we were prepared because we saw what was happening in abaco. i had a lot of friends who i went to college with and high school, they're calling me, and i'm like, we can't go. and you want to protect your home at the same time and you kind of think you're going to be okay and you've done this before because i'll be honest, this is

usually the okay part. it's the after that you have to be able to cope with more. >> i know you're going through a lot tonight. i want to say i'm so sorry. you lost so much. you're not alone. and we're going to be hearing more stories in the days to come, anderson, of people who have lost everything. thank god, you're alive. because i know other people haven't been as lucky. weren't able to get out of their homes. back to you, anderson. >> thank you so much. and please thank sarah for us. it's unbelievable what so many people right now are going through. also in freeport, sam joins us now. he runs a business on the island focused on saving coral reefs. the parts of downtown freeport are under water. what are conditions like where you are? >> thank you for sharing this story. we are unfortunately on the south side of freeport.

two stories, concrete, hurricane windows. we have a few friends sheltering with us, a few windows. my friend and colleague joe is here as well. we're waiting until 11:00 because that's when high tide is supposed to come. that's going to be a key moment. at this point we definitely have been some of the luckier people in grand bahama. we've had some pretty strong winds but haven't been dealing with things like sarah, who's a friend of ours. we've been seeing videos of people fleeing into attics, people going onto rooftops. jet skis being deployed to try to get people out. we're in a good spot but feeling for a lot of people on this island. >> some of the video that we're seeing right now, i'm not sure if it was -- >> that's my front yard. >> we're looking at sea water, but it's an area flooding.

it looks like the sea is basically just now on the land in some places. >> in some places, yeah. we happen to be -- the storm passing to the north, the south side hasn't been hit as hard. but downtown freeport, you got buildings. i think that's the police headquarters right there. that's the main downtown area of freeport. lots of people have evacuated. the power engineer, he had to evacuate his building. we were talking with him. we're watching the cancel right now. thus far, it hasn't come up to us. but where our coral farm is, it's on a different canal system, there were reports of a 20-foot storm surge. we can only guess what that situation is like. >> obviously, the immediate concern is people, saving lives, covering those who haven't made it. longer term and one of the things you focus on is the coral

reefs. the reefs are in trouble as it is. what does a storm like this do to the coral reefs? >> yeah, the immediate priority is helping the people of the bahamas. we're helping organize a relief fund. we're going to need supplies, medicine, aid, diapers, waters, boats, helicopters, anything, you name it. but we're here with -- we started a coral farm that grows corals to restore dying reefs. it's outrageous that we have to say that where half of the world's reefs are dead. and that's without things like storms or -- from hurricanes ripping through them. my friend, joe, i don't know if you can see him, this is joe, we're by candle light here. >> i'm hiding in the back.

>> this is his sixth hurricane. hasn't been through anything like this before. the reefs are going to be decimated and putting aside the ecological strategy, in a situation like this, a healthy coral reef produces wave energy at 97%. we're talking about saving people's lives by having a healthy ecosystem, food, and jobs that are going to be essential. we're going to be helping rebuild these coral reefs. we're also hopefully going to be seeing a lot of people around the world looking at this moment in a clear present danger of things like climate change. you can't directly link climate change to this storm, but when you have warmer oceans, it causes warmer storms. that's from fourth grade science. and this is the type of thing where we're going to see more intense storms. and we need our leaders to

reduce greenhouse gasses to stem the flow of climate change, adopting things like the green new deal. but what matters most is we're going to need to figure out how to protect these ecosystems that provide food, clothes and shelter. earth is a living being and ultimately it takes care of us. and we need to start taking care of the earth and we're going to suffer the consequences. >> same as the wetlands in louisiana that -- >> exactly. >> that were -- are being decimated as well. sam, i appreciate what you do long term and i'm sorry for what you're going through right now and, you know, we'll hope -- hope we get help to all of those in need right now because lives are being lost. sam, appreciate it. take care. we're going to look at the storm preparation in florida next as well as something pretty surprising that president trump said about this and other hurricanes. later the death toll rising while the search for survivors

we're going to show you the waves from the storm surge. this is the saint lucy river. take a look at this, they're really starting to get rough here and starting to spray us a little bit. you see a little bit of flooding manifesting itself kind of coming over the sea wall, the walkways here, this was not evident earlier today. it's not that drastic right now, but this is one of the things that officials here are worried about. the storm surge, maybe four to seven feet above normal, flooding these low-lying areas. there are a lot of homes around here. they're in danger of flooding and this is -- what's interesting here, this is a confluence of three major bodies of water. three large bodies of water kind of converging here in this one spot, all of which are affected by the storm surge that was building up in the bahamas.

you have also got barrier islands behind me. hutchinson island and jupiter island. about 30,000 people total live on those islands. not all of them have evacuated. it's getting to be pretty much too late in the process for them to evacuate. the bridges are going to be closed. once that happens, they're not going to be able to get to these people during and after the storm maybe for a couple of days. and hutchinson island, they have cut off the water. the people who have stayed there are not only going to be maybe isolated and cut off for a couple of days, they've got no running water. that's a calculation that they had to make. hopefully a lot of them have filled their bathtubs with water, that's what they tell you to do in these situations, but you can see the surge here, getting intense now in the later evening hours and it's going to be like this probably for at least the next 12 hours. >> brian todd, stay safe. i have to go to port saint lucy where the mayor is overseeing preparations.

thank you so much for being with us. what are conditions like in port st. lucy right now? >> we're not quite yet up to tropical-storm-force winds, anderson, just below. and we're having the lines come up. but we're not to the think of it yet. this has been a long event. this will be going on all the way through tomorrow afternoon. >> yeah, it's a long event. it's a confusing event, obviously, you know, with forecasts changing the path of the storm. a lot of different models for it. do you have any better sense of what to expect? i know the storm tracks have been hard to pin down? >> they have. and we've been just like you we've been watching the storm is on radar with such a clear signal. we're just watching it frame by frame and it's just spinning there, just lashing the bahamas. and i got to tell you, anderson, watching and listening to the

feed as i waited to speak with you and hearing the human tragedy continue to unfold in the bahamas, that really is the real story. and i just want to use this opportunity to say we're very mindful of what's going on in the bahamas and we're incredibly sorry to see our friends suffering. >> yeah. >> and once the danger has passed us, and if we're fortunate enough to remain unscathed, i'm going to call upon our community to reach out to our friends to the east. it should be easy for us to emphasize because for the better part of the last week, we also thought we would be a direct landfall. it's the perfect time to practice the golden rule. >> yeah. in past storms, has it been flooding or wind that typically causes the most damage in your area or both? >> anderson, i think that we might have even spoken during

irma. and every storm is unique. you have wet storms, you have wind storms, you have fast movers. you have slow supersoakers. but what is happening to the bahamas, you know, i'm a native floridian, i'm 44, i personally haven't seen anything like what's happening in the bahamas right now and we should all wish for dorian to move north as quickly as possible and die at sea. >> yeah. the idea of a cat four, cat five storm sitting on an island like the bahamas, you know, 30 feet is the highest point on the island -- in the bahamas, that's an extraordinary thing. i don't know that i've heard of that -- a storm this size sitting on an island like that. >> no, and we kind of share

topography and it should be really easy for us to put ourselves in their shoes and be there for them in their time of need and you made the point about the track and it's true. last night, i don't know who slept in port st. lucy because dorian was a hundred miles away, it was still moving west at five miles per hour and you felt like a loaded gun was pointed at you because if i didn't follow the track, if i didn't follow the imaginary line drawn on a map, it would be here in, you know -- in less than 30 hours and the effects would be there much sooner. so, you know, we've been watching it unfold since then and it's certainly something that you and i probably haven't seen in our lifetime personally. >> you know better than anybody. but i've been to plenty of storms where you think it's going to hit one place and, you know, in the news business, you go there, and at the last

second, it changes direction. and that's, you know -- it reeks havoc in another community. and that's one of the horrible things about these storm. and for you to prepare for it and get people to evacuate and not be able to say 100% it's going to hit here, it's a difficult thing. i appreciate all that you're doing. thanks for being with us. >> thank you. dorian has shown its fury and i'm going to show you the president's reaction, next. ♪ applebee's handcrafted burgers now starting at $7.99. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood thanks to priceline working with top airlines to turn their unsold seats into amazing deals, family reunion attendance is up.

as millions along the east coast brace for hurricane dorian, they know it's already reached category five strength at least once. now enter president trump. >> i'm not sure that i've heard of a category five. i knew it existed and i've seen some category fours. but the category five is something that i don't know that i've ever even heard the term.

that's what we have unfortunately. >> okay. so what makes what you just heard even more confusing or weirder is multiple category five hurricanes have either hit or threatened to hit the united states during his presidency. >> reporter: in october 2018, hurricane michael hit florida as a category five storm with winds of 160 miles per hour. >> we have just now flown over mexican beach and it's gone. it's gone. >> reporter: the winds and storm surge left massive damage along the panhandle. >> when you think about it, you know, all of these -- all of their lives are gone here. how do you -- what do you do? >> reporter: 16 people were killed in the storm and $25 billion worth of damage. in 2017 two category five storms

formed in the atlantic. hurricane irma lasted from august 31st until september 11th, stretching for 650 miles, devastating a string of caribbean islands. 95% of buildings were damaged and intense flooding affected islands all across the area. irma hit southwest florida on september 10th, moving slowly inland. >> high tide hasn't occurred yet and this water is still filling in this area. we've seen submerged vehicles. we've had dumpsters floating by us. we've had all kinds of debris and frankly it's getting a little bit difficult to stand up in these conditions. >> reporter: that same month, hurricane maria devastated dominica before moving onto puerto rico. it caused the worst blackout in

u.s. history, leaving residents without electricity, food and drinking water for weeks after the storm. >> there's a lot of frustration saying they've been sitting around wanting to get out, but there's a lack of organization. it's the disorganization that's frustrating them. >> reporter: the slow federal response left people suffering for months and the puerto rican government released a death toll of more than 2,900 residents. perhaps the most similar in scope to dorian is hurricane matthew in 2016. it formed into a category five in september but then moved very slowly, heading up the u.s. coast, paralleling the coast. it made landfall as a category one storm but caused devastating flooding and massive damage all along the coast. and also was responsible for 45 deaths in the u.s. gary tuckman,

the boat? did any passengers make it off the boat? >> reporter: so far, no passengers have been found alive. what we do know now, some sad news this afternoon, we heard that they had recovered four bodies, those four bodies had been taken to a building, they've also found four more bodies. but they've been unable to be recovered because they're on the ocean floor. that leaves 26 souls still unaccounted for. we haven't heard directly from those who survived, but we heard from someone on a boat named the great escape who actually helped rescue some of those folks that were able to jump off, those five crew members. they said that they heard banging on their boat. this happened between 3:00 and 3:30 in the morning. they were out there, the great

escape was going through the channel there and heard some banging according to the two people on that boat and were able to help rescue some of those folks. and they said one of the things that struck them was that this fire seemed to happen so quickly and got so ferocious so fast there didn't seem time to try to save those who were sleeping in the lower part of the boat. anderson? >> thank you. a lot to learn on this still. one of those wounded in the mass shooting in texas over the weekend, a 17-month-old girl. that's her on the left. we'll let you know about her condition, where she is tonight and what comes next. ♪ goin' down the only road i've ever known ♪ ♪ like a drifter i was-- ♪ born to walk alone! ...barb! you left me hangin' on the high harmony there.
