a storm surge in the us states of south carolina and north carolina. earlier at tor, into florida as a hurricane causing large scale destruction authorities are still assessing the extent of the damage in the hardest hit areas in the wake of the storm. the us government has declared a public health emergency in florida of the aftermath of a category 3 hurricane that slammed into the coast with the speed of a fast moving train. authorities had to issue mandatory evacuation orders for low lying areas before floods. turn. florida is coastal roads into rivers and left hundreds of thousands without power over my door. and i see a river outside the water is going down there saying that the high tide is going to come back up. but i don't see you're getting any worse. so i'm here back at my home trying to make the best sound of a worse situation with the road swamped this florida couple found an alternative

way to leave their flooded homes. kayaks, we had to get the truck out and there is no underwater south checking out the neighborhood. the uniform report search crews were deployed to help president stranded in the vast light, the populated area. despite the extensive property damage. florida is governor said the clean up process was off to a good start. yeah, you know, so far all signs have been positive. there is of course, a lot of debris to clean up, but we will get working with that with the local communities to make sure that the roads are cleared and people can go back to their lives, downgraded to tropical storm. after passing through florida. dalia is sweeping through georgia and south carolina. the 2nd full

moon in the month of august is set to light up the skies. scientists call the cause but combination a super blue moon. and wherever you are this last you'll show is likely to be brighter and fuller. than usual, it's the biggest and brightest moon of the year. as a less deal event combining to lunar a phenomena, a super moon and a blooming. a super moon is a full name that appears larger and brighter in the sky. because it's closer to the earth than usual the definition of a blue then doesn't actually have anything to do with the color blue. on like the black moon, the blue moon don't change color. unfortunately it would just look normal for man. um, we call it a blue moon because in this, in this case is the 2nd full moon in august. we have one on the 1st of all the. so

this is the, the 2nd one in the same kind a month. and that's one of the definitions of the blue mean. super moons occur 3 or 4 times a year. whereas a blooming appears in the sky approximately once every 2.7 years. they're not as rare as the phrase once in a blue moon suggests. but a super blue moon that's much more unique to, to, to, to actually, to and so it's that, you know, it's just, it's just a term of, you know, match really and how the moon is going around. um, and on average we get a stupid cleaning once a decades. this celeste deal rarity is visible all over the world. all you have to do is look up at the night sky. well, people in southeastern, in the southeastern united states and then looking up into the sky for the tropical storm and dahlia which has been tearing through the region 1st as a hurricane,

i have your waste of call in the middle of the storm. we started stating the fact of all the clouds wrapping around and almost clear i birds were trapped inside the uh, because it got stopped getting by the storm. a very powerful storm and we have records for hurricane getting back to 1851. so nearly a 175 years of observations. and there's never been in that span a major hurricane category 3 or greater to hit the big ben to florida until the dahlia. okay, briefly matthew, can you tell us where it dahlia is headed now? that has been downgraded to a tropical storm. and how dangerous is it now? yes, if the server is running to the carolinas right now, it's moisture is pulling along the cold front link. very heavy down for it's about 15 to 20 centimeters of rain possible. a few spots also tornadoes as well. we've seen several tornadoes tex down the left or we're changing wins with height, or the spin caused by dahlia is causing individual storm cells to rotate, dropping those tornadoes, and finally pushed off shore. the next 6 and 12 hours. it's influenced,
