storm. 120 miles per hour sustained winds and gusts. the pressure is still low. this is a strong storm. it's been a major hurricane now for a week, which is unprecedented. unprecedented category 3 or higher which is what we categorize a major hurricane. this is making its closest wrush to florida that it has in florida. 25 miles east of cape canaveral. if it were to make land fall that is historic. it makes a close hug of north carolina. don't focus on this. the nuances of the storm are something we can't forecast. bobbles for the east and to the west that's something that is

hard to forecast. as we go gur they are vulnerable beaches in the carolinas. storm surge and flooding will be an issue. the days of hurricane force winds that could potentially effect the coastline then perhaps make a recurve. that's five days out. right now 120 mile per hour sustained winds is literally offshore off cape canaveral ladies. i am seeing hurricane force winds of over 80 miles per hour along the coastline. again the storm surge. that's one of the biggest threats from this. 6 to 11 feet. that would be devastating for northern florida as well as georgia. storm surge, flooding, winds, we are not done with matthew yet. >> i have an aunt in north carolina keeping an eye on it as

not seen the eye come near us yet. that's supposed to happen around 2:00 this afternoon. around 8:00 a.m. we can see the hurricane force winds come in. if this thing turns further to the east it will give us a little bit of a break. >> it is fair to say this is the beginning of the beginning. >> as we look behind this is pretty bad. >> 45 mile an hour winds right now looking at the rain. we have high tide coming. we ask everybody to stay off the streets and hopefully we will keep power here. right now we don't have any power outages. >> janice dean is talking about it's not so much the wind which is the number to talk about but it is the storm surge. we have the delicate dance going on between the storm surge and high winds.

>> you can have 7, 6, 5 feet of water. >> what does that mean for your police officers? you called in 20 hour shifts but what does that kind of danger mean to them? >> you can't get caught in the current. it we will be on lock down. that is where the importance was of evacuating. >> it is 6:00 last night we were seeing people on the beach taking selfies. do you get the sense people heeded yours and the governor's admonitions? >> i think when they saw what was going on in the state rest of the state of florida it was time to hunker down. it is not necessarily the rain coming down it's the storm surge coming in. is that here in the outer line islands and the mainland? >> it is all connected. we won't be able to pump water out of the main lan land to get it out of there. we are going to fold.
