in. >> we are waiting, every advisory from the national hurricane center, the next one comes out at 8:00 am. they will give us the strength of the storm, positioning of the storm and the track of where we it will go, category 2 storm, here is the information, upon landfall, a category 3, a major hurricane and says you mentioned the us has not been hit by a major hurricane in 12 years, since wilma in 2005 so we are concerned for our friends around the corpus christi area, north of that and south of that, storm surge is going to be high, anywhere from 10 to 12 feet above dryland as well as the potential for flooding and the flooding is going to last through next weekend that will be the legacy of the storm. we are focused on the fact we have a hurricane but the storm

is going to linger and bring perhaps epic rainfall, rainfall we have never seen before from a tropical system. hurricane warnings up, tropical storm warnings toward the galveston area. winds in excess of 100 mph for a duration of hours and the reason we have seen rapid intensification from a tropical storm to hurricane and perhaps to a major hurricane is because there is nothing in its way. the water is like bath water in the gulf of mexico and what these storms need to fuel themselves as they get stronger is the warm temperatures of the gulf of mexico and the upper-level winds in the atmosphere are helping this storm to breeze. the tropical models are in consensus, it is going to make landfall whether it is a 2 or three doesn't matter. the legacy is going to be the flooding because watch what happens to these computer models, making landfall and then we are not sure where it goes

because there is no steering. it is going to remain perhaps offshore and to bring incredible amounts of rain to areas that just can't take the rainfall so here is the euro models, one of our forecast models we look at, 41 inches of rainfall. that is unprecedented along the coast and that is why right now our prayers are needed for our friends in texas, not only the fact we have a hurricane but the system is going to last well into next week and be a torrential rainmaker. >> did i hear someone say this is the anniversary to the week of katrina? >> university of andrew, category 5 hurricane, one of only three that is ever hit the us. yesterday was the 25th anniversary. >> people need to listen.

>> is hurricane harvey moves closer to the gulf coast, the time to prepare is right now, texas and louisiana under states of emergency bracing for the strongest hurricane to slam the us in a decade. >> those staying in place are not taking any chances, they are filling sandbags, stocking up on water, boarding up windows. hours until the monster storm is expected to make landfall. >> water, fruit for my little boys to eat, just trying to be prepared. >> just have to wait and see what happens, we are prepared and do what we have to do. >> governor of texas activated 700 members of the texas air national guard and texas state guard and we expect a live report from rob schmidt in galveston in the next hour. >> the white house urging those in harvey's crosshairs to be prepared as the storm churns toward the coast. >> donald trump reaching out to texas and louisiana pledging full support as they prepare for

the worst. >> we have the breaking details. >> the message out of the white house ahead of this is be prepared. the president spoke with governors of texas and louisiana pledging resources of the federal government in preparing and recovering from harvey. the governor of texas tweeting about the cost spoke with donald trump and the heads of homeland security, helping texas to respond. governor john bell edwards of louisiana tweeting about this, saying the president offered his full support to the people of louisiana as they prepare for harvey, donald trump urging residents to prepare saying remember to plan ahead, he listed the website of the crucial websites in case you are in that area, accompanied by this video of the president meeting with fema officials at the national response center. this will be the president's first test handling a major

storm response. white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders says the president is up-to-date on the latest briefing and has no better advisor than homeland security secretary and chief of staff general john kelly to keep him informed. >> we are in great shape having general kelly sitting next to the president throughout the process and a better chief of staff of the president during hurricane season. >> reporter: the president heads to camp david with the first lady where he will monitor developments to hear from janice dean perhaps next week's response will be most crucial. heather: up to 45 inches of rain in some places. heather: stay for live continuing coverage of hurricane harvey. rob: there's other news, white house official doubling down on the trump government shutdown

threat, sarah huckabee sanders says it is time to go to work, she was on the story and had this to say when discussing this issue. >> it is congress's jobs allegedly, the president's job to lead. he is doing his part, congress has to do there's. we have an aggressive fall agenda we have got to focus on and we will need the senate and house to come together to get something done. they had a free pass for the last eight years prior to the president coming into office and haven't been able to do things. maybe that has been frustrating and haven't figured out how to move the ball forward but we have a republican president with pen in hand that wants to be very aggressive, particularly when it comes to taxes, infrastructure, healthcare, securing the border, rebuilding the military, these are big things the president is focused on, he will need congress to get it together so we can get some

stuff accomplished. heather: september a busy month. rob: taxes, healthcare, national security, when you go to these, i was just in kentucky and people don't talk about monuments or statues, they talk about those issues sarah huckabee sanders mentioned. heather: we would like to hear more. sarah huckabee sanders will be live on "fox and friends" at 7:30 a.m. this morning, lots of questions for her. in the meantime, they found the bodies of two sailors killed when the uss john mccain crashed into an oil tanker, identified as 22-year-old kenneth smith and 26-year-old dustin dorian, electronics technicians. eight remain missing, more divers and agreement overnight

its allies. rob: promising additional troops to train afghan forces and increase air support. new details revealing intensity of the fbi raid on former trump campaign chairman paul manaforte's home. a dozen federal agents stormed the condo before sunrise and that search lasted ten hours. sources describe the raid as heavy-handed and designed to intimidate. the senate judiciary committee voluntarily provided documents. heather: a fire dishwasher takes a hostage and killed a coworker before being shot by police in charleston, south carolina. the gunman walked into virginia's restaurants, locked the door and said, quote, there is a new boss in town. his standoff with police lasted three hours. the gunman whose name police are not releasing is in critical condition. his victim was the restaurant's executive chef.

rob: and anesthetic never used before, marcus was convicted in 1987 for two racially motivated murders, received an injection that began with the anesthetic. his last meal, porkchops and french fries, he did not make a statement but earlier this week said he was ready to die. heather: let's talk about the powerball. the winner of the $758 million powerball has been revealed, 53-year-old in massachusetts, pulling the lucky ticket at a convenience store outside boston. rob: the largest single ticket prize in north american history. >> i pulled mine out. i have that, i have that, you

in the case of robert lee on espn, they took the announcer off because of his name, making an assumption that because we put this cute baby on a tweet, that is white supremacy. where is this going to end? >> these groups have been culpable in creating online mobs and people who engage in rage spirals every time they are confronted with something with which they disagree and now they can't control these people anymore, they can't control it. rob: hurricane harvey moving closer to the gulf coast. heather: in galveston, texas, some last-minute evacuations. >> reporter: sorry it was so hard to get to you. we don't see much in hurricanes, we have lightning in the area so we had to move everything over here to get some shelter so we

are not gapped by a bolt of lightning. in galveston, to the south southeast in houston, texas, the real story in galveston is flooding. the initial story is 50 miles south of here where we are headed later today when the storm is closer to making landfall in the corpus christi area, that is the initial landfall, a category 3 storm. we are talking sustained windss of 120 miles an hour or so. that is a serious storm and a huge departure from what we were expecting just 24 hours ago when we were just expecting a lot of rain and not too much wind. now it is a heavy series hurricane that could do a lot of damage. this will be the first major hurricane since hurricane ike, mandatory evacuations for the south of galveston. mandatory evacuations between the gulf where the water line is

through the intracoastal waterway. and houston galveston area, a little further to the north on the dirty side of the hurricane, the right side of the hurricane, they expect it could be three feet of rain, incredible amounts of rain. in the houston area, going to a walmart which we saw people pouring in, the bread was gone, potato chips were gone. here is a mom getting ready for this hurricane buying everything she can. >> water, canned goods, just trying to be prepared. >> we will wait and see what happens, we are prepared and do what we have to do. >> reporter: other places could be affected, louisiana after it's been off in texas it could head that way. it has been 12 years since the 2005 atlantic hurricane that

and doctor, the basic question, what happened to his first amendment rights? >> that is a great question but what happened is the ninth circuit court of appeals perverted their original intent of the first amendment, the establishment clause of the first amendment says congress cannot establish a state church in which people are coerced to worship. it has nothing to say about prohibiting a voluntary prayer at a football game. what the first amendment does promise is coach kennedy and all americans have the free exercise of religion. that doesn't just refer to what we do from 11:00 to 12:00 sunday mornings but exercising our faith in every area of our lives. what i want to know is where is the aclu in this? why aren't they jumping up and down and screaming to protect coach kennedy's rights? the answer is the aclu like all liberals are nothing but

hypocrites who are only interested in protecting the rights of americans with whom they agree. rob: i want to play more from the coach on the story, take a listen. >> even before i accepted the coaching job, i am just going to give you the glory on the 50 yard line and i don't know where i got it. the seattle seahawks and other football teams doing it, that is where we fought the battle so i will give thanks and what i just did. rob: is and is one of the reasons donald trump won, promising that he is going to get back to religious rights? >> absolutely. people have to ask a question, why is it public expressions of faith like coach kennedy's were not only allowed but encouraged for the first 170 years of our country's history but 70 years ago suddenly they became

unconstitutional? to the constitution change? of course not. what happened is we allowed judicial activists to hijack the first amendment and that is why it is so important donald trump was elected because he promised to nominate jurists and judges who will interpret the law according to what the constitution actually says and not according to what liberals wish it said. i talked to the president about this case and other cases like it and he is absolutely determined to continue to nominate conservative judges and justices. rob: judge neil gorsuch obviously one of them. having practiced myself in california in the ninth circuit i can tell you the ninth circuit law and the rest of the country, you have to look at that and it is different in almost every single instance. thank you for being here. heather: the time is 30 minutes

after the top of the hour. get out of dodge is the message for millions in texas as hurricane harvey gains strength. we are live on the ground where that storm is about to hit. live team coverage continues. it's date night and... ugh... nothing fits. you're just bloated from gas. i can see it and i know you feel it. take gas-x®, the #1 gas relief brand. it relieves pressure and bloating fast! so you can wear whatever you want.

heather: hurricane harvey gaining strength overnight, expected to slam the state of texas and louisiana. >> state of emergency and mandatory evacuations for what could be the strongest hurricane to hit the us in 12 years. heather: millions of americans under threat of catastrophic flooding and winds of 100 mph. rob: rob schmidt in galveston, texas and the president's message. heather: we begin with janice dean in the weather center

tracking the latest. not a lot of time for preparations. >> if you live across texas, the storm will linger into the weekend into next week in a category 2 storm, 10020 mile sustained winds, new update from the national hurricane center of a strengthening storm which makes it even more dangerous as it makes landfall over night into saturday. we have not had a major hurricane hit the us in 12 years. here is the radar. we can see the outer band moving where rob schmidt is across galveston where we think the storm will make landfall in the next 12 to 18 hours and a big legacy from this storm not only the fact it could be a major hurricane but it is going to linger through the weekend into next week. the fact that it is a hurricane is a big story but more importantly we will see unprecedented rainfall across coastal texas, louisiana and inland as well. this is wednesday and this storm

is still hanging out. if the center remains offshore in the warm waters of the gulf of mexico there is no reason it can't re-intensify. that is the concern. forecast rainfall, we could get upwards of 3 feet of rain locally widespread, two feet of rain, they can't handle this amount of water off texas. that is the main concern. when it comes to hurricanes the number one cause of death is flooding so people are urged to take precautions, if asked to evacuate you need to do so. the steering mechanisms when we see landfalling storms we see a cold front pick it up and move it northward but the problem is it is fighting the sweeter areas of high pressure and that is why the storm will be stuck for days on the coastline of texas and louisiana bringing unprecedented rainfall and life-threatening

flooding. heather: strong words, catastrophic, unprecedented, life-threatening. as hurricane harvey builds up steam, the time to prepare is running out. rob: rob schmidt picked up coverage from galveston, texas. >> reporter: last night driving into galveston, you feel like we are the only ones coming and everyone else is going out, sign saying hurricane in golf, be prepared, load up on gas, be ready because of what this could end up being. the big story is an inundation of rain, two or three feet of rain, imagine how much water that is what everyone is get of the wind, 130 mile an hour winds, people worry about the house being blown away but the water is what kills people in storms. doesn't sound like the most serious part of us all with 130 mile-per-hour wind gusts but it

can be. you can see the lightning in the background, it is very windy with a lot of gusts coming in. we are decent clip away from the storm. the surf in the gulf is up high. 75 miles is where the storm will make landfall in the corpus christi area unless it decides to do what andrew did in the early 90s and make a quick turn one way or the other but right now it will come into corpus christi and be a serious storm, category 3 storm so it has intensified quite a bit in the last couple days, people making preparations. we are not under mandatory evacuation in galveston, it is a voluntary evacuation at this point. that could change today but to the south where the eye is supposed to make landfall there is a mandatory evacuation from the gulf to the intracoastal waterway. we talked to a politician from a

town by corpus christi. let's listen. >> we are focusing, regardless of the storm abstract, we will have coastal flooding. >> gas in the vehicles, always ready. >> the other state that has to keep an eye on the storm is louisiana which is 12 years out from katrina which devastated new orleans. this storm could reintensify and enter that area mid to late next week, we have to wait and see what happens but nothing is pushing or pulling on the storm so it will waiver for a little bit, anybody's guess which way it goes. heather: louisiana knows the danger of flooding. rob: the white house urging those in the crosshairs to be prepared. heather: donald trump reaching

out to texas and louisiana pledging full support as they prepare for the worst. rob: the breaking news. >> reporter: this is the president's first test handling a major storm response and sending the message to be prepared. it comes as the head of homeland security in an interim position in the head of fema overseas just a few months on the job. white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders said the president is up-to-date on the latest briefing it has no better advisor by his side can john kelly to keep him informed. >> we are in great shape having general kelly sitting next to the president throughout this process and no better chief of staff for the president during hurricane season. >> reporter: the president spoke with the governors of texas and louisiana pledging full support and resources of the federal government. governor greg abbott of texas

spoke with donald trump and head of homeland security, helping texas to respond to hurricane harvey. governor john bell edwards of louisiana tweeting the president offered full support to the people of louisiana as we prepare for harvey, donald trump urging residents on the gulf coast to prepare tweeting as hurricane harvey intensifies remember to plan ahead. he listed the websites that will be crucial to those votes accompanied by video of the president meeting with fema officials at the national response center. the president heads to camp david this afternoon where he will monitor developments over the weekend, no doubt lessons learned from president bush's response to katrina. heather: need backup batteries for your cell phones. powerful situation. rob: senator bob menendez's corruption trial next month, chris christie will have the power to appoint a replacement.

it could be his ticket to dc. >> reporter: chris christie is not sitting on the beach. he is probably salivating, hoping senator menendez gets convicted because it gives the opportunity for chris christie to appoint maybe himself or a republican senator. >> reporter: the trial will not be put on hold to allow menendez to return to cast votes. connection is convicted would not kick him out of office but he can voluntarily resign or get expelled by two thirds majority vote in the senate. heather: a breakthrough in the search for natalie holloway, human remains discovered in aruba where she vanished 12 years ago of eastern european descent, that matches her family heritage. final tests are expected in coming weeks. the 18-year-old from alabama was
