2:00 am
and i have never seen this. i come here every week to ride my bike. never seen anything like this. connell: florence marches on waging a relentless assault on the east coast with deadly force, and epic storm packing powerful winds but it is the record rainfall that triggered the massive floods. good to have you with us. i am connell mcshane. jillian: florence once again a category 4 hurricane than a tropical depression. the danger is far from over as
2:01 am
she slowly treks across the carolinas bringing torrential downpour that will linger for days. you can see they are dealing with a mess. the images and numbers are devastating, four people dead, nearly 1 million without power. hundreds of rescue operations, dozens remain trapped at this hour. residents are told to expect the year's worth of rain before this deluge is over. connell: correspondence on the field covering the storm zone, how long this will last. one thing we know is it will take months if not years for victims of florence to recover. jillian: a break in the rain from morehead city, north carolina after two days that dropped two feet of rain on the city. griff jenkins is there. you have been there this morning. you have been showing us the damage. what are you seeing across that
2:02 am
area? >> reporter: a welcome more free from the rain. a few drops coming, much like everyone else that is not good news. there is a lot of wind damage at morehead city where we get you to the videos coming out of new bern yesterday. highway 70, 40 miles north of here, can't get there because of the flooding. there are rescues continuing at this hour. officials tell me they are working on 100 right now. yesterday a total of 375 rescues. they have a new problem and that is what to do with the people being rescued. they are taking them to cherry point because they have run out of places. the flooding continues, storm surge and the noose river causing the problem, down a little bit, receded four to six feet is expected to rise again,
2:03 am
maybe as high as its 9 to 10 foot levels with rain coming. it is up to mother nature to determine what will happen for days and weeks, more rain is not a good thing. the bridge between here and morehead and there is flooded in numerous places. let me show you this gas station on highway 70, absolutely pummeled. it is not like the roof collapsed. look at the steel and metal rods ripped out of the ground. not just this corner at the base of the atlantic beach bridge but every tree along the street ripped out of its roots, entire homes having their roofs ripped off, power lines down everywhere. we haven't seen anyone here except a few police cars, if you power trucks. power remains totally off, across the barrier island. the police chief telling me things are really bad. a lot of flooding, a lot of
2:04 am
structural damage. that. is gone. what they need here is a little help for resources to set up shelters. they themselves have 36 rescue sidestreets flooded and structural damage like this gas station, generators, caught and a lot of other supplies will be needed here. that is the challenge as the rain sets in not just on coastal areas but moving inland. we will try to get to new bern. the absolutely extensive flooding around this area. jillian: i would think you get this little break in the rain and finally feeling like i am getting a break, it is nearing its end but then you remember it have the realization you have so much to go. it has to be devastating for people. >> reporter: that's right. these rains set in, this reprieve will probably end
2:05 am
around 8:00 and we will get some light. that is when the crews, power trucks and others can start to do things. people have trees crushing their houses. i have a family friend here, three houses in beaufort, that area very flooded a few miles from here, not going to get much done in the reprieve we are getting before it comes again. jillian: thank you. connell: we have been hearing for days about this storm. they got it right. they were warning us about the power of florence and how slow-moving it would be. they know all about this, facing and dealing with the wrath of this storm. jonathan joins us from wrightsville beach. it is good to see the hoods off and the hair down.
2:06 am
>> reporter: that's right. hopefully longer than a brief reprieve. we have been seeing rain bands on and off. when the rain lets up it is great to take the hood off because it is hot here. no air-conditioning, the power went out. during the storm, not only that, but the city of brightbill beach turned off the water to protect its public water system from damage. for the few souls who remain on this island, conditions are very primitive. we have to be self-sufficient. the only electricity will have the only water you will have to drink is that which you brought on the island yourself. connell: you mentioned a few souls remained. the authorities did a good job getting the word out that this was going to be a rough place to be and people for the most part he did the warning.
2:07 am
what are the challenges to deal with today once the sun comes up which i believe is under two hours from now? >> reporter: once the sun comes up city officials have been eager to assess the damage and to get power crews in and start working on electricity. they are going to have to, between official authorities and power crews, make sure the roadways are free of debris and downed power lines before they allow residents on the island. residents and business owners are eager to check on their property but authorities are going to keep them on the mainland until they determine it is safe for people to come back on this island. connell: duke energy predicted 3 million people might lose power, north carolina at 777,000 plus, in south carolina nearly 1 million. a lot of work to do as the day
2:08 am
unfolds. enjoy the brief rest and we will keep talking to you. jillian: we are tracking the storm from the severe weather center. you have been bombarded with messages from yours truly. i asked you a couple minutes ago if you got the latest 5:00 am update. >> it is holding strong as a tropical storm. we continue to see the center fall apart a little bit and wind speeds go down, 60 mile an hour storm down to a 50 mile an hour storm. today i think it falls into being a depression but it will be a slow mover and has been a slow mover and looking at wind speeds of 3 to 5 miles an hour. it is still just sitting for as long as we have been here, 11 or 10:00 pm, just over myrtle beach
2:09 am
and now several miles past myrtle beach. it is a slow-moving system and you see that rain on the backside of it, giving some people some brakes, some gaps between heavy showers but heavy rain continues to move on to the coast. there are spots the big rain showers continue to fall and will still do so as it moves slowly. guests, 20 inches of rain, this is estimated so far, radar estimated but it is not over, heavy rain moving on sure as this storm moves along. what will we see? 10, 20 more inches of rain on top of what we have seen. don't be surprised if there are areas that get to 30 or 40 inch range, with this being a slow mover and storm surge already in there, nowhere for this want to go, trees will come down with the wind we are seeing, hovering around 50 miles an hour. these are gusts, myrtle beach 35 miles an hour, these wind speeds
2:10 am
with all that water trees can come down because of this. you do notice even though it is a slow mover through the rest of the day, once it gets going on sunday the speed picks up and it moves out quickly. the problem is there is so much rain throughout the region that even though it moves on, the actual rivers will not peek until monday, tuesday or wednesday. even ones the rain is over, this probably is not over. we will still be seeing flooding until the middle of next week. jillian: you told me it was moving 3 to 5 mph, it has not moved at all. i hate to say that. >> when we get those updates, it is moving 3 miles an hour. it is in that range that seems like it is sitting still. jillian: that is at 8:00 am. thank you. connell: talk about emergency
2:11 am
first responders, not the only ones trying to help people impacted by the wind, the rain, from tropical storm florence, but volunteers out there doing their part, trying to lend a helping hand. we are joined by major todd hawkes, general secretary of the salvation army's carolinas division. his organization gave aid to florida last year after hurricane irma. thank you for calling in. we appreciate it. tell us what the plan is for this saturday as it unfolds. what are you going to get out and do? >> we have been monitoring the storm since monday, september 10th. we have over 15 kitchens from around the country stationed along the coast ready to serve the impacted communities. we have been monitoring from elizabeth city all the way down. we have feeding units serving
2:12 am
emergency management officials, first responders and evacuees early on in the storm so we do have fixed feeding sites positions on the coastal communities and we are looking for gaps in the weather we have been talking about this morning so we can get additional seating units in over the next few hours and the next day or so but we are poised to have as many as 50 units a day, those 50 units will serve 80,000 meals a day. jillian: a lot of people across the country say how can i help? what can i do? at this point in the storm that is still ongoing, is there anything people can do? what are you most in need of? >> initially we need monetary donations so we can purchase and
2:13 am
get the supplies we need and place those supplies where we need them most. i would encourage folks to make monetary donations through our website which is helpsalvationarmy.org or 1-800-cell-army. but monetary donations, praying for those serving the victims as well as first responders. emotional, spiritual care. connell: people wonder how they can help and there are a couple ways to do it. do you think about redeploying your own resources that you talked about setting up? just the point of reference, we had the fire chief in charleston, south carolina in the last hour telling us they were able to avoid the worst of it and he was thankful for that. the forecast said this storm might charleston hard. it did not.
2:14 am
it hit other areas. are you flexibly enough to get your resources moving from one area to another? >> yes. giving charleston as an example we pre-staged emergency management officials and evacuees which are partnerships that are in place prior to storms and move those resources up the coast if necessary and that is what we are doing, looking at communities >> how difficult to move on those roads? >> greatest challenge would be navigating the floodwaters to service the communities. we are looking for those gaps in
2:15 am
where we can send units in as soon as possible but by sunday, monday, we hope to have most of our units in place once the rain subsides and have a better idea of the floodwaters. >> we wish you and your crews all the best, thanks for calling in today. jillian: we will get back to coverage of florence in a second but this is a fox news alert, we are following thursday's deadly gas explosion that killed one person and injured dozens more in three communities north of boston. nearly 40 homes were destroyed and neighborhoods evacuated. democratic senators elizabeth warren and edwin marky are calling for hearings, the governor declared a state of emergency. >> endover must be assured their
2:16 am
homes are safe to return to. our local officials make clear when it is safe to return home. jillian: major development out of washington dc where paul manafort made a deal with federal prosecutors. >> reporter: former trump campaign chairman pled guilty to two federal charges friday as part of a deal with prosecutors. this means he avoids a second trial that was supposed to start in washington. the agreement requires manafort to cooperate with robert mueller's investigation including giving interviews and possibly testifying. as part of this agreement manafort forwarded multiple bank accounts and several properties in new york but he will keep his properties in florida and virginia. >> wanted to make sure his family was able to remain safe and live a good life. >> reporter: manafort's attorney
2:17 am
was quick to take out these charges are related to his work in the ukraine and not russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. >> this is for conduct that goes back many years and everybody should remember that. >> reporter: rudy giuliani said in a statement an investigation has concluded with a plea having nothing to do with donald trump or the trump campaign. the reason, the president did nothing wrong. manafort is looking at significant jail time between today's guilty plea and the conviction in virginia on financial fraud. 's lawyers consistently maintained their client has nothing to offer about the president and russia collusion. jillian: four people have died in florence and first responders out in florence rushing to rescue those trapped by rising floodwaters. connell: the threat is not over. when the severe conditions could let up and how long the recovery could take. storm coverage continues after

add-on advantage. i'm ready to crush ap english. i'm ready to do what no one on my block has done before. forget that. what no one in the world has done before. all i need access, tools, connections. high-speed connections. is the world ready for me? through internet essentials, comcast has connected more than six-million low-income people to low-cost, high-speed internet at home. i'm trying to do some homework here. so they're ready for anything. jillian: 21 after the hour. for hundreds of thousands left in the dark during the storm portable radios may be their
2:22 am
primary source of information. a national correspondent with fox news radio joins us from wilmington, north carolina. what are you seeing and hearing your location this morning? >> reporter: what we are seeing is what we have seen for the last 24 hours, a community that has been decimated by this storm. roadways are nearly impassable as you drive around and try to go into a neighborhood, likely blocked by a 3. you can go down main thoroughfares, tried to drive around downs powerline, because we are still getting a lot of wind, there is no way for the town and the city and the authorities to begin to clear this out. we are still getting horrific wind gusts. until those go away you can't do much about the power which has been out for about a day and they can't do much about cleaning up the roadways either.
2:23 am
jillian: it will be days if not weeks to get these roadways cleaned up and get them open to see if there's any damage to the roads themselves. >> yes. but before they can allow line crews to put the power lines up it has to be safe for them. they have to clear the roadways and inspect roadways especially small bridges or anything like that that may have been struck by trees to make sure they can still handle the load of those big trucks weather an alignment or construction trucks or anything like that so we are told to expect the this before the storm i spoke to county managers and they were telling us expect to be living in the dark and alone for several days after the storm passed and that is coming to fruition here.
2:24 am
>> from yesterday's conversation, as limited as they might be or observations were you able to ascertain what percentage, was it low, middle or high, that stayed behind versus those that got out? >> reporter: it depends where they were in town. a few miles inland, 30 feet above sea level, that meant we were not in danger of storm surge you have been hearing about. people who live in this area it made no sense to evacuate because you are just running from wind and rain. it the peak of the storm florence had a 500 mile diameter. there was nowhere to run. people who lived on the beaches or the barrier islands a good number of them. very high number did evacuate. they boarded up and took their stuff and got out of there and
2:25 am
it was to me, as someone who covered hurricanes for many years and all too often watched people stay behind and end up in great amounts of claro -- parol, i was pleased to see how many got out. not everyone did. a handful of people stayed behind. we heard about attempts to be rescued in the midst of the storm and a lot of people said that was a bad move for me to make but it is a high percentage of people from that area that did the right thing and got out. jillian: in harvey, some of the hotels people evacuated to, the shelters people were staying in, some of those locations then seeing damage from all the rainfall. have you heard of any stories like that so far with this storm? >> reporter: the problem with
2:26 am
harvey was that it stalled for almost a week it felt like an just dumping rain everywhere even to points far north of houston like the woodlands which started taking on water like it never had before. we haven't had those situations just yet because it hasn't been 7 days since the storm struck but we are seeing a lot of pooling water. we have 20 inches of rain in 24 hours and that cooling water is no good. it will cause problems for structures, it will cause problems for sanitary issues so that has to be drained and has to evacuate. until the storm passes, not much you can do about it. jillian: thank you, appreciate it. something we hope doesn't happen. connell: we have been looking
2:27 am
for updates on power totals but it is the human element we follow the most closely. four people confirmed dead as a result of this storm and an untold number of people injured. jillian: we take a look at how hospitals and medical centers are dealing with the storm and keeping patients and medical workers safe. stay right there. about my family history. went to ancestry, i put in the names of my grandparents first. i got a leaf right away. a leaf is a hint that is connected to each person in your family tree. i learned that my ten times great grandmother is george washington's aunt. within a few days i went from knowing almost nothing to holy crow, i'm related to george washington. this is my cousin george. discover your story. start searching for free now at ancestry.com at first slice pizza lovers everywhere meet o, that's good! frozen pizza one third of our classic crust is made with cauliflower but that's not stopping anyone

2:32 am
her predicted cruelty. nearly 1 million homes without power, 5 people dead, maybe 2 million before the storm is said and done. you may be wondering what type of home they will have if and when they are allowed to return. tropical storm florence packing less wind than originally feared but it is the rain and floods that go along with the rain that have become the story. once again from the fox extreme weather center what is the outlook? we don't have your audio for some reason. a little switch on. jillian: give him a minute to see if you can work it out but the latest 5 am a little bit a
2:33 am
2:34 am
reporters, there have been periods people dry off but that is not going to be long-lived, still more rain to come through the early morning hours and the ground is already saturated, spots getting 20 inches, 25 inches, any additional rain isn't going to have anywhere to go in there is more rain on the way. forecast models adding another 20 inches in some locations. everything highlighted in the red is under a flash flood warning. that moisture off the coast will move overland so there's more rain on the way. when you talk about this rain still coming what we will ultimately see even if it is not today but the next couple days, there is nowhere for this water to go and as it works into rivers and streams this might not happen until monday or tuesday but everything you are looking at in red highlighted areas is moderate projected, major flood.
2:35 am
a lot of floods still on the way. wind is a problem knocking down trees, 50 mile an hour gusts. the good news, this is a future forecast, this wind field will be falling apart not so much today but sunday you see the winds back down in a big way. i will leave you with the forecast track, real slow mover through the day. you get into sunday and this thing takes off. real slow and a big speed up which we finally do need. connell: even when it stops monday or tuesday we keep covering that up. jillian: forecasters predicting more rain and flooding for coastal areas of north and south carolina. morehead city has seen two feet, not raining right now but more
2:36 am
is on the way. griff jenkins is there and some of these images, looks like part of that town are devastated. >> reporter: i will get to the flooding in a moment but the wind damage along highway 70, the main thoroughfare, this gas station totally destroyed come middle and steel ripped from the ground and it is indicative of the entire strip, houses with roofs ripped off, businesses destroyed, trees ripped out of their roots and you see over here gas boxes absolutely crushed. that is very telling, to see destroyed ice boxes because the resources that we are going to need when things get difficult, we have more flooding, 40 miles northwest, officials telling me
2:37 am
they are rescuing 100 people, they rescued 375, but the major road behind me is flooded in several places. up to greenville, major resource city totally cut off from that, movement is getting difficult, resources are getting thin before we have a chance to come in, to get to people's houses and that sort of thing. it is a tough weekend for north caroline he is. connell: i hope your voice holds out. i don't know if you will find them. >> is because of the medical side of this florence unleashing her wrath on the carolinas, some hospitals and medical centers that remain open are doing their best to keep patients and staff safe.

2:39 am
jillian: curious if you had to take patients from neighboring towns to the north or if you anticipate doing that as rain comes down in some areas that continue to get hit. >> we have seen patients in the north from north carolina, no power up there is what we are being told, they are coming south of the border and continuing to blow in. connell: speaking of power, we deal with it and report on natural disasters, many areas especially in north carolina dealing with power outages but certain areas in south carolina are or may in the future. how are you set up as a medical center to handle the loss of power? >> we have two large generators and enough fuel to last four or five days. we have been on generator power for 18 years now and seeing good results from that. we continue to be optimistic to maintain power here.
2:40 am
>> the area has power. >> we are seeing power surges. we need to make sure medical equipment is stable. jillian: in the off chance you saw continual problems the last few days, what would your plan b if you did have to move people to another medical center? >> at this point we don't foresee that. we are prepared to hunker down and continue doing that in the foreseeable future. we have plans in place. we don't see that happening. connell: thanks for calling in. jillian: images of florence's
