save the two dogs that we rescued down. they do incredible work. >> julie: they do allow your animals. shepard smith. >> hurricane dorian relentlessly pummeling the bahamas and started towards florida's east coast. good afternoon, everyone. i am trace gallagher with continuing coverage of this category for chiller. we have just received an update. let's go straight to the fox extreme weather center. explain what we are hearing from the national hurricane center. >> not much has happened since the last advisory. it is still just moving out one mile-per-hour. we want to show you something here. this is a satellite. our most resolute satellite issue that we have. we didn't get any image for a

couple of hours. they just came back online, and what they did, they kind of mark to those two hours that were missing. they kind of blended together if i am explaining this well. my point is, take a look at th this. they really didn't move at all. in fact, i left here last night at 10:00, and the i had just crossed over. you see that it has moved probably 20 miles in that entire time. that means that it is a cat 4 o. the better part of 16 or 17 hours. the damage once we get that is going to be extreme. the other thing that has happened, we are still just about 80 miles offshore here from west palm. what we do see happening is it is beginning to move a little bit more towards the northwest.

we see these here. moving more towards the northwest. that is that eventual turn i think that we have been expecting to see, moving a little bit more towards northwest. that is the right-hand turn that it is taking. we have these hurricane warnings here. we have hurricane watches going up into parts of georgia. i just put the map up here. there is a lot going on. from up towards here, down through wellington south carolina, into georgia and florida, that is one tropical storm force winds should be arriving to you. we have it down here, melbourne. up towards daytona beach and so on. we are going to be talking about this three or four days from now when it is up into parts of the carolinas. >> and for those who don't know exactly how this works, when you talk about this thing slowing to

a crawl, one mile-per-hour, what does that mean for the storm itself? does it take in more water, more power? what does that mean? >> generally, if a storm is sitting over one spot, it will be deeper in the ocean. so we talk about warm ocean temperature being kind of the source, deeper is much cooler. so it will hold up cooler water from below, and that will eventually start to we cannot storm a little bit, which is good news. it has been sitting over the bahamas, which is really shallow, warm water. if it is maybe 88 or 89 degrees on the surface, it is pulling up water that is probably 85 or 86 degrees. it doesn't change it a whole lot, but in general, that would begin to happen. it will pull up some cooler water, and that could be one of the things. >> trace: back to you as the news breaks.

he is live from the fox extreme weather center. we have been watching a disaster in slow motion as dorian kind of grinds on top of the island, crushing them with some of the strongest winds that they have ever seen down there. i want to get back to you ellison barber. what are we hearing from the bahamas? >> hey, trains, officials are describing it as unprecedented devastation, and that is what the videos that we are seeing from the bahamas show as well. it especially hard. businesses, now piles of rubble. hours and hours of fear for the people there, and it is not over. they are still feeling the impact of dorian. 165 miles per hour at times. it is expected to be there. extreme winds, up to 190 miles

per hour. 18-23 feet. rainfall, up to 30 inches. the prime minister told "the washington post" that the bahamas are at work, but i try hurricane dorian, but in his words, they have no weapon at their disposal. many people have lost their homes. one family reportedly lost us on. they say a 7-year-old boy drowned, and his sister is still missing. officials have not confirmed or commented on numbers related to a potential death toll. what we are hearing most from officials down there in the bahamas is pray. pray for the bahamas. >> trace: some folks in west palm beach now facing mandatory evacuations of the storm lives that way. >> there are mandatory evacuations for parts of the county. people have been told not to go north. if they needed to, they have been told that they can head west. shelters are becoming a better

option. evacuation orders are in effect for more vulnerable housing structures like mobile homes for low-lying areas that are prone to water intrusion and flooding. and areas like that barrier islands, which are considered to be vulnerable. people have boarded up their homes and businesses, many of them putting the final screws in yesterday. a lot of people that we have spoken to have said that it has been difficult to figure out evacuation plans because the storms have been so unpredictable. it is hard to know if they are moving to a safe place or if they will end up worse off. that is a constant challenge with hurricanes. >> i.e. evacuated for hurricane irma. it was supposed to hit the coa coast. so you know, it is really crap shoot. you just never know. at least you have a chance to step away. >> evacuation orders for the town of juno beach where we are

now, they are mandatory. as you can see over here, people are hiding from the rain now. a lot of people are out today. most of the people we have spoken to say they don't live in juno beach. they wanted to come down here to get a final look. obviously, police officials say that people shouldn't be doing that, but you can see this little girl here seems like she is going towards the water. we have seen some people here swimming as the waves crash down this way. if you look a little bit more down, you can see how much those waves are starting to build there. the winds are getting stronger. we have seen it get closer and closer to us. last update, the eye of hurricane dorian was about 100 miles away from where we are right now. >> trace: it looks like it is going to deteriorate from where you are. have you talked to the people on the beach? did they feel the sense of security? they say it is kind of going to the north, or are they planning

to get out of there at some point time? >> a little bit of both. i spoke to someone today who said he boarded up his home, and he felt like perhaps they were going to be okay and stay put, but then they were also saying that they are coming from the bahamas, making them a little bit more worried about the slow movement and the unpredictability. if they are told that they need to evacuate, they are willing to do that, but i think really the sense of a lot of people here, many of them are lifelong floridians. they have been through storms like this before. officials are saying don't take it for granted, but they feel like they can handle it. a lot of it has been because so many people keep saying it looks like it is heading more north. we think it will miss us. the calmness has changed in palm beach in florida in the last 48 hours or so as people see those updated forecasts and

feel a little more confident, but officials here in florida are trying to tell them don't get overconfident. listen to local authorities. heat any evacuation orders. >> trace: it is very good advice because you don't know. this thing is a monster. it is better to be safe than sorry. ellison barber, very nice work down there. well, the coast guard recovering for bodies after a dive went up in flames. 29 people still missing. it happened near santa cruz island. the boat was apparently used for multi-day scuba diving trips with bunk beds for dozens of passengers. mark barney with the u.s. coast guard joins us now on the phone, and it is unclear to a lot of people, officer barney, how exactly does happen. do we have any indication of what might have happened this morning?

>> good morning, sir. right now, we don't have any information on any evidence that leads us towards what caused the fire this morning. it is something that we are going to look heavily into, but right now, we are more concerned with the search and rescue aspect. >> trace: is it still search and rescue? there have been some conflicting reports that it is now search and recovery. i know you were just about to head back out there. your estimation for all intents and purposes, they are still looking for survivors? >> cracks. we are still looking for potential survivors at this point in time. >> trace: when you go out there, what is it that you are looking for exactly? you know -- there are some reports, what are you going out on looking for right now? >> so, for every search and rescue team that we have in the water, we have reports of people in the water.

we are looking for the tops of the head, shoulders. that is what is normally going to be sticking out of the water as they are treading water. we are looking for any signs of people on the shoreline, in the water. it breeds. any form of evidence that will lead us to more people. >> trace: i want to play this made a call. i want to play this for you and get your reaction. to go this is the coast guard on channel 16. what is your position? [inaudible] >> trace: you heard him there. he said he can't breathe.

39 people on board the boat. we know five of them got off. when he first got to the scene, what was the first thing that the coast guard does in a situation like this? >> well, the first thing that we do is ensure that there are no other people in the water at the time. so the santa barbara county fire department focused on distinguishing the fire while we more or less are focusing on seeing if we can find any people who may have jumped overboard. >> trace: it is a heart-wrenching situation. best of luck to you, the families out there. thank you so much, sir. >> sorry. one more piece of information to pass on. sir? >> trace: please do, sir. >> we are passing it on a number for the family assistance line.

call this number immediately to find out more information on these other passengers from friends or family aboard the vessel. the number is 833-688-5581. >> trace: 833 -- one more time. >> 833-688-5581. >> trace: got it. we will try to put that on our facebook page. again, best of luck to you. mark barney with the u.s. coast guard. >> thank you, sir. >> trace: we have a lot more to come on dorian. cops are going door to door, telling them it is time to leave. will they heed those warnings? it's not optional. we will have much more on that. the storm is category 4. moving out one mile-per-hour. next. let's see, aleve is proven better on pain

coastal residents evacuated the coast of the same time. that would have created gridlock and brought traffic to stand still possibly four hours. so by coming up towards columbia this morning, an hour and a half early, with traffic moving smoothly in the charleston area towards columb columbia, as you see, this picture, this is normally going towards charleston. there is a lot of traffic. >> trace: so that's the governor -- that's the governor of south carolina right there. governor mcmaster. he is talking about how they are reversing lanes. you imagine the problems that he has because you got all these people from labor day, and they are trying to get out of there. also trying to get you a set up

of how that is going to work. he says right now, it is flowing well, but it could be a problem as you get into the days ahead. remember, the hurricane is moving at a very slow pace. one mile-per-hour. it is expected to get near the florida coastline and then make that jump, but we do not know where it will go from there. some say it could stay out to see and never make landfall at all, but others say some of those close like the carolinas could be right in the path of this thing. it is not the actual eye of the hurricane. certainly those outward winds, which could expand, and that's why they are evacuating places to get people out of there because those areas are prone to flooding. you've got a lot of storm surge coming up there. they want outflow. the traffic lanes going away from the hurricane to be open, and then people are not being allowed to come back in.

that's what the governor was doing. this is clearwater beach, florida. you can see the weather for all intents and purposes it is fine. it's fine, but nobody knows what the next 8-10 hours will bring. that is the concern. it is a monster hurricane. we will keep you up to speed on this. 1 mile per hour. 15 mile-per-hour. the director of the national hurricane center with all a lot more answers on what this storm may do is joining me next. ♪

imagine being there for hours after hours as your island gets pummeled? keep in mind that this hurricane is moving out one mile-per-hour. you walk at 3-4 miles per hour, so this thing is just kind of stalled right there, and it is battering the bahamas. these are our first live pictures. we are trying to get contact with people to see how they are faring throughout this. as you might imagine, communication is almost impossible right now. the live pictures, kind of astounding. it has been going on now for hours, and it will go on for hours more until those people finally get a little bit of a break. i want to bring in the director of the national hurricane center. you look at these things. 150 miles per hour in the bahamas. it has got to be just treacherous for this people. >> it is one thing getting hit by a hurricane, but it is a whole other thing to have to set for 30 hours or more in one

place, absolutely stationary. 150 miles per hour, so rainfall, storm surge, 23, 24 feet. that just makes it that much worse. >> trace: we just saw some pictures. a couple of segments ago, people in the palm beach area, down by the ocean. a lot of these people are not really heating the advice to evacuate. the national hurricane center is kind of thing this thing makes very well stay offshore, but that is not a foregone conclusion by any stretch. >> we keep telling people, trays, that these impacts go well away from the center appear there is too much focus on the center once. we don't even put a lien on the mat. 120-130 miles away. a little wobble. closer to the coast. not only that, but no matter where it moves, the storm surge.

that is the leading cause of fatalities. >> trace: i see the red right there. that is what you're talking about. that goes all the way up the coast. so, what is the danger with storm surge. you have no idea. you have no idea when the storm -- we move the track. we make it bigger, smaller, left, right. no matter what happens to the structure of the american, we have those values. here is the important part. that comes early. that value, as before. well before the hurricane goes there. you have to leave early. >> trace: are you worried about rain as much with this?

is this primarily -- now, we talked on friday, you and i, this is a triple threat. is it still a triple threat, or are we mostly concerned about the storm surge from the same? >> it is interesting with their rainfall. it is so dependent on the actual tracks. coming up with these rainfall totals, so a little movement, a little track movement, also these higher values, they come on shore really quickly. so the local forecast offices getting it done. so everything depends on that. again, the big thing to remember, it is well outside the center. >> trace: i want to move if i can really quickly up to george and the carolinas. we have the governor of carolina telling people to get out. as we get north up to the carolinas, he becomes a lot more questionable exactly how far off the coast of the storm will be. is that a fair assessment? >> yes, look how long.

low-lying areas. they did issue a mandatory evacuation yesterday. i am pleased to say that i think most of our coastal communities and residents in the vulnerable areas have evacuated. that, coupled with the times that are coming in right now, not our friend. we have local restaurants on the waterways, their dining decks are literally underwater right now. >> trace: and your primary job, if i'm getting this right, to make sure that people evacuate. is that right? >> yes, our primary job is to keep our communities safe. we literally do go door to door, passed out flyers, used speakerphones, what have you, to notify all of the residence to leave. >> trace: we were just talking to ken graham about this. because the national hurricane center has said this may not hit land, have you gotten some

resistance from people who are saying they are telling us it is not even going to hit land, why do we even have to leave? >> you will always have folks that will ask you that. they really don't want to have to leave, but we explained that it is all production. mother nature will do what mother nature chooses to, so we just need to be smart. we do encourage them, we let them know very candidly that showed a dire situation occurred during the storm and we end up with high winds, and our personnel cannot get to them, so they are really putting their lives at if you stay, you are on your own. lori, so good to see you. best of luck to you and your town. >> thank you very much. >> trace: before the storm even hits the united states, volunteers are getting ready to help folks in need. we will talk to the founder of the famous cajun navy about the

know. it could change. we got the hotel in gainesville. we will head out if it gets bad. >> good luck to you all. we have heard that a lot. i talked to a guy who had 16 people on forecast map, and for the most part, they are going to stay put. >> trace: the quote of the day is that mother nature will do her thing. lots of businesses have already closed up ahead of the storm, right? >> they have. much of the town in jacksonville beach is closed down. they have taken a lot of other precautions as well. they moved a bunch of power tracks, utility trucks into position and a number of locations around the state. set up thousands of utility trucks and some 17,000 line workers are standing by. they have close bridges. they have put in those mandatory

evacuation orders for the mobile home parks and anyone else who might be vulnerable. so they are encouraging people to get out, and they should if they are in areas that normally flood. if and when this thing does damage, but it is just so uncertain. it is so unpredictable right now. >> trace: rick leventhal, live for us in jacksonville. the mayor of jacksonville joins us now on the phone. i am not sure if you heard there, mr. mayor, but you've got people down there saying well, we might leave tomorrow if it gets bad enough. are you having a tough time trying to convince people to move away from the shore in the beaches? >> we put up a mandatory evacuation that includes those beach cities starting this morning. now, we just remind people that you know, no single storm is the same on any given year, but this is my third and four years, and the last time we had matthew,

skirting off the coast, there was major flooding at the beaches. there was other flooding in low-lying areas. this is nothing to mess around with. >> trace: you make a good point because even the kennedy space center, matthew came through, and adjusted a number on the coast all the way down. how concerned are you about the storm surge in jackson? >> well, so, we are under a hurricane watch down at the beach. any time you either of those events, you could have trees, power lines, flooding. there is a whole series of things that can happen. when we asked people to evacuate, we don't know which of those things will happen. storm surge is a very real. >> trace: are there areas of

jacksonville that are especially vulnerable that you send extra crews out to, to say you can measure flooding here, so you need to be very, very carful about staying around? >> we have television, radio. we are reminding people to know your zone. ordering the evacuation. people know. look at their zone. they also know and they low-lying areas -- two years ago, with hurricane irma, we had to send rescue in the morning that the storm was leaving. people have to hang flags out on their front porches to let us know that we needed to come get them. we don't want to phase out again. people need to heed the warnings. i understand that there is stress involved, but you can replace property. you cannot obviously replace

life. we've got to take care of each other, be serious. >> trace: people don't realize that somebody has risked their lives to come and get you if you end up in some deep trouble, right? that is exactly the assessment that we'll worry about. >> the other thing, there could be parts in the middle of a storm, if you don't evacuate and you call 9111 it is happening, there is a chance no one shows up at that moment in time. not worth it. >> trace: the mayor of jacksonville. not worth it, you're exactly right. i am you, these things, if you have ever been in a hurricane, they are frightening and dangerous. best of luck to you and your people in jacksonville there. we will talk again soon if it gets bad. >> thank you. >> trace: the point remains here that he is exactly correct.

it skirted the coast. north of florida, you may not know this, they have never had all the way to the georgia border, there has never been a category three or above hurricane to hit that part of florida. never. since 1851 when they started keeping records, but here's the problem. when you go through and you've got these hurricanes skirting the water, skirting the land, the winds are powerful. they are dangerous. the rains are dangerous. the storm surge is dangerous. you put all three together, and you're better off just getting out. also, the cajun navy is preparing to help stranded people and animals. they provide assistance wherever storm is bearing down. joining us now on on the phone is the founder of the united cajun navy. you do such heroic work.

i was down with you, and you do great work down there. when you get to florida, are you shorthanded, do you have the people you need? >> right now, at that and acquisition teams are working around the clock, bringing in supplies. we are securing bases in jacksonville, florida, near some of our national partners. getting involved in distribution. getting ready to go. >> trace: when you hear the national hurricane center say that this thing is moving out 1 mile per hour, just battering the bahamas, you've got a little bit of time. what is your goal in the next 48 hours? what are you guys going after? >> right now, we also have teams in st. cloud. we have a lot of animal rescues. our goal right now is to coordinate as many supplies as we can in the jacksonville area

because some of our national partners are located there. from there, we are burning with the u.s. veterans board to have high water vehicles move up the east coast area. we are concentrating our efforts on supplies. the local government, they are doing a very good job. they are getting the infrastructure back in place. rebuilding roads and stuff. we coordinate more with supplies to get them in. >> trace: and you do good work down there. you talk to the governors and the mayor's, they always tell people if you don't get out now, nobody is going to come get you. then of course you have the cajun navy that rescues you. do you have the boats that you need if things get bad? do you think you've got the things that you need to help people along the coast? >> we have as many assets as we have possible. one of the issues right now, kind of a hurdle for us, a lot

of our resources that we would have in the carolinas, especially, a lot of them have to get through it. it is taking so long that we are kind of really trying to pull resources back from the louisiana area to have them on standby. we are looking at another three or four days for possible landfall. we are a volunteer organization, so people have to use their own resources. >> trace: this is not your first hurricane, talk, so you have learned some things over the past 14 years. what is your big take away? what, going into this, have you learned in past hurricanes that you think will help you out this time around? >> this time around, this is a little different storm. it is coming at an angle and a speed that is unprecedented on a labor day weekend holiday, so there are a lot of factors. a lot of us try to prepare for

stuff, but this is one of the things that you really can't prepare for. we really have to come together as a country, and everybody has to work together. we are going to need every possible resource to take care of the storm. >> trace: you once said that this is god's way of bringing the country got together. >> i have always thought about. sometimes i think it is god's way of bringing the country back together. all nationalities, all races, we were together. we don't discriminate. we never do. sometimes i think this is god's way because the country comes together in disasters. that is his way of saying that we can get along. >> trace: i tell you what, you guys have done great work, todd terrell. best of luck to you. of those of you who don't know much about the cajun navy, they had both lined up down the interstate. they had so many books, people

were giving up weeks of vacation to come down and help their fellow man, so when he says it is god's way of bringing the country together, there was a lot of togetherness. people were giving up their time and energy and money to do just that. we will get back to todd in the day to come. much more storm coverage. you can see that it is the storm surge now that is worrying these authorities the most. seven, eight, 9 feet of storm surge. you couple that with high tide, and that's a lot of water coming your way. that's why when people tell you to get out, you should heed their warning. continuing coverage, hurricane dorian, category 4. moving out one mile-per-hour. it is now stalled over the bahamas, pummeling those islands. let's see, aleve is proven better on pain

storm. those are the islands right there, and you get the idea. just cutting right across. then towards grand bahama, stalling out for the last 14 hours. in general, the entire track has taken about 80 miles in the last 24 hours. that is the center point of the storm. it is much bigger than that. and it is getting close to the u.s. here. about 80 miles as well from the eastern shore of florida, and we talked so much about the center of the storm. the entire thing. the center point of it is right there. hurricane conditions expected across the central coast of florida there. the hurricane watch is a little bit closer. this is one forecast model, possible rainfall totals. a lot of spots here.

then across the carolinas. but you notice between 12 plus inches and not much. that is because we are threading the needle. exactly where the center of the storm goes, and this is what this forecast is. by tomorrow morning, a little bit more of a faster pace. moving out one mile-per-hour. it starts to pick up a little bit of the pace. this is wednesday morning. it is probably the closest point to the florida coastline. cape canaveral here. and then it makes this little bit of a turn and probably gets its closest interaction with the land. that is according to the exact forecast, coming up out of the national hurricane center. again, the storm is bigger than just that center point. essentially, that outer wall. anywhere all the way up through

north carolina. we keep talking about it. we have to keep up all of the precautions. >> trace: i know that we talk about the different reasons that this thing is going north. what is kind of the lesson here? why is this thing staying off of the coast? is it high-pressure? >> yes. all right, to give you some meteorology in general here. large hurricanes, they want to deflected towards the north in the northern hemisphere. just based off of the rotation of the earth, it wants to spin up towards the north, but then you get high-pressure to the north of that that doesn't let it go there. the high pressure that was there is retrieving. that is allowing it to finally move towards the north, which is kind of what it wants to do. there is a little bit of weakness, areas of low pressure that will pull the storm towards the north.

those are forecasted in one direction. a very. unfortunately, that has such a different impact, based off of exactly where the storm goes. you see how close it is towards the coast. so many people living right there in that direction. >> trace: thanks for the lesson, rick. the governor of georgia issuing mandatory evacuations for areas along the coast, including the island, just outside of savann savannah. joining me now on the phone. mr. mayor, i know you're busy. i appreciate you joining us. about 3,000 restaurant 3,000 ree island. they may have to evacuate. they are pretty much just kind of waiting and seeing. >> the governor called for an evacuation effective about three hours ago. we certainly support that decision because the storm -- we have seen what it has done to

the bahamas. it is absolutely a monster. we are looking at a couple of different scenarios here. it takes that turn a little bit later than expected, which is worst-case for us. you know, it ends up coming much closer to the coast of florida. georgia, south carolina. and even in that situation, we are looking for significant impact. a hurricane matthew in terms of wind answers. final scenario that it washes off further away. and it is looking like the third possibility there is becoming less and less likely. that is why we feel like it is important for people to heed the governor's evacuation. >> trace: this thing is going to hug the coast very closely. are you worried about areas that might be flood prone, mr. mayor,

that you really have to focus on? >> absolutely. we experience significant surge from matthew. it passed us as a category one. even worse with hurricane irma, which didn't even come there. it was passing by. so with this one, looking at caw close it gets to our short, it is going to make a huge difference. water can be a killer. so that it is something that we certainly worry about. there are a lot of people that have written out storms because they don't want to be inconvenienced. my argument would be why risk

your life? it is too valuable. there is a possibility of that first scenario, coming very close. see dominic facing significant surge. >> trace: you know these people. you know them very well. as he said, some of them are not going to leave, and you can't really force them. >> that is obviously a concern, and we are doing everything that we can. all over the island, indicating exactly how high it can go. showing very clearly what can happen if we experience something like that. this is just a monster. you watch the reports from what is going on in the bahamas. you can't help but be concerned for your community, especially a few days out. still inside the national

weather service kind of uncertainty, knowing that the storm has been very unpredictable. so we have to plan for all contingencies. we are planning for all contingencies. >> trace: we don't have a camera trained on your area, mr. mayor care dominic. can you give us an idea about what it is like? >> it is warm, but that brings in a lot of wind. we have shut down the beach. keeping swimmers out of the water. the lifeguards have actually shut down operations. we don't want to give people a false sense of security by having them on. also expecting some really significant beach erosion. we have built up over the years. they were there for a reason. but we know that they are going to take a beating, regardless of where this thing is at the

moment. >> trace: best of luck to you, jason buelterman. it is going to be a doozy, but we are pulling for you. >> thank you. >> trace: hurricane dorian destroying homes, causing catastrophic flooding. we do not yet know the full scope of the devastation there or how many may be dead. let's get back to ellison barber. she is live in juno beach florida. with more. she is kind of tracking florida and the bahamas for us. what are you hearing from there? >> yet, as many people have already heard, the islands are hit especially hard. businesses turn to stacks of rubble. streets now look more like rivers, and it is not over. part of the problem is that because this hurricane is so slow, what often comes with a hurricane, it has turned into an effect for the bahamas. dorian is expected to use it over grand bahama most of today.

extreme winds are expected. gusts up to 190 miles per hour. storm surge, 18-23c. rainfall, up to 30 inches. the prime minister told "the washington post" about bahamas are at work, attached by hurricane dorian. but he said "it has no weapon at its disposal to defend itself," talking about the bahamas there. assets from air stations in clearwater, florida. the islands of the bahama, they are seeking helicopters there to help with poster canned response as soon as it is possible to get into those hard-hit areas. you mentioned the potential death toll. what we're hearing right right now, and they have not commented on this just yet, but local media is reporting that a 7-year-old boy drowned. the first data as a result of hurricane dorian, and that his

sister is missing. trace. >> trace: yes, that is just heart-wrenching. some people are facing mandatory evacuations of both strong kind of moves that way. >> that's right. mandatory evacuations and parts of the county. mandatory evacuation for structures that are considered vulnerable, like mobile homes, older housing. also for low-lying areas that are prone to flooding. and places that could see storm surge, like the barrier islands. people have boarded up their homes, their businesses. some people have evacuated. evacuation orders are in effect peer mandatory evacuation orders for the entire community of juno beach, where we are now. some have stayed in areas with mandatory evacuations. hunkering down. looking at the beach, but they say that they will stay put. statewide, at least eight counties in florida put out

mandatory evacuations. this morning or this afternoon. a lot of floridians are use to hurricanes, but hurricane dorian is one of the strongest south florida has potentially seen in quite a while, and for some young floridians, this is really their first big hurricane. they say it is nerve-racking. >> this one is a little bit different. i am kind of nervous for this one. it hasn't happened before since we have lived here. we haven't experienced a big hurricane in our lifetime. >> trees, i am walking up here a little bit because i want to show you some of the other devastation. devastating homes in people's lives, but wildlife is also impacted. this is a sea turtle. we have seen trails of them all along the beach where they were nothing. people have pointed out to us that the nesting season ends mid-november. important to the oceans ecosystem, and a lot of them are

already seeing the impact. washing up here that is a concern for a lot of people in this area in addition to their homes. >> trace: ellison barber live for us. we will be back to you. breaking news coming out of north carolina now. we told you that the storm is moving at one mile-per-hour. 1 mile per hour, that is where it is moving. it is a category 4. it has weekend a little bit. it will not get to the carolinas until you see it possibly tuesday, wednesday. even into thursday. we have now just gone breaking news from north carolina, including the outer banks. they have issued mandatory evacuations for 12:00 noon tomorrow, beginning at 12:00 tomorrow. they are telling people also you've got to get out because the storm surge, as rick has

point in time to expect that to pick up a little bit, and at what point in time. do you expect it to start making its way nor north? >> waiting for the system to pick this up, so stationary now. we think tonight and into tomorrow night, we will start seeing this move slowly north. the timeline here by tuesday evening off of the florida coast. then by wednesday morning, still on the florida coast. it is going to take some time to move forward. >> trace: because it is going so slowly, do the different variables change? looking for eight hours from now, a different forecast because of the fact that it has slowed down so much? it continues to say at this pace, will that change the pattern, the path of the storm in any way? >> look at this cone.

you can get a little adjustment here and there, but this cone is really where we think that the center could be, based on an average of five years, so this can enjoy a little bit closer to the coast, but either way, it really isn't going to matter because look at the size of the tropical storm force winds. now they are growing. this rhyme is getting bigger. as it moves northward, those impacts will reach the coast. >> trace: you are talking primarily about storm surge. you look up in florida, and the storm surge could be significant. lisle. it's not really an understatement. >> absolutely. it causes half of the fatalities historically. very dangerous. i am over 6 feet tall, and this is over my head. a lot of water. at one thing that is really important, coming in before the rain and the wind, so even if you have the center out here,

you have it well ahead of the center. listening to local officials, don't wait until the last minute for the evacuations. get out early because the water comes in early, it can -- it is really important. >> trace: lastly, do expect us this thing is moving close to the coastline of florida, do we expect the speed to pick up anyone? >> trace: once we start getting further north, starting to really pick up speed. these dots represent how fast this is moving. by the time you get to the carolinas, really speeding up, then by saturday, off of cape cod, it is going to really start raising northward. >> trace: great work as always. we will be back to you when news breaks. in the meantime, went up in flames and sunk off of the coast
