>> drew brees earned that moment yesterday, right? >> one of the nicest guys. he really is. remember when we were there for the super bowl. really, really nice. >> family man. proving he's one of the greats. great night for them. welcome to "cbs this morning." we're on another storm watch. this time for evacuations is running out for the nearly 2 million people directly in the path of hurricane michael as it takes aim at florida's panhandle. the deadly storm is about 24 hours away fro making landfall it could be the first major hurricane to hit the area since 1995. more than 130,000 people are under mandatory evacuation orders. florida's governor who declared a state of emergency in 35 counties called the hurricane "monstrous." it's already killed 13 people in central america. chief weathercaster lonnie quinn of our new york station wcbs shows us who's in michael's path. we're talking about landf p of

florida through the big bend. it's a category 2. it has 100-mile-per-hour winds. we believe it's going to strengthen to category 3. making landfall somewhere around panama city. now, in order for this to continue to strengthen, it has to continue to overwhelm all the dry air which is this red shaded color just on the western side of the storm. if any of this dry air gets infused inside, that rotation of the storm is not going to make it to a cat it st3 status. i want you to consider this. michael right now is forecast to be a category 2 or 3 at landfall. we think probably category 3. but florence, my goodness, florence was forecast to be a category 4 at landfall. it was a category 1evasng sto wm as is always the case will be on the right-hand side of wherever landfall is. we're talking the potential there for up to 12 feet of storm surge. so this is devastating in an

area that is so prone to storm surge because it is concave, it's a big c-shape, just catches all that water. 9 to 12 inches of fresh rain, fresh water rain, and then you're looking at 6 to 9 inches as you push into portions of georgia. >> thank you, lonnie. that surge the hurricane could bring coastal storm surges of up to is it feet12 feet along the panhandle. 1,200 national guardsmen have been mobilized to help. omar villafranca is in panama city beach, where the city is just emptying out. omar, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the beaches here are almost bare. crews are started packing up some of the beach gear. they're going to get ready to store that. we're dealing with a double red flag warning which means no one is allowed in the water. that's probably a good thing. as you see, the water's starting to get rough as the storm moves closer. now, yesterday, people spent the day basically boarding up their homes and businesses in franklin

county is about 90 miles east of here. in tallahassee, people stocked up on supplies like water and filled sandbags at one of eight locations set up across the area. gas station had lines of cars waiting to fill up. and some places even ran out of fuel. florida governor rick scott declared a state of emergency in 35 counties and asked president trump for assistance. over in neighboring alabama, the governor declared a state of emergency. from the air, you can see the long line of cars on route 98 heading west out of panama city beach yesterday. schools across the gulf coast are closed. many will be closed for rest of the week. now, this particular area, we're expecting about 6 to 9 feet of storm surge. but to give you an idea of michael's strength, they're expecting about 2 to 4 feet of storm surge in tampa, in the tampa area, and that's about 200 miles away. >> all right, omar, thank you

very much. at least four people are missing after flash floods swept through an rv park in west texas. emergency crews are searching for the men right now. their rv was washed away yesterday. about 140 miles west of austin. flooding prompted the rescue of 19 people by boat and helicopter. video shows a man being hoisted to safety. one woman survived being swept 18 miles downstream by clinging to debris. the area's had up to 12 inches of rain since sunday. new york's governor says the limousine that crashed and killed 20 people should have been parked for good. investigators say the limo's driver, scott lisinicchia, who died in the crash, did not have a proper license. also prestige limousines, the company who owns the limo, has been cited for 22 violations in the last 24 months. demarco morgan is at the crash scene in schoharie, about 25 miles west of albany, with new information from investigators.

demarco, good morning. >> reporter: bianna, good morning, you were out here with us so you know exactly how close i am to the crash site, but we've been pushed back further because of the investigation. police are telling us the limo involved in that crash failed an inspection some time last month. the ntsb says the ford excursion that was carrying 18 people was a traditional suv that was stretched. the board is now examining when and how the vehicle was converted and what caused this tragedy. >> the driver of the limo did not have the appropriate license to operate that vehicle. >> reporter: investigators said monday the limousine carrying a group of young people headed for a birthday celebration never should have been on the road. what about the vehicle? was it outdated? was it properly fit? >> that company and that vehicle have been under scrutiny of d.o.t. in the past. >> reporter: prestige limousine owned the vehicle. according to federal records, in september, three prestige vehicles failed inspections and were cited for multiple violations including no or defective emergency exits and

malfunctioning brakes. >> those safety issues had been addressed and corrected. >> reporter: attorney lee kindlon represents prestige limousine. >> not all infractions are minor. a lot of these were minor and fixed. >> reporter: if they were minor and fixed, how did we get to where we are today with 20 people dead including the driver? >> well, i don't think that these infractions were what led to the tragedy. >> reporter: police say prestigious' 2001 ford excursion limo was traveling southwest when it drove through an intersection. there are no signs the limo tried to brake as it barreled into the parking lot outside a country store. there, it struck and killed two pedestrians and slammed into an unoccupied highlander before going into the woods. >> the owner of the company had no business putting a failed vehicle on the road. >> reporter: prestige limo is

owned by local resident shahed hussa hussain. he pleaded guilty in 2003 and became an fbi informant. a photo taken from surveillance videotape shows him in 2004 as an informant holding an inert rocket launcher during a sting operation. kindlon says his client is out of the country. >> we had a phone conversation earlier this afternoon. >> what did he say? >> he wanted me to, again, do whatever i could to express to the families and the victims his sorrow. >> reporter: the fbi isn't commenting on whether hussain was an informant. authorities seized four vehicles from prestige including that limo and police are also saying the victims who were inside the limousine, they actually rented a bus from a different company but the bus broke down. they hired prestige at the very

last minute. norah. >> oh, that detail, oh, my goodness, demarco, thank you. we now know the names of most of the 20 people who died. 8 of the passengers were part of the same family. the others were all very good friends. a vigil was held for all the victims last night and yesterday in new york. that's about 15 miles north of the crash site. tony dokoupil is there. tony, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. thousands of people packed this park last night to remember the victims. at least seven of which were from this town and all of which were from the surrounding area. they came to sign the banner behind me. one of the notes on that banner from rich and axle steenburg's mother who wrote there will forever be a hole in my heart. that's just one example of how this community is grieving. ♪ amazing grace >> reporter: candlelight illuminated a sea of slolemn

faces during this vigil as the tight-knit community mourned the 20 people killed in saturday's limousine crash. >> so much pain in a very small spot of the world. >> reporter: 17 of them gathered for amy steenburg's 30th birthday and were headed to a brewery in cooperstown. in a vehicle were steenburg, her husband of four months, her three sisters, two of their husbands and her brother-in-law. also in the group, newly weds aaron and shake mac gowan along with savannah bursese and her boyfriend matthew coons. >> everybody's so close in this area. >> reporter: curt smith grew up with many of the victims including coons. he said they were like brothers. how long do you think it's going to take this community to be back to something like normal? >> to be honest, i don't know if -- i think it will just be a new normal. i don't think you ever come back from a tragedy like this. >> reporter: amanda hause died

with her boyfriend patrick cu cushing. >> she held our family together. >> reporter: marty dyson was one of steenburg's three sisters killed in the crash. close friend julia robbins says losing them is testing her faith. >> how can god take away so many people at the same time? and leave kids without parents? >> reporter: adding to the emotion here last night, the knowledge that at least six children lost one or both of their parents in the crash. there will be another vigil at the apple barrel country store where the accident happened. that will be for families, victims and also first responders. >> so much pain in one spot in the world, thank you, tony. >> the more you keep hearing about the story, the more details you hear, the worse it gets. we were saying yesterday they've done the right thing, hiring a truck, hiring a limo because they wanted to have a good time and celebrate a birthday and it ends up like that. heart breaking. >> go fund me pages are already

started for some of those young children. you're right, so many people to go into the limousine, the first thing you look for is not a seat belt if they want to have fun with their friends. >> exactly right. >> the supreme court's first arguments with brett kavanaugh on the bench are getting under way right now. the newest justice promised to be impartial at last night's ceremonial swearing-in at the white house. this follow's kavanaugh's all-out confirmation battle. jan crawford is outside the supreme court where his nomination is still a center of protest. jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. justice kavanaugh is going to hear arguments this morning into relatively technical criminal law cases and what is shaping up so far to be a pretty quiet term. unlike of course the confirmation process which was a political firestorm. >> the senate confirmation process was contentious and emotional. that process is over. my focus now is to be the best justice i can be. >> reporter: addressing the public and the eight justices he

will soon join, justice brett kavanaugh promised to treat everyone with fairness. >> i was not appointed to serve one party or one interest. but to serve one nation. >> reporter: it was a sharp contrast to last month's hearing when he turned his focus to democrats while rejecting accusations of sexual assault. >> this whole two-week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated political hit. >> reporter: before watching his second supreme court justice being sworn in, president trump claimed the confirmation process proved kavanaugh was innocent of the allegations. but a last-minute fbi inquiry approved by the white house and republicans open the sena s on judiciary committee did not conclude his innocence or guilt. >> on behalf of the nation, i want to apologize to brett and the entire kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure. >> reporter: majority leader mitch mcconnell also in the

audience said earlier in the day that kavanaugh's confirmation united the republican base ahead of the midterm elections. >> what this has done for us is provide the kind of adrenaline shot that we had not been able to figure out how to achieve in any other way. >> reporter: now justice kavanaugh is also making good on a pledge. he made back before the beginning of all of this. all four of his law clerks he's hired this year are women. that is a first for the supreme court. listen to this, there are four other women who are clerking for other justices this term. they had all clerked for justice kavanaugh on the federal appeals court. >> he's making history already. jan, quiet term isn't going to stay quiet long. it's now got a conservative lean. when do we think we'll see the impact of kavanaugh on this court? >> well, i mean it may be a while. as you know, justice kennedy was a conservative but he tended to side with liberals on some of those social issue cases. those are the ones we don't normally get until the end of june when the court's wrapping

up the term. so this is a quiet term so far. but it may pick up. we still may not hear until june. a new justice can make a new court. so some of these justices could even rethink their alliances. >> all right, jan, reporting live from the supreme court, thank you. he said last night his daughters were getting the day off from school so they could be there for the first day. >> it's been hard on them. >> it's been hard on everybody. thank you again, jan. china admits it detained a top international police official after he mysteriously vanished during a trip home. beijing says he's being held for suspected bribery. his detention is now shining a harsh light on china's sweeping authoritarian crackdown on alleged disloyalty. ben tracy is following the story from beijing. >> reporter: this was a bold and brazen move by the chinese government. and it could have significant consequences. some are now questioning whether or not chinese officials should

be allowed to lead international organizations if the chinese government can simply make them vanish. meng hongwei was named president of interpol in 2016 and was living in france. he came back for a visit last month and that's when he went missing. his wife says before he disappeared she received this text message showing a knife to warn her he was in danger. the chinese government now admits he detained meng and are accusing him of taking bribes and other crimes. interpol says it was not informed that meng was under investigation. the chinese only admitted having him in custody after interpol demanded an explanation. chinese president xi jinping has led a high-profile crackdown on corruption in the communist party. in the past six years, 1.5 million party officials have been punished. but this is also widely viewed as a way for xi to take down political rivals and those he finds disloyal. now, here in china, the court's answer to the communist party,

so meng's detention is basically the same thing as a conviction and he could even face the death penalty. bianna. >> such an incredible mystery. ben tracy in beijing, thank you. well, a new u.n. report predicts catastrophic damage from global warming over the next 20 years. ahead, why we may be running out of time and what can still be done good tuesday morning. onshore flow is making a comeback. cooler temperatures especially for the bay and on the coast. upper 60s in san francisco looking at 80 for redwood city, vallejo. much cooler for wednesday and 30 we will warm back up to and out the workweek into the weekend.

anonymously, have told journalists they believe khashaggi was murdered inside the saudi consulate but they've so far provided no evidence and saudi arabia's ambassador to the u.s. has called the claim absolutely false and baseless. in an interview with "the washington post," jamal khashag khashaggi's fiance said he was worried something might happen if he entered the saudi consulate. fears for his safety had already seen khashaggi go into self-imposed exile in the u.s. last year. >> what worried me the most is -- >> reporter: he was an outspoken cr mohammad bin salman. >> he felt he needed to leave saudi arabia where he was specifically ordered to >> reporter: saudi arabia's crown prince has launched a series of social reforms in the ultraconservative islamic

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it's tuesday, october th, 2018. welcome back to "cbs this morning." ahead, hundreds of thousands of people are packing up and leaving the florida panhandle ahead of hurricane michael. we've got the forecast for the big storm that's set to strike tomorrow. plus, alaska searches for the biggest brown bear it can find. park rangers say that is good. first here is today's eye opener at 8. >> time for evacuations is running out for the nearly 2 million people directly in the path of hurricane michael. >> it will take place pretty rapidly. cat 2. wednesday most likely would be a cat 3.

>> the water is starting to get rough as that storm moves closer. florida governor rick scott declared a state of emergency. >> the nspectn some time last month. >> thousands packed into this park to remember the victims, at least seven of which were from this town alone. >> justice kavanaugh will hear an argument in what's already a quiet term so far, unlike that confirmation process. >> this was a brazen move by the chinese government. some are now questioning whether or not chinese officials should be allowed to lead international organizations if the chinese government can essentially make them vanish. >> yuriel has it. underhands to first and that is the ball game. >> defending champs are not messing around as they complete the sweep. >> houston astros advance to the american league championship series!

hurricane. 365 miles to the south of apalachicola, florida. it continues to move to the north and the northeast but it's the intensification that continues. we're up to a cat 3 here later today, by tomorrow when it makes landfall. not only is it a strong cat 3 but pushing cat 4 status, 125-mile-per-hour winds as it pushes onshore. what are the effects of a system like this? wherever that eye goes onshore, anywhere left of that -- let's say it makes landfall at panama city. this pink line from panama city to just north of tampa, florida, would get huge storm surge out of this. 10 to 12 feet being pushed onshore and tornadoes sparked up on the right-hand side of the storm as well. this is a serious, serious situation, john. >> thank you, lonnie. serious, indeed. >> now this, president trump's u.n. ambassador nikki haley will resign at the end of the year.

the president announced the move in the oval office a short time ago. >> haley, former governor of south carolina, has served in the trump administration since it began. the president says she has done, quote, an incredible job and hopes she can return some day. major garret is at the white house. major, not many people saw this one coming. >> reporter: not at all. the president told reporters a couple of moments ago that about six month ago his u.n. ambassador nikki haley informed him by the end of the year she would leave her post. that's certainly something she kept to herself and the white house kept on a close hold as well. the choreography designed and looked like an amicable departure for the u.n. ambassador. interestingly she has been more aggressive than the president on the topic of russia, saying a couple of weeks after the president's helsinki summit with putin, we don't trust russia, we don't trust putin, we never will. nikki haley also told reporters

she will nor any political office after leaving this post and will campaign for president trump, whom she says she expects to run for re-election in 2020. those of us who remember the 2016 campaign remember nikki haley as an early supporter of marco rubio. after trump won the nomination she became an advocate of the trump policies and served, as the president said, admirably as his u.n. ambassador. >> major, thank you. scientists say climate change is getting worse and there could be serious consequences for our planet in the next 20 years. the new report from the u.n. predicts that at the current warming rate, millions more will die from extreme heat by the year 2040. there will also be substantial loss of coral reef and rise in sea levels that could wipe out small island nations like the bahamas and maldives. 90 scientists from 40 countries wrote the 728-page report. somini sengupta is the reporter

for "the new york times" and joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. >> by 2040, the devastatingesques we'll already see, within our own lifetimes and obviously our children's. how do scientists come to this conclusion? >> a child born today will just be graduating from college in 2040. my own daughter will be in her early 30s in 2040. they came to this conclusion by looking at piles and piles of scientific studies and they concluded that we are warming up the planet by human activity, by everything that we do, so fast that we're reaching the cliff edge a little faster, quite a bit faster. >> so most of these wounds are self-inflicted by us? what are we doing? >> what warms up the planet, according to scientific consensus, is greenhouse gas emissions. how do they get into the atmosphere? cars and trucks, planes, from

agriculture even produces greenhouse gas emissions and the consequences are really quite dire. once the planet heats up to a certain level, you have much higher chances of heat waves that can be potentially very fatal, wildfi theikes which we have seen this year. coastal flooding because of sea rise. lots of people, millions ands.o the world, remember, we've got lots of capital cities and airports along the coastlines. those are in danger and huge economic losses. >> geopolitical effects that happen when you have droughts and food shortages. you start to have all kinds of conflicts as a result of these effects. >> you raise a very good point. food shortages and water shortages can lead to civil unrest and pave the way for much bigger conflicts, absolutely. >> i spoke with president obama about this in 2015, he said no challenge poses a greater threat

to future generations than climate change and what he specifically talked about, too, sort of what you were talking about, john, the rise of ocean levels, five, six, seven feet. have you bread baskets, essentially, places that feed our country, wiped out. then that can lead to conflict and terrorism. he tied it to future terrorism in this world. >> i think a lot of people have known for a long time what the risks are. as one scientist put it to me, long before this report came out she said this is no longer a wake-up call. we should all be awake. we should all be awoke by now on this. long time, policymakers, scientists, politicians have known exactly the main things that need to be done, right? so they are hard. they're not easy. it means moving the global economy really quickly, really profoundly. that means weaning off things using coal. you and i don't use coal. the world as a whole relies on

coal. it is the single largest source of electricity. it means switching from coal to renewable energy like solar and wind. it means figuring out how to get from place a to place b without putting oil in our cars. there are engineering solutions, lots of smart scientists trying to figure out how to suck that carbon out of the atmosphere and forests, how to preserve our forests, which act as a huge carbon. >> the big challenge is how to implement those solutions. >> that's right. it's an issue of political will. can we do it rather than do we know how to? >> bigger appreciation for forests because they're very important to saving the world really. people don't make that connection. thank you very much, somini. >> thank you. >> good to have you here. you can find more information on how to help the environment on our website, cbsthismorning.com. >> a number of smart speakers in the world could rise to more than 7 billion in just three

time. actually, the story goes back to the whole idea of the five people you meet in heaven. that lives intersect. everybody's connected. and so i had to sort of figure out how annie was connected and what was going to happen when she after being saved ends up dying and goes to heaven. 15 years later. >> it's a story about mistakes and loss. you say mistakes aren't always mistakes, and loss isn't always loss when you look at it. >> absolutely right. the first book, eddie thought his life was a mistake because he was stuck working at an amusement park. taking care of rides. turns out when he goes to heaven, that he had killed a child in war that he didn't know about, so he ended up working as an amusement park worker to take care of children. we never understand those kind of things. annie is saved by this accident. she doesn't even remember it in the book and keep thinking her life is a mistake. she's remembering she made a mistake that somebody died as a result of. she ends up becoming a nurse because her life was saved. and she ends up saving other people's lives. so the book is sort of for people who -- as maury from

"tuesdays with maury" said, you need to forgive yourself when you reach the end of your life. forgive yourself because we're hard on ourselves for the mistakes we think we're making. they're not all muistakes in th end. >> we had a family discussion. you said, if you knew you were about to die, how would you spend your final hours. if you had one year left, how would you spend it? and thinking about death while morbid can also change the direction of your life. >> that's right. it makes every day precious. i think that that's what morie did and that's what the idea is behind all of this. you know, we -- we spend a lot of time thinking about the losses that we have in our lives and certainly my books have dealt with that kind of thing. there's a moment when annie has a pipecleaner animal that's significant in her life. i won't say who does this. at one point, the pipe cleaner is dismantled. and someone said, look, this is the heart that you're born with. it makes a single pipe cleaner heart. it's small, perfect. and then heap takes the other four and -- he takes them the

other four and puts them together, he says, with lines across, this is the heart that you die with. she says, it's all broken. he says, that's right. she says, that's what ruins it. he says, no, that's what makes it whole. that's what life really is. the losses we have actually teach us to appreciate, as you said, the chase we have and the people -- the days that we have and the people we have with us. >> the value you value life -- i've been interested, uncle eddie, the inspiration, thought he was a nobody. the notion that you can have a life that has immense value, but you can still think you're a nobody. >> well, i think that unfortunately a lot of people in america feel that way. and that's why i wrote this book for people who kind of think i don't matter or why does everything i touch go bad? you know, well, when annie gets to heaven, she finds out things that she did wrong, there was a consequence to it that turned out to be right. and infunding we look at -- and i think if we look at it that way, sometimes the things we do wrong offer us opportunities to be better. the mistakes that we made offer us opportunities to not make mistakes in the future. then that nothing life that

you're referring isn't nothing at all. it touches all kind of people. and the conceit of five people you meet in the heaven was because my uncle thought he was a nobody, and he once told me his dead relatives were waiting for him. he had a near-death experience and thought he said them at the edge of the bed while he had an operation. he told them, get out of here, i'm not ready for you yet. went back into his body and lived a few years longer. i thought, that's what heaven must be like. people waiting for but i always thought that's what heaven must be like. people waiting for. but what if they are not waiting if for you. what if people like us. i think if we all kind of connect, we might be more appreciative. >> on paper death is such a dark chocolate topic and you seem to make so it inspirational. you read this book with tears and a smile at the same time. >> i try not to write about death as much as just use death to illuminate life. and i think once we all realize we have limited time we start to take life a little more preciously. >> it is a great read.
