7:09 am
the national weather service is predicting a potentially deadly 9-foot to 13-foot storm surge along the panhandle where we're driving. stretching for hundreds of miles. winds are expected to hit 145 miles per hour. people in this part, this area are no strangers to powerful storms, 2005's hurricane dennis made landfall as a category 3 here. and caused $2.5 billion in damage. one woman we spoke with said she remembers that storm and she's decided to stay, despite the mandatory evacuations. others are staying, too, some say they'll leave when the water comes. but officials here are clear -- no one should take a chance against a powerful storm like this. governor scott, said you cannot hide from a storm surge. jeff? >> okay, thank you very much. the superlatives continue to pile up here, john. this will be the strongest hurricane to ever hit the florida panhandle.
7:10 am
it will likely now be the strongest hurricane ever recorded in october, records they started keeping records in 1851. so as michael moves even closer to shore, we're going to do our best to continue to report on the storm. but also stay safe here in panama city beach. john, back to you. >> thank you, jeff. as the governor said new york city one should take a chance. lonnie quinn, chief weather caster of our new york station, wcbs tv is here with the latest on this deadly storm, lonnie, good morning. >> good morning john and everyone. here's the latest from the national hurricane center. 145-mile-per-hour winds, it's a cat 4. 145-mile-per-hour winds, that's a strong cat 4. if it gets to 157 it would be a cat 5. it's moving north-northeast at 13 miles per hour. somewhere around five hours if now we expect landfall. it's currently 65 miles southwest of panama city, florida. take a look at the eye of the storm. for a storm this large, that eye
7:11 am
is only, i mean it's 20 miles across. that's like a figure skater at the end of her routine. she's got her arms out wide and she's spinning slowly. a storm like this the smaller the eye is, the more tightly wound it is. and this is a strong, strong storm. you take a look at how it's going to progress from here. we think it's going to hold on to the cat 4 status, possibly ev. what happened yesterday at this time i was talking about a category 1 system. well hurricane michael has been like a seeing eye dog. it has avoided all the ingredients that destroy storms. the it's missed them and the winds vin creased 55 miles per hour. in just 24 hours. it went from a cat 1, to a cat 4, 95-mile-per-hour winds to
7:12 am
145-mile-per-hour winds. and minimum central pressure does not change, minimum central pressure often determines the strength of the storm. the lower the pressure, the stronger the winds. if it doesn't change, michael will be the strongest october ever, not just on the panhandle, on the globe. >> incredible details there, lonnie, thank you so much. we spoke earlier with fema administrator brock long in washington and asked him if there was any message for the millions in the path of this deadly storm. >> your evacuate to coming to a rapid close, we're seeing rain bands indate many parts of the florida panhandle. that means that the water is starting to pile up along the coast, too. and storm surge is what we're most worried b. that's why we asked people to evacuate. and we just hope that people have heeded the warnings and are getting out of harm's way. >> there's always somebody that doesn't heed the warnings, no matter how many times you say it there's always somebody that says i got to stay and protect my home. what's your message to those people? they made the decision, they're not leaving. >> well you're putting your own life in danger and more
7:13 am
importantly, you may be putting others lives in danger as well. if other people are staying with you. it's truly unfortunate. we saw this in florence. we put the warnings out. and a large portion of people died in their vehicles driving over flooded-out roads. even though we're saying turn around, don't drown this is just an unfortunate element that comes withal of these storms. and every day, the guys behind me at fema, we try to push the preparedness messages out and saying why we asked them to evacuate but unfortunately there's always people that seem to know better than us. >> you're still working on the aftermath of florence, a few weeks ago, do you have enough resources to prepare and deal with michael? >> we do. right now we have nearly 3,000 people in the field from florida to north carolina. the unfortunate aspect about hurricane michael is that this is going to not only be a massive hit to the florida panhandle and the coast, but it's going to maintain hurricane-force winds through the state of georgia, as well as
7:14 am
dump additional rainfall across the carolinas. and with florence, you know the cape fear river just started to recede around october 8, october 9, we're forecasting, they're forecasting another three to six, possibly eight inches into the cape fear river basin. which is truly unfortunate. >> administrator long, the population of florida is a little different than other places, older residents, some can't get out. are there preparations being made for nursing homes and hospital facilities to deal with power outages and those challenges? >> typically states you know mandate that the privately owned nursing homes and assisted care facilities have evacuation plans in place. hopefully those have been executed. but we're always on standby with high-water vehicles and search-and-rescue vehicles, if we get a last-minute call for assistance. but typically florida has their act together. governor scott and the florida division of emergency management are very well organized. and stay on top of those things. so we hope we don't see too many
7:15 am
issues. but if we do, we're ready to stand by and support as much as we can. >> well administrator long, thank you so much for spending time with us this morning, we appreciate it. thank you. and you can follow hurricane michael throughout the day on this cbs station, on our streaming network, cbsn. and on the cbs news app. this morning president trump is looking to replace a key member of his administration, and a prominent voice for the u.s. on the world stage. united nations ambassador nikki haley said yesterday she will resign at the end of the year. the announcement surprised many administration officials. haley said she believes in term limits and that it's time for someone else to do the job. paula reed is at the white house with reaction to the surprising announcement. paula, good morning. >> good morning. ambassador haley is one of relatively few high-profile women in the trump cabinet. she said she will stay through the end of the year to give the president time to pick a replacement. the president said he is considering about five people with some unexpected names showing up on the short list.
7:16 am
>> on behalf of the country i want to thank you for a great job. >> u.n. ambassador nikki haley managed to make a dignified departure from the trump administration. >> she's done a fantastic job and we've done a fantastic job together. >> president trump said haley first brought up resigning six months ago. but top officials were caught off-guard by the announcement, including secretary pompeo and national security adviser john bolton. >> the united nations has long been a hostile place for the state of israel. >> haley has backed trump's hard-line stances with israel and iran. last month haley slammed the anonymous colleague who wrote a critical op-ed in the "new york times." haley said i don't agree with the president on everything. when there is a disagreement i pick up the phone and call him or meet with him in person. >> thank you, mr. president, it's been the honor of a lifetime. in remember resignation letter haley revealed a clue about her next move writing to the president, i expect you will
7:17 am
appreciate my sense that returning from government to the private sector is not a step down, but a step up. haley said in her meeting with the president yesterday she would not run for office in 2020. recent financial disclosures reveal that haley is hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt which could be alleviated by a private-sector job. president trump said he could name haley's replacement in a few weeks, even suggesting someone very close to him. >> i think ivanka would be incredible. >> but the first daughter quickly dismissed that suggestion tweeting that replacement will not be me. >> the president confirmed he is considering former def deputy national security adviser dana powell for this role. she is thought to have a command of the issues. and we've learned that joe lieberman, a former u.s. senator and 2000 al gore running mate is also being considered. turkey's government is investigating a so-called

assassination squad that flew from saudi arabia to turkey just before a critic of the saudi crown prince disappeared in istanbul. turkish state television showed this video of reporter jamal khashoggi entering the saudi consulate that was the last time he was seen. a black van left the building about two hours later. khashoggi wrote for the "washington post" which ran a plea from his fiancee asking president trump for help. vice president mike pence said the u.s. is open to sending an fbi team to help learn the reporter's fate. the wife of the driver behind the wheel of the deadly new york state limo crash said the company raised concerns about the company's vehicles. >> there were a few times he told me, i overheard him say i'm not going to drive this. like this. you need to give me another car. he cared. >> ahead and only on "cbs this morning," why she says the investigation into the crash that killed 20 people, shoul

welcome back to "cbs this morning." as we watch hurricane michael charging toward the florida coast. you're looking at the storm high above the earth from the international space station. brock long said this morning that the power outages could last for weeks after this category 4 hurricane hits the florida panhandle and moves across the southeast. more than 8,000 utility workers from florida and other states are on stand-by, ready to respond. we're at a utility center in tallahassee. manuel, how are you?
7:31 am
>> doing well. they have people at this facility standing by. they plan to work 16-hour shifts until they get the power back on. tallahassee is known for, and very proud, of its canopy of trees, but that will be a liability during michael. clearly it's not the only service provider in this area. duke energy estimates 200,000 of its customers would be impacted by power outages along the florida panhandle, especially along the coast. the company says it could take days, perhaps even more than a week to get the power back on. earlier this morning i spoke with rob mcgarrah who is the general manager at the power company here in tallahassee about the general strategy of getting the power back on. what are you doing to get the power back to hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities? >> those are our priorities.
7:32 am
as soon as the wind dies down in the middle of the night, we'll look at our priority list. we'll look at the priority facilities that are out of service. obviously we're anxious because of the strength of the storm and having not seen one like this before, but we're also prepared. >> reporter: and just within the last few minutes, the rain started to come down sideways here. you can see we're really starting to feel those first impacts of michael here in tallahassee. another reminder. do not use a portable generator inside your home. it can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, and that, of course, as we've seen in other storms can be deadly. >> a good time to go in your house. a new federal report reveals that pentagon weapon systems are vulnerable to cyberattacks. a government agency said testers gained access to one system within just one hour during an audit. they gained all control in just

one day. powering weapons on and off were also at risk of manipulation. they said insecure lines of communication were partly to blame for this. the world health organization is warning of risk of too much noise, including ear buds. it can increase the risk of stroke and diabetes. they suggest reducing road traffic noise to 53 decibels, the equivalent of hearing a dishwasher in the next room. the mega jackpot has now climbed to an estimated $548 million, after last night's drawing failed to produce a winner. it's a big jump from yesterday's $470 million prize. the current jackpot is the largest in the history of the game. the next drawing is friday. >> after taxes it's $309 million. could you live on that? i know you have very expensive

7:35 am
nothing to do with scott. >> this is so difficult because i think about him every day. >> when was the last time you spoke with him? >> it was saturday morning before the crash, before he went to work. >> and when did you find out about the accident? >> i didn't hear from him for about three hours, and that was odd to me. >> you sort of felt something was wrong. >> i felt something. so i called his boss -- not the owner, but the son of the limo company. i was like, did you hear from scott? and he said, i'm glad you called me because there was an accident. >> what do you think may have happened? was scott suffering from any medical condition? >> he was in excellent health. he was an excellent driver for over 20-plus years. he drove a tractor-trailer in that time. that's why i know something was
7:36 am
wrong. >> authorities say your husband didn't have a proper license to drive that vehicle. >> i don't know what that's about, because even if he did have the proper license, this still would have happened and i feel like he still would have got blamed. >> you hear about the violations with the fleet, prestige limousine's fleet. are you bitter? are you upset? >> i am. they should have been more responsible. you have a company where you have people's lives in your hands, that's unacceptable. >> did he ever complain about the vehicles? >> kbryeah, he did. >> what did he say? >> there were a few times where he told me -- like i overheard him say, i'm not going to drive this like this. you need to get me another car. >> so he knew something was wrong with those vehicles? >> not really. he trusted in what the limo company said, that the cars were
7:37 am
all right, but, please, i have to say i feel for these victims, i feel for them. i am in no way trying to make it seem like it's about me or my husband. i just want my husband to be vindicated. i have to stand for him because nobody else will. >> reporter: kim was very adamant, saying she will continue to pray for everyone involved and impacted by this tragedy. meanwhile, reports that scott l l lis in this case a was given a ticket.
7:38 am
the vehicle was deemed road ready after an inspection in september, but it was claimed in a statement that that was categorically false. the owner was warned not to operate the vehicle and the vehicle was placed out of service. you have a lot of back and forth, but one thing is certain for this community, it is mourning the loss of 20 people killed in this tragedy. >> a lot of questions remaining, demarco. thank you for that. in a statement prestige limo said, quote, we appreciate the concern. scott lisinicchia was a good driver. >> they said they didn't have a license to drive that particular limousine. she's saying he was qualified because he had driven a tractor-trailer. i don't know what the story is there, what the truth is there, but it's a heartbreaking situation for everybody.

government giet lin government guidelines ass to what qualifies as natural, it's a marketing tool. consumer reports say 73% of customers seek out foods labeled as natural. the question is, what are they getting? la croix says its sparkling water sales are bubbling over, up 70% last year. . toted as a calorie free alternative to soda. but they say those claims are false. it says synthetic chemical compounds are added to la croix to make the drink taste or smell a certain way. the suit claims one ingredient causes kidney tumors and another is used as a cockroach insecticide. roger clemens says the compounds are considered safe. >> these compounds are found in nature, mostly in fruit such as oranges, lime, strawberries, pineapples, banana as. so we consume those compounds every day if we eat any kind of
7:45 am
fruit. >> but it will be up to a jury to determine whether those compounds found in la croix are derived from natural substances or are created artificially. parent company natural beverage corporation says the ingredients are derived from the natural essence oils from the named fruit used in each of the flavors and are certified by our suppliers to be 100% natural. still, the labeling is part of a larger problem, because there's no industry standard as to what the word means. >> i believe the consumers today are confused what the word natural means. they believe it means safer, natural means more wholesome. >> one analysis predicts continued explosive growth in u.s. sales of so-called natural products reach are $252 billion by next year. but there have been a reported 300 lawsuits over the use of the word on food products in the last three years. in one 2016 settlement, general mills was forced to drop the word natural from its granola

good morning to our viewers in the west. it's wednesday, october 10, 2018, welcome back to cbs "this morning." hurricane michael is starting to hammer the florida panhandle and there's much worse to come. and florida governor rick scott tells us what he's most worried abou about. >> about 375,000 people have cleared out as michael seems to get worse by the minute.
8:01 am
>> they're expecting 10 inches of rain, a 12-foot storm surge and possibly 140 miles an hour winds. >> a storm like this, the smaller that eye is the more tightly wound it is, this is a strong storm. >> duke energy estimates 200,000 of its customers could be impacted by power outages. >> your time to evacuate is coming to a rapid close. we're already seeing rain bands inundate the florida panhandle. >> ambassador haley says she will give the president time to pick her replacement. he's considering five people with unexpected names showing up on the short list. >> on thursday, the doors of the white house will open to welcome none other than kanye west. [ laughter ] that's right. the topics at the lunch are said to include prison reform, gang violence, and how good it feels to unload like a maniac on twitter. >> i'm bianna golodryga with gayle king, norah o'donnell and
8:02 am
john dickerson. we are following another storm. hurricane michael is roaring toward the florida panhandle and is getting stronger. the intense category four hurricane is parking top sustained winds of 145 miles per hou hour. >> nearly 30 million people in the southeast are in its cross hairs. forecasters say mike logical bring damaging winds and life threatening storm surge. cbs evening news anchor jeff glor is in panama city beach, florida with the latest. what can you tell us. >> we can tell you a category four hurricane has never hit the florida panhandle and that is about to happen. the last major hurricane to hit here was hurricane dennis in 2005. dennis did $3.2 billion in damage. one early estimate says michael
8:03 am
threatens to do four times the damage but michael has been getting worse. this has created problems for the oil and gas business in the gulf of mexico. about 40% of the gulf's oil production and 28% of natural gas production shut down. oil producers stopped most offshore drilling and evacuated their rig there is. on land, fema officials say people should brace for widespread power outages. utility crews from across the country are making their way down to this hour as many others leave to help with power restoration. 2500 national guard troops are here to help with evacuations and thousands more on standby. one of the major concerns is the ability of cranes to handle high winds. they are built to withstand 120 mile an hour winds. we could see winds that exceed that so there's concern some could come over. the threat of a catastrophic
8:04 am
surge here and the damage in general has cleared out about 375,000 people from the florida panhandle. we want to check in with omar villafranca in port st. joe not far away to see what is happening there. omar? >> jeff, we had to change our location because it's getting pretty rough over here as more vans come s -- bands start co from michael. there was a foot of water on the road and in a matter of minutes we saw it go up several inches. that's one reason why officials were telling everyone to evacuate. yesterday they were telling everybody that was staying in a mobile home that they need to evacuate and get out on within of the three bridges because one fw one closes around the st. joe area it will be impossible for anybody to go in and out. other notes, the hospital here closed down. the ambulances are basically inland on higher ground so if anybody is going to need medical
8:05 am
assistance it won't be possible until this hurricane passes through. we'll continue to monitor. this area still has power but as the wind picks up and we're seeing trees flying in the air, we're expecting power to go out soon. >> okay, omar, thank you very much. norah, for a storm that continues to defy all expectations, we will continue to keep our guard up as well. we're still in panama city beach but we have moved to a slightly safer location. >> stay safe and incredible reporting. jeff, thank you so much. chief weather forecast eer lonn quinn is here with information just out from the national hurricane center. it doesn't look good, does it? >> no, the wind speed still 145 miles per hour. still a category four. keep in mind, real strong
8:06 am
category four. the change is in the forward motion moving to the north/northeast at 14 miles per hour, a mile per hour stronger than it was so landfall is in about four hours around panama city and this is new. because the storm is so strong it holds on the a category two status as it moves into georgia. well inland. look at the eye of this system because we talk about four hours will make landfall. landfall is about the center of the eye. the worse this storm offers, you can see the bands hitting the shoreline, the worst is here, the eye wall. that will be an hour earlier than landfall. and take a look at what the worst will be. you have to consider it's always the storm surge but the wind will be huge because this is the strongest wind to ever hit the panhandle second highest water level in apalachicola. it could double. it's at five feet, it could get
8:07 am
up to a foot of rainfall but in 12 hours, not two days or three days. this will be a one-day storm, it's gone by late tonight. john? >> fast moving, thank you so much, lonnie. earlier we spoke with governor rick scott at the state emergency operations center in tallahasse. we asked about his warning for people who were still evacuat g evacuating. >> you have to hunker down. you have to shelter as quickly as you can. the thing is coming. as you heard, it's getting worse. what people didn't realize is that could get worse, 12 inches of rain, we'll have flash flooding but the thing that is so different is the storm surge. as much as 13 feet. when that storm surge comes in, you have no control of it. there's so much pressure and it pushes everything in and then it sucks everything out. three feet of storm surge can be deadly so 12, 13 feet of storm surge can be devastating so we
8:08 am
have 3500 members of the national guard i've deployed. we have over a thousand rescue individuals ready to come as soon as this passes but they cannot rescue you during the middle of the storm. don't go out to get somewhere. we have health care strike teams ready to come in to do what we can to help but if you're along the coast you have to hunker down. if you're in places like tallahasse there's time left but not much. we'll have hurricane force winds even in a place like tallahasse. >> some of these counties that will be impacted don't even have shelters or the shelters they have are only built to withstand up to category two. that's scary. >> we have 54 shelters open. some counties like taylor county we don't even have a shelter because it's too low lying. the evacuation order is for the entire county so we've opened up
quote
8:09 am
shelters. >> are the shelters safe? >> well, we work to make sure shelters that are opening are safe and we have national guard member there is, we have red cross there, we'll do everything we can to keep everybody safe but it's so frustrating, i've spend the last two days traveling the coast to get people to evacuate and those that have elected not to, i'm very concerned about their safety. >> governor, thank you. we have continuing coverage of hurricane michael throughout the day on this cbs station and our streaming news network. and on the cbs news app. patriots star tom brady is giving one massachusetts high school a big shoutout. >> hey, guys, i've heard about all the incredible things the students at worcester technical high school are doing and i want to congratulate you guys on your accomplishments. >> this school will impress you. we'll show you why brady is such

i hate to get political but -- >> yeah. >> -- one of the best leaders we have right now who has totally reformed a political people in his image and gotten two people on the supreme court and other things shows that vulnerability is the key to loss. not showing vulnerability is one of his signature traits. that seems to be the opposite of what you're saying. >> i'm glad you went there. >> john goes there. >> i'll go with you, john. you can absolutely get away -- you can get masses of people behind you if you do two things, weaponize uncertainty, take people who are in uncertainty and guarantee them certainty and then give people someone to blame for their pain. and you can do anything you want. the problem with that is that fear has a short shelf life and you cannot do that for very
8:37 am
long. the question is always what kind of damage are you going to do while you're able to do that, but i do not -- i have seen no evidence -- and i'm re-endorsing goodwin right now, her book on leadership. i don't think that's sustainable. >> i'm a leader in whatever i'm doing in my life. how do i be more vulnerable if i want to access this trait? >> vulnerability is not disclosure. that's the big mythology, right? i know a lot of leaders who just show up and -- everything. that has nothing to do with courage or vulnerability. can you manage uncertainty and risk and emotional exposure? can you stay in the hard conversation? can you tell the truth? can you give feedback when it's hard? can you ask for feedback when it's hard? vulnerability is, i believe -- and it's probably 60% of the book -- the only path to
8:38 am
courage. and it is the birthplace of innovation, creativity, trust, empathy. i love when people call and say can you come talk to our company, brene? we would love to have you speak. just don't mention vulnerability. >> you hope that people who read this book, it will result in one behavior change for leaders, that they should read it cover to cover on a flight. one behavior change that you think all leaders need is what? >> it's going to be simple. clear is kind. unclear is unkind. stop avoiding the tough conversations because you think you're being polite or kind to people. that's not kind. >> breath of fresh air. >> speech, speech! love everything you say. brene brown, thank you very much. >> thank y'all. eager mom got a little too involved in her son's dating life, putting him at the center of a national debate. >> was her name gayle is this.
8:39 am
>> no. i know. >> i love this woman. >> she tweeted that her son won't go on dates because of, quote, the current climate of false sexual accusations by radical feminists with an ax to grind. she included the #him too. the hash tag quickly started trending and inspired many responses than mocking the post. he told cbs news he disagrees with his mom's tweet. he created a twitter account called that was my mom and wrote sometimes the people we love do things that hurt us without realizing it. i respect and believe women. i never have and never will support him too. hanson says he has forgiven his mom but an interesting conversation. >> switched over to the son side on that one. >> hopefully he can have a conversation with his mom. >> leadership skills there. army veteran adam keys says he got a second chance after

8:46 am
other soldiers hadn't made it. >> that hit me very hard. i felt like i left my guys down because, you know, you're a team over there and you -- some guys looked up to me and not for much reason because i didn't have the rank or anything, but i was always determined. >> you were a leader. >> i tried to be. i always wanted to be, that's for sure. >> enduring over 100 surgeries, keys was determined to survive for them. >> i coded six times. i should have been dead. but any stretch of the imagination i should have been dead. but i was given a second chance. >> it was a journey of hope and determination. he learned to talk and walk again. and decided he would squeeze the most out of that second chance. eventually he was competing on the hand cycle in marathons. before turning his sites incredibly to the peaks of kilimanjaro. >> it's crazy. >> it is. it's ambitious. >> climbing mount kilimanjaro, i
8:47 am
mean, most people with all four limbs in the world could never do that. >> well, that's a little bit of drive. again, i use that as motivation to myself. if it was easy, everybody would do it. >> he saw the climb over 19,000 feet as a message to others. >> you're pushing yourself to the limits to show people. >> i am. >> that they can do it. >> if you had that obstacle in front of you, you can get over it. and i'm hoping to show you can do it, but it does take a lot of work. you have to lean on other people. >> his friend tyler, a medic, climbed alongside him and documented the trip for us. >> feeling great. to the top. >> a group of tanzanian guys became invested in his journey. >> there we go. >> at times carrying his mountainized wheelchair and listing his spirits during the hardest moments.
8:48 am
they imagined it would be brutal, the outcome uncertain. >> ooh. >> but after five days of climbing on sore limbs followed by freezing nights, they reached the top. >> this is my unit in afghanistan, 2010, airborne all the way. >> and there at the summit keys felt even closer to his fellow soldiers. >> and i'm going to leave a very special my purple heart for everybody that's been in the service. we owe you big time and we always, always, always appreciate it. >> his goal now, help others back home. >> welcome home, darling. >> thank you. >> so proud of now. >> it was a hell of a ride. >> and landing back in the u.s., news of his achievement spread
8:49 am
quickly in the airport. >> thank you. thank you. >> and keys got the recognition he never seeks but deserves. >> now adam isn't stopping there. he got back from the climb last weekend and then he traveled to chicago for the marathon there this past weekend. and now he's getting ready to compete in the new york city marathon next month. at the same time he's also raising money for wounded warriors through his facebook page. this is all part of an effort that he's calling one step forward. bianna. >> wow. i mean, what can't he do? >> he can do anything. now we all want to meet him, jan. >> we're all in a pool crying here on set because he's just incredible. >> to leave to purple heart there too, wow. we want to meet him, yes. >> thank you, jan. >> amazing. ahead, hear more of cbs this morning including extend interviews and original content on our podcasts. we'll be right back.
