it's moving northeast with top winds of 50 miles per hour. our team of correspondents has spread across the region and cbs evening news anchor jeff glor is leading our coverage from panama city beach, florida. jeff, good morning. >> good morning. this is a bit of what we're seeing across the florida panhandle this morning. we're in panama city beach, florida where we were hit by michael yesterday. this is a food mart and gas station, well, what was. the steel beams remain but much of rest of it in very bad shape this morning. as you know, the hurricane came ashore with winds topping out at 155 miles per hour. just 2 miles an hour short of a cat 5. today is all about getting outside to assess the damage that's been done and then trying to recover. with a howling merciless violence, hurricane michael sliced into the florida panhandle. the storm devastating coastal communities as the lowest pressure hurricane to strike the u.s. mainland since 1969.

>> we'll get through this together. hurricane michael cannot break florida. >> reporter: the destruction is wide spread. in panama city, the storm appeared to do its worst. some houses and businesses are unrecognizable. the roof of the school gymnasium, torn open. and an entire freight train pushed off the rails. sabrina marshall was inside her home as parts were torn away. >> the roof flew off. >> reporter: downed trees and tangled power lines have made streets unpassable. >> i was in a bunk, almost a bunker, and just prayers. >> reporter: at the air force base near panama city, the damage is extensive. an entire roof was stripped from an aircraft hangar. overturned trucks and debris litter the tarmac. the base commander ordered an evacuation on monday. michael made landfall in florida shortly before 1:00 p.m. hitting the tourist town of

mexico beach. powerful winds punished the coastline. ripping tops from buildings and sending them airborne. >> like a jet engine. i mean, the winds, just super, super high pitched. you could feel it in your ears, the pressure. >> reporter: officials say it could take months, if not years, to repair the damage. >> you've never experienced a hurricane or major storm, trust me, this is something you never want to go through. >> reporter: one of the big issues this morning is people do get out and about to figure out all the damage done and try to clean up, is the downed power lines. as we've seen, that is a major danger that a lot of folks here should be, are trying to watch out for. gayle. >> hey, jeff, we're hearing that hurricane michael was just two miles short of being a category 5. but now i'm thinking when it's that bad, is there a big difference between a 4 and a 5? what was it like for you guys riding out this storm? >> yes, two miles an hour is not

that much different. the most frightening thing when you are sort of hunkered down and you're inside a building or in lockdown there is the sounds. the screeches. the howls from the wind that's just trying to knock down every wall and window. when you're in the middle of it, it just seems like it's not going to end. >> i'm looking at the picture behind you. now that daylight is coming, are residents able to get in and start looking at the damage? has anybody showed up this early? >> they are, but they should certainly be safe driving around this morning. >> all right, jeff glor, thank you, talk to you a little bit later on. florida's governor says more than 1,800 rescue workers are already helping with the clean-up. the hardest-hit areas include the coastal towns of fort joe and mexico beach where michael made landfall. omar villafranca is in port st. joe which was cut off for hours

during the storm. >> reporter: it's tough to get around, but there are people who are starting to venture back. and this is what they're coming home to. and this is a residential area. we came across this house. windows are blown out. you're starting to see debris not only from the side of the home and the top but from other areas as well. pieces of trees downed in the front of the yard. there are trees down this street blocking some of the roads. you can go just across the street, you'll see this place, door open, windows are fine, but something of note, we talked to a resident who told us there was about four feet of water running through this neighborhood. we saw some of the water line. we were in port st. joe when michael was coming through. and the hotel we were at was shaking. the windows were shaking. it was a violent vicious wind that was blowing through. we wanted to see what some of that damage looked like. we also came across this. this is near the main drag. this is a burger king or was a burger king and now they're going to have to start cleaning

all of this up. >> we don't have radar. we don't have cell phones. >> reporter: after the eye wall passed port st. joe, those who road out the storm emerged to find the town shredded by the hurricane. >> thank god, we didn't try to take cover in this house. >> reporter: boats were pushed on shore. trees snapped in half by 155-mile-per-hour winds. power lines hung over roads and cars were crunched together by up to eight feet of storm surge. nothing was left unscathed. residents here didn't wait for help to arrive. neighbors were boats and trucks launched their own rescue efforts, going door to door to reach people stranded by high water. how long were you in there? >> 30 hours. >> reporter: jeff and his dog were picked up after four feet of storm surge flooded his home. jeff's st. done aunt donna said to rescue people nearby. >> people were in worst

situation, people with water in their home. he got his boat and they're trying to rescue them now. >> reporter: help is coming in from across the state. >> i got the call at 4:00 in the morning to set up and come. so i left my wife and my two kids at home. >> reporter: a caravan of fire crews are headed north to join the emergency teams already on the ground. p.j. parker and her dog bodhi are close behind. >> this is what we work for. this is what we want to do. this is what the dogs want to do. >> reporter: those crews from broward and miami-dade just got back from helping the folks in south carolina after hurricane florence. now they're immediately turning and heading over to the florida panhandle. no rest for them at all. the task in front of them is going to be pretty rough. that the business just behind us, we saw a gas crew pull up because they heard gas hissing. got a call. he came and shut it off. those crews are also going to come across downed trees. one thing we came across were some roads that were washed out. we were driving in the dark.

luckily our producer happened to see part of that road was gone and we all stopped and somebody else had obviously jumped over it. something we weren't going to do. dangerous conditions in the port st. joe area. nikki battiste is in bristol, florida, about 50 miles inland from port st. joe. she went to a shelter with other people getting away from the hurricane that ripped out trees and snapped telephone poles like twigs. >> reporter: good morning. you can see just how powerful this storm is. we were driving around this morning and this is the scene everywhere. trees have fallen on homes and power lines are down. just as this hurricane cass coming in yesterday, we were rushed out of our hotel and told to take cover in a shelter which is just down the street. people are just now leaving there. seeing this damage for the very first time. and hoping their homes are still standing. >> i'm crying. >> reporter: 4-year-old daniela

olvera began crying as she told us about the terrifying moment a tree fell on her family's mobile home. they all escaped and daniela's mother brought her and her sister to a shelter. you're here, your family's safe. what do you stand to lose back home? >> nothing. just material things that can be replaced. >> reporter: the olveras rode out the storm in the same shelter as our cbs news crew. we were reporting from florida's panhandle wednesday morning as hurricane michael closed in. we just had to leave apalachicola because the storm is coming in fast and furious. the water is rising quickly. there's debris along the roads as we're driving. >> reporter: after making the 80 mile drive to bristol, we watched from these windows as the storm pounded the shelter. >> i could sit in my front yard and see the bay so it would be a direct hit. >> reporter: dan hagerty also left april latch s aprialachico

his friends decided to stay. >> i'm worried about my buddies. if that surge is true, the whole town's under water. >> reporter: there are 41 shelters in florida housing about 8,000 people. of the 375,000 people told to evacuate, the red cross says it's probable about 320,000 never left. >> thank you very much. lonnie quinn, chief weather caster of our new york station wcbs tv. >> the storm is moving quickly. will cover a lot of real estate today. the winds are now at 50 miles per hour. you have a tropical storm. moving to the northeast at 21 miles an hour. center of circulation is right here. it's just now bumping itself into south carolina. about lunchtime, it will make its way into north carolina. some time later this afternoon, maybe early evening hours, it's exiting our coastline around the chesapeake. still probably is a tropical

storm. what about the rainfall it's putting down? columbia, south carolina, you're picking up a lot of rain. it's going to be from charlotte up to richmond, picking up about a 4 to 6 inch range. the area that got hit hardest with florence, wilmington, maybe a 1 to 2 inch range, so that's i guess a pretty good situation. then it will go south of the big cities, philadelphia, new york, maybe 2 to 4 inch, some flooding concerns there as well. then you do look around the wilmington area. the concern today will be tornadoes. there's a risk of that. >> you'll be watching that for us. thank you. the administrator brock long updated president trump in the oval office yesterday. administrator long joins us now from the agency's national response coordination center in washington with the latest on the federal response. good morning, administrator. this was a powerful -- >> good morning. >> -- and strong fast-moving strong. what has fema been able to access with regards to the damage? >> we were able to mobilize search and rescue teams into

hardest hit areas. we, like everybody are anxious for daylight, to be able to methodically move through and move as quickly as we can to fully estimate what just -- what's passed through. but the storm continues to batter south carolina, north carolina, unfortunately. we're going to see, you know, potentially 9 inches of rain in north carolina as it exits out today. so we're trying to move as quickly as we can and obtain access and search and rescue's our real focus now. >> have they begun yet, the search and rescue efforts? >> we were able to get teams in last night you know to do limited search and rescue. today, we will bring the full force of the federal government in as much as we can. >> we officially know of two deaths. do you know of any more? >> not at this point. but, you know, unfortunately, time will tell as to the true death toll. any time we lose one life, it's a life too many. but unfortunately, in these types of thing, as we go through and sift through damage,

ultimately those who didn't heed the warning particularly around the mexico beach area, we typically see deaths climb unfortunately. >> especially with a storm like this, only two days for people to prepare and evacuate. brock long, thank you. wall street is trading higher this morning, following one of its worst days of the year. the dow jones industrial average plummeted 831 points yesterday. its largest drop since february. the nasdaq suffered its biggest hit in more than two years. plunging 315 points. the losses were driven by investor concerns about rising interest rates. u.s./china trade confrontation also hurt tech stocks like apple and amazon. alphabet fell by almost 5%. despite the losses, major indexes are up by 12% over the past year. a new york man is in custody after the fbi foilled his alleged plot to detonate a bomb in washington, d.c. on election day. authorities removed a 200-pound explosive device from the home

of paul rosenfeld on wednesday. prosecutors say the 56-year-old planned to kill himself by blowing up the home made device on the national mall november 6th. rosenfield reportedly wanted to draw attention to the political ideology which advocates to random selection of government officials. the fbi was alerted by a pennsylvania resident who said rosenfeld has sent letters and text messages details his plan. president trump is demanding answers from saudi arabia, a close american ally, over missing "washington post" contributor. and several u.s. senators now want an investigation into the disappearance of jamal khashoggi. he vanished more than a week ago. holly williams has reported from saudi arabia for years. she is outside the saudi consulate in istanbul, turkey where khashoggi was last seen going in but never coming out. >> reporter: "the washington post" is reporting that before

jamal disappeared, u.s. intelligence may have intercepted communications, by saudi officials discussing plans to detain the journalist. a state department spokesman denied that the u.s. had any prior knowledge of his disappearance. a turkish neighbor published the names and faces of what it called an assassination team that entered turkey the same day khashoggi disappeared. turkish officials have told journalists they believe khashgi was murdered inside the consulate but provide nod conclusive evidence. saudi arabia has denied it. khashoggi was an outspoken critic of the government and the prince. president trump's son-in-law, jared kushner, has built a close relationship with the crown prince. if it is proven that the saudi government abduct order killed khashoggi, it will seriously complicate one of america's most

important relationships here in the middle east. >> quickly turning into a geopolitical crisis, thank you. well, an american and a russian headed for the international space station were suddenly forced to make an emergency landing this morning. ahead what went wrong with this national weather report sponsored by colgate.

it's thursday, october 11, 2018. welcome back to cbs "this morning." the cleanup from hurricane michael is likely to last for months. ahead, a check on conditions in the florida panhandle and georgia where michael hit harder than any hurricane in 120 years. plus, the conditions that allowed this storm to become such a monster. first, here's today's eye opener at eight. florida's panhandle is one huge disaster zone after catastrophic winds and devastating storm surge. >> winds topping at 155 miles an

hour, just two miles an hour short of a cat 5. >> the hotel we were at was shaking. the windows were shaking. it was a violent, vicious wind that was blowing through. >> this is the scene all across this area. trees have fallen on homes, power lines are down everywhere. >> columbia, south carolina, you're picking up rain but today it will be from charlotte to richmond, picking up a four to six-inch rain. >> these types of things as we sift through damage, those who didn't heed the warnings we see death climb, unfortunately. >> the "washington post" is reporting that before jamal khashoggi disappeared, u.s. intelligence may have intercepted communications by saudi officials discussing plans to detain the journalist. a woman was removed from a frontier airlines flight because of an unapproved emotional support squirrel. >> the other passengers were happy to see her go because the flight was delayed two hours. all the passengers had to get off the plane because of the squirrel which wouldn't have been a problem were it not for

53 emotional support dogs chasing it around the cabinet. what would your emotional support animal be? >> definitely a dog. but they that lady was not happy when she got off the plane. >> you think? she gave that i'm number one sign. she was not a happy camper. >> she was squirrely. hurricane michael is a tropical storm racing across the carolinas, but 27 million people are still under a tropical storm warning. michael is moving northeast with top winds of 50 miles per hour. it was the most powerful hurricane on record to hit the florida panhandle. the borderline category five storm left a trail of unprecedented destruction. so far, michael is blamed for at least two deaths. >> fema administrator brock long said it could take months or years for the hardest-hit areas to recover. florida governor rick scott tells our streaming network cbsn

both hospitals in panama city are destroyed so they are opening up temporary hospitals in that area. jeff glor road out the storm in panama city beach, florida. jeff, what was it like to be in the middle of this extraordinarily powerful hurricane with the wind? >> it was tense. the adrenaline rushes, the heart beats. it was an extended period of time where it felt like the hurricane just wanted to take down the building and all buildings in this area and we are getting a first look at parts of panama city beach and panama city in first light and it is not pretty. there is a lot of damage here. a lot of trees down. a lot of buildings badly damaged and people are starting to get out a bit and try to assess what it looks like. that assessment process is going to take a long time. the recovery -- you can see a gym right here where the roof was ripped right off and you can look at a drone shot of what

that looks like. that gives you a sense of the ferocity of hurricane michael, a storm that was a tropical storm three or four days ago and then went suddenly to category 2 and then suddenly to category 4 and essentially for all intents and purposes became a category 5. it just ran out of runway there at the very end but all of us were stunned to see how quickly it continued to develop and then what it did as it moved through. the only saving grace here being that it shot through so quickly and so while the recovery is going to take a long time, at least we're not dealing with heavy rain this morning, at least we're not dealing with that wind which we did for an extraordinarily extended period of time after hurricane florenc florence. >> that's what i was going to ask you, jeff. how do you compare the wind between michael and florence? is it the wind? and what are you seeing with the people showing up this morning.

i was curious about the comparison between the two hurricanes. >> the comparison for my sake, i'm not a meteorologist, but just for me watching these two develop is florence, the buildup, seemed like it was so long. it was days and days and you're seeing it in the atlantic as it comes in the north carolina coastline and it moves so slowly but it decreased in power and became a category one whereas hurricae michael just picked up in intensity and almost became the category five and shot through again so quickly. as far as the people getting out and about, they are just starting to wake up and figuring out what damage there is but it will be a long, long process. >> there's a lot of cleanup. thank you very much, jeff glor reporting from florida. michael was a major hurricane when it crossed into southwestern georgia last night. it's the most powerful storm ever recorded in that part of the state. it caused, as you see, widespread damage and one death, an 11-year-old girl was killed

when a tree fell on her home. more than 230,000 homes and businesses in georgia are still without power. mark strassmann is in roberta, georgia, where there's tornado damage from michael. good morning to you. >> good morning. one of the many ways hurricanes can be so destruct sieive is bee they spawn tornados. if you look at the sheared roof tops behind me, the tornado came through here swatting down trees and power lines and damaging homes. at least seven homes were damaged just in this rural neighborhood. it also rained all night in south and central georgia. 108 counties in georgia are under a state of emergency. that's nearly 70% of the state. power crews are assessing power losses and trying to restore power to the quarter million people without it. that will take days. i want to give you one more testimonial to the power of michael which made landfall 250

miles from where i'm standing. it still crossed into georgia as a category 1 hurricane. the last major hurricane to cross into this state was in 1898. >> wow, that's some time. the hurricane intensified so quickly it caught people off guard. its wind speed increased by 72% in just four hours. lonnie quinn of wcbs tv is here. lonnie, why so fast? >> i'm using this analogy, it's like the storm had eyes. i put together graphics to explain everything because you look at monday, monday it was south of cuba, it was a tropical storm two day withes later it's coming on shore as a category fo four. it was basically a category 5. look at the graphic i put together. it had to take the perfect track in order for this to happen. if it veers a little too much to the east it will encounter land.

hurricanes hate encountering land. if it tracks a little more to the west it's going to encounter that dry air, they hate dry air. either one would ruin that storm and it went right through the perfect track. so the first thing it had to do, it had to perfectly thread the needle of the ukraine cthe ukry. then it these avoid the dry air. that's highlighted and it looks like almost clouds to the west. that's dry air. if that gets infused into the storm, it's not the beast it will become. well, it doesn't touch that dry air. then it these take a track that puts it over the warmest water that the gulf of mexico offers. it's running four degrees above average and it does just that and it can not encounter the peninsula of florida. now it makes landfall around mexico beach and if you look at this we tell the strength of the storm by the eye wall. look how perfectly form that is.

it looks like a dime coming on shore. >> all i know, lonnie, it was a category 1 and then it seems like we blew through category 2 and three and then went to category 4. >> we did go through them but it happened in such a short period of time. as of late, we've been watching these storms stall, meander. this never stalled. from the time i've been with you guys. i first came on board it was a tropical storm. it's never moved any slower than 10 to 13 miles per hour in terms of its forward progress. so it covered real estate quickly. >> people get used to having five days to prepare. this one, 48 hours is already here. >> two days the best folks had. >> lonnie quinn, thanks a lot. ahead in our more perfect union series, we'll take you to a differ

dysfunction, but the love within the dysfunction. >> knees acute moments excavate all the history and relationship, it all comes back into one moment. >> isn't it crazy no matter how old you get you go back home and you fall back into that role that you were? and you're like how is this happening? i said i would hold on to myself this time but in this case the character, she's like how am i this when i feel like i've evolved? it's just interesting. >> how's your father doing by the way? >> he's great, thank you so much. he's healthy, he's independent again, he's back to his life, and so much so that he was able to walk me down the aisle. >> we saw that picture. i don't know if we can put it back up. >> thank you. it was a big, big moment. i cried before i even got up to the altar. i was like i'm not going to have any makeup. >> you were part of getting him there, right, being at his side?

>> that's what you do. he was there for me when i was a kid. that's interesting how roles reverse. >> what was that like reversing the roles? did that hit you and say okay they are and you march forward? >> you're not thinking about it until people ask and talk about it. obviously it's a big responsibility. you're their health advocate and helping them make decisions for what's best for them and thankfully it ended up well. >> but we had laughter in the oddest places bas we had a scene where your mom is great in this movie, she's going through alzheimer's and at one point she hits on her son. i'm thinking are we supposed to be laughing at this. >> yes. >> but those are the kind of things that happen. >> that's the same side of the coin, laughing and crying, it's a release. oftentimes i can be crying and then fall into laughter. it's a release and i think you have to find levity, especially within circumstances like this wherever you can. and i know elizabeth's family the writer director they deal
