says the system has strengthened into a category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 150 miles per hour. ida is expected to make landfall this afternoon. she arrives on the 16th anniversary of hurricane katrina. jack royer joins us now live from new orleans where residents and leaders are preparing for the worst this morning. jack. >> no. well, you know, those wind speeds one 50 what's expected to make it a category 4. that's just 6 miles an hour sustained winds away from being a cat 5. so there is great concern this morning about this storm and what it brings with it. a look behind me at these trees blowing. this will give you a decent idea of the wind. this is nothing compared to what this storm is going to pack when it makes landfall in just a few hours. but you can see people are still walking down the streets. some people have chosen to evacuate. others are saying, you know what, we're going to stay put and ride this thing out across the street that you can tell by everything. how severe the wind is. and we'll tell you it's it's up and down right

now. we've seen sheets of rain at times and other times like now it's pretty dry. and just windy. so they're getting ready for this. take a look at the french quarter just a short time ago on this sunday. not many people out. we were just down on canal street walking around. there are not many doing anything besides taking it all in really we spoke to a few folks. one guy said he didn't have any renters insurance. so we wanted to be here to make sure his stuff was ok, he sent his family to evacuate, though they were among the many we saw in bumper to bumper traffic headed out of town yesterday when the mayor said there was simply not enough time to order an evacuation of new orleans, but she was urging people to still leave while they can. as you can tell, there are plenty of people have decided not to leave. some of them say they have to stay here and work other say just bring it on. i did. they're ready to take on this cat 4 powerful storm even as leaders and first responders warned this could be and likely will be very dangerous. noel. >> jack, i know new orleans and the state of louisiana has been dealing large covid-19

outbreak. i know that that's a concern of officials as well. >> it is indeed there is beefed up staffing at local hospitals here to be ready for the possibility of injuries related to this storm for one. and there are many people from out of this area asking why didn't they move hospital patients. why didn't they evacuate them? the short answer is hospitals in neighboring states in this region are also overwhelmed as our louisiana's with covid-19 patients. so grave concern from leaders from locals, from pretty much everybody about what could lie ahead in the next 2448 hours and pass that jack, why no, we'll check in with you again in the next hour. thanks for that live report. >> with a close look at ida. we're turning now to meteorologist dave spahr. he's been tracking the storm, dave about how much time do the folks there in new orleans well as new orleans because maybe a little longer because the first has to make landfall. that's the first order business which is defined as the eye completely

over land. now before it is. you can see how hanselman well together it's that tend to be the tropical systems when they're over water. they're very stable. >> but when they go over land to become somewhat more unstable. so that means for all of this region of the country unstable severe weather is going to be what you can expect over the next 48 hours as this thing falls apart. now for now, of course, we're dealing with a cap for system. as you heard the eyewall still out to sea. a reporter was talking about a fairly dry. you can see kind of this line of relatively modest activity. there's a squall line venturing towards the north might make it up there within the next couple of hours while he still talking to us this morning. they're 2 hours ahead. so the next report will be coming out in about 2 hours. here's what we know now. max winds one 50's you talked about the pressure 9.30. that's pretty low that what you're going to get with the storm system like this. remember, it's not the pressure that makes it stronger. it is stronger there for its pressure is lower. typically cap for watching this go forward here dropping to a category one very

quickly. so okay. it's a modest hurricane at that point. but then you start dealing with severe weather all over the place. tore nato's bad weather extending, as you can see through central alabama up through mississippi and it's going to go right up the spine of the appalachians on the eastern side where most of the rough weather will be in. this is going all the way tuesday, fast mover. that's good. so won't be over. new orleans for a long period of time. however, you can see severe weather will follow it all through the southeast back on the home front. this is u c berkeley. i there's the shrubbery there. as you can see, the fog taking over a lot of geography for now. golden gate bridge still shrouded in some of that fog. so we're going in the right direction. getting this marine layer coming back ever so slightly. there's little bit of a breeze left over from last night's single digits. they were all calm yesterday morning. but single digits for this of this morning. now we'll see a little uptick this afternoon, but a stronger wind. we'll have to wait for by tomorrow. looks like a little bit. that will tell us that things are really starting to change in our favor, lower 60's cover a lot of the east bay 60 for oakland 59 hayward got 50's up

to the north bay. for now. oh, by the way, speaking of those winds is what happens this afternoon and kind of a modest event we get with that inland heating. it's still going to be plenty toasty happening in london. but by tomorrow a little bit better. wind event occurring as we get into the influence of the high is waning. temperatures will back off a little bit. we'll start to get more of that on shore flow. 72 for san francisco. that's a big improvement from yesterday open 79 at the ballpark. it's going to be much better tomorrow today than yesterday and 88 san jose still got those big hot numbers off to the east bay near 100 expected for a lot of the east been up to the north bay upper 80's to near about 90 or so. we're back in a bit with more kron 4.

some friends who are veterans who say that their friends who served in afghanistan are really having a tough time figuring out what their purpose was over there. and that's hard to think that that yes, that's really difficult. there. the feeling very angry frustrated and like you said, feel kind of questioning their purpose. >> so morale is in it. it is isn't at all time low. and it's it's very troubling. the crisis line. the veterans crisis line compared to last year at this time. it's up 17% in the number of calls and just 12% increase in in one day, august 16th the day after kabul fell to the taliban. yes, yes. yeah. and there's also a nonprofit organization called stop soldier. suicide. and they said that in the last 2 weekends, their calls went up 90% and 60% respectively.

really really troubling so trying to reach out to our veterans. it's one of the best things that we can do. well, i think something that you also mentioned here isolation just because of covid-19 has acted as a significant issue as well. on top of all of us. >> right. i veterans are used to being in working with their brothers and sisters. >> and and when they come back, that's one of the things that they have difficulty with, you know, trying to assimilate again because that they're alone and then you put covid on top of that and they're really alone. a lot of my patients are alone and they don't have anybody else. so it's really difficult for them. and then you put this all on top of it. it's it. they're having a really difficult time. karen, i know as you mentioned, you do work with veterans. what can we say?

>> so it is ok to reach out and and. >> don't ask them, you know, what did you do in afghanistan be very general. like how how are you doing? you know, right now with everything going on. >> and they, you know, don't expect an answer. some. >> want to open up and that they see that as an opening to to talk. >> but there also those that are battle hardened. >> and they don't want to talk about it or they feel they don't need to talk about. it's a bit, but just don't press the issue but just open that door reach reach out to 2 year veteran and try not to let it get political that that's just leave that out of it and then one of the things you don't want to say is, oh, i can imagine how you must feel are really understand because where civilians we have no idea what they've gone through. so that's not real

comforting but just be a really good listener. >> i think that's great. you know, reminding them again that their service was meaningful. >> yes, their service and their sacrifice in what i see. they really sacrificed their health to be, you know, to give us our freedom. you know, freedom is not free and they are because of them. they sacrificed and they made it all possible for what we have here. >> if you come across a veteran who is considering hurting themself. how do you approach that situation. >> so it's and it's okay to ask them, you know, have you had thoughts of hurting yourself. it's not going to plant the seed. you know, it's okay to say that and ask that because then you're opening up a very honest open conversation and then refer them to the veterans crisis line. they started this crisis line in 2000, 7

>> for 14 responders and 4 lines. now they have 500 responders and 3 call centers all across the nation. >> that the need for our veterans to talk and be heard. is really has really increased exponentially want to keep these up on the screen for just a bit of people at home want to write down these numbers. >> that the tax number or or that website i do want to ask you if you have a veteran in your life. what signs should we be looking for when it comes to identifying whether or not they're in a crisis. >> so look for changes in mood in sleep patterns also at that height, the might also look >> if they're angry and they're they're harboring a lot of anger. >> any changes in interest in maybe something they really interested in doing before in all said and they're apathetic that's also sign of that that

trend in crisis and then excessive guilt, shame and sense of failure, which is what a lot of our veterans are feeling right now because of what's happening in afghanistan you know. you said crisis line it. it's there. 24 7 you can text veterans can text or they can online. talk to someone online chatting or talk to someone on the phone, but they there are. they're there to support our veterans. karen, thank you so much for this. again, just reach out to any veterans that and are in your life. those who specifically fought in afghanistan or because it's better to to lend a hand and lend a listening ear than to just leave them be. >> right. exactly. thank you, karen. thank you so much.

bourbon street goes that way. we're right in the thick of it that you can see few people are out if any. some people are out driving trying to find where they're going to stay safe today. a lot of places are installing these makeshift flood barriers, especially businesses with glass doors trying to prevent water from coming in here, something interesting to note that we've been talking to folks who live and work here who say this is a tourist area. this is a place that is that the pride of new orleans and a lot of ways they feel confident that the city will do what they can. they say the flooding usually goes away pretty quickly here because city leaders like to keep it looking nice best. they can whether or not that's trut. we'll have to see that the city of new orleans has a pumping system to get water out 96 of 99 pumps are working fully functional. so that's giving great confidence to people who live here as you can see, those sandbags still as a precaution for many some out and about we've got people still walking the streets at this hour. even though the rain is coming in sheets and in waves really the wind is certainly picking up 2. we

were just on a side street and in between those buildings, it's sometimes hard to stand up. this is much different than what we saw earlier today in the french quarter. take a look at some video we found of. how the conditions word this morning. you can it's very different in the french quarter this morning. still, those conditions. >> symbolic of what's to come with hurricane back here on canal street. the wind is coming in waves. it's starting to blow a little harder now. but meteorologists that we've been speaking to today as we work meteorologists around the country to watch the conditions of the storm said the wind we're seeing now nothing compared to what we'll see this afternoon with upwards potentially of a 150 miles an hour and well. >> well, and you said earlier that that is a few miles per hour below what a cat 5 would be. >> correct. and that's the fear of a lot of people who rode out hurricane katrina in this city that was 16 years

ago today. they have a lot of confidence, though, in the levee system here in the improvements. they've made since that day. you can tell, though, i mean, look at the flags. we get these palm trees will. let's let's take a look at these flags already sort of tattered from how heavy the rains have been. how hard this wind has been. it's about 10:15am, in the morning here in new orleans and. it's the start of a very long day, very long, 24 hours, unlikely days ahead to come. >> jack, thank you for that live report. we're turning now to meteorologist dave spahr with a look. he's been tracking the storm. the eye getting dangerously close. now to landfall. dave. yeah. good morning to welcome morning, everybody. just eyeballing it looks like other reporters about 75 miles 60 miles or so from where the eye is. you can see and one of these squall lines just about to strike him. he was dealing with some relatively fair weather before by hurricane standards. >> and there's more, as you can see, upstream, the heavier stuff east side of the storm, lighter stuff on the west side. that's very typical.

also and no, i was just talking about this off here here when you take a look at it. it's very handsome. well put together almost like a symphony. and that's the case when they're over water. that's the case. the go over land. they become unstable unstable type of weather. we're familiar with out another form things such as tornadoes and so forth. all these yellows you see tornado watches for when it makes landfall extending to the florida panhandle back to item. max winds. one 50 new report comes up next hour. by the way, the pressure 9.33 that's pretty low. but look lack. it's already a tropical storm by monday morning at 07:00am so good news on that front. also that it moves quickly get out of new orleans. their get out of their stop. the flooding and start moving north. however you can see the severe weather will follow it all the way up to tennessee later on by the middle of the week back on our home front. here's the east bay shoreline kind of a line here where the fog is above it kind of hazy sunshine here. billy says not colored. it's more like the blue that we have. it's starting to come back a little bit. golden gate

bridge still shrouded in all that fog as you will notice, wind check a single digits for the most part, a little bit more of a breeze happening around the delta good direction. we like an on shore. drift 60's cover. most of the east bay real estate 73 for antioch 50's up to the north bay. 58 san francisco 65 san jose. but going forward this afternoon just like yesterday. we'll probably see the winds a slight uptick than what we saw yesterday. but building on that for tomorrow. a little bit stronger of an onshore wind. we like this works on tandem cools us off. pushes all that polluted air way and we get some help a lot as this high pressure system starts to break down 72 san francisco 79 for oakland. so for the a's game today, it's almost going to be a different season 88 san jose as it's hazy and warm but still looking at numbers near 100 in the far east bay today. we'll do 80's and 90's up to the north. 4 zone forecast coming up in a bit. you keep it here. the kron 4 morning news continues.

with some ways to reach out to our veterans in a loving and supportive way can i'm really looking forward to chatting with you about this because i've even spoken with some friends who are veterans who say that their friends, who served in afghanistan are really having a tough time figuring out what their purpose was over there. and that's hard to think that that yes, that's really difficult. there. the feeling very angry frustrated and like you said, feel kind of questioning their purpose. >> so morale is in it. it is isn't at all time low. and it's it's very troubling. the crisis line of the veterans crisis line compared to last year at this time. it's up 17% in the number of calls and just 12% increase in in one day, august 16th the day after kabul fell to the taliban. yes, yes. yeah. and there's

also a nonprofit organization called stop soldier. suicide. and they said that in the last 2 weekends, their calls went up 90% and 60% respectively. really to really troubling so trying to reach out to our veterans. it's one of the best things that we can do. well, i think something that you also mentioned here isolation just because of covid-19 has acted as a significant issue as well. on top of all of us. >> right. i veterans are used to being in working with their brothers and sisters. >> and and when they come back, that's one of the things that they have difficulty with, you know, trying to assimilate again because that they're alone and then you put covid on top of that and they're really alone. a lot of my patients are alone and they don't have anybody else. so it's really difficult for them. and then you put this

all on top of it. it's it. they're having a really difficult time. karen, i know as you mentioned, you do work with veterans. what can we say? >> so it is ok to reach out and and. don't ask them, you know, what did you do in afghanistan be very general. like how how are you doing? you know, right now with everything going on and they, you know, don't expect an answer. some. >> want to open up and that they see that as an opening to to talk. >> but there also those that are battle hardened. >> and they don't want to talk about it or they feel they don't need to talk about. it's a bit, but just don't press the issue but just open that door reach reach out to 2 year veteran and try not to let it get political that that's just believe that added bit and then one of the things you

don't want to say is, oh, i can imagine how you must feel are really understand because where civilians we have no idea what they've gone through. so that's not real comforting. but just be a really good listener. i think that's great. and all of, you know, reminding them again that their service was meaningful. >> yes, their service and their sacrifice in what i see. they really sacrificed their health to be, you know, to give us our freedom. you know, freedom is not free and they are because of them. they sacrificed and they made it all possible for what we have here. >> if you come across a veteran who is considering hurting themself. how do you approach that situation. >> so it's and it's okay to ask them, you know, have you had thoughts of hurting yourself. it's not going to plant the seed. you know, it's okay to say that and asked that because then you're opening up a very honest open

conversation and then refer them to the veterans crisis line. they started this crisis line in 2000, 7 >> for 14 responders and 4 lines. now they have 500 responders and 3 call centers all across the nation that the need for our veterans to talk and be heard. is really has really increased exponentially want to keep these up on the screen for just a bit of people at home want to write down these numbers. >> that the tax number or or that website i do want to ask you if you have a veteran in your life. what signs should we be looking for when it comes to identifying whether or not they're in a crisis. >> so look for changes in mood in sleep patterns also at that height, the might also look >> if they're angry and they're they're harboring a

lot of anger. >> any changes in interest in maybe something they're really interested in doing before. in all said and they're apathetic that's also sign of that that trend in crisis and then excessive guilt, shame and sense of failure, which is what a lot of our veterans are feeling right now because of what's happening in afghanistan you know. you said crisis line it it's there. 24 7 you can text veterans can text or they can online. talk to someone online chatting or talk to someone on the phone, but they there are. they're there to support our veterans. , karen, thank you so much for this. again, just reach out to 3ny veterans that and are in your life. those who specifically fought in afghanistan or because it's better to to lend a hand and

lend a listening ear than to just leave them te. >> right. exactly. thank you, karen. thank you so much. people today... they could spend half their lives over 50. i could get used to this. so that's good. make sure your happiness lives as long as you do. that's why the younger you are, the more you need aarp. join today. at usaa, we've been called too exclusive.
