transportation is available. >> hundreds of americans sit shoulder to shoulder inside a military cargo plane. refugees from the chaos on the caribbean island of st. maarten. they were flown day and night by the air national guard after enduring the wrath of hurricane irma. devastation as far as the eye can see. some of the exhausted civilians managed to get shut-eye on the flight. they were relieved to be back on u.s. territory. irma continues to cause chaos as the storm heads inland. and there was anger and frustration as authorities blocked the only road to the hard hit florida keys. >> i have water, i have food, i have dogs. and i can't get to my house. >> this should have been thought out. >> right now we don't know where to go. >> stretches of the highway were open today. as millions fled from the path of irma, many left behind

frightened pets. some were even left tethered to trees or porches. >> dozens of pets were rescued during the storm. pets that were left to fend for themselves. now they're here getting the proper care and hopefully a new home. >> this little guy was not just abandoned. he was also found injured in the storm. and has had surgery. >> this is really disappointing to see people leave without taking their pets with them. >> and look at this. former university of florida quarterback tim tebow visited a shelter in jacksonville and was by a world war ii vet. >> nice moment. for survivors of the storm, the new reality is getting along without power. 5million people have no electricity across five states thanks to hurricane irma. so they are faced with keeping the food last and keep the families safe until the lights come back on. >> millions of people in florida and all over the southeast have no electricity.

no lights or air-conditioning. but worst of all, no way to keep food from spoiling. >> the priority is to eat food that you know is safe. >> now we're getting practical advice on how to deal with this crisis from red cross spokesman craig cooper. fortunately the family in miami shores has a generator. but it is expected to run out of fuel today. >> once you lose power, you really only have about four hours in your refrigerator and things spoil. so things like the milk, cheese, get them into the freezer. because the freezer, if you don't open and close it, things can stay in the freezer for up to 48 hours. >> another tip, don't rush to eat canned food. >> these are the things, let's say, that you would eat last. and it is thing like canned fish, tuna, you're a fan of sardines. good for you. that is the type of thing that you can open up the can and eat. that is the type of thing that you can wait on.

>> an outdoor grill can be a life-saver. >> if you bring out a pot of water as long as the water is clean, you can boil the water, put pasta into it. vegetables you can cook. grilled vegetables are wonderful to eat. >> no power means no lights at night. here is a safety tip. >> push furniture like this to the side of the room so you have a clear path. it is easier for the kids. and it makes things safer for everybody. >> good advice for our fellow americans who find themselves today without power. >> deborah: we're told it will be weeks before days before power is restored in many areas because in many places before the power can be put back on, the grid has to be rebuilt. this sunday marks this sunday's emmy's awards with stephen colbert as the host. he spoke with our jim moret about the buzz that he might be taking some shots at president trump in between the opening of
