an hour on a course with terurk and caicos. after that, florida. it's beginning to look more and more like that turn. that much-needed turn to keep it off of land. it's not going to happen fast enough. so still 175 mile an hour winds. and now up to 40 miles south of grand turk. so we're going through the turks and caicos. we're not going to go through the bahamas. probably the cone is going to keep it off of the mountainous areas of cuba. the far southern part would be there. this would be sunday morning. then we go up the coast and it stays over land. and that is going to be up in the northern portion perhaps of florida by some time on monday

in the afternoon. then continuing on up into georgia. this is a new cone that is shifting further west. in my experience, with 48 hours out, the cone starts shifting west rarely does it adjust east. so this is very bad news for florida. it looks like it will be a direct hit. but we will keep you updated. anywhere in this cone, let's hope. just go to the weather page. you can open up the interactive radar there and click on the layers. you're watching it there on your. turn on the storm track or the tropical layers and you can see exactly the path that irma is expected to take. and where it is now. >> we're starting to see the pictures of the the damage that irma left behind in st. martin. i want to show you exact ly whee we're talking about. the hurricane is right about here.

>> very deceiving. we all know it's coming. you can see more and more evidence of how they are preparing their sandbags. all the signs in hollywood beach. you need to get out of here. that being said, there's a lot of people here. police are saying at some point, we're not going to come back and try to get you so you need to get out. a lof of businesses have taken precautions. this had a big awning and it's connected by thousands of zip ties. they have taken all those down. this over here behind this piece they have here is a fountain. that fountain has been closed off. all the water lines and drain lines have been sealed and lifeguard towers have been locked down. i asked the lifeguard earlier. what happens if one of the strong winds what will happen. i don't know. so that's what we're dealing with here as everybody worries

about what's going to come in the next 48 hours or so. it's images like these fueling the hurricane irma's first victims. destruction in puerto rico and a million people left without power. after a glancing blow from the storm that's setting sights on the bahamas. >> could see weakening as it interacts with land and into higher wind sheer, but ir ma is going to remain a dangerous hurricane for the second several days. >> residents across southern florida get out. >> we're evacuating. potential tidal surge could be 12 feet. you saw what happened in houston. >> reporter: an exodus that's clogging roads in florida leaving stations without gas. >> we know fuel is very

here when the storm goes by. >> quick question for you. you have been driving around all day. we saw quite a few people in your live shot there is on the beach going by. surprising to us, is that surprising to you or does it appear a lot of people are going to be evacuating later? >> reporter: if you look over here, you can see people on the beach. with their coolers and umbrellas just like at the delaware beaches or jersey shore. people are treating it like a beach day. hollywood beach is usually way more crowded than this, but some people are just treating it like another day and prepare or we're just going to everyone goes by, we have to wonder what are you going to do if it gets bad here. police are saying they are not going to get you. some people here say we're going to stay. a lot of people the ones who

went through hurricane andrew are the ones that left. the people that didn't go through are the ones saying, maybe it won't be that bad. i don't know. >> thanks, tim. across the state of florida, traffic is building. people trying to e evacuate the state. this is a traffic camera is perfect evidence outside o'call la. look at that. all stacked up. all the people on the road means a big increase in gas demands. pumps are running dry in the sunshine state. this is video from miami-dade county where people got in line early hoping to fuel up.

73 in philadelphia. 68 in coatesville. there's. some shower activity way in the distance. and this is further west. so it is not the warmest of days around our area. you can see on the doppler radar things are pretty quiet out there. we have a few clouds that have built in. we have this area of low pressure centered over the great lakes. now it's beginning to shift ever so slowly to the skpooes could bring up. wrap around sprinkles. this was the driving force between us and that line of showers that moved through yesterday. and so those are long gone. but now we may get some of the sprinkles from the main body of the storm. that's going to help to push ever so slightly that area of high pressure that is staring irma. we are waiting for this big trough out west to do the job for us. then just to irma on that hard

turn and hopefully away from the united states. this may have slowed down a little and that area of high pressure is just so strong. so it is probably not going to arrive in time to actually avoid a landfall with florida. we'll look at that in a moment. but right now, we have winds out of the west. a cool night tonight. down into the 50s tonight. kind of crisp. an early look at fall. we'll see a chance of the sprinkles, but we'll be partly sunny and temperatures in the low to mid-70s. that goes into saturday as well. saturday will be a cool one around 7 1 degrees. the latest has 175 mile an hour winds. it's still plowing on off to the west right toward florida. here are all of the models. haul these you can see they take it through tampa, miami, right up the east coast of florida. but you don't see them spreading
