still raging. hurricane irma batters florida with punishing wind, torrential rain and dangerous storm surge. damage and destruction, irma's power, shredding building's apart, leaving millions in the dark. and seeking shelter. new images from florida tonight as tens of thousands are hunkered down during the historic storm. >> nbc 10 breaking news. >> hurricane irma's wrath. unleashed on florida, wreaking havoc on everything in its path. good evening, everyone. i'm ted greenberg. tonight, hurricane irma is continuing to lash the state with destructive winds and

flooding. here's what we know right now. more than 3 million homes and businesses don't have power. search and rescue missions will start tomorrow morning with crews going door to door. the storm is making its way north after battering southern florida. here's nbc 10 national correspondent sarah from tampa. >> reporter: with winds topping 130 miles per hour, hurricane irma is roaring up the florida coast. a lengthy assault with no area seemingly safe. >> it was such a wild ride. >> reporter: flooding streets and daring rescues. a couple tried to ride it out on their sailboat. >> it's my home. i was doing everything i could to save it. and it got out of hand. >> reporter: the storm thrashed the florida keys, now closed to reentry. bridges and homes inundated by water. then ripping away to the mainland, topping cranes in

miami, tearing off roofs in sarasota, leaving millions without power. in tampa, waters pulled back dramatically ahead of expected storm surge. the area hasn't taken a direct hit in nearly a century. >> we know our number is coming. this is that day. we think we have a good plan, but you never know until you get into the middle of it. >> reporter: nowhere in the state spared, with a 400-mile wide storm with millions still in its path. >> for local residents with relatives and friends in florida, the wait to see what irma will bring has been agonizing. jen mortens said her dad, stem mop and two siblings were evacuated from their new modular home in lakeland. they took up shelter with her grandfather. she's watching and worrying from south philadelphia. >> there's nothing i can do from here to help them, and that in itself is another frustrating

feeling where i feel like all i can do is watch and hope they're okay. >> in asten, the martellas just escaped, getting one of the last flights out of sarasota. the winds caused at least two construction cranes to collapse in miami. there are more than 20 cranes still standing in the city. the equipment is able to sustain high winds, but it's the arm of the cranes that pose danger. city official s warned everyone living near the cranes to find shelter away from the construction. our coverage continues from the suburbs of miami, a city where 70% of residents don't have power. tim furlong spent the entire day there capturing irma's wrath and the damage it caused. >> reporter: so you might have heard hurricane irma went west of miami and "spared our area." here where we are, if this is sparing us, i don't know what to tell you. this is just the parking lot of

our hotel in miramar, west of miami. trees down. look at this part over here. just literally kind of ripped in half. over to this side, there are trees that were weakened by the rain and came up by the root ball. they're now blocking cars and the parking lot is koefred with debris. we also went driving tonight and looked at areas that had problems. we found obstacle courses out on the road and tree guts, if you will, palm frons everywhere. they have ponds around their houses and golf courses, so that water is way up. we're not really out of the woods yet. but you can see, even though the storm went west, we have a lot of problems here on the east coast of florida. tim furlong, "nbc 10 news." >> tim, thank you. irma not finished yet.

let's bring in meteorologist erika martin for a look at irma's impact and what's next for florida. >> what i like is that tim mentioned the east coast is being impacted greatly by irma, and that's because of the mere size of it. you can see here the outer bands of this massive hurricane moving northward across ft. pierce, orlando and daytona beach. this is what we call the outer band, and this is why we're seeing several tornado watches and warnings, and several funnel clouds that have touched down, officially tornadoes throughout the evening hours. now, tracking irma as it continues to work its way from south to north towards georgia, we can see by monday morning at 8:00 a.m., expected wind speeds 75 miles per hour. so at that point, it would have become or will become a category

1 hurricane for irma but it will continue to work its way northward through georgia, touching atlanta, going to the west of it as a tropical storm and eventually becoming a tropical depression as it continues to work its way north, westward, through the tennessee valley. so there's a lot more to come with hurricane irma. and we'll be tracking that for you. so follow us on social media @ nbcphiladelphia. coming up in just a bit, we'll talk about what to expect for your monday morning. the week does not start off that bad. nbc 10 has been bringing you continuous coverage of hurricane irma all day. and we'll continue to do that into tomorrow morning. but you can always get instant updates and alerts at any time with the nbc 10 app. new at 11:00, a man is in custody in connection with a deadly crash in philadelphia's taconey neighborhood.

tonight, atlantic city has to pay up millions to a man who was badly injured during an arrest. the resort settled an excessive force lawsuit, agreeing to pay him $3 million. this stems from his arrest outside the tropicana casino back in 2013.

he needed more than 200 stitches after he was bitten by a police dog. a grand jury ended up clearing the officers of any wrongdoing. running to remember. hundreds of men and women took part in the tenth annual 9/11 hero's run this morning. the event at cooper river park raises money for the travis man onfoundation. the organization provides families of fallen heroes and veterans the opportunity to heal through community service projects all over the world. in greenvilleage, there was vegan cooking demos and hybrid cars for people to try out. it was all part of the 12th annual green fest philly's celebration. the event draws thousands of people, all powered by solar panels.

florida, hurricane irma took a heavy kol toll on the caribbean. days later, people there still do not have power and there's plenty to clean up. more than a thousand miles from the u.s. mainland, residents fear help is not coming fast enough. nbc 10's andrea klein thomas shows us how one local organization is trying to change that. >> helping you inload and we'll weigh everything. >> reporter: her vehicle was stuffed with donated supplies to be sent to the virgin islands. >> a mountain of medical supplies. >> reporter: volunteers unloaded, tagged, and weighed each box and bog. >> there's a beautiful, magical community that couldn't possibly exist the way it does anywhere else in the world. it's gone. it's really hard.

>> reporter: when hurricane irma made landfall last week, st. thomas and st. john took the brunt of the storm's deadly wrath. winds topped 150 miles per hour. >> my friend's houses and boats, destroyed. it's a hard thing to wrap your mind around. >> reporter: days later, there's no power. cell phone service is scarce. debris is everywhere and safety continues to be a concern. >> we don't want to take away from what other people are going through in other parts of the world. but we don't want the virgin islands to be forgotten about. >> reporter: there's no forgetting at the northeast philadelphia airport, where two storage units are being filled, and more donations are on the way. >> we want to be there, but we're doing what we can. that's all. >> reporter: andrea klein-thomas, "nbc 10 news." more than 150 employees with new jersey's pse&g are heading to florida to help restore

animals. they have a comprehensive weather plan. tonight, central florida, including orlando, getting hit hard. >> oh, yeah. i'm so happy they're taking care of the animals, that's for sure, but they're getting hit really hard in central florida. orlando with several reports of tornadoes and watches. locally, however, we have to focus on how fortunate we are here. mostly clear skies, area of high pressure, keeping everything ideal for tonight. current temperature, 62 degrees. and we're seeing northwest winds at 3 miles per hour. in and around the philly metro area, seeing a chillier night in the forecast. 75 degrees, 5 degrees below the average of 80. but not that bad. we saw plenty of sunshine. bustleton at 60. parkwood at 58 degrees. and chestnut hill currently at

and it's not until tuesday until we see clouds from the southwest and northeast. it's really just clouds, i don't think we'll see showers. possibly a late sprinkle tuesday or late wednesday. but i'll leave us now with partly cloudy skies for your tuesday. the next three days look really nice. temperatures upper 70s for tuesday. and on wednesday, low 80s, and i do have developing clouds on wednesday, because as i mentioned, we very well could see some remnant moisture making it from the southwest to the northeast into our region here across the delaware valley. over the p.a. suburbs, 76 degrees, your expected high on tuesday. a pair of 7s on wednesday. lehigh valley, mid 70s on tuesday. adding the showers on wednesday. delaware, conditions are going to be nice. i do like this forecast, ted, because locally things look really nice, even though unfortunately, of course, here it is, tracking hurricane irma. category 2 right now, and we're

seeing several reports of tornadoes and this is just pretty much getting worse right now, because it's affecting the entire peninsula. >> amazing. just how large this hurricane is. >> it's massive. and even though a category 2 might not sound as bad as a 3 or 4, conditions are just rough all around. >> it is. thank you. here's dan. >> thank you very much. the eagles start the season with a big division win and they gave their head coach a gatorade bath, but why? why the players needed to win one for the coach and how the defense slammed the door on washington. that's next.

>> meteorologist erika martin continues to track hurricane irma's path. what's going on right now? >> right now, i stopped our satellite and radar loop to our current time, and you can see the outer bands right now of irma. that's what is affecting central florida, the east coast of florida. that's where our tim furlong is right now. and he was talking about how active and threatening the weather was. we're seeing several tornado warnings and watches that have beenish sh issued through sever parts of florida, orlando already getting several reports of tornadoes, as well. so this is what we're monitoring for. you do have to follow us on social media for more updates on that. in addition, download the free nbc 10 app for more updates. we'll keep you updated for the next several hours as irma continues to work her way from south to north across florida.

so right now, irma is currently a category 2 hurricane, and as it continues to work its way towards georgia, it will eventually become a category 1. it does not mean that it will not be just as threatening. we're seeing several reports of power outages. 3.5 million to 4 million people without power right now. so again, download that free app for updates. we'll continue working hurricane irma northward and see how it continues to work its way through the tennessee valley. now, i do think we're going to get some remnant moisture. notice right here on wednesday right around midnight. we start to see a southerly and southwesterly influence in the delaware valley. so we'll get some moisture late tuesday into wednesday. but for right now, i'm going to leave with us a mix of sun and clouds on tuesday, the same deal for wednesday. and we'll be track thing closely

for you. because right now it mainly looks like clouds. again, we very well could get some remnant moisture moving into our area. the ten-day forecast looks hike this. we'll keep it in the upper 70s on monday, no excuses tomorrow morning or later this morning. we do have a nice start to the day, even though it will be a little chilly. keep the jackets and the sweaters handy. we'll get warmer by tuesday into wednesday. 79 is the expected high on tuesday. wednesday, the expected high is 80. we'll keep it in the 80s for the next couple of days. even though we may see a little bit of a fluctuation. again, the big story right now is that even though hurricane irma is a category two, because of the mass and power, it's affecting the entire peninsula, and lots of power outages and lots of tornado warnings and in fact, funnel clouds.

>> more than 3.3 million customers in florida right now are in the dark. no doubt, that number will keep rising. we see what the storm is doing and continuing to do. now including central florida, the orlando area. a long night for a lot of people in florida. thank you for being with us. for all of us here, i'm ted greenberg. have a great weekend.
