>> christa: and at noon, breaking news. hurricane mapt you charging along the coast of florida. this category three storm is it has those winds. destructive winds heading northwest. at 12 miles per hour. right now, the sunshine state is feeling the wrath of the storm. huge winds sending sheets of metal flying and pushing big heavy dumpsters into the streets here. fast roof even blowing off a building. >> kris: one of those big dangers, the flying debris, torrential rain, and powerful winds forcing people out of their homes. this is a look at daytona beach. the streets have been emptied.

hundreds of thousands without power. >> reporter: the eye of hurricane matthew is just east of us. this storm has arrived here in daytona beach. we are seeing the wind gusts come in waves. if you take a look at where i'm standing right now. we will show you some damage here. part of the roof has been blown off this building. there is some debris as well. there are some downed trees. this is the front of our hotel. the worst of the storm has yet to come. many people are preparing for yet another wave of hurricane matthew. sunrise but no slowdown in

>> let's remember, the storm has only passed half our state. this is not over. >> reporter: the eye expected to move dangerously close to shore as the storm marches northward along florida's east coast. bringing the heavy rain at high tide and raising the risk and fears of catastrophic storm surge. >> we are very concerned ability storm surge. and the worst effects are still likely to come. >> reporter: overnight, hurricane matthew battered florida. the massive storm brought damaging winds and drenching rain. somewhat lessened with the eye remaining well offshore. still at times, wind gusts were so strong, first responders had to get themselves to safety. power lines ripped from their poles across the region. transformers exploding, leaving hundreds of thousands without power. meantime, many are riding out the storm in shelters. hundreds of pets housed with their owners, still unsure when they are able to go back home. meteorologists say off-shore

dangerous. >> if you are in an area that has been told to evacuate and the authorities are telling you that you still have time to evacuate, i want to personally plead with you to get out right now. >> reporter: millions still at risk as hurricane matthew churns in the atlantic. as we wait for the worst of the storm to pass, there is a curfew in place. that went into effect at midnight. reporting live in daytona beach, back to you. >> christa: has it seemed to you that most people have heeded the warnings and gotten out? is that what you are seeing? >> yeah. you know, we were listening to local officials this morning. they told us that 44,000 people are in shelters here in volusia county. that encompasses daytona beach. they were saying they have never had that many people in a shelter.

had here on daytona beach. that is a sign that people are heeding the warnings. as you can see, there aren't any cars on the road. we have seen a couple of them. but there are people patrolling, officers patrolling the streets to make sure that people who live here are abiding by that curfew. to make sure they stay safe. >> kris: sarah, the storm has been hitting you for hours now. is it coming in waves or has it been pretty steady? how have you seen it intensify and change over the past few >> i would say it's coming in waves. so i mean, it is definitely strong. but at times, you feel stronger gusts than others. if you take a look at where i'm standing right now, you can see this is just another band of rain that is passing through. there is actually a car that's driving on this street. i can see it. i don't think we can see it yet with our camera. it is going ever so slowly down the street. we were in that position an hour ago. we were trying to find a

we couldn't even drive down the street. there was a wind tunnel. it wasn't safe. you can see, take a look here. this is the car that is passing by. not a wise thing to do. local officials trying to make sure that people stay off the streets. >> christa: that is always the biggest danger. flying debris. thank you so much for your report. as you see there, they are seeing t now and into the overnight hours as well. >> kris: we have seen it hug the coast there. it has not made landfall? >> chris: no. technically, the mid-point of the eye has to cross over land. that is not the case. the eye wall, the western side of the eye wall has been very close to the east coast of florida. occasionally, when that eye wall wobbles back and catches the coastline, you get a gust near 100 miles an hour. we saw it across cape

beach and points south, the barrier islands had some wind gusts close to one hundred. day know no beach itself, port orange, this is just beginning to see some of the western edge of the eye wall relax off of it. i'm willing to bet you, sarah, stronger winds, a half an hour or an hour ago with some of these bursts that came through. the western edge of the eye wall pinwheeled back. you note the motion. it is still parallel to the coastline. this hurricane has been parallel on the it has worked its way up florida. the silver lining to the storm system here is that the eye hasn't moved on shore. because then you drag in the strongest winds with the eye wall. especially the northeastern side. this is a bad storm. there is going to be damage. we are still concerned about the storm surge. along the coastline of northeastern florida, georgia, and south carolina. but it wasn't the worst-case scenario for much of the east coast of florida.

including melbourne itself. the strongest winds have been along the space coast. points north toward daytona beach. saturday, category one. close to the carolina coastline. then this bends back around. and it getsed forced back toward the bahamas. in a much weakened state. but it will get forced back to the south by high pressure. that high pressure builds in our forecast for the weekend. just slight shower chance out there. we will talk more on that ahead. >> kris:ll more than half a million people now without power. one person has died. crews are being sent to the hardest-hit areas first. >> christa: president obama spoke about the situation a little while ago. nancy chen is in the newsroom. >> nancy: 600,000 homes are without power in florida. 24 million people are under a storm watch or warning. the first hurricane-related death has now been confirmed in the state as the storm batters its coast. debris tossed around the road.

moves along the florida coast. waves crashing on to beaches with relentless wind. the tide taking over north there at st. augustine beach. president obama from the white house urging people to obey orders from local officials to evacuate, saying storm surge is now the top concern. >> many of you will remember hurricane sandy. where initially, people thought this doesn't look as bad as we thought. and then suddenly, you get massive storm surge and a lot of people were severely affected. >> nancy: the death toll from the storm jumped again this morning as crews beganned to survey the devastation. reaching nearly 500 in haiti alone. the first death in florida related to hurricane matthew was also confirmed this morning. a woman who died from a heart attack shortly after emergency crews ceased operations because of treacherous

>> it could be the worst part of this, still to come. look, i'm really concerned about jacksonville. i'm concerned about nassau. over ten-foot of storm surge on top of the waves. that is a very low-lying area. on top of the fact that we still have the potential for a direct hit. >> nancy: it is not over yet. the next stop for matthew is south carolina. the governor of the state just giving an update, urging residents there to eva if they have not done so already, like bye, evacuations now under way in savannah, georgia. nancy chen, 7 news. >> kris: all right, nancy. thanks so much. to track the latest on hurricane matthew's path, go to our web site at whdh.com. if you are on the go, download the 7 news mobile and tablet apps. we are following breaking news now this noon out of arlington. two people have been rushed to the hospital after a car f plowed into their house. >> christa: a van that was parked up the street rolled down into this house.

more: steve? >> reporter: christa, this was one wild ride. we are going to show you what happened here today. because a van was parked up at the top of the hill on sunset road this morning. as a chimney-sweeper pulled his van up on the hill. he didn't put the emergency brake on. that is when the van started rolling down the street before crashing into this house. but that man and another worker tried to jump in the van and stop it from crashing into the house. that is when they were hurt. >> it was bizarre. a bar >> reporter: jonathan can't believe what happened really happened here in arlington this morning. a run-away van slammed into the stairs outside his house. >> it was a chimney sweep van. i guess it was going to serve as a house up the hill there. and the e-brake... from what i have heard, the brake didn't stick. and the van rolled. unattended. yeah.

my wife had just left for work. the bus stop is right up the street. she could have been walking down, and who knows? >> reporter: through the morning, a building inspector was busy checking out the damage. police were piecing together the details of what happened. >> strange incident. it is such a quiet street. it is such... it is hard to contemplate could crash into these stairs. >> reporter: incredibly no, one was seriously hurt here. >> it is a little bit of an inconvenience. hopefully, everybody is all right. >> reporter: all right. the injuries were described by police as non-life-threatening. we are told they are still looking into all of this. insurance adjusters have been busy tallying up the damage. the building inspector says the house itself is actually okay despite what happened here. we are live from arlington this afternoon, steve cooper,

>> christa: to orange now. a man was found murdered inside of his own home. right now, police are collecting evidence and they are looking for whomever is behind this violent home invasion. it left his wife badly injured as well. here is nicole oliverio. >> reporter: hugs and flowers for family members of an elderly man who was killed and his wife seriously injured during a home invasion inside their orange house. family didn't want to talk as police searched for the alleged killer. old, she said. and they had to... they had to life-flight her to worcester. >> reporter: it happened wednesday night. on thursday, police blocked off roads and put schools in lockdown as they searched for the suspect. >> all of a sudden, they taped off the road. they couldn't move out of here. >> reporter: investigators walking in and out of the home, taking pictures and collecting evidence. they also searched a car.

elderly couple. they are surprised to have a crime like this right next-door. >> scare it is hell out of me. s to think about it. >> reporter: right now, there is no update on the investigation. police haven't made any arrests. as for the woman rushed to the hospital, she has serious injuries. there is no update on her condition. in orange, 7 news. >> christa: coming up at noon, hurricane hunters going right into the eye of the storm. an inside look at their dangerous drive. >> chris: mainly quiet. a couple showers around late saturday night into sunday morning. the forecast ahead. >> kris: a father in auburn facing serious charges. what he did that sent children running. >> christa: the patriots hard at work, gearing up for a game this weekend. we are live at gillette where we are live at gillette where the team is practicing. in new hampshire, we are live at gillette where the team is practicing. maggie hassan cut taxes for small businesses,

in washington, what's kelly ayotte done? voted to cut college grants, cut medicare. but kelly ayotte voted to protect tax breaks for millionaires and big oil. that's what the koch brothers and big corporate interests wanted. they're spending millions supporting ayotte. kelly ayotte's not working for us.

>> christa: hurricane matthew, a powerful category three storm. take a look at. this taken inside the eye of the storm. at this point, the storm is still a category four. when they were doing. this hurricane hunters were flying into the middle there. they were getting the latest data. you can see the plane is getting tossed around quite a bit by the wind. and the heavy rain as well. >> kris: you are never going to complain about turbulence again if you go on those flights. i could imagine. >> chris: it is not necessarily the horizontal wind. when you go into the eye of these storms, and you have a lot of convection. you have an up-and-down motion going on in the atmosphere. that makes for an exemly bumpy ride. cape canaveral, 107-mile-per-hour wind gusts right there. basically, you jet out a little bit. on the space coast. forecast satellite beach coming in with an 88-mile-per-hour gust. the strongest gusts have been felt on the western edges of

this is where the strongest winds are. this is where you push 120 miles an hour. essentially, in the northeastern quad rabbit. ... quadrant. that has stayed off-shore as the storm has been parallelling the coastline there. has been no official landfall with the center of the eye itself moving on-shore. regardless, we are had a lot of hurricane-force gusts. very close to the coastline. especially once you got your way toward cape canaveral and then back over toward daytona beach. the storm, a continue to turn to the north. kind of bending around the south carolina-north carolina coastline. then pivoting back to the south. as we get through the line here. what becomes more of a concern from this point out, obviously, we are still concerned with the hurricane-force winds along the coastline. also flooding rain and storm surge. that will likely be a six to nine-foot storm surge along the georgia coastline. up into portions of the south carolina coastline. that, combined with a lot of rain. trying to work its way back into the ocean here.

of flooding along the coastline. that is why officials are still urging folks, you know, if they have evacuation orders along the coast in georgia and south carolina, heed them. do so at this point. we still have a long way to go with matthew. in the meantime, back on the farm, a good-looking day. 66 in boston right now, 73 in norwood. 71 in bedford. what a start. you know, we were a little on the cool side again today. with the sunshine getting to work, it has warmed up. and warmed up quickly. we are expecting to start off tomorrow, increasing clouds in the afternoon. showers. better chance with the front coming on through, providing some scattered showers on sunday morning. late saturday night into sunday morning. a couple may get hung up close to southeastern massachusetts through midday. i do expect the drying trend here later sunday and monday looks gorgeous right now for the holiday weekend forecast. 70-77 this afternoon. coolest at the coastline. the forecast for tonight, clear to partly cloudy skies. 44-56. there is the 7-day forecast. taking you into next week.

levels. low to mid-60's. >> kris: still ahead, a car in middleborough completely totaled. we will tell you what caused it to catch on fire. >> christa: an auburn interviewer: what would you do with five minutes to kill and a smartphone? man: check the scores. woman 1 : uh, probably post a pic. woman 2: text a friend. interviewer: how about register to vote? man: really? galvin: you can. five minutes online and to register so you can vote for our next president. go to register to vote m-a dot com. it's that easy. woman 2: done. i just registered. man: that was easy. galvin: register by october 19th. joe plaia: every three days, someone in new hampshire is killed with a gun. mothers, sons, friends. and yet kelly ayotte continues to play political games instead of making new hampshire safer. when she has the chance to strengthen background checks,

suspected terrorists from getting guns, ayotte flip flopped. kelly ayotte's become another typical washington politician and that puts us all at risk. narrator: independence usa pac is responsible for the content of this advertising. we heard this growling sound coming from our basement and our heating unit was blowing cold air. but we didn't worry about it, because our plan from homeserve covers costly repairs. a technician came to see if the problem was he fixes all kinds of things like that. hey homeserve guy, was it a faulty valve? no ma'am, just a hairy snow beast. that was my second guess. you're right, honey. help protect your heating system with a repair plan and save 50% your first year.

in their first game back. but more likely would be better three or four weeks down the road. belichick suggesting fans shouldn't be surprised if brady has to shake off some rust after his deflate-gate suspension. no matter how he tried to keep himself game-ready on his own. >> i don't care how many times you run out on the track. i don't care how many sit-ups you do. you put 21 guys out there on the football field and work on the timing and situation of football, that was t way to do it, just to not do anything for four weeks and go do push-ups, then that is maybe what we do. honestly, i don't think that is the right way to go. that is my opinion. >> reporter: just the coach's opinion there. tom brady starts the season not on the injury report. julian edelman added to the report. tom brady will be one person to watch. some of his weapons will be watched as well.
