hill. thank you. now to president trump's director of social media under fire this morning. dan ska vino tweeted out video claiming that it showed miami's airport flooded. it said he was sharing that video with the president. turns out he was wrong. the person who runs the twitter account for miami's airport said the video was not from miami international. the post was deleted. angie goff here at the live desk. more aid is on the way to the caribbean islands. they were beat up and cut off by hurricane irma. france's president among those sending additional food and water to the devastated area. at least 23 people lost their lives in the storm when it swept through several islands leaving behind a trail of death and destruction. some of the small islands are completely cut off from the world. now, the area bracing for more bad conditions feeling the impact of hurricane jose, which is expected to bring dangerous

surf. eun? angie, thank you. for a lot of americans in the caribbean, escaping turned out to be a tough task. before irma hit florida, such as st. martin was purturned into ps of rubble. it is a vacation spot. several american families were trapped during irma and are now being evacuated back to the u.s. the jackson family is one of them. it took them one week to get back on u.s. soil. arriving last night. the whole ordeal ruined their time enjoying vacation. now they're happy to be home. >> i am. i really am. i'm really glad to be alive. it's a lot. it was the strongest storm i've ever endured. >> the jacksons say they are thankful to be back in the u.s. but they feel for the people they had to leave behind. hurricanes irma and harvey are having

your budget. gas prices are to rise after the hurricanes battered the country. >> they've jumped -- adam tuss is live in tysons with more on why you should fill up today. adam? >> reporter: that's right, aaron. this is becoming an issue for all of us here as we work to fill up our tanks. take a look. $2.67 on the board at the gulf gas station along 123. you know, $2.67 is the national average. swing it around, we'll show you other boards. prices have been steadi increasing. you have $2.69 for the sunoco station. because of this, the long lines we've seen in florida as people continue to gas up. also the refineries that are off line because of hurricane harvey in the gulf coast. don't forget about that. that is causing a lot of oil shortage and that means that it simply can't get

enough and the supply has to be rebalanced. we're working with that. the short answer, if you can fill up soon, you want to do that. because the prices are likely to continue to go up over the next couple weeks and days. we've seen them go up five to ten cents more. get out and fill up if you can. >> adam tuss in tysons. thanks. dozens of dogs left orphaned by hurricanes harvey and irma have permanent homes in our area. people turned out for homeless pets unleashed in georgetown yesterday. about 90 dogs from shelters. texas, florida and puerto rico were up for adoption. >> nice to see that people are helping the pets who were part of the issue there. >> dogs need homes too. >> everybody, for sure. >> chuck, it's 58 degrees outside. >> i know. >> 50s? but it's too soon. >> i feel like last year we had some summer weather in november. >> we stayed warm through the fall last

6.5 degrees colder than average for the first ten days of september. you're right. it's a quick change of the seasons around here for sure. still dealing with the track for irma down here. the storm now only -- it will be tropical storm irma. the track of this dying storm, will take it northwest ward. if you have plans towards atlanta, birmingham, jacksonville, tampa, you need to call ahead. there will be disruptions in air travel today. all the rain, the heaviest is in southeast georgia and towards jacksonville, florida. the worst conditions are actually moving back into the tampa bay. because it's now that hard on shore wind. the bay, which was blown dry yesterday now is well above banks with some 8 to 10-foot waves on top of the rising

probably only going to get as far north as that yellow line through southwest virginia and western north carolina. we'll be dry today. eventually the moisture from irma will find its way out towards memphis and then from memphis, it comes towards us. by the time we get the moisture from it, it's not going to be anything like what we've had to deal with from tropical systems in the past. >> clouds on the increase. a cloudy finish. with time, rain chances start to unique up a little bit. not a guarantee you'll get rained on, but rain chances likely after 4:00 or 5:00 tomorrow afternoon. just sort of keep that in mind. right now, a nice one. 58 in town. temperatures 40s in the shenandoah valley. highs today in the loy to mid-70s. might be the last fully dry day of the week. at least a chance for rain. best rain chances are
