our hurricane coverage. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: charlie, good morning. some believe irma is an even bigger threat than hurricane andrew, which destroyed entire towns 25 years ago. 700,000 people in miami-dade county now told to leave. more than 20 million americans in irma's path are expected to see hurricane force wind gusts. powerful storm surge, a potential to flood much of this coastline. irma already devastated a string of islands in the caribbean. at least ten people there died. thousands more are homeless. tony deculpo is in puerto rico. good morning. >> reporter: more than half the homes are without power and many years without clean drinking water. overall, puerto rico claims itself lucky, devastating moving in. less than a day's ride to the east or west where irma menaced the caicos overnight.

heavy rains of irma battered caicos and the turks overnight. believed to be the first hurricane to hit the island chain. >> stuck in the middle of this -- this hurricane. >> reporter: vacationers like cynthia mccall are trapped on the islands and don't know when they'll be able to get home. >> it's mother nature. you have no idea what's going to happen. then we looked at the pictures in b we were stuck. >> reporter: describing damage as wide-scale destruction. officials believe about 6,000 americans are still trapped on the island. at least 4 people confirmed dead and 50 injured. >> the entire housing was damages. >> reporter: and barbuda, a tiny island over 60 square miles nearly every building

homeless. rescue workers across the caribbean are rushing to get food and fresh water to island residents, and only then can they fully assess the damage and begin the long cleanup. jeff? >> reporter: tony, thank you very much. from puerto rico. hurricane irma reaches florida in less than 48 hours. every city a potential target. other cities like atlanta could also be hit as irma moves north. 1.4 million people live in florida's mandatory evacuation areas. the governor ordered all florida schools closed so the buildings can be use add shelters. mark straussman is on the coast here in miami beach. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. more than 700,000 people here in miami-dade county under a mandatory evacuation order. you can tell most have taken it seriously. take a look. this is south beach, a couple blocks from the atlantic ocean boarded up, closed for business.

people studied the radar and hit the road. irma's storm surge could put this neighborhood in high water and deep trouble. gridlock gripped roads from miami to orlando as tens of thousands scramble to evacuate. on miami beach, families piled up sandbags trying to protect their homes from the storm. >> i'm scared. >> reporter: sheri schwartz live as half mile from the beach and told us her neighbors are staying put, but she's not. >> i would like to be in denial, but this time i'm taking heed and getting out. >> reporter: on average, miami beach sits about four feet above sea level. storm surges from irma here could reach three to six feet. governor rick scott issued evacuation orders across the state. >> i stay. >> reporter: but there are still holdouts like this 91-year-old holocaust survivor. >> i'm still like a kid. i like a challenge. >> reporter: he's uncomfortable moving to a shelter, because he needs medical equipment to

health care facilities have already closed in florida. >> we've not seen anything this ominous since andrew, and so we're waiting for it along with the rest of the community. >> reporter: category 5 hurricane andrew hit florida 25 years ago. 65 people died, and it cost the state billions of dollars in damage. hurricane irma is even bigger in size than hurricane andrew. schwartz worries what she may come home to find after the storm. >> i'm afraid that there might not be much. >> reporter: really? it's that worrisome? just the size of the storm? >> and the power. yeah. >> reporter: despite the mandatory evacuation odor many people here will tell you they're still deciding whether to go, and for them, today is d-day, decision day. do i stay or do i go? the last place you want to be during a hurricane is

highway fully exposed to the beating. that's where some people could find themselves if they leave here too late. jeff? >> that's a very good point, mark. this is the day. gasoline shoresage in florida is making it even harder for people trying to get out of irma's path. we've seen this everywhere we go. 42% of gas stations in miami and fort lauderdale are empty according to the gas buddy app. 44% out of gas in west palm beach. 37% empty in tampa st. pete. david begno is at a rest stop where residents are trying to fill up. >> reporter: the weather couldn't be better for getting out of town. here in pompano beach we found fuel and wanted to tell you where it was in case you're evacuating north. 32 pumps in pompano beach, right off the florida turnpike. if you're headed north to orlando, can't miss it. guys will wave you in. right

you see car after car pulling in. as you drive in, the florida highway patrol policing the situation. these gentlemen with red flags stop you there if there's a line at the pump. notice traffic moving north on the turnpike, it's flowing. moving nicely. in the city of miami, a lot tougher. take a look. this man left miami and says he couldn't find an open gas station for nearly 70 miles. he had to push his car to the pump. >> becomes very difficult to keep up with that level of demand. >> reporter: patrick, senior pa pr petroleum analyst puts the blame on -- >> makes the situation almost as bad as it goes. >> reporter: the trump administration eased regulations to get gas to stations more kwikly. the governor ordered police escorts for tanker trucks. >> for gas stations, they're evacuation zones. stay open as long

we will arrangement police escorts for your people so they can get out safely. >> reporter: and long lines as airports. more than 4,000 flights canceled. american airlines will stop flying from its miami hub this afternoon. delta is using bigger planes to take more than 2,000 people out of the region. >> hopefully the storm will stay on track, and won't get hit until saturday and we'll be out of here. >> reporter: also on the move, us coast guard, started theirs clearing out its helicopters and planes. they don't plan to do rescues until irma's gone. >> if the coast guard's leave, gives an indication the severity of the phone. >> reporter: if you don't have the gas buddy on your phone download it. and pompano beach is a great spot but their stopping fuel pumps at 11:00 a.m. >> reporter: that's the first gas station i've seen here that hasn't had

blocks long of a wait. david, thank you very much. maybe because so many heeded warnings and left. the florida keys are virtually empty as irma moves closer. hurricane and storm surge warnings in effect and mandatory evacuation ord erds in place. at least 31,000 people already left. this string of tropical islands is about 120 miles long and on average only about six feet above sea level in the keys. irma could bring one to six feet at least of flooding to the islands. elaine quijano is in key largo. elaine, good morning to you. >> >> reporter: good morning to you, jeff. you said most of the keys look like a ghost town. what it looks like in key largo. little activity. in the house behind he, people bringing in furniture making final preparations as the storm approaches. next to that, though, houses empty, boarded up. next to that, house empty, boarded up. these boat slips empty. pulled from the water. those boats that remain, you can see, t

secure them as best they can. now, throughout key west, businesses are closed and boarded up as well. the port of key west will officially close at 8:00 a.m. the three main hospitals also closed. patients evacuated. not everyone is getting out. we spoke to fishermen who plan on staying, riding out the storm. they tide their vessels to the mangroves and are hoping and praying they will be able to preserve those boats, because those boats are their livelihoods. now, while some people are staying, we actually will not be staying here much longer. because we have been told by the monroe county sheriff's office as soon as these winds pick up a little bit they're going to shut down access to the bridge. the only way in and out route 1 is going to be cut off. jeff? >> reporter: elaine, thank you very much. and as we send it back to charlie here one of the biggest concerns here, charlie, lonnie mentioned, irma is bigger than andrew, but also

straight east to west and irma is going to go south to north, just rake the entire state of florida, if this track holds, and that's why there's so much concern. charlie? >> jeff, thank you. florida governor rick scott joins us now from the south florida water management center in west palm beach. governor, good morning. >> good morning. i want everybody to listen to the evacuation orders, charlie. we have got to -- everybody think about your family. i love my family. i want my family to be safe. i want to protect them. i think about that with the state. so if there's evacuation orders in your area, you have to listen to. >> what is the latest you can tell us about the expectation when the storm hits and the devastation from it? >> well, here's what's different between this and andrew. this is bigger than andrew, and we're going to have way more storm surge. we're going to start seeing hurricane force winds tonight in the keys, and looks like -- follow the track, come up

a slight move, decide it's going to the west coast versus the east coast and said all along. don't be complacent. not exactly sure where it will go. think about your life, your family's life, but five to ten feet of storm surge if the southern part of the state will cover homes. we're not a high state. we don't have mountains in the state. think about, if you're close to the coast, the storm surge can be devastating. we didn't have that in andrew. totally different than andrew. we'll have horrible winds but the storm surge that really worries me. >> governor, we're reporting and i know you're concerned about this as well, you have gas stations in miami, fort lauderdale, 40%, 50% already closed. will people have the resources to get out? >> we worked hard to try to get as much fuel in the state as possible. i provided escorts to the tankers. they're taking it from the fuel depot to the gas stations. we're asking the gas stations t

we'll help you, provide you police escort out to evacuate. we've talked to the white house. epa. we've gotten regulations waived so we can get more fuel in here. also our ports are eventually -- everglades will close. >> thank you, governor. >> we're working hard.

morning." gay gayle is on assignment. and the fierce hurricane is churning between cuba and the bahamas now. irma is expected to turn north towards florida tomorrow. more than a million people have been told to leave. the massive storm is about the size of france right now. jeff glor is leading coverage from miami. jeff, are residents heeding the warnings? >> reporter: many of them are, yes. good to see you. storm surges are a huge concern with this hurricane. hurricane irma. fema estimates about 2.5 million florida homes are in flood hazard zones. many of those homes are in this densely populated area. we're in miami-dade county. broward county to our north. more than 4.5 million people live overall including the cities of miami and fort lauderdale. one of the best ways to understand low-lying area threats is to see them from above. bateran helicopter pilot paul

miami coastline that's under the threat of dangerous storm surge. >> this is the most low-lying vulnerable area of miami. right here. >> reporter: and if irma hits here and water comes up ten feet or nor and goes inland for miles? >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: barth witnessed devastation firsthand when a cat 5 hurricane struck here in 1992. >> all of this was wiped out when you were here for hurricane andrew? >> correct. all this. a low area here. two, three feet above sea level. if we have a strong storm surge, there's not much to protect the coastline moving in. >> reporter: there's nothing stopping the surge from coming in? nothing stopping the wind? >> right. no barrier island on this side. this mouth of key biscayne here. it's wide open to the atlantic ocean. >> reporter: if you're living in this area, what do you

>> better evacuaevacuate. get out. >> reporter: and just north of broward county running full tilt with members from every county department on hand. this area is humming. >> it is. because this is where calls are coming in, arranging for services. >> reporter: the broward county mayor says storm surge flooding is her biggest worry alonge with neighbors complying with evacuation orders. >> our concern, we'll have to try to rescue people or may have fatalities. right now the preparation process is to minimize that. >> reporter: the mayor says broward county is whether for whatever irma brings their way and warning people who decide to ride out the storm once winds reach a sustained 4re678 eed l miles an hour, no personnel will be incident for them. we will likely get winds more than three times that amount. back to norah. >> important point. why the evacuation orders are so important. many calling irma's current track the

for south florida. now, this is a look at the category 4 hurricane from the international space station. chief weather k5689 caster lonn quinn is here to explain why irma's impact will be felt far from the center of the storm. lonnie, good morning. >> well, good morning, everybody. look, let's be real. every inch of a hurricane is dangerous and every hurricane is different. so let's take a moment and break down the anatomy of irma. with irma, we have to focus on the winds and the storm surge. now that hole that you see in the very middle of the hurricane is the eye. where you'll find very peaceful air, but just outside the eye is the eyewall where you find the strongest winds. irma's 155 mile-per-hour winds are confined to a band just 35 miles from the eye. wherever that eye is making landfall that is where you get the most devastating damage. and just outside of this, another band of hurricane force winds not quite as strong. they extend an additional 35 miles and here's where youd

miles per hour or stronger, but not as strong as that eyewall. the rest of this huge storm is primarily tropical storm force wins. winds that are 39 miles per hour or stronger, go out another 140 miles. this thing is enormous. keep in mind, you can always get stronger wind gusts anywhere in the hurricane. but it also matters what side of the storm you're on. the worst part of the storm is the front right quadrant, because you're getting all the peak winds. now it's combined with the forward progress of the storm. this is also the part of the storm that's going to pop and spawn a lot of tornadoes. on the left side, it's still dangerous. don't get me wrong, but the winds will be a little, a little bit less, because you have to subtract forward motion. so, look, i'll tell you. it's a beast no matter how you look at it and either the top or bottom of the storm pushing water onshore for the east coast and the west coast. storm surge is a huge problem. charlie? >> thank you, lonnie. interesting to me in

of how much you warn people there are still people that feel they want to stay. >> they quantiwant to stay and w the winds so bad, storm surge so bad. lots of anecdotal people about people staying in miami. i know people in the naples area saying now i'm really scared. just have 24 hours to make a decision what to do. >> especially you hear this is expected to be greater than hurricane andrew and you remember the impact it had on the state. >> and each moment you delay the decision the harder it is. >> exactly right. take a look at some of the morning's other headlines. the "san francisco chronic the" reports on a huge data breach at the credit monitoring company equifax that may have exposed 143 million people to identity theft. the stolen information includes names, social security numbers, drivers' license numbers, addresses and birthdays. equifax set up a website and phone number for consumers to check if they're information may have been stolen. >> that is a huge breach.

former white house staffer steve bannon is opening up about the "access hollywood" video that led to a crisis in the trump campaign. the first extensive conversation with bannon since he left the trump administration a few weeks before the election a video obtained by the "washington post" revealed donald trump talking with billy bush about groping women. it sent his campaign into full damage control. the weekend after the video came out mr. trump met with senio

adviser, bannon, reince priebus and chris christie to discuss the next steps. in our "60 minutes" interview, how the meeting caused christie a potential job in the administration. >> and trump went around the room, asked people percentages he thought of still winning and what the recommendation was and reince started off saying you have two choices. either drop out right now or lose by the biggest landslide in american political history and trump with his humor goes, a great way to start a conversation. we went around the room. you could tell, i could tell from the incoming of politicians and from politicians there, the natural inclination of politicians are to be so overwhelmingly stunned and shocked by how the media comes on you. trump wasn't that. last guy to speak. i said it's 100%. you have a 100% probability of winning. >> you seemed to have done that at every point in the campaign, in trouble,

rhetoric in terms of appealing to his base. >> appealing to the american people and the working class people in this country. absolutely. you know why? it was a winner. that's what i told him. double down. the first and only time he got upset. he said it's not 100%. it is. tell you why. they don't care. >> they do care about respect for women and not just locker room talk. >> the billy bush thing is locker room talk. >> did you lose confidence at anybody because they came to you, look, he ought to get out of this race other than reince priebus? did your attitude towards those people who said that -- >> billy bush saturday to me is a litmus test. it's a litmus test and i said it the other day to general kelly afterwards. it's a line i remember from the movie "the wild bunch." william holden uses it before a huge gunfight at the end. when you side with a man you side with him. okay? the good and bad. you can criticize him, but when you sideh

side with him. that's what billy bush weekend showed me. showed me who really had donald trump's back to play to his better angels. all you had to do and what he did was go out and continue to talk to the american people. people didn't care. they knew donald trump was just doing locker room talk with a guy and dismissed it. it had no lasting impact on the campaign, yet if you see the mainstream media that day, it was literally, he was falling into dante's inferno. >> took names, didn't you? >> i did. i'm irish, got my black book and i got them. christie because of billy bush weekend was not looked at for a cabinet position. >> he wasn't there for you on billy bush weekend. therefore doesn't get a cabinet position? >> i told him the plane leaves at 11:00 in the morning. if you're on the plane, you're on the team. didn't make the plane. there he is. an interesting guy to talk to. because, a.

to a lot of stuff. b. harks strong opinions and, ma c., three, he likes to talk. >> and enforcing blind loyalty. >> exactly what he said. at a time like that he said you want to know somebody willing to go forward, not stay in the foxhole. >> to hear him say about chris christie, him not being on the president's side eliminated him from a cabinet position. >> you're on the plane or out. and see it on "60 minutes." 7:00, 6:00 central right here on cbs. 500-year rain events like hurricane harvey seem to be happening more and more in the united states. ahead what that phrase really means and why scientists say it's misleading. plus, how the five living former u.s. presidents are joining forces to help hurricane victims. the wonderful thing it is to see them all joined together at

destroyed towns 25 years ago. >> crazy. the width of the storm, 160 miles with hurricane force winds, both coasts would get it with this scenario. >> this is south beach a couple blocks from the atlantic ocean boarded up, closed for business. streets, closed to traffic. >> most of the florida keys looked like a g host.town very little activity. people making final preparations basically as the storm approaches. >> and couldn't be brette for getting out of town. here in pompano beach we found fuel and wanted to tell you where it was in case you're evacuating north. >> fly ball foul down the left field line out of play. hey! a heck of a grab! grub in one hand, bare hand grab with big league baseball. the grub and the grab! yeah! ♪ i'm charlie rose with norah o'donnell and bianna golodryga. gayle is on assignment. the head of fema says this

morning that hurricane irma is "going to devastate the united states." the massive storm is barreling across the caribbean right now. irma is getting ready to turn north with florida in its cross hairs. >> it is now a very strong category 4 after losing some strength overnight. the storm killed at least ten people. it passed over the turks and case c caicos island causing heavy damage. lonnie quinn of our new york station wcbs is tracking irma the path. >> winds down to 150 mile-per-hour winds. be real. 157, back to a cat 5. a huge system. show where you we see it moving as far as the national hurricane center's track. it continues on that west-northwest push as a cat 4 sometime on saturday. probably early saturday. it is supposed to initiate a strong turn to the north. we believe it's highly likely now -- not a de

looking more likely for a landfall around the florida keys sometime early sunday morning, and then this model looks like it wants to go straight up the spine of florida. keep in mind it could go a little offshore to the east, a little offshore to the west as well. all still in play. take a look how we see the storm surge developing. wherever you see this purple, in sis a new service by the national weather service. it's a storm surge warning. this is only put out for life-threatening conditions. so anywhere from, say, naples, florida, to west palm beach and through the florida keys. the florida keys, possible for the atlantic ocean to wash right into the gulf of mexico. a big problem with the storm that they didn't have with andrew. the storm surge and big winds as well. bianna, over to you. >> you mentioned earlier, lonnie, both coasts affected by the storm. thank you. final preparations and evacuations underway in florida as irma takes aim. jeff glog is in miami which could take a direct hit. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: bianna, g

hurricane irma is expected to make landfall here in florida sunday morning. the largest evacuation ever ordered for miami-dade county is under way right now. more than a million people live in mandatory evacuation zones. powerful storm surge, the potential to affect much of the coast here. more thain ran hurricane andrew did 25 years ago. andrew, you remember, cut a more narrow path moving east to west directly across florida like a buzzsaw. irma's south to north track will likely hit the entire state. tens of thousands of people have been traveling to safety. packing roads and airports. florida governor rick scott ordered all public schools, state colleges and universities to be closed through monday at least. irma is now hitting the bahamas after slamming the turks and caicos islands. that storm already devastated other islands in the caribbean. nick bryant from our partners at the bbc is in nassa

bahamas. nick, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. overnight this monster storm hit the turks and caicos and now it is starting to hit the bahamas as well. no longer a category 5 hurricane. a category 4 but still packing winds over 150 miles an hour and brings with it storm surges 20 feet high. now, five low-lying islands in this area, particularly are under threat. where the bahamas, they've mounted the biggest evacuation in its history. hundreds brought here to the capital of nassau. seems especially cruel that the bahamas are hit again. less than 12 months ago, they were being pummeled by hurricane matthew. back to you, jeff. >> nick bryant from the bahamas thank you very much. florida governor rick school is calling in the federal government and oil companies to help with this state's gas shortage. in gainesville, 50% of stations are out of fuel right now. think about that. more than one-third of the gas stations on florida's

are empty. and here in miami-fort lauderdale area, 42% of stations did not have gas last night. at a gas station north of pompano beach, they do have gas. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jeff. the route to get here, the turnpike, where we are, moving nicely now. the evacuation route if heading towards orlando. this is the pompano service plaza. this is is beautiful. okay? there is no line. there are 32 pumps. you want gas, you can get it here. the trump administration eased regulation which is allow officials to get fuel to florida quickly. tanker truck, coming from as far away as michigan. one issue, once they're delivered here in the state refueling them is something of a concern. one of the reasons why is because hurricane harvey that hit texas last week and damaged some refineries there is impacting the fuel situation here. again, jeff, you talked about the situation in miami. we saw as we were driving to pompano beach, a line literally

of miami and where there is no line, that's because there is no fuel. but here at the pompano service plaza off the florida turnpike, can't miss it. exit left. they have fuel and the manager told me 30 minutes ago i'm not closing. i'm going to stay open as long as i can. so if you need fuel, and you're getting out of town, or you're staying here, this is a great place to get it. pompano service plaza. back to you. >> david, thank you very much. one of the biggest concerns here is that folks will wait until the last minute. then try to leave and then potentially get trapped on the open road which is the worst place to be during a hurricane like this. we're going to have much more from miami throughout the day and tonight on the cbs "evening news." for now back to norah in new york. >> thank you, jeffsca pjeff. a scary thought being trapped on roadways. and residents ordered to leave. it is the city's largest evacuation since hurricane

in 2005. we spoke earlier to mayor philip levine who calls the storm a nuclear hur karen and aricane a his community is prepared. >> as prepared as any city can be with this type of hurricane. i called it a nuclear hurricane because of the damage its done on its way to florida. put in portable pumps, generators. working to identify our homeless population, seniors, of course. our special needs people. we've organized buses, trolleys, are, everything to make sure we can evacuate everybody from miami beach. >> questions what to do about those who refuse to evacuate. what is miami going to do? >> trying everything we can to convince them even on a broadcast like this i make a special appeal to residents or visitors that happen to be here, get out of miami beach. we don't need hero. we're all about safety. your safety. leave miami beach. this is a small, low-lying barrier island. this hurricane is of a magnitude of strength of historical

proportions. we need people to leave the beach. as the hurricane moves down the track, begins to hit miami beach and west of miami, our first responders will be unable to go out. we will not put the jeopardy -- their lives in jeopardy, of course. >> on that note, county officials down in the keys say no one will answer 911 calls at this point. will 911 calls be answered in miami beach? >> we'll do the best we can. our county has a number 311 for information as well. anyone listening to this, this is something so powerful, so strong there is no up side for you to stay on miami beach. nothing but down side. >> you mentioned, encouraging people to go to the shelters in miami-dade. it's my understanding they only have room for about 100,000 people. is there enough space? >> yeah. there's a lot of space available. what happens is a lot of people who decided to leave early, a lot of people left miami. a lot of folks have gone west, gone north. a lot of people have gone to relatives,ri

so at this point right now, we believe there's plenty of space in our shelters, and i encourage people, get to one of our shelters now. because the window is fast closing. >> one of the great problems is always flooding. will your pumping stations somehow, be able to hold that kind of damage? >> absolutely not. the pumps we put in and general raters are for sea level rise with a moderate rain and no match for a hurricane let alone hurricane irma, which is packing one heck of a punch. >> florida is known for its beautiful beaches. also known for its large elderly population. what are you doing to ensure the safety of those who cannot physically leave their homes because of their age? >> our fire department, our first responders have gone out. we've met with the various buildings that house a lot of our elderly. made sure we could get them and bring them over to shelters and assist every way we possible could. i've gone out. i know the elderly population here very, very well.

aggressively push them and move them out of miami beach. >> i know your fiancee is in her third trimester. where are you ride out the storm? >> miami beach, mount sinai hospital and making a decision for her, best for her to stay in the hospital or best for her to move off the beach. >> we wish you and all the residents there and all of florida the best of luck. thank you so much for joining us, mayor. >> thank you very much. as the mayor said they do not need heroes. everybody should leave. we turn now to mexico, surveying damage this morning after what's being called its most powerful earthquake in a century. the 8.1 magnitude quake killed at least 15 people. that toll is expected to rise. damage is widespread in southern mexico. the u.s. geological survey says the earthquake struck just off the pacific coast. shaking could be felt hundreds of miles away in mexico city and in neighboring guatemala. vi
