8:03 am
welcome to the weekend, everyone. i'm anthony mason along with with dana mason. the storm is the size of texas and it's about to land on florida. hurricane irma is now category 4 storm packing winds of 155 miles an hour. there are 20 storm-related deaths across the caribbean. irma is so big, 100-plus-mile-an-hour winds will batter florida's east and west coasts once it makes landfall. >> irma's projected path has shifted to the west. the current track has the storm traveling up the gulf coast and into the southeastern united states by monday. this more than the outer bands are beginning to lash the keys with wind and rain. >> this was the scene overnight
8:04 am
highway lanes heading north jammed with drivers fleeing irma. more than 5 million people, a quarter of florida's population was told to evacuate. we have a team of correspondents located along both of florida's coasts. we check in with lonnie quinn, weather forecaster from wcbs. what's it look like? >> good morning, everybody. here's the deal. you are starting to see the outer bands make the way through the florida keys. key west has had gusts of 66 miles an hour and you're quite a distance away from the storm. national hurricane center put out their 5:00 update. very healthy storm, 55-mile-an-hour winds. officially a cat 4. let's keep the number thing in perspective here. cat 4 at 155 it's nooufi imovin
8:05 am
it's slowed down in forward progress. we would rather have it come in and get out as quick a possible. slowing down, 144 miles from miami. million dollar question, where does it go? we can't tell you exactly. this does look to be more of a west coast florida event than east coast florida event. had landfall along the northern coast of cuba, yet at this point in time, all hail the european model because they have been on top of this the entire time. they're the only one that called for that landfall. there's your track, curving to the north some time late tonight and then we think overnight, sunday, maybe 2:00 a.m. making landfall around the florida keys and pushing up the west coast of florida. again, anywhere within the yellow-shaded area is in play for eye wall
8:06 am
entire state. i do believe your storm surge is going toer on the west coast than east coast. east coast storm surge i think will max out about 5 feet. could be up to 10 feet on the west coast. what's interesting, you have to think about how that air is going to circulate. it's a counterclockwise spin. as this approaches from the south for those from west coast, marco island, for example, you'll see the wind pushing water out of the bays. that's not the problem. it's on the backside that you get that wrap-around and this is going to be the problem. it's going to start off not a big deal with the surge. winds will be popping but it will be on the backside that the eye passes that you'll catch the big surge. surge is going to be a big problem, winds, obviously, and rainfall a foot or more in s
8:07 am
that's the latest. i'll be back with another update in an hour or so. >> thank you, lonnie. the storm that veered west overnight, as lonnie said, made landfall as a c and ended up going farther inland than initially expected. this is what it looked like on the island. regardless of where you are in florida, that forecast has the entire state basically on watch. let's go now to miami where jeff glor leads our storm preparation coverage. jeff? >> reporter: anthony, good morning 20 you. we are seeing the first bands here, the wind has increased significantly here just recently. we have not seen significant rain yet, but what we do see are ever-present lightning strikes in the background. the leading edge of irma here coming in. there is a sense of tension all across south florida that you can see and frankly feel right now. here in miami, many stores and
8:08 am
most have left this area. some have taken shelter in the greater miami area. ma miami-dade county and broward county. we of spoke on the some people or with not leaving. they don't feel comfortable leaving their homes. they feel like they of made the preparations they need to make and they're hunker do you think for this storm. as we've been reporting, irma is a category 4 right now projected to make landfall in southwest florida sometime tomorrow. it is expected to move up that west coast of florida as lonnie mentioned and take aim at the city of naples, a metro area of more than 300,000. john an this vigliotti is there this morning. jonathan, good morning to you. >> jeff, good morning. and the wind has picked un, the lightning has picked up but it's not wind that's the big concern on the west coast. where we are in collier county along toa
8:09 am
anywhere from 6 feet to 12 feet possibly of water. to give you a sense, about 6 feet, give or take an inch or two, twice my height in water. i want to show you the first line of defense here. these sand dunes, if you can call them a defense, and look at what's on the other side of them, this is a very familiar scene for miles along this coast. homes like this and take a closer look at this home. what's missing? what don't you see? shutters. you don't even see anyfullywood. and this isn't an isolated case. i've been traveling throughout the afternoon and evening yesterday and you could count on my hand how many shutter is saw on homes. the west coast thought they were going to be spared the brunt of this storm. that changed yesterday. this is a community mainly of snowbirds, people that come down over the winter break and retirees, but there's also a year-round population. i spoke with one gentleman about a block away from where we are right now. last night, he was actually considering staying here, riding out the storm with his wife,ut
8:10 am
once he saw that surge estimate he decided it was time to seek higher ground. let me move you north because there is an island very important here, i think it will be critical in this storm, sanibel island, 40 miles up this coast. there are homes there. i spoke with one man last night lives in one of those homes. he sz his neighbors are coming to his home and they're going to ride this storm out. i asked him if he was crazy. he said, listen, we know the windows are going to break, we'll likely get flood bug we are going to stay put. he has an 87-year-old neighbor staying with him. police are saying at this point any area under mandatory evacuation like much of the coast and certainly sanibel, those people that ride out this storm that don't choose to leave, safety, security, and police may not be able to get to them in time in case of an emergency. jeff? >> jonathan, thank you very much. hard to overstate the threat of that storm surge which everyone that we of talked to talks about. that storm surge is going to affect the entire bottom half
8:11 am
florida where we are, southwest florida where it should be more significant as well. floridians who are trying to evacuate are running into some serious issues here. roadblock, which is a scarcity of xwgasoline. many of the state's biggest cities in from miami to tallahassee are running on empty with nearly one-third of gas stations in metropolitan areas out of gas. david begnaud is at a service station in pompano beach. good morning to you. >> reporter: jeff sh good morning. we're along the two evacuation routes headed north to orlando. we're along the florida turnpike. so going through the central portion of the state. this is the pompano beach service plaza. there are 32 pumps, not as busy as it was yesterday, but they're still pulling in this morning and you have to florida highway patrol that's directing vehicles in. that's the turnpike and i don't see a car on it right now. there's a few coming. traffic is very light this morning. here's the food news. i just talked to a florida highway patrolman who said
8:12 am
wide open, i-95 and the florida turnpike. if you're on the turnpike, we're told there is gas station at every service station from south florida to orlando. with irma steaming ahead, a steady stream of cars rolled in to fill up while they can. christine tee yaz hack through this before. >> andrew, george, i made it, but the island was devastated. >> reporter: she planned to stay home in key west until a 5:00 advisory showed the category 5 storm headed right her way. that made me say i'm out of here. >> reporter: gas stations are becoming a rare commodity. the governor is urging them to act more like public servants. >> we will raise police escorts for your employees so they can get out safely. >> reporter: the governor is organizing escorts because this was the highway on friday and
8:13 am
this was the ft. lauderdale international airport friday night. the last flight out of town long gone. >> how much fuel do you have? >> less than quarter tank. >> reporter: for those stuck on the ground like dana and larry, a small victory, the last drops from this south miami beach texaco. >> living right i guess. >> reporter: even with police escorts helping fuel tankers reach gas stations, many were still on the hunt. >> i'm looking at the gas buddy app and it says it had gas. >> reporter: there may be an app for, that but for joo ti it wasn't enough. >> you know where to g, i'm happy to g look. >> reporter: we talked to several families evacuating from the key wist area, one that was sleeping in their vehicle this morning heading north the orlando. another update from the highway patrol. we're told there is no traffic if you're going from the southern tip of florida north to orlando and there are no lines at gas pumps. theiss what the highway patrol is reporting this morning. i have to tell you, it is really quiet around here.
8:14 am
home, closed the door and hunkering down. >> david, thank you. it's quiet there and it is getting very dark here in miami. you can literally see -- and you hear the wind pick up a little bit now. you can literally see the bands where it's dark and then light and then we see, again, more to the south, phil, those lightning strikes that keep coming in as irma draws ever closer. irma is drawing comparisons to a category 5 storm that hit florida in 1992, and that is hurricane andrew. that storm cut across the states, causing 61 deaths and $27 billion in damage. one of the hardest hit areas was homestead. 30 miles north of key largo. elaine quijano is in nearby florida city. >> we're here in homestead, florida, known as the gateway to the keys. behind me is overseas h
8:15 am
is the only way in and out of the florida keys. it is basically ke deserted that the point. no signs of any traffic on route 1 right now. irma is being felt here just the outer bands, not so much with the winds which are not bad right now, but the outer bands are bringing some severe lightning and heavy rains. we just had a major squall pass over and there is more red on the radar headed our way. so the mentality here in homestead right now is that they hope they are safe but they are very nervous, many people telling me that they feel if storm is different than past storms. jeff? >> actually, elaine, we lost jeff's signal there. elaine quijano in florida city, florida. let's go back actually now to the bahamas. we mentioned they were slammed overnight by the force of hurricane irma. nick bryant also from our partners at the bbc is in nasa. nick, good morning. >> good morning.
8:16 am
in the bahamas, which didn't experience the truktive power of hurricane irma that was feared initially, especially in the central and northern parts of this archipelago. some in the south did experience some structural damage, did experience some flooding but nothing on the scale of what was initially feared. we're getting a sense of the level of destruction elsewhere in the caribbean. barbuda was the first island where hurricane irma made landfall. 95% of the build tlgs have been destroyed. the island is now being evacuated because of the danger posed by hurricane jose, a category 4 storm that's been barreling across the atlantic. the u.s. virgin islands, four deaths there, have now been confirmed. british virgin islands, a great deal of destruction especially in the capital. dana, anthony. back to you. rotan. back to you. >> nick bryant in nassau, ba ham
8:17 am
th bahamas, where they dodged a bullet from irma. looks like lots of people heeded the evacuation order. >> floridans were told to get out at the beginning of the week. >> we're going to florida governor rick scott joining us from state emergency operation from tallahassee. governor, good morning. >> good morning. boy, we're trying to get everybody out of these evacuation zones. thank you for getting the message out. >> governor, do you feel -- how ready do you feel you are at this point? >> we've been working to get everybody out. we have -- i called 7,000 members of the national guard, we have very good first responders, very good emergency management teams. i talked to president trump almost every day. fema is here. everyone is ready. but i've got to get people out of these evacuation zones. have i to get people -- if you're not on the road on the west coast by noon, this storm's
8:18 am
people prepared. this is a resilient, strong state. we'll work hard, we work well together, but get out of these evacuation zones and get ready. >> we focus so much on the keys and south florida. we had reports like sanibel island, as far as getting people out right now, what is your biggest concern? >> biggest concern is people are -- are you listening? do you understand the risk of storm surge? potential 12 feet of storm surge. this water flows in. it's 12 feet. you cannot survive this. you have to understand, this is different than something like andrew. we didn't get the storm surge in andrew. it's a big, big storm. the storm surge really scares me. >> what's your sense of whether people are heeding the call? obviously, we've seen the highways overnight were packed, but do you think -- do you have a good feeling most people are getting out who need to get out?
8:19 am
our shelters are getting -- we're opening up more and more shelters. over 250 shelters now. i shut down all the schools in the state so we would have more safe places where we could open up shelters. we're still working to make sure people get fuel if they're on the road. people are going to she woulders. i want to make sure everybody understands. this is an unbelievable, massive, destructive storm. it's a killer. look, i love my family. i don't want to lose one member of my family. i wanted everybody to have that same attitude. love my family, get to safety. >> governor rick scott, i think people are heeding the warning. we appreciate you joining us. thank you. >> thank you. >> you can stay with cbs news throughout the weekend for extensive coverage of hurricane irma. we'll have coverage on our network and streaming cbs. a special with "cbs this

florida in the crosshairs of hurricane irma. the storm now is a category 4 with winds of 130 miles an hour but is expected to strengthen. irma is so large, it's expected to hit florida's east and west coast. the hurricane's projected path has shifted to the west in the past 24 hours. irma will travel up florida's gulf coast. by monday reach the southeast. >> the storm battered cuba as a category 5 hurricane deaths andc damage throughout the caribbean. this morning irma's outer bands are lashing florida's keys with winds and rain. jeff glor leads our coverage from miami. >> reporter: good morning to you. we off biscayne bay in miami. you can see in

with some high winds and some rain. and then it's calmed down a bit. obviously, that will only increase in intensity as we move along here. we do want to take a look at irma from space, if we can, because we do have video that was recorded just before noon on friday. as the international space station flew about 250 miles over the hurricane, which was then a category 4 storm, since then it strengthed to category 5 before weakening slightly to a category 4. as you mentioned, the leading edge of this storm is affecting parts of south florida, where we are, also the florida keys. elaine quijano is in florida city, south of us here. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to yo

the homestead area, is known as the gateway to the florida keys. behind me is overseas highway also known as route 1. the only way in and out of the florida keys. and just a short time ago we actually saw what appeared to be some kind of transport. basically a convoy of what appeared to be school buses escorted by state troopers making their way from the keys, some kind of transport out of the florida keys as the evacuations continued at this hour. in terms of what we felt, it's a little bit of a lull right now. i can tell you, though, in the last 90 minutes or so it was not like this. we saw very intense wind, very intense rain. and lightning so severe. in fact, one strike actually hit not too far away from where we're standing right now. so, this is a storm that residents here in particular are watching very carefully because their memories of hurricane andrew are very vivid. it was decimated this
9:04 am
now, they are watching these skies very, very nervously. jeff? >> thanks much. lightning has been a big part of it here overnight and especially this morning. you look to our south, the leading edge of irma and it's almost like a fireworks show with the lightning strikes. the storm surge from irma could be as high as 12 feet in some coastal areas. that puts anybody nearby at risk. that includes the southeast, where we are. it includes the southwest as well. jonathan is in naples, florida, a community on the west coast, that is squarely within irma's sights. jonathan? >> jeff, good morning. we're here in downtown naples, which looks -- forgive the cliche -- a ghosttown. on saturday there would be a vie brandt farmers market. you can see the businesses boarded up.
9:05 am
wind but the storm surge upwards of possibly 12 feet will certainly rush in and impact this place. we're only five blocks away from the ocean. if you haven't heard of this region, if you haven't been here, odds are you have had a tomato from it. a 45-minute drive east is a town known as the tomato capital of the u.s. there right now as we speak are communities of trailer homes and living in them right now, a group of migrant farmers who say they don't have the money or cars to get out to a safer place. they also worry about their documentation. an important note here, police saying their immigration status won't be checked at shelters. the good news, there are plenty of of shelters but they are quickly filling up. >> jonathan, thank you very much. they're telling people that if they have to go to shelters, they should bring whatever they can with them so there is as many supplies as possible.

that's because it's interacting with the another shore of cuba. we had a landfall that wasn't anticipated, a wobble to the south. that's what these things do. they wobble back and forth. it is forecast to continue off to the west-northwest at 12 miles per hour. right now 225 miles from miami. we have to get to the track. has the track changed? well, it still sees that big turn to the north, very possible to see a landfall around the florida keys as a cat 4. again at 130 miles per hour, that's barely a cat 4. 19 you're into a cat 3 but we believe the florida straits, the water is so warm it will strengthen it, push it up into florida. possibly staying offshore but you can't rule out having a landfall. the entire state at risk because of the entire width of this storm. even the east coast will be affected. >> lonnie quinn, thanks. while we continue to watch hurricane irma's approach to the u.s., hurricane jose is swirling in the atlantic. se
