strong and to fight to be back. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." hurricane irma right now is taking all at north florida. the deadly storm has lashed nearly every part of the state. irma's center passed overnight between tampa and orlando. it caused serious flooding in some areas. there are now almost 6 million homes and businesses across the state without electricity. >> irma is dumping huge amounts of rain from one side of the state to the other. it is moved toward the georgia border where it's expected to become a tropical storm, and we are hearing some amazing stories from some people who were caught in the storm. and we have about a dozen of our correspondents stationed around the state of florida. we managed to get to hard-hit islands in the florida keys and

begin our coverage today with jeff glor. he's at st. pete's. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. i'd like to tell you it's over, but it's not. behind us, 8-foot storms. it continues slicing its way up the state of florida. >> wow. super strong winds right now. >> reporter: overnight irma continued its slow crawl over the state of florida. bringing torrential rain and hurricane-force rains inland. even as far as jacksonville, the rain and howling wind arrived knocking trees to the ground. police helped anyone they could. in sarasota, they rescued a trapped driver after a tree fell on his car. overnight in orange county, the national guard along with local rescue crews helped evacuate 30 people from their homes after six feet of water

their neighborhood. the storm ripped the southwestern gulf coast. marco island, naples, and ft. myers bore the brunt. 140-mile-per-hour wind gusts, powerful sheets of rain flooding streets and knocking out power to millions. irma also spawned tornadoes including this one toward ft. lauderdale. another tornado reportedly destroyed homes in pompeii. farther south miami was inundated with water despite avoiding a direct hit from irma. this morning the florida keys remain cut off from the mainland. police have been unable to assess damage. irma knocked out much of the power to this island chain, but police are under way. >> i don't have any insight into the damages. don't have any numbers on potential injuries. we will work on those things tomorrow at first light. >> here's

wide an area this storm covers. some of the heaviest rain, 15 inches since the storm began has fallen in jacksonville. more than 100 miles east of irma's center. the st. john's rush which runs through the city is overflowing now. jericka duncan is along the coast in atlanta beach just outside jacksonville. she spoke to the city's mayor. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. i just did get off the phone with the city's may yo. he told me these gusts are gusting at at least 80 miles an hour. we're out at atlantic beach, which is barrier island. all of the bridges to the city have been shut down and have been since 8:45 last night. we also know this city has experienced storm surge. we've been talking about it throughout the coverage of the storm. just take a look right here. you can see it better as the sun is starting to come out as a little bit. so aside from the

flooding. we're told by the mayor that a lot of the roads here in atlantic beach are impassable. they're concerned about people coming out because right now this is definitely no time to be out in this. this is the worst we have seen it. you can take a look at how the wind is moving these palm trees. again, we're here along the coast and we're seeing and feeling the worst of it allow with the sand pelting us here in the face. the main concern is this people do not venture out at this point. we did hear of at least one accident due to flooding. this is only the beginning. again, we're hundreds of miles away, and yet we're still feeling the effects here of i a irma-irm irma on the east. >> reporter: jericka, thank you very much. we know folks have been rescued

in orlando and adriana diaz is there. >> reporter: they looked so relieved. they were waving and thanking the rescuers. the national guard is here. so is orange county fire & rescue. they brought their belts to help in the flooding efforts. we actually saw a dog being rescued that looked very relieved. in all, at least 100 people have been evacuated from here including kids. now, not too far away, 30 people were evacuated from a building after a 30-foot sinkhole opened up. people from another building were also taken out, and these folks have been taken to a local community center because the conditions are just too intense right now. later on once things calm down, they'll be row indicated to a shelter. now, with these types of winds, of course, the orlando airport is closed but they have been allowing military cargo planes filled with

personnel over the past few days. these are doctors, nurses, pharmacists, even vets who have been brought into the state of florida to be positioned to help in the relief effort. locally there are over 500 emergency responders who are standing by. they're in the county's convention senn tell. they're ready to go out as they're needed. jeff? >> adriana, thank you very much. tallahassee also remains in trouble this morning and don dahler is there. don? >> reporter: good morning. yes, it's getting much more intense. in fact, we've been notified the tropical-force winds have reached the capital city. we saw rivers of refugees floating up. most of them were headed north but quite a few were coming to tallahassee thinking they were going to escape the worst. you can imagine their dismay when an ominous turn happened a little over 24 hour ago.

hotels like this and storm shelters throughout the city. the good news is they're 200 feet above sea level. what is a danger are these winds and power lines. tallahassee has a lot of trees. when hurricane her main came by last year, they had over 3,200 down. it's only going to get worst. once these winds reach 35 miles an hour, the utility crews have to pull off the streets. so everybody is hunkered down here. jeff. >> reporter: yeah, don. it's impossible to know where those outages happened. if you look out there are vast areas where we do not see pow, and it may not be back on for days. norah, back to you in new york.

jeff, thanks so much for reporting. our meteorologist from wbmz is here. eric, good morning. >> good morning. the heaviest rains are around the jacksonville area, a very dangerous area. as they come north, they become more lopsided. in jacksonville, over a foot of rainfall, a flash flood emergency in downtown jacksonville. that st. john's river continues to rise. you have a record rain and storm surge. that's why we have a serious issue there this morning. the latest stat, 75-mile-per-hour winds. it's moving north-northwest. and what you're seeing in jacksonville, it's at 60 miles an hour right now. it's working toward a tropical storm. there's no such thing as a tropical storm. that will cause a number of power outages today. again, expect the

influences along north and east of the center. even in atlanta, 60 miles an hour. we add in the rainfall. there you see the highest total. we've got another 6 inches of rain, in spots, 10 inches of rain before things wind down. gayle? >> eric, thank you. >> people in miami were able to escape the full force but they still experienced floodings and it caused at least two massive construction cranes to collapse. officials were worried about that the whole time. mark strassmann is down there now. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. many of the streets are filled with debris and downed trees and power lines. some of the most conspicuous damage you'll see here is right in the heart of downtown miami. this symbol of miami's economic growth became one of the city's most high-profile victims s

morning. a construction crane near a 30-story building snapped with winds at under 100 miles an hour. a little later, a second crane collapsed. >> this crane was 45, 50 stories up. they fall, they have a potential to go three and four blocks. everyone should have been evacuated. >> reporter: a third was crumpled in hurricane irma's winds. they won't start a full assessment of the damage until today. elsewhere in miami gusted ripped the roof off this building. fire officials say no one was hurt here either. >> the water from the bay has started to go inside the building. >> reporter: miami's high end brickle neighborhood. the avenue became the river. >> we're feeling the effectsnd

that is blowing my mind. >> reporter: on sunday miami authorities had to contend with more than 890,000 households losing power. in addition to flooded streets and toppled trees. and police arrested at least 28 people for burglary and looting with numerous incidents caught on camera. daylight is giving everyone a first good look at irma's impact. i want to show you a live picture now of one those collapsed construction cranes. this is the one in the edgewood neighborhood. the city had 25 cranes. two of them in the end did collapse and now have to be addressed. one of the many ongoing issues here. irma's impact also had an effect at miami's international airport. flooding will close that airport today. >> the southwest coast has been

there's just one way on and off and that causeway is closed. kris van cleave made it across this morning. kris, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. they are starting to inspect that causeway. what we're finding here on sanibel island, this, giant trees have come down. they've taken down power lines. in places where trees are still standing, there's water on the road. it's making it very hard for paem to get in the neighborhoods and assess the damage. there are places you can't go to unless you have a buzz saw. here's what we know about ft. myers. crews are under way that. were able to get out and check critical infrastructure. now they're going to go block by block to assess the damaget peel could be in the dark for days. that could become an issue when it heats back up tomorrow. right now we're not hearing about catastrophic

myers proper. while there's still a potential about high tide this morning, it's not been as bad as feared. now, remember, 30,000 went into evacuation shelters because there was a potential for a 10-foot storm surge or more. we're starting to see the shelters empty out as curfews have been lifted. people are going to start getting back on the roads to see what their homes look like. police are asking them to wait a little longer. that would be ideal because they're trying to get a sense of what roads are safe. there are a lot of downed power lines. some are active. norah? >> thanks so much. winds topped out at 142 miles an hour in naples and 130 in marco island. jonathan vigliotti just made it the marco island where hurricane irma made its second landfall. jonathan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we're taking caution this

we were the first news crew to have access to the island. police were telling us if we were to move forward, we would be doing so at our own risk. so far we've seen a lot of downed power lines and tree. we're near a hotel where you see an emergency siren. it has sustained structural damage. police are parked outside. we're told those cars, several of them, were swept away by the surge. irma made its second landfall as a category 3 hurricane but it reached naples with a terrifying force. naples regional airport reported a wind gust of 142 miles an hour, the highest reported in the state. this drone footage shows the extensive damage, streets submerged, buildings torn apart, neighborhoods littered with debris,

ripped off. judy rode out the hurricane huddled in her closet. this time she took shelter with her parents and others at a nearby country club. trees were torn in half and power lines ripped down. the naples storm surge peeked just over 7 feet. it still caused devastating flooding for the low lying homes and businesses along the coast. and marco island police telling us they had to carry out several overnight water rescues. again, this area was expecting that storm surge to be about 15 feet in the end. >> and that was jonathan vigliotti. his shot was going in and out. he said they were expecting a storm surge of 15 feet. it with us less than that. but still collier county which encompasses marco and naples, wi

they got hit pretty hard. >> and once you see the best, you see the worst. i see people looting the tennis shoes. i think that's so disgusting. this is from the police chief. going to jail over stealing sneakers is a very bad life decision. news crews filmed the cars and license plates and sent it to the police, which i think is great. >> we're watching the keys. they're facing a humanitarian crisis. ahead, we're on the island with the zev station irma caused when it made land fall of up to

left the white house. in part of the interview you haven't seen why he was against the firing of former fbi director james comey. it has been reported that jared kushner was in favor of firing james comey. am i correct? >> you guys will have to find that out either through the media or the investigation. i don't know. >> it is also true, many say, and you're a smart guy, that if james comey had not been fired, we would not have the mueller investigation. true? >> i don't think there's any doubt that if james comey had not been fired, we would not have a special council, yes. >> you would not have the mueller investigation. >> we would not have the mueller investigation in the breadth that clearly mr. mueller is going. i think -- >> do you believe mr. mueller should be fired? >> no, i do not. >> have there been discussions in the white house about firing? >> i wou n

the firing because he said -- he talks about this a llt bit later. in washington, you don't just fire comey. really, if you against the fbi, you're going against the institution and that's not really smart politics to go against an institution. we don't know who's for or against because we don't know what was reported. he thinks it was a mistake. he thinks it was a mistake because it led to mueller and some opposition from the fbi. >> that's one of the most extraordinary criticismsing i think, of the president in your interview. >> and so candid, i thought, norah, about mitch mcconnell and paul ryan. i can't imagine what that working environment would be like when he made it clear, listen, you have to oppose them. >> he did not answer all the things we asked of him but he did answer some those. >> that was very clear. did you

go, bow down, bitches. nobody else would have gotten the interview you got. he pointed out -- >> first television interview. never been on tv. >> he came ready to play. >> a couple of things on cable but in terms of a real sit-down about him, this is the first one he's ever done. >> "60 minutes" overtime? there's more? >> yeah, there's more. >> all right. i'll go and turn it on. hurricane irma gave us a rare view of sarasota bay. ahead, why irma caused the water to disappear and how people helped rescue two stranded manatees. they're beautiful. they're already. plus governor rick scott. he's going to tell us what the big focus is and he's got a lot to focus on. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. when you ache and haven't slept... you're not you. tylenol® pm relieves pain

yesterday along the coastline. for floridians living along the coast, irma caused an unusual site, a dry shoreline. >> i've seen it flooded plenty of times. i've never seen it like this. >> reporter: waterways flooded as the hurricane picked up steam. the ocean spray has sucked a lot of the water out of sarasota bay. >> reporter: it was a similar picture across the region thanks to irma's fierce counter-clock weiss winds and atmospheric pressure. >> this is happening because the wins are pushing the water away from the bays as the storm is passing. as the storms pass to the north, the waters shift and push all the water back into the bay. >> reporter: robert had to check out the scene for himself in saraso sarasota. >> i have never seen the grass. i never have seen that before. i just was rp

>> reporter: the tide was so low two manatees became stranded this the sludge and had to be rescued. and in tampa bay authoritied had to worry about people venturing out onto the sea floor since the water could return at any moment. >> it's not like a tsunami where the water gets sucked in and comes back as a big wall. this gradually rises up, rather quickly though. now, we just passed high tide a cup of hours ago. it's not clear if the storm surge is complete yet, but if it is, it looks like it may have escaped the worst. that's a road block to one of barrier islands. they've been keeping residents off it as it's been evacuated the whole time. we saw a convoy of 20, 30 vehicles headed o it there. they're going to assess the damage and check and see on anyone's well being if they chose to ride out the storm on that island.

it is monday, september 11th, 2017. we will never forget. welcome back to "cbs this morning." moments ago irma was downgraded to a tropical storm, but it still is bringing heavy wind and rain to much of florida. wind gusts topped out at more than 140 miles an hour yesterday in naples. we'll look at the worst damage including a flash flood emergency right now in the jacksonville area. plus florida governor rick scott joins us. but first here's this hour's "eye opener." >> reporter: this is the heart of irma in naples. eyewa eyewall. hammering winds at over 100 miles an hour. >> incredibly strong.

have seen. >> it's an intense, intense winders he in orlando, and you don't know what's going be picked up and thrown by those winds. >> a lot of the streets are littered with branch after branch that not safe to be out here right now. >> let's talk about the track. look at this. potential to still be a hurricane in south georgia. >> along the path of this, a tropical storm warning for georgia for the first time ever. >> eventually things will taper off, so recovery will begin. while we're recovering, i want to keep an eye on hurricane jose out in the atlantic by the end of the week. >> wherever hurricane irma goes, we'll be there first. we'll be there with resources and support both to save lives and to help to recover and rebuild these states and these communities.

i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. irma is not finished with its rampage through florida even though it's just been downgraded to a tropical storm. it has sustained winds at 70 miles an hour and is still causing severe flooding. jacksonville has seen at least 15 inches of rain and could get another 1 before the storm is over. nearly 6 million homes and businesses in the state are without power. 200,000 people are in shelters in the state. >> now, the storm is now hitting north florida including jacksonville and tallahassee. it's expected to bring tropical storm-force winds to alabama and georgia by tomorrow. some areas that saw the worst of irma overnight are still under siege from the storm. elaine duke says 200,000 people are in shelters. jeff glor is in st. pete beach along the gulf coast near tampa bay. jeff, good

norah. gulf coast waves really moving this morning as irma continues its slow and painful churn up the state of florida. we saw the worst of it here between midnight and 2:00 a.m. wind gusts close to 70 miles an hour last night. and those strong gusts continue this morning, not at 70 miles an hour, but still significant. the storm is hitting north florida with heavy rain and strong winds as well. jericka duncan is along the coast in atlantic beach just outside jacksonville where a flash flood emergency has been declared. jericka? >> reporter: good morning. the wind has continued to pick up while the rain has died down. take a look at some of the storm surge we've seen from off the coast, and it's not just this area of atlantic beach but barrier island. apparently they broke a record in jacksonville with a storm surge. they h't

like this since 1964 with hurricane dora. but you can hear the sound of the wind. some people have actually ventured outside to see it for themselves. you can see this gentleman right here. the palm trees are moving. we spoke to the mayor earlier today. he said this is what they've been waiting for because now they can get out and see what type of damage this hurricane is bringing to this region. we do know a lot of the roads are impassable. most of the people in this community are without power. the generator at our hotel is working, but power has gone in and out of this hotel. we've tried reaching out to a few people who we reach out to on thursday to see how they're fairing. these are people who decided to stay despite evacuation warnings on friday. we've not been able to get in touch with these people. right now we're dealing with the therce winds.

the storm surge is a problem. the city manager and mayor plan to go out within the next couple of hours to really get a sense of how bag things are regarding damage and the safety of the residents who chose to stay here instead of evacuating. >> reporter: all right, jericka, thank you very much. rescue crews are bringing dozens to safety in orlando this morning. adriana diaz is on the west side over orlando where the rescues continue this morning. adriana? >> reporter: jeff, rescue trucks are still under way. at least 100 people have been rescued from this area. the fire chief told us that this entire intersection was under water earlier today and in at least two dozen homes the water was waist deep. first responders found this puppy in one of the homes. she's a little girl who was left in a cage alone in

to drown. first responders saved her. now, there had been destruction throughout the area, and now we're north from here in indian town, florida. a massive sinkhole is blocking a community. last night there was one fatality. a person said a person was killed in a single vehicle accident. they say it was too early to know whether or not that was storm related but the roads were extremely dangerous. that's one of the reasons why the mayor wants everyone to shelter in place. obey the curfew until 6:00 p.m. tonight unless they hear from officials that it's safe to go outside. jeff? >> adriana, thanks very much. charlie, irma tents to bend a lit toll the west as it moved north. but the threat north of florida far from over. >> jeff, thanks. as irma pushes north it's bringing dangerous wind and rain with it. meteorologist eric fisher of our affiliate station wbz cones

to track the packet of irma, and it continues to be a threat. good morning. >> good morning. we watch irma continue to climb the coastline of georgia and south carolina also. you see those bands. heavy rain rotating in. the heavy rain focused on georgia and northern florida. still a chance for a spin of tornadoes. the latest, its now a tropical storm for the first time in 11 days and 4,000 miles. it is downgraded to tropical storm status. this took a track from the cape verde islands just off the coast of africa all the way across atlantic. very, very rare to have a storm form this far out and still hit the u.s. it almost never happens. usually when they form that close, they end up recurving and going out to sea. unfortunately we have had some bad luck. irma, 11 days. ar saw amazing sights in and

what you see here, the water actually going negative. a negative tide as that water rushed out. we saw those beaches. everyone walked out. we don't encourage that. you can see that climb about ten feet in just a couple of hours and then a slow drop-off. naples area went from its second lowest water level to its highest since 1960 with hurricane donna with the fluctuation back and forth. that's why the rushing water can be so dangerous. if you look at the wind streams, you can see what happens. up the coast to savannah, tybee island and here. not the worst-case scenario we had fear. good news in the one area in tampa bay. as we look toward savannah, we could see near record flooding with storm surge as we head throughout the day tore. norah? >> thank. governor rick scott is with us on the phone as he makes hi way

damage. governor scott, thank you so much for joining us. i know in the keys it's being described as a looming humanitarian crisis. are you considered that some floridians are still trapped in their homes? >> we're going to find out. we've got search and rescue teams going down there. the storm's still in our state. we're seeing flooding and storm surge in the florida northeast area. e hope everybody continues to pray for our state. i'll be going down there with the coast guard in a few minutes. we want to make sure everybody survives this. we've got a great plan with the president. i talked with fema yesterday and today. i've been reaching out and learning more from our sheriffs and first responders around, and we clearly have -- we've got a lot of power out. i want everybody to think about staying safe. we've got a lot of

lines. we've got a lot of closed roads. our power companies are getting out there to get the power back on. the transportation department is getting out to there to clean the roads. the president has provided -- the president said he's going provide every bit of support we need. so we're all going to work to keep everybody's lives and get everybody back to normal as quickly as possible. unfortunately we've got a lot of damage in our state. >> governor, what's the most important thing you want people to know right now, and what's at the top of your to-do list? >> the big thing is the keys, to find out exactly what they need. i've been talking to individuals down in the keys. i want to make sure that anybody that needs be rescued, whether it's in the keys or anywhere el, we don't spare one expense to save lives. we're sending rescue teams over to the jacksonville area because we know we're getting flooding there. the biggest thing is keep

has to take their time. this is a very tough time because you ee going to be out of power for a while. our roads are not clear yet. we've got a lot of downed power lines. i want everybody to remember, stay safe. >> governor, how long will it take to get the power back up? >> we'll find out. we've got assets. we have over 23,000 individuals coming to our state to help repair the utilities. i talked to the biggest utility company in the state. they've had lots of trucks already prepositioned in the ft. lauderdale area. they're getting them out, across the state as fast as they can. we'll provide law enforcement escorts to get vehicles out there. we're going to do everything we can to get the power back as quick as possible. >> can you drive to key west? >> right now we are assessing that. that's one thing we're going to be doing when we go down there. we've got teams going

west north and from miami south to make sure all of those bridges are good. we have -- i think it's 56 bridges. we've got to make sure every bridge safe and passable. we're also working to get our ports open so we can get fuel back into the state. as you know, we were struggling to keep enough fuel in the state firefighter our citizens. we've got some fuel in port tampa bay and port fort lawsut. lauderda lauderdale. but we need to get more. >> thanks a lot. ahead, we'll take you inside one shelter to show you the challenges of both evacuees and their

areas. traveling at night without any electricity, it was difficult to make our way to this point. now they're going to be able to get some help to the folks in the lower keys and middle keys. they'll be doing that all throughout the days and weeks ahead. what we know here in key largo is we've been able to survey a little bit of the surrounding aura, and clearly there was a storm surge effect. but even a little further down from here along the overseas highway here, route 1, that's only way in and out of the keys, we saw boats, refrimg raters in the median, we saw coolers, furniture, things you don't normally see on a street. some of the things we were able to see as we made our way over here. so it is going to be a massive recovery effort again. authorities still are not even sure what precisely we're dealing with. of course, we're in the very early stages of what will be a long and difficult recovery process. charlie? >>la

rule out homes have been damaged. that said, they're welcoming people back. in ft. myers, they got huer winds and water. that was a big concern. the storm did not appear to be as bad as first forecast, but still many people evacuated. some 30,000 went to emergency shelters. the largest was the germain arena. right as irma's eyewall started to smack into ft. myers, that irina started leaking through the roof. there are 5,000 that have taken shelter there. it raised a lot of concern, but the building held and this morning the curfew has lifted. people are starting to head back home. >> reporter: thank you very much, kris van cleave. mayor bill barnett was there for hurricanes charley and wilma. mayor barnett, good

across the state as you know. the good news, and you said it a little earlier, about the storm surge, storm surge here was predicted to be anywhere between 12 and 18 feet, and we really dodged that. we had minimal, minimal storm surge. still have a lot of water though and there are a couple of neighborhoods we can't get into. >> that's a bit of good news that that the storm surge was only 7 feet but the winds reaching 142 mules an hour in naples. what has been the damage to the infrastructure? >> well, you know, that -- that was a gust that was recorded out at the naples airport. i don't think that was sustained, but that was the highest recorded ever. i think that was the highest in the state of florida yesterday. don't know. it's a record nobody wants to have anyway. but the only structural damage down there is

all of -- we have a fire station there, but it's only manned, you know, for the airport. so nobody hurt, and that was -- that's t but if that's the worst, we can liv with it for sure. other than that, the crews are out there. the heavy equipment, loaders, we're doing every single street individually. fire guys are out, first responders are out. all the city's utility people are out. it a going be massive cleanup and expensive, i know that. so far i haven't heard of any injuries or no loss of life, and so i'm really -- really pleased about that. our preparations were good. >> all right, mayor. thank you so much. >> you're more than welcome and thank you. >> we wish everyone there in naples the very best. thank you. the storm passed just east of tampa bay. ar
