the rest of the areas including an tig wa are under hurricane watches and unfortunately it looks likeilar path in the short-term. here's what we can expect out of maria. a category one hurricane and as it approaches, the u.s. virgin islands expected to tlengt ed e into a category three storm. 125 miles per hour. the models have been shifting with the latest run back off to the east. the european model in blue is squarely over bermuda monday afternoon. they posted it a little closer to the u.s. coast and the jury is out on any impacts here to the u.s. then we have the hurricane jose sits out here and moving off to the north around 9. winds at 90. it's a healthy category one hurricane expected to move to the north and not expected at this point to make a direct hit on the u.s., but bringing rough weather including rip currents to the eastern u.s. >> thanks so much. as we track those threats, many are seeing the wrath of irma for the first time. people who evacuated the lower florida keys are now allowed to return home to survey the damage to their homes, but it am cans with a warning fr

i have a feeling that between harvey and irma, you will see tig increa significant increases in that. but that is similar to the numbers for the 2005 hurricanes katrina, rita and others that happened then. we spent roughly $150 billion and our back end calculation indicated we could have spent probably between $8 billion and $10 billion and prevented 90 brs of those dollars being spent and more importantly saved around 90% of the lives lost. we lost somewhere around 1800 americans in hurricane katrina. so the data is out there, the proof is on out there that we can do a better job by being proactive rather than being reactive, but these will be extraordinary disaster response efforts following irma and harvey. i was in houston this weekend gutting homes and the devastation there is amazing. >> one of the conversations that led up to the storm and currently still going on is the future of the national flood insurance pral. what do you think about that program and what does it mean overall to the coastal areas? >> the national flood insurance program, i think items problematic that we'v

manafort, as was reported by the daily beast, paul manafort was still advising trump through the tran tigs. as we get deeper into the investigation, as it broadens its scope we're going to see that habit that donald trump has of keeping people with problematic things around him is going to be detrimental. >> the posture of the folks in the white house around this investigation, i can see it going a number of different ways. one is okay this is a witch hunt there's nothing there we'll be fine. it's going to blow over. the other is, the shoe is going to drop any day and someone is going to show up at my condo and pick the locks. how are people thinking. >> in terms of public, it's the former. in terms of of what's going on in their own heads and hearts is the latter. olivia brought up paul manafort earlier. he's an interesting case in terms of trump's inner circle and white house officials working there because they greatly resent mr. man sfwoafor many of them blame, fairly or unfairly, for the widening scope of the investigation into the finances of the president and his family. they kind o

in fact, there are hurricane watches in effect for barbuda and an tig area. expected to become a category 2 by tuesday. possibly 3 and impact iing puer rico by the middle of the week. i don't like the end of the cone because that's pointed toward the end of the u.s. that's the wrong direction after what we've been dealing with, as far as jose, it's still out there with 80 mile an hour winds. as the hurricane hunter planes are flying in and around it today, they did identify some information that helped refine the track. good news because it looks like the track will continue to be away from the u.s. earl yerl today, the cone of uncertainty was touches places like long island, rhode island, connecticut and massachusetts, but now, less so. still going to see rip currents. this is not a picture we want to see. l.a. time we had 13 named storms by this date on the calendar was 2012. you remember what your that was. sandy. we don't want a repeat. >> and gene, there's about another month left in hurricane season. so we appreciate the perspective. thank you. >> comin
