ken graham, directtheight. national hurricane center, joining us from miami. thanks so much. >> you bet. >> sreenivasan: newshour>> correspondent john yang is in orlando, florida, and he joins us now for more on the a preparatio the planning ahead of this slow moving storm. hijohn, the graph of where storm is going has shifted in the past couple of days. it's moved away from a direct hito florida. has that changed how people are preparing? >> reporter: well, i tl you, hari, what you see behind me pretty much sums it up here on the eastern half of florida we are at the good samaritane society retirement community of kissimmee village and they are moving, voluntarily moving their patients who are under skilled nursing care, to a sister a,facility in deland, flor that's on higher gund, about 55 mes north of here. the evacuations that have been called for have been delayed. because of the slow moving nature of the storm they're now going into effect up and down the coastal areas of florida, on the east coast of florida, even if this storm does not make a direct hi

let's get the very latest on the forecast now from ken graham, the director of the national hurricaneter. ken, once again, thank you very much for joining us. tell us about the path of the storm and if it has made that northward turn. >> yeah, john, we're watching it real close. it looks like we're finally up to about 2 miles an hour. that doesn't sound a whole lot but at least we have a trend of movement and not stationary battering the bahamas. with time, continuing to move to the north. right along the coast of florida and even georgia, south carolina and north carolina with time, they'll all be dealing with this throughout the entire week. >> reporter: chad myers was telling us it is now a category 2 hurricane. what are the chances of it strengthening as it moves out over the open water? >> i think at this point we're looking at kind of keeping that strength, maybe even coming down a little bit. but here's the biggest point i really want to make. we focus a lot on the winds right in the center. in this case even if those winds come down, the entire wind field has expanded. in fact

ken graham is the director ofna thonal hurricaneenter. kengraham, thank you for joining us. give us the latest information you have on dorian. judy, it's still moving to the north. i was stationary over th wmthts for so long, it was a devastating situation. it's bad enough to get hit by a cat 5 hurricane, so it's even worse to have it juit there. we started to see it move at t 1mph aen 5mph. it's still a big impact for florida and the carolinas in time. >> woodruff: how unusual is it that this storm has been sitting in one place and staying thre for so long? >> yeah, it's presentry rare fot a storthisrong to do that. it happens on occasion, but it doesn't happen too oten, especially a strong one like this. when you losall those steering currents, there's nothing to steer this and it just parks and waits for the xt system toth steer, that's a devastating situation. think about 24, 30 hours of water.ry 5 winds and battering a devastating situation for the bahamas. >> woodruff: before i ask you about the hamas, tell us whatut you know abor what you can hererpret as you look at

let's get to ken graham from the national hurricane center in south florida what are you seeing now? >> it's starting to get close to the coast. at least we have movement. we're finally moving. 5 miles an hour. that's better than being stationary. with time along the coast, it will be florida, talk about georgia and the carolinas and close to virginia the rest of the week. >> shepard: so from everybody in the jupiter inlet or the whole coast? >> the whole close. the winds have spread out. we're talking tropical storm force winds of 175 miles from the center. as we get close to the coast and several different spots, you can get hurricane force winds. that's where we have the hurricane warnings. >> shepard: on the future, ken, when this reaches the gulfstream, is the thinking that the intensity will remain fairly stable or there might be a change? >> i think it's going to remain stable. as we go forward, you start to increase the speed. that acts to keep it about the same. independent of a category, the size itself causes the storm surge and the size itself can cause the winds to expan

i want to go now to ken graham, the director of the national hurricane center to get the latest on the forecast for hurricane dorian. ken, thanks for being with us. still a category 3 storm but our allison chinchar told us it has begun to make that turn to the northeast. what more can you tell us? >> just starting to turn and see that movement. that means right along the coast still seeing the potential for those hurricane force winds. look at these areas for tornados all the way up to north carolina, all those rain bands producing tornados. but along the way we're going to keep moving but look how close we are to the coastline. anywhere in that hurricane warning area you can still see hurricane force winds. >> i know a lot of these areas, dealing with charleston, when you start getting up to wilmington and those parts of north carolina, those are areas that dealt with so much flooding just one year ago for hurricane florence. what's your concern for storm surge there? >> storm surge always the leading system for fatalities. along the areas that got hit before 4 to 7 foot, and that's w

i think i'm going to ken graham, the director of the national hurricane center. ken, if you're with me, we just heard chad give information from the 8:00 a.m. update. this storm inching over the bahamas. has it taken its turn northward yet? >> not yet, john. let's draw a circle right around that eye. if you notice in the last four or five hours or so, no change whatsoever, just battering the bahamas. you actually see some of these errand bands move into nah yet. it hasn't made the turn yet. what a battle with time. high pressure steering it, john, has collapsed. now we're waiting on this low pressure system to pull it northward. we're going to watch that today, watch that tonight, eventually start to pull it to the north. >> and again, as it does move north, what can the people here on the coast of florida expect? >> we've really got to keep our guard up with this one. it's not just exactly where the center moves. in the cone, we can see the center offshore, right on the coast, a little inland. the other part of this that's so incredibly important, it's not just c

let's check in with ken graham. can you tell us what it's doing to the bahamas right now?he reports you're receiving thus far? >> yeah, what a dangerous life-threatening situation. 185-mile-an-hour winds in that eye wall and just devastating when it comes to the indiana with. it's not just wind. it's rain. some areas are getting 30 inches of rain and the storm surge is incredibly dangerous. historically half of the fatalities come from the storm surge. it can be as high as 18 feet, some areas, as high as 20 feet. a very dangerous situation. >> how are you able to ascertain what the storm is doing as it continues to hover very slowly over very warm water. already it seems to be through the charts, you know, on its power. how are you able to gauge whether it's intensifying from that point or if in any way it's breaking up or being compromised as it hits land there? >> it's such a historic storm because right now ties for the strongest storm. it's a dangerous situation. this is how we do it. one is with the noaa satellites. we're keeping an yeah on the structure. we're lookin

director ken graham joins us now. thank you as always for being with us.e were speaking to one of your hurricane hunters a short time ago who said from the air they were seeing signs of a westward drift for which means places like south carolina could see something worse. >> some of that drift occurs when you just start marching northward. still not very fast, john. but look at the forecast. even though it's off the coast now, it's dangerously close to south carolina, north carolina just riding right up the coastline here. and meats where we're going to see the winds pick up and the dangerous storm surge as well. >> and the storm i understand is spreading out and getting bigger in size. what does that mean for the coast? >> yeah, more impacts. when these things spread out you start to get more impacts. it's interesting the fact the storm surge has to do with the size of the storms just pushing all that water. and also the rainfall, we start seeing rainfall amounts as well. 6 to 10 inland, but it's the storm surge we worry about so much. so know your zone,

meantime i want to go to ken graham director of the national hurricane center. as always, thank you for joining us. the storm now off the coast of charleston where i am, any sign it has made the turn away from land? >> still moving north at 10 miles an hour. just still so powerful with those 115 mile-an-hour winds. look at these outer rain bands as well. we're seeing some of that rain stretch into north carolina as well. there's actually tornado warnings been issued in some of those rain bands. tornadoes, one of the big threats. but this is a life threatening situation and the storm surge still yet a come. >> and i know you say don't worry too much about where exactly it'll make landfall. because you feel the impact well off the center of the storm. but will this storm, the center hit land over the next 24 hours? >> john, looking here at our plot just right along the coast, our forecast takes it along the coast of south carolina, north carolina. but with those hurricane force winds stretching out 60 miles. even if it's off shore, you're still going to get the wi

let's bring in the captain of the national hurricane center ken graham. i understand this storm is doing exactly what you forecast. explain. >> yeah. i can hear the wind and the rain in the background where you are. it's doing exactly what was forecast. we talked about this stall and it has right now the movement only going west at 1 mail an hour. now it's a waiting game. how far west it goes, that's the question. >> all right. along the florida coast, if it does ride the center of the path, i want you to explain to people what they're still going to feel and the impact they still will endure. >> yeah. definitely trying to make this point so strongly that independent of this forecast, we're so close. it's not just the center. we're talking about 140 mimles out, hurricane force winds. i believe dependent of where this goes, it's a dangerous situation. that's why we're having everybody make sure they get ready. >> and talk to me about the bahamas. it's been called the most powerful storm ever to hit the atlantic basin. what does that mean? >> yeah. think ab

let's get to the director of the national hurricane center ken graham for more on this advisory. so, ken, who's in the daerj zone now? >> still in the danger zone. we talked about all this rain still compounding on all these issues getting that flash flooding. but the other part is if you look at the center over the coast guard station the winds calm getting into that eye. still going to get the hurricane force winds and the center of it just still off the coast, but the eye wall itself, you're picking up the winds, getting those hurricane force winds. still a dangerous situation. >> ken, is this unusual because this storm seems particularly stubborn. and so the idea that we have been reporting on it now every day for more than a week and that it is creeping along, is this an unusual storm from your vantage point? >> yeah, definitely a long-term storm here. we're going to look at the record books and see where it stands. that's going to be one of our aspects we look at. yeah, we've been dealing with this for 10 to 12 days and think about the impacts from the rain and devastation i

. >> all right, ken graham, national hurricane center, thank you very much for being with us. we will speak with you again as this storm proelgs. thank you, sir. and joining us now is the acting fema administrator. sir, thank you very much for being with us. you know, this storm has been interesting. you've been preparing for this for days. it's been moving oh, so very slowly. what's the unique challenge that it has posed that in some ways it has barely crawled toward the u.s. mainland. >> first, thank you for having us. i want to thank the media for being an outstanding partner. that's our biggest challenge, making sure the citizens are still taking hurricane dorian very seriously. the media is part of our team when it comes to these efforts and you're doing across the board a great job as the director of the hurricane center, and at least it's moving and we'll take that. but, you know, the challenge right now is making sure that all the citizens in the affected area or potentially impacted area a small amount could bring issues their way. >> i deknow it does get more challen

let's go now to miami where the director of the national hurricane center, ken graham is joining us. ou with us? >> i am here. >> thank you so much for being here. i know it's a busy day including you briefing the president moments ago. i noticed that it appears as if the storm is starting to make that turn to the north. is that the case, have you noticed anything? >> yeah. you know, you start seeing those kind of things, but remember a lot of times with a storm this strong you'll see it wobble. it's not very smooth. so you'll see it kind of just maybe wobble a little bit here and there. so you have to watch for the long term trend because so far it's going the same direction. we have it still going west at 7 miles an hour. >> so that's faster than we assumed it would -- we assumed it would be stalling at this point. give me a sense, 185 miles an hour sustained wind storm right now over tiny key, tiny island right there, what sort of impact can the storm like that have on an island like this? >> it's so devastating. i mean, think about the landfall that we had at elbow cay and we had

we're going to start with ken graham of the national hurricane center and then go our governor desantise preparedness and then acting administrator graham will talk about the federal effort and the play of resources and how we'll be ready. thank you, sir. >> yeah, mr. president, i want to give you an update on the latest on hurricane dorian. it's about the red in the bahamas and the southeast coast of florida. i want to thank you for getting some of that information out, tweeting and retweeting information to alert people of the storm. it's given us an incredible amount of information. if you look at the structure, it's a textbook case of a very powerful hurricane, 180 miles an hour, a dangerous situation, and moving west at 7 miles an hour. a very slow storm. you look at the eye right here. very powerful moving to the bahamas, bringing devastating winds, devastating rainfall. you can see in some cases up to 30 inches of rain and some of the storm surge. very dangerous situation for them. the sheer size really points to some of the impact as we move along and get more information on th

i want to bring in ken graham from the national hurricane center for a quick update. you have been saying this for days. where america is not out of the woods on this one. we may not get a lot of hurt, but it's going to be -- thaez winds now extending 170 miles from thor the. even though we have a forecast just off the coast, it gets right along the coast by the time we get into the carolinas and just a little movement in the left direction. you can see those hurricane forced winds trech inland. what is your biggest concern right now if it goes along that course you just drew with your hand. >> it's always water. you look at the history of this. 50% of the fatalities in these tropical systems has to do with storm surge. 90% of the fatalities is water. so that's the danger here. we're going to be marching these numbers up the coast here. 3 to 5 feet. we're already getting reports of beaches with water, roads with water. 4 to 7 feet in these areas. everyone's got to pay attention and listen to the local officials. >> as always, we'll stay in touch with you. and we'll co

the national hurricane center director ken graham says don't assume dorian is giving you a hug if it's just hugging your coast. she's likely going to savage it. not necessarily with a 23 feet surges that the bahamas got but seven or eight feet. this much we know. we have you covered. whatever happens and wherever it happens with rick leventhal in jacksonville where they're bracing for the worst. jacqui heinrich in jupiter where things are getting worse. rick reichmuth in the fox weather center on how much worse. rick, what does it look like? >> we do know what it will do and where it's going to do. i've maybe 10-15 miles one direction or the other. there's 24 hours of a loop there cutting a cross the bahamas. the last probably about eight or 12 hours, it's just barely budging. it's moved about 80 miles in the last better part of a day. for the last number of hours, just hasn't budged at all. it's about 80 miles off the coast of florida. good thing it's not moving faster. this is another view of it. look at the center of it. hanging out here in towards grand bahamas and not budging at a

i want to go to ken graham, the director of the national hurricane center. you have been with us for days now, giving us constant updates on this storm, the like of frankly, we have never seen before. what's the very latest? what are you seeing this morning? >> john, just still stationary movement. the winds are still 120 miles per hour, sitting over the same place. they are getting battered by the winds and waves and water. we are just really waiting for the movement today, get this thing northward during the day and tomorrow so we can improve the conditions in the bahamas. >> reporter: at this point, what do you think the people of florida can expect and where? >> yeah, as soon as we start moving to the north, it's going to take a little time throughout the day. if you look at the timing here, by 2:00 a.m. wednesday, we're off the central portion of the coast of florida, and then moving northward up into the carolinas by 2:00 a.m. thursday, so once this makes the move, it will start to accelerate what time, but you're going to see tropical storm force wind

ken graham, the director of the national hurricane center, thank you. >> woodruff: in the day's other news, a new tropical storm, fernand, has formed in the gulf of mexico.ed it has sustainds of 40 miles an hour, and is moving toward northeastern mexico. forecasters expect i strengthen before making landfall. britain's prrie minister, johnson, announced this evening he will call for a new neral election over brafit. that camr he lost a crucial showdown vote to opponents of leavingonhe european uithout a formal deal. he also lost his wn king majorityrliament. earlier, the opposition labour party leader jeremy corbyn lash out at johnson's ideas the house of commons. >> he isn't winning friends in europe, he's losing friends at home. this is a government with no mandate, no morals and, as of day, no majority. the attack on our democracy, in order to force through a disastrous no-deal brexit, is unprecedented, anti-decratic and unconstitutional. >> woodruff: in all, johnson's ruling conservatives voted against him today. he will still need a two-thirds majority in parliament to set an ear

for our briefing today, we're going to start with an update on the forecast from ken graham, the directorthe national hurricane center, and then we'll go to our governors for updates on the state preparedness, and then acting ad morer will -- administrator will talk about the federal effort to have resources ready. >> thank you, sir. yeah, mr. president, wanted to give you the latest update on hurricane dorian, and it's all about communicating that threat to the bahamas and also along the southeast coast of florida. i wanted to thank you for being able to get some of that information out, retweeting and tweeting out information to make sure that everyone's prepared for the storm. i want to start with the satellite, giving us an incredible amount of information. the structure is just a very powerful hurricane, 180 miles an hour, a dangerous situation. and moving west at 7 mile-an-hour, so a very slow storm. the eye right here, very pawrvelg moving to the bahamas bringing devastating winds, devastating rainfall. you can see some phases of it's 30 inch os of rain and -- inches of rain and so

. >> trace: we were just talking to ken graham about this.rricane center has said this may not hit land, have you gotten some resistance from people who are saying they are telling us it is not even going to hit land, why do we even have to leave? >> you will always have folks that will ask you that. they really don't want to have to leave, but we explained that it is all production. mother nature will do what mother nature chooses to, so we just need to be smart. we do encourage them, we let them know very candidly that showed a dire situation occurred during the storm and we end up with high winds, and our personnel cannot get to them, so they are really putting their lives at if you stay, you are on your own. lori, so good to see you. best of luck to you and your town. >> thank you very much. >> trace: before the storm even hits the united states, volunteers are getting ready to help folks in need. we will talk to the founder of the famous cajun navy about the difficult task that his team faces in the days to come. ♪ granted. only pay for

. >> ken graham, thank you, from the national hurricane center. appreciate your time. i tell you, the storm wasn't the only thing that was spinning. he was doing a very good job, the spinning. what do we make? what's behind all of this? the president's obsession with this? >> i don't know if there's the -- what the obsession is with dorian or with alabama. think the obsession more is just being right and being forceful about what he thinks is right and delivering that to the american people regardless of how wrong or his inability to say, you know what, i made a mistake, that should not have happened. if you think about -- you talk about -- >> worried about what's going to happen on capitol hill this week? >> no, he doesn't care. let me not say that. he cares only to the extent that it conflicts with his relationship with his base, not the american people writ large, but specifically his base. to sort of bring the hurricane thing into this part of the conversation, the fact that he would use a map that someone, potentially, him, drew this additional sort of grouped ala

graham calling it a setup. house intel committee reaches an agreement for the whistleblower to testify as soon as possible. we hear different things about the whistleblower's attorney. we'll bring in kenmer independent counsel. you are the perfect guest at the moment to take us through a lot of things. >> julie: a little experience. >> bill: think about the 1990s where public was or where it moved to. where are we in the state of play this morning, sir? >> well, for starters, bill and julie, we got on the wrong street. we're on impeachment alley and we should be on oversight street. there is a legitimate reason for oversight. the reason we shouldn't be on impeachment alley, there is no evidence as i see it of treason, high crimes and misdemeanors. with all due respect to the house of representatives and speaker they got way ahead of themselves and jumped the gun. politics was more than a little to do with this. but this is a serious constitutional process and i'm so glad you had this clip from senator lindsey graham. if he is not on board. if people like mitch mcconnell aren't on board this is given what we know and what we can reasonly expect utterly doomed to fail. that's a terrible

this has been ken graham right here at the national hurricane center. >> sandra: sustained winds overo get pummeled, 110 miles east of west palm beach for the eye of the storm currently is. about florida, said they're not even drawing a line from where the track of the eye of the storm is because there is great concern over the rainfall and edges of the storm affecting the close already and they also expanded a portion of the florida coast that is affected in a hurricane watch has been extended into georgia as well. local officials say listen to all your warnings, heat evacuation orders where and when you have them. >> blake: when we came on air this morning on the east coast, we were told it was 120 miles to the east of west palm, now it is 110 miles to the east of west palm, it is barely moving at this point. they are saying 1 mile per our. that gives local officials from the national hurricane center the ability to go out and say if this is what's happening, this is what we believe is going to happen, listen to all of the warnings but as you heard ken graham say, it is life-threate
