the war of independence interrupted that transformation and turned to st augustine into a refugee camp for loyalists. the number of people ballooned from the 4000 locals to 10,000 people by 1778, and then 17,000 after the evacuation of charleston and savannah in 1782. well, during the war of independence, spain, like france, had entered the conflict against great britain to try to weaken its european rival. and during the peace of paris in 1782, in 1783, spain to trade for gibraltar. they had stacked up a lot of places that they conquered and occupied the bahamas and mobile and pensacola. but britain was not willing give up. gibraltar and spain had be satisfied with reclaiming the gulf of mexico and, keeping what came was now known as west florida, with mobile and pensacola, east florida, including the town of st augustine and its fortress, which guarded importantly the shipping lane from havana through the channel with the bahamas into the atlantic ocean to. so because 17,000 british subjects lived in east in 1783, the spanish treaty protected their property rights and, allowed them a

we have full resources working on that. 106 signals, the majority in augustine, richmond and columbia county spread we are redeploying across the state including consultant contractors to get those 106 signals online. if you come to a signal that is not functioning it is a four-way stop. i have to reemphasize that it is a four-way stop. even if there is part of a signal hanging there and you're saying it doesn't look like a signal you have to treat it as a four-way stop. we don't need anyone else to be hurt or injured. we still have 146 traffic signals that are functional but don't have power. and so as power keeps coming on these will be back functional but if you put that together that's 250 some odd signals that are not working at the moment so we just ask everybody if you are out and about please be cognizant of the signals that are not working. we will ask you to limit your travel in these most affected areas as well while we work to try and get signal power back on and signals rebuilt. that leads me to the third thing. signs. there are thousands of signs that are either bent ove

kemp: augustine is probably the hardest hit area we got on the power situation. a lot of it has to do with transmission and substations and other things that were having to be completely rebuilt. i would reference you to them because i don't have every detail on that. one of the things georgia power tweeted out today, they were having to use a helicopter to remove a tree off a transmission line that was in the middle of a swamp. you cannot get a truck to it. there was someone in a boat signaling directions. that is the level of destruction that was out there and what we are having to deal with. they are making a lot of headway in the augustine area and hopefully you will see that over the next 24 to 48 hours. >> on the lab fire, that facility has a history of repeated violations. this is not the first fire that has happened at the biolab facility. do you intend on looking at enforcement action by epd? gov. kemp: i would just refer you to epd or epa on any enforcement actions. they have the leverage to do that if there are violations. that is what they do. they do

augustine said, our hearts so restless. preachers preaching the truth and contemplating, we feel like we've been given a great gift of the gospel truth and want to share it with others, god's love, that absence we are all searching for. >> the challenge that we face, we have been priests for almost 12 years now and 10 years ago i found the big challenge with the young ones who would say i'm spiritual but not religious. 10 years later we are finding that young generation, i'm neither spiritual or religious. there is this great kind of angst and philosophically there is a huge hole. saying, maybe god exists but he has no relevance on my day today life and that is a real melee, a big problem to have. we need to know that is the territory we are going into. >> do you think there was an era like this before? >> if you look at your student history you know that these things happen in cycles, and cultures tend to diminish when they are cut off from their spiritual roots. with st. dominic, his age and our age have sort of parallel

plus augustine from the university of north maryland. richard bell has a question for you. close going to about this exciting research. it suggests the promise of overturning her with all we knew, but cain did not have a fingerprint on the declaration, if you are able to and so might demonstrate that he did, what is at stake do you think? in that revelation? >> a great question. i so enjoyed listening to the show over the last bit. this is -- it is the writer or artist to make their own distinct impression. with the concept is much more important 18th-century. they were understood to be off anonymous. one of the most intriguing aspects of this research from my perspective is that it happens to better understand the collaborative processes across time and space. there really shedding light on democracy and media today. your colleague has been working on the specific project and they recently retired. we will see what comes next. >> what is in your view the legacy of thomas payne? while she was starting today? >> i think the conversation should be left alone. just to show tha

augustine area. then we have to talk about the storm surge. this is the saltwater flooding. south of tampa, 10 to 15 feet, and realistically now down to fort myers, this is your major zone. no matter where the storm comes on, it's anywhere south that's going to have the storm surge, so it's really this area from fort myers to sarasota that may be in the bull's-eye. in addition, 100 to 120 mile-per-hour winds on the west coast. 80 mile-per-hour winds up the i-4 corridor, then down to miami, 40 mile-per-hour gusts. further north, 60 to 80. this storm is a beast. it is going to be one where you have until 2:00 in the afternoon before you need to hunker down. if you have not evacuated and you are in that area, please do so. this is a storm that is going to change the geography of western florida forever in some places. >> scary looking stuff. thank you for the update. >> sure thing. >>> more than a dozen counties in western florida are under mandatory evacuation orders this morning. and while many appear to be heeding the call, some are choosing to ride out the storm. cbs' nicol

journalist ed augustine is joining me from havana, cuba.o describe what it is like having an entire country without power, and what happened? >> reporter: i think the best way to describe that is if we do a thought experiment. close your eyes and imagine what it is like to live without power for over 24 hours. what does that mean, practically? you go to your fridge to get some food, perhaps a bit of meat or some fish, eggs, they are rotted because there is no power. you pick the kids up from school, if you are able to communicate with your husband or your wife or your partner, because tillich medications are down, because there is no power. bring them home to do their homework, they can't, there is no light. finally, you go to bed. this is the sweltering caribbean. it is difficult to sleep. one air conditioner or a fan, not just to keep cool, but to keep mosquitoes that carry diseases like dengue. you're going to be having quite a worrying sleep night, because there is no power. the reality of being without power seeps into every nook and c

saint augustine, close to 30 miles an hour. daytona beach 25 miles an hour. in orlando, this is the strongest wind last night as milton passed by that they've seen in 20 years, charlie was last time they saw that so this was still a powerful storm despite the fact we might miss the worst case scenario. 3.4 million people are without power. we are winding down. i do think we missed the worst case scenario but it does not minimize that this was significant and there's more time to tell how it all worked out. neil: thank you for your hard work before, during and after, we are not done with hurricane season. adam klotz, meteorologist, a unique breed himself. i had the pleasure of talking to the florida police chief. what a great reaction, no nonsense, she lets you know, if you were evacuating or weren't evacuating, and how is the community looking? >> having a little bit of audio problems from the hurricane roaring through my ears all night. neil: most people got out of dodge and evacuated. not everybody. give me a damage assessment. what does it look like? >> we

the orlando, melbourne, tampa come up to saint augustine, pretty much the entire central portion of thes at risk for damaging hurricane force winds. geoff: so it's not a storm that people especially in the tampa area should expect to ride out. >> conditions will deteriorate on wednesday and you will be cut off from evacuating. you don't have to drive hundreds of miles to get to a safe location. everyone else who lives inland, find a safe place to shelter-in-place by midday tomorrow and be prepared to shelter-in-place through wednesday night and well into thursday. geoff: michael brennan joining us tonight from miami. thanks so much. let's shift our focus to the greater tampa area and what people are doing to get ready. democratic congresswoman kathy castor represents florida's 14th congressional district, which includes tampa and st. petersburg. thank you for being with us, we appreciate it. as we just heard, florida is bracing for direct hit from this monster storm. what is your greatest concern right now, and how are federal, state, and local officials preparing? >> we have an impendi
