from benita beach and up to jupiter inlet. of course, the keys. just inland right there the pink area a large area to the southern tip of florida under a storm surge watch. many of these will be upgraded to a close-up. in this area there could be a storm surge of five to ten feet. depending on where the center of circulation is will determine which part has the best chance of getting a surge. as mentioned before. if the axle eye comes in the state, the entire part of the state will simultaneously be experience hurricane conditions coast to coast. spaghetti models is interesting to watch for clues. you see there is pretty much consensus. and then a spread when we get out into saturday. then we get into sunday and everybody gets the same idea. making a turn and heading north. some are clustered to the east. some in the center of the state and some to the west. the hurricane centers don't look at the center line. in of these are possible. the way to look at this is the center of the circulation is this far east off the coast or this far west. the cha

i worry about people who are complacent, naples, benita, coral beach all the way up to tampa, pinellas county, one of the most flood prone counties in america and are we doing everything we can to get the most vulnerable people to safety? >> right. winds are very visual. flooding takes a while. and you can see it certainly as we saw with harvey and as we saw over beaumont, texas, and port arthur. obviously you can see when the place is all flooded, but as the water creeps up it doesn't seem as dangerous and awful as these crazy winds that are going to rip your roof off and send your car flying. and that's part of the problem. the danger here remains the flooding and the storm surges. >> yeah. the storm surge it's a perilous thing. and people really underestimate the power of moving water. and that water can rise literal literally 4, 6, 10 feet in the span of a couple of minutes. and this is where people drown. if you're in your car, all it takes is two feet of moving water to float your suv or your pickup truck. and, again, i want to stress that this storm, ali, irma, is much, much big

. >> from daytona beach on florida's east coast to benita springs on the west. no part of the peninsula was spared. >> it's flooding that won't stop. it keeps coming up. >> certainly, a lot of work ahead. it's going to be a long time before life is back to normal in the keys. >> things will take a step towards normal. crews spent the day here yesterday doing damage assessments and decided to reopen today with limited service. power is a lingering issue. about 65% of the state lost it. utilities say some will remain in the dark for weeks. courtny for cbs news, miami. >> back in the bay area, a trip to the beach required a rescue for a man and woman in the city. the coast guard released this video. the woman hurt her leg and couldn't head ohm before high tide approached. they were brought safely to shore just before 4:00. >> time now 5:08. incredible video showing moments when a plane tripped a tree and come crashing down into a parking lot. >> plus, we're getting our first look at the brand new steve jobs theater here. coming up, i'll have a preview of their big

so those hurricane watches have been issued from benita springs over towards west palm beach and southward in addition to the storm surge watches which have been put into effect for 5 to 10 feet of water above what's normally high ground in these areas. timing is critical. you might be asking yourself, why are we trying to evacuate and get people out of there already if the storm might not hit until sunday. well, it's so huge, you mentioned 3030-plus miles acros, that means those are going to be arriving possibly overnight on friday into the early morning hours on saturday so timing is really, really critical. we've taken the gfs and the euro models here and put them together on a map. the gfs is the red one. the euro is the blue one. these were clustered together in the last hour. now we're seeing more of a spread. let's put this forward into time for you. this is sunday overnight and this continues to show more of this westerly track with the euro but the gfs wants to bring this thing into the carolinas so nobody is off the hook, the carolina coast, the georgia coast, florida, everybody
