all the way to cape hatteras. almost to raleigh and back to myrtle beach. we'll be watching that closely. winds at tropical force strength from cape hatteras, wilmington, myrtle beach and charleston as well. charleston we saw a 69 mile per hour wind gust a little bit earlier. here's the latest. it is a category 2 storm now. 45 miles east southeast of charleston, south carolina. 115 mile per hour winds moving north northwest -- i'm sorry category 3 storm. moving north northeast at eight miles per hour. again, to that tornado threat from wilmington to cape hatteras, it is -- we have an enhanced risk for severe weather. we also have tornado warnings stretching from the georgia border along with south carolina. all the way to the north carolina virginia border and then tropical storm warnings up to ocean city maryland. norfolk is included in that as well. now we're watching and waiting as it moves along. here is what we look for for the impacts. tonight and friday morning for wilmington, winds of 60 to 95 miles per hour. a storm surge of 4 to 7 feet. rainfall 6

a lot of activity to come down especially in charleston, wilmington, cape hatteras. look how far inland we have the possibility of those power outages, widespread and extensive, hatteras beach to wilmington. chris, we're still talking about a category 2 storm, and that means even though it's not 150-mile-per-hour winds, you can still have a lot of damage. that's why we tell people, don't worry about the category, look at the effects you can see of this system and they can still be extensive. from coastal georgia, north carolina, south carolina and virginia now, i think, all those folks have to be concerned. >> property damage is one thing, but it never, ever can be said enough, hurricanes, if you want to talk about being life-threatening entitieentitie storm surge is what we look for. >> that's a big problem. when you talk about 4 to 7-foot storm surge on top of high tides, that brings it up to 9 or 10 feet. there's where you have homes destroyed. >> al roker, thank you so much. julia, you are in daytona and there's been steadily rising waters there for hours. tell us

cape hatteras, 2:19. as we move up the coast moving into friday, high tide's atlantic city 2:21, montauk 3:46. up in boston about 6:00. so we'll watch that closely. rainfall going to be really heavy. that's another factor from charleston to kill devil hills. we're talking about 10 inches of rain, 6 to 10 inches. isolated amounts up to 10 to 15 inches. power out ages going to be a problem along the coast, charleston, wilmington, cape hatteras. but with those winds that extend out 195 miles from the center we're looking at possibility of outages from salisbury, richmond, raleigh. charlotte could be on that line depending if they wobble to the west or not. we're not out of the woods yet. we've got a long time go, at least another 24 to 48 hours we're going to be dealing with it. >> to be clear here, so far this storm, the effects that we're seeing, this is a result of the storm hugging the coast. >>ing youing had the coahugginge coast. >> the first chance we might see of landfall as we look over here, we mig

off cape hatteras. let's bring in the american and european models. they are very closely intertwined until we get to north carolina. here you see the blue line. that's the american model. much closer. maybe a landfall sometime late thursday early friday. the european model is a little bit slower, maybe sometime friday morning. so again, we may see landfall in wilmington and again at cape hatteras as a category 2 storm but don't pay attention to the category because look at this. as we said, hurricane force winds are out. 60 miles from the center. 175 miles for tropical force winds. so this afternoon from melbourne to west palm beach we have tropical force winds. and the counterclockwise direction is the storm surge that brings, those winds push that water and pile it up against theh. as we get into wednesday it is now kingsland, savannah, up into charleston, again, counterclockwise, kind of a bowl that will collect that water as it moves up into thursday. wilmington starts to get involved as well. and as we move into friday, we're still talking about

it's 50 miles northeast of cape hatteras. the winds are still 90 miles per hour, but here's the big change. finally getting picked up by that trough northeast. it's moving northeast at 17 miles per hour. so this things is now finally starting to book. look at this. we have tropical storm watches all the way up into new finland. we've got hurricane watches for parts of new england. and we're -- i should say tropical storm storm warnings for parts of new england. and then we still have the tropical storm watches and warnings as you come down the south from ocean city to norfolk tropical storm warning and hurricane warnings down to the south around cape hatteras. there is still a threat here that dorian flood threat. we've got 3 million people impacted. this flooding in norfolk is part of storm surge. we were talking to you about this yesterday. we were probably going to see storm surge that norfolk would be involved. from kill devil hills down to cape hatteras where we've got a flood emergency going on right now. stumpy point,

then across the outer banks of cape hatteras. whereas the european model is a little slower with a landfall possibly early friday morning and then continues on out. so we're going to watch that very closely as we get into that. but here's what i want to talk about right now. hurricane force winds extend out 60 miles. the tropical force winds from the center extend out 175 miles. so look at this. you can see they're starting to -- as this makes its move right along the coast, we're seeing the possibility of tropical force winds. and if it makes a little bit of jog to the west, that becomes even stronger. by wednesday evening, kingsland, savannah, charleston, all within that tropical force wind possibility. then we move into thursday. wilmington's involved. so is myrtle beach. as we continue to move to the east you'll see as we get into thursday night, early friday, cape hatteras, even norfolk around that counterclock wise flow which adds to the storm surge. the hurricane force winds just barely off the moorehead city. that's how t

landfall, and that happened around 8:35 this morning off of cape hatteras. it is moving north and eastward, and it's really going to start to accelerate. you can see with the radar within the last couple of hours, there's our landfall, and it's starting to boot out to sea, which is great. but we're still going to see the effects along the coast, 60 miles per hour winds in elizabeth city. here are the peak wind gusts, we saw over 90 miles per hour, cape lookout, north carolina. atlantic beach, even charleston harbor, 75 miles per hour. and, by the way, we had over two dozen reports of tornadoes yesterday as well, so we'll for that. my apologies for not being right on my mark right away. stuart: i'm shocked, janice -- >> reporter: it's the first time in i don't know how long. stuart: that is true. [laughter]

by 8:00 a.m., it's a category 2 crossing perhaps cape hatteras. this is the national hurricane center track. we're going to add in blue the american model and in purple the european model. the american model has landfall around wilmington. the european model may be a little bit slower. early friday morning. and then a possibility it crosses again into cape hatteras. so we're looking at that. that wind field is huge. >> yes. >> so 60 miles out from the center for hurricane force winds. tropical storm force winds 175 miles. and that counterclock weiwise f. as that water is piled up, we're going to see that. we then move into tomorrow afternoon. charleston is seeing it into wednesday night. we move into thursday into the early morning hours. wilmington, myrtle beach, charleston again. then into friday, we're getting up -- look at this. norfolk. you know there hampton bay area, they could see some storm surge as well. and look at how tight the hurricane force winds are. right there. >> again, thaez are serious winds that regular folks -- we don't typi

and basically it was where it made landfall, you can see cape hatteras. a little further to the south, this thing would have hugged the coast and then gone out into the atlantic without making landfall. now it has. you can see it is according to the national hurricane center still a category 1. i want you to look, though, just at how wide the feeder bands are. if you look above this band where it says tracking dorian, you can actually see rainfall now making its way into long island. that's how far this is. we're talking about 400 miles. you can see those heavy rain bands coming all the way into the peninsula. we do have hurricane warnings still now right along the north carolina shore line. hurricane -- tropical storm warnings from norfolk to ocean city. tropical storm warnings for the eastern end of massachusetts. then we get up into canada and we still have tropical storm watches. really the big problem right now as you saw in katie beck's live shot, the rain. we have flash flood warnings stretching from kill devil hills up to norfolk and back, up and

is the forecast wind gusts, tropical storm force winds, possibly hurricane force winds across cape hatterasce winds could affect us across cape cod. that is the track on saturday. and nova scotia. my apologies. i haven't been forecasting in canada for 25 years. here is the track and we will get new coordinates every hour but still the outer banks area if you are looking for landfall it will be cape hatteras, multiple landfalls in the bahamas and then it will raise out towards nova scotia over the next -- >> it is a long -- >> listen, i want everybody to be safe. rob: a rise in 2020 democrats, gun buyback programs, backing a mandatory plan. >> can they take away american second amendment rights? that is the question. rob: joining in his author of power grab jason chaffetz. what do you make of this plan? they are pretty far left on this. >> conservatives, they want to go after gun confiscation. they are proving it, saying it out loud. a constitutional right to bear arms. i have 5 different weapons. if you think some federal authority will come in and take guns from our house, that isn't going

the heaviest bands of the eye wall still lashing cape hatteras.l issue is not so much the rain that is coming down but the storm surge as this storm throws the water onto the very low lying outer islands. the areas in purple have a storm surge warning. the areas in red are looking at a flash flood warning. this is almost begun. we'll tax what is now a category 1 hurricane, having finally made landfall in the united states within last hour on the outer banks and now we are going to get rid of t watch what happens on the forecast here. it will stay a hurricane for a while and it will hold together as it work its way up towards nova scotia and finally get downgraded. kind of an interesting storm the way we have watch this thing. the autumn moon festival happening in chinatown. we'll be in the mid-60s. art appear wine festival in mountain view. 73 for that. the castro valley fall festival happening with plenty of sunshine in the mid-70s. oakland, the pride festival happening on sunday. how do the mid-70s sound? should be a great event to get out to. h

this system, the path now brings it past charleston, wilmington, cape hatteras by friday morning and out to sea. the american model and european models are in now, european models give us a landfall somewhere south of wilmington friday morning most likely and again possibly cape hatteras. we have to watch that. we may still have a landfall from this system. here's what we look for as far as the effects. jacksonville today 30 to 60-mile-per-hour winds, three to five foot storm surge. tros cap force winds extending out from 175 miles to the center, 50-mile-per-hour wind gusts tomorrow, eight to 15 inches of rainfall, plus the storm surge. friday norfolk to wilmington 5r55 to 85-mile-per-hour winds. and we talked about the storm surge, six to nine feet above high tides that will be happening early tomorrow morning around 1:15 to 4:45 from wilmington and cape hatteras as well. anywhere from five to ten inches of rain, and can't rule out 15 inches. another thing we have to worry about, talk about power outages. along the florida coastline you have more tropical vegetation. so the power ou

the storm made landfall in cape hatteras as a category 1 storm. the threat of flooding and storm surge remains imminent. here is a live look this morning from wilmington, north carolina. you can see how strong that is coming in on the shore there. dorian caused flooding and at least 20 reported tornadoes in north and south carolina. at least 30 people in the bahamas have died because of the storm. >>> a search and rescue task force from california is in north carolina to help out during hurricane dorian. it includes first responders from all across the bay area including san francisco, oakland and menlo park. this morning the team is in charlotte and they are there ready to rescue people who may have become trapped in floodwaters. >>> of course, meteorologist mike nicco is here tracking the storm. looking at it's specially as it makes landfall. >>> the eyewall going over the center of the storm, over cape hatteras. the outer banks getting buried if not rearranged by the storm surge, up to seven feet. winds sustained at about 90 miles per hour gust

it is currently 50 miles northeast of cape hatteras, 90-mile-per-hour winds. it's moving northeast at 17 miles per hour. but look at the scope and span of this thing. from the eye, we're now seeing rain moving into new york city and long island and new jersey, 310 miles, 310 miles from the center up to new york. and that's just -- you can see these rain bands starting to make their way in. we do have hurricane watches and warnings for coastal canada, but we've got tropical storm warnings for eastern massachusetts, tropical storm warnings from ocean city all the way down to norfolk, cape hatteras, north carolina still under a hurricane warning. and here's the storm surge warning we've been talking about, ali, from norfolk, we could still see some storm surge. we're going to be watching this very closely. we're not quite done yet. and then the northeast has to deal with it as well. >> i always enjoy working with you, but i don't remember one particular storm that we have spent so much time on. we have thought about this thing well over a week and a half now. wha

east coast is now breathing a sigh of relief because forecasters say once it leaves cape hatteras and the outer banks it's going to speed up significantly and take a northeasterly course weakening more down to a tropical storm warning warnings do remain in effect in north carolina and virginia all the way up to even massachusetts but essentially the east coast as a skate what could have been a far worse situation i couple of 100000 people have lost power over the last 24 to 48 hours that will be restored fairly quickly because we haven't seen any structural damage but this is a situation i think where everyone was prepared the emergency services did their jobs well people heeded the warnings for the most part but essentially in the next few hours as that storm leaves that north carolina coastline and it was always going to brush if not make landfall then the storm will quickly move away as a far weaker system but i've been covering hurricanes like this for about 20 years this is one that's hung around longer than any i've seen before but essentially the east coast really escape what c

and then maybe a second landfall in cape hatteras. but whatever happens, even though we're talking about a landfall or not, there's still going to be winds felt. hurricane force winds are 60 miles out from the center. tropical force winds, 175 miles. that brings those onshore winds, daytona beach, melbourne, into tomorrow morning. then wednesday, we're talking about savannah, charleston. storm surge with those winds. tropical force winds and then piling that water up along the shoreline. moving into thursday, we've got wilmington and myrtle beach. morehead city just about in play. moving into friday, we've moved into the outer banks. and even norfolk, we could see major storm surge working its way in. let's look at that. the storm surge potential this week. 6 to 9 feet from st. simon's island, charleston, myrtle beach into wilmington and cape hatteras. high tide, and this also extends right back into florida. high tide right around lunchtime. and so that means we are talking about possibility of flooding, especially going inland. and

hurricane warnings from north of melbourne to cape hatteras. tropical storm watches for virginia and tropical storm warning back into northeastern florida. here's what we expect as far as the track is concerned. it's starting to move a little bit closer in some of the models to the north carolina coast. by friday morning, between wilmington and cape hatteras. let's show you the other two models. the american model and the european model. the european model makes possible landfall sometime friday morning just south of wilmington and then later on into cape hatteras. we'll be watching that very, very closely. here's what we see as far as individual impacts. today, jacksonville, 30 to 60 mile per hour winds. storm surge of three to five feet. this is tropical storm force wind field. as we move into thursday morning, look at charleston. look how far inland the tropical force winds could go. storm surge of four to seven feet. rainfall of 8 to 10 inches. 55 to 85 mile per hour, a storm surge of 4 to 7 feet and rainfall of 6 to 15 inches. norfolk, we

by thursday morning off of savannah, charleston and then it makes its way past cape hatteras, possibly making landfall sometime friday and continuing on. here's what we're looking at as far as the impacts are concerned. we're talking tropical force winds that stretch out 175 miles from the center, so we'll be feeling those effects along the coast. that will cause storm surge. anywhere from 2 to 4 feet in central florida. coastal jacksonville to savannah, about 3 to 5 feet. 4 to 7 feet all the way to cape lookout, and rain is going to be possibly heavy, upwards of 15 inches of rain in some spots, lester, but from jacksonville to cape hatteras, generally 5 to 7 inches the florida coast, the georgia coast and the carolinas all still have to be on a high alert. >> all right, al, thank you. >>> in california tonight, the search for answers intensifies after that devastating boat fire authorities now saying all 33 passengers and one crew member are presumed dead. among those lost, five members from one family. ploded so quickly off santa barbara's coast, the sheriff says there was likely no

path of it takes it parallel, here, to the eastern seaboard with possibly another landfall around cape hatteras on thursday, winds of about 100 miles per hour. so there will be impacts for those immediate beaches. that's who will get it the worst with this storm system. rainfall, two to seven inches, coastal wind, 40 to 100 miles per hour and a storm surge of three to seven feet. back here in the bay area, we've also had interesting weather. today we've been talking about it for days now, the moisture bringing in humidity. numerous thunderstorms here through the sierra. but right in the bay area, we had a little bit of activity pop around 1:30 in the afternoon with a spotty shower near novato. we are drying out across the bay area, but i'll show you the new change coming in for this weekend. you won't want to miss that in about ten minutes. >>> you're looking live at myrtle beach, south carolina. the wind is starting to pick up, and the skies are dark. it's just after 8:00 on the east coast. jamie guirola's going to join us live from the east coast in about five minutes to continue our coverage

in fact, cape hatteras will be the last shot at a landfall. tropical storm force winds extend 220 miles from the center of the storm. it is asymmetrical, so the 220 miles don't extend to the inland parts. wind gusts, 46 in washington. look for 41-mile-per-hour gusts in wilmington. it then possibly makes landfall cape hatteras, continues moving into the atlantic. the next land masses that will feel some effects are going to be from eastern long island, montauk, on into nantucket, with winds and then it pushes out into the atlantic. that's the good news. then it is finally done with. here are the impacts. a flood threat, rapid rises for streams. drainage for norfolk to the carolinas. heavier rain for cape cod. rainfall amounts up to 5 inches. strong winds extend all the way up the coast. then it is out of here. it is about 50 miles away from nag's head, north carolina. that's where we find nbc's catie beck. how are conditions there? >> reporter: good morning, al. hurricane dorian has made landfall in north carolina. we can see the impacts of it

now seeing a break for cape hatteras, ocean city, maryland. the track for the category 1 storm, this just won't quit. it was maintaining category 1 status through 8:00 a.m. on saturday. 85 miles per hour winds. same thing saturday night, and then by sunday, finally decreasing to a sub tropical storm with 75-mile-per-hour winds. by saturday you're going see uncomfortable conditions. not looking at dangerous conditions in southeastern part of massachusetts but an inconvenience for the weekend, right? as we look at watches and warnings here, lots of colors on the map. i know. gets confusing here. tropical storm warning in massachusetts, parts of cape cod and then up through parts of canada as well. nova scotia, we are looking at a tropical storm watch. that will be upgraded the next couple of days. also had some heavy rainfall overnight, in the past couple of hours. we are looking at flash flood warning. that's a life threatening situation. we are looking at pretty gusty winds, 7 2 miles per hour in nag's head. but we are starting to see it exit

anywhere from melbourne up to cape hatteras, 5 to 7 inches of rain, craig. isolated amounts, though, upwards of a foot may be an issue. and power outages. as we see those winds kicking up along the shore, the coastlines potential for 4 million people without power in florida, especially daytona beach, melbourne, fort pierce, west palm beach. we move up the coast and we move into later today or late tonight on into tomorrow and thursday from cape hatteras, wilmington, myrtle beach, on into charlston and savannah. this is what we're looking at as you look on the radar here, you can he so it's starting to fill in now. we had drier air earlier but now we're starting to get more wet weather. you're starting to see those rain bands coming in from fort pierce, hobey sound, west poum beach. things are just getting going. now that we've got that forward motion northwest at 2 miles per hour, we expect it to start picking up steam. and so folks up the coast are going to start to feel the effects. their weather is going to start to deteriorate rather rapidly. craig. >>

category 1 storm after making landfall on the outer banks in cape hatteras. lashing the region with 95-mile-per-hour winds and dangerous storm surge. statewide more 215,000 homes and businesses lost power as officials just begin to assess the damage there. the hunt for survivors continues in the bahamas and large parts of some islands remain inaccessible. what the bahamian prime minister says you is generational de devastation. at least 30 have been confirmed dead, but officials say prepare for the unimaginable, the death toll expected to be staggering as relief crews have been struggling to access more isolated areas. officials have reportedly sent more tesch shan frsz morticians and body bags to the islands. and miles and miles of december city mated homes. for the people stuck there, the "washington post" reports, quote, some are squatting aban shelters without steady food or water. and the sound of gunfire has echoed through the wreckage with virtually no law on the streets. first let's get the latest on the storm trek. joining me is michelle grossman. so

you tweeted an hour ago that dorian made landfall at cape hatteras. now get the heck out out of there. >> nine days of this. let me talk about what the mayor was talking about. the last second, we get the landfall. then the backside. so here goes the storm, right. you have to remember the winds go counterclockwise. all of a sudden the high winds on the backside rapidly push. this is pamlico sound. the water rose seven feet in two hours. this is supposed to be evacuated. the water is slowly beginning to recede. we can't get rid of this storm fast enough. here's the flash flood warnings we have around norfolk, virginia beach, down to kill devil hills. the flash flood emergency for the sound side floodings. it is not coming from the ocean. it is from the sound. trying to get to the ocean but it can't because it has land in the way. two to three inches in a few spots. so we are about done. not everyone is done yet. we do think it could make landfall in nova scotia as a hurricane on saturday. yes, dorian, unknowing from the beginning and continuing that wa

generally 7-10 inches from fort pierce to cape hatteras. as it picks up speed, even though it's a category 2, i tell folks do not pay attention to the category, that's the important thing. as it goes to the north, the winds are coming around it and where you get the storm surge and heaviest rain and strongest winter. folks along the georgia and carolina coastline are in danger and the florida coastline. >> let me ask you a question, because that's what we do, in all your time of covering storms, have you ever had an elected public official misdirect storm information? >> there was a few years ago in a blizzard here in new york with the mayor. we kind of had a back and forth, and my wife made me back down. >> i know your wife! >> as wives do. and, look, there have been a number of officials. >> have you seen the national weather serves correct an american president? >> no, i have not seen that. there you have it. >> i guess my other question for you, i could talk to you the whole hour but i won't do that. do you ever worry because we've been

it happened at 8:35 eastern time right along cape hatteras. you can see the storm now accelerating away at this point we know the movement is going to be on off to the north and east wih this storm. away from land now. category 1 still as of the latest advisory. winds to 90 miles an hour. >> the movement is northeast about 14 miles per hour. pretty quickly, it's pretty far out into the atlantic. it's picking up forward speed. the concern at this point will remain the flash flooding concern. winds starting to taper down as the center moves away from the storm. we're still going to be looking at the potential for flash flooding continuing around the carolina coast line. now while it is a little cooler in the northeast, the storm has opened the door to some intense heat across the south. look at this. 101 in tallahassee. we've got 100 in jackson. about 101 in tyler, texas. so very hot in the south while in the east we breathe a sigh of relief as the storm leaves. tony? >> that is hot but at least hurricane free. thank you very much. >>> in our ne

. >>> april and south carolina, cape hatteras and maybe the outer banks as it begins to weaken. it should accelerate in 24 hours as it starts to get picked up by a system to the north still feeding off warm water at 85 to 86 degrees so it may intensify a little bit there as it goes over the bahamas the water level there was like six to ten feet so there wasn't much until it got out to sea but it is beginning to make a mo vthe out atlantic side of florida. it is beginning to move. jacksonville and georgia the track is going to stay off shore. the eye might still clip areas right around south carolina north carolina wilmington, cape hatteras the outer bafngz and head out. >> steve, thank you. the effects of hurricane dorian are now being felt along florida's east coast. more than 2 million people were ordered to evacuate out of florida and north carolina. many of them listened and reacted to the warning but some officials think the orders came too early and some people living in low lying areas will not get out before they are trapped by high water and strong winds. and the presid

you can see the wind speeds, talking tropical force winds from charleston all the way to cape hatteras and so they're just going to be increasing as the system pushes through. now, category 2 storm. 55 miles east of charleston. 110-mile-per-hour winds. the motion is moving to the north-northeast at 8 miles per hour. we have hurricane warnings up but we also have an enhanced risk for severe weather. on top of everything else, a tornado threat, quick, they spin up quickly. they're short lived. they are also rain wrapped so they're hard to see. and they're generally weak but still can do damage. here are the warnings now from this georgia/south carolina border. we have hurricane warnings all the way to the north carolina/virginia border. to the north of that we have tropical storm warnings, to ocean city, maryland. and we actually have tornado watches, i should say severe thunderstorm watches and tropical storm watches up as you get into new england. here's myrtle beach today. 55 to 85-mile-per-hour winds, 5 to 8-foot storm surge. 10 to 15 inches of rain. wilmington tonight and friday, th

the counterclockwise flow bringing very strong winds from jacksonville, savannah, cape hatteras friday morning, and then it continues on up into norfolk, where they have tropical storm watches up right now. we've also got the storm surge potential. high tides on top of that around lunchtime, and you'll have maybe up to 6 to 9 feet of storm surge from saint simon island to myrtle beach, guys. again, this is going to continue. it is a slow mover and the danger isn't over, especially with the storm surge, torrential rain along the coast, and heavy winds. back to you, savannah. >> al, thank you. >>> now to the latest on the devastating boat fire off the southern california coast. of the 39 people on board, only five survived. this morning, we're learning more about the victims. investigators searching for answers. nbc's national correspondent miguel almaguer joins us with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. when it became clear to the search teams there would be no survivors, the rescue effort became a recovery. in those chilly waters behind me at this very hour

cape hatteras isn't getting spared right now although it is a much weaker storm.in advantaone advantage ev north carolina has had is the amount of time they've had to think about this storm. they've been able to position fema, the national guard, those utility trucks that have come in from all over the world. so the bottom line is, for the east coast of the united states, this has turned out to be better than expected. obviously for the bahamas much, much worse than anyone anticipated, steph. >> i want to go to the bahamas now. morgan, bahamian officials have called this their katrina. i know you're in nassau now. you got a first-hand look at the most devastated parts of the island. how bad is it? >> reporter: you know, you hear the term category 5, steph, but then you fly to abaco island like we did yesterday, land there in marsh harbour where the airport just opened up after being under water for days, and it is surreal. you keep waiting to drive to get out of the damage zone and then you realize it is simply everywhere you look on every block, everywhere. and s

we're talking about almost 7 landfalls coming up 6 landfalls was a no it was an excuse me and cape hatteras that was a 6 landfall the 7th landfall is going to be in new nova scotia there could possibly be an 8th landfall after that newfoundland canada so yeah it's not it's because the storm has made landfall in stayed in land where it would die out it's come back into the open waters into the warm waters so that's been the big problem with this of course we've been talking about the storm for 14 days now and we're going to be talking about it for another few days as it does go up towards canada but i want to show you some video that has come out of here from parts of cape hatteras they had some pretty good storm surge across that low lying area of the cape now these are the outer islands of north carolina they're fairly low and the water does go over it very easily and you can see here not only that but they were dealing with some very gusty winds. hurricane force winds as well widespread proud power outages across much of that area the storm is now making its way very quickly just off the

at cape hatteras on the outer banks. off the north carolina coast. it is now a category one hurricane and making its way up the atlantic coast. >>> tracking the storm not quite out of the woods yet. >>> the pouring rain and very strong winds and the storm surge continues as dorian makes his trek along the eastern seaboard. this is a four hour time lapse and you can see it is pulling away from the coastline. as will move in closer we can see the pouring rain. right over the outer banks of north carolina. it stretches towards areas of virginia and even new york seeing some rain out of this. these are the current advisories. north carolina still with the severe flooding advisory for the outer banks area where they believe hundreds of people are trapped in virginia has a mandatory evacuation for the coastline in new york city as well as tomorrow. as dorian continues his path. here is what we are expecting. it will remain as it scoots past areas of new york and heads past new england. there are advisory stretching all the way towards canada. as dorian is

hurricane dorian made landfall on cape hatteras, the outer banks of the north carolina coast. it is a category one hurricane making its way up the new england coast.>>> erratic irking damage around the carolinas is leaving some areas intact than others and ruined. cleanup underway in north carolina evens dorian made landfall on cape hatteras friday morning. the hurricane causing tornadoes in both carolinas. severely damaging homes and some businesses. initially knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of people. cruise say it could've been much worse.>> we are installing technologies throughout the state and some were used during the storm. >> barrier islands could still face the biggest risk of storm surges. even inland areas could see flooding, there likely not as bad as south carolina on thursday. >> this latest development shows that we cannot yet let our guard down. >> meanwhile, in the bahamas, where dorian first it is a category five storm, the death toll is expected to rise as crews reach more damaged areas. many people are trying to leave the devastation and the is

we take you into the morning hours, cape hatteras, very vulnerable, this klein. it's a national seashore. you can go to kitty hawk and see is this gorgeous shoreline. residents are expected to see wind busts of -- gusts of maybe 1,000 miles an hour. cape rat ras -- 100 miles an hour. then and then i think within the next 15, 18 hours wer going to sydorian move far enough away that we can almost breathe a little bit of a sigh of relief. there are about 2 million people, natalie, currently under hurricane warnings. 10 million total between the tropical storm warnings and hurricane warnings. mostly in the carolinas. back to you. >> we've still got a little ways to go before that. karp, thanks very much. here's an astonishing sight in the wake of hurricane dorian. we've not edited those clouds right there. the skies over florida turned vibrant purple after the storm passed by. these pictures on social media captured the phenomenon which sometimes happens after a hurricane. scientists say the storm's low-level clouds scattered light from the sun in a particular way gi

, or visit a store today to learn more. >>> hurricane dorian has officially made landfall over cape hatterasina. that happened this morning as a category 1 tomorrstorm. hundreds of thousands of people are without power in north carolina. in fact, there is a power outage impacting all of hatteras island right now. it spawned over 24 tornadoes. officials there are warning residents that life threat thing flooding is also possible. >>> so the bahamas prepare for unimaginable information about the death toll and the human suffering. that was the warning from the bahamas health minister. right now at least 30 people have died in the bahamas. however, hundreds if not thousands and take a moment to absorb that are still missing. meanwhile support for the bahamas is pouring in. mark esper authorizing defense support for the bahamas. and right now someone else lending a hand. chef jose andres' world kitchen is helping feed thousands in nassau. joining me on the phone is josh phelps for world central kitchen. josh, good morning. thanks so much for taking the time this morning. i know you're doing a lo

then up to wilmington, morehead city and cape hatteras eventually. that's all the way out till friday. think of this. by saturday on long island, new york, they're expecting 30 miles an hour or so winds. a storm surge and raging seas. that's saturday. much more than a week after all of this began. steve harrigan kicks off our storm coverage. he's in nassau, the capitol of the bahamas where the coast guard is staging and trying to mount rescues. steve, they have a lot of work ahead. >> certainly do, shepard. it's slow-going for a lot of reasons. you can hear the helicopters behind me. over my left shoulder, you can see a small group of people. most of them have been here all morning. those are people waiting to find out if relatives are dead or alive, if people will get off the helicopters. we've seen a steady flow. one or two at a times. people getting off helicopters, some with broken arms, broken legs on dialysis, diabetics getting into the ambulances and moving into hospitals here in town. the ambulances on those northern islands of grand bahama a

now focus goes towards the georgia coast, more likely south carolina up to north carolina, cape hatterasnd the outer banks as it accelerates out of the picture but the next 36 towards the carolinas. >> steve, thank you. hurricane dorian remains a category two storm with 105 miles per hour winds as it passes close to the coast of florida. it's north ward towards georgia and the carolinas. leaving a wide path of damage off the coast of florida in the bahamas. live in florida where there are concerns that not everyone is taking evacuation orders seriously and we can feel it. we can see the wind too. >> frank that's right. the winds and the rain have picked up today. we've been experiencing sustained winds up to 25 to 40 miles per hour. other areas further south of us have sustained tropical storm force winds so this storm is slowly working its way north before it hits georgia and the carolinas. >> waves battering the shores as hurricane dorian skirts eastern florida. the storms expected to move critically close to georgia and south carolina possibly making landfall in north carolina thursda

in about 12 hours it will be past cape hatteras. in the hurricane center, had it making landfall morehead city to cape lookout, beaufort area. now they've shifted it a little offshore. we're not even guaranteed that we're definitely going to get that landfall. doesn't matter as much. only reason to be concerned about that is some of the strongest winds are right in the core of the eye. 90-mile-per-hour winds 6:00 to 8:00 a.m. in the morning, weakening down to a category 1. outer banks can deal with a category 1. they're used to getting hit by these storms once every four years and the building codes are very strict. i would not see a lot of wind damage from a category 1 on the outer banks. myrtle beach has been in the 50s for hours. it's like a tropical storm that will never end. no extreme winds. wilmington, not bad at all. you're only at 43-mile-per-hour winds. notice we keep saying the core of the storm. this one buoy gusted to 80 miles an hour. that would be enough to do damage if it was on land. the core is offshore. we'll have

and we're just learning that the national hurricane center says dorian has made landfall over cape hatteras, north carolina. >> reporter: certainly starting to feel the effects of dorian here. we should be feeling it over the next few hours but as you look behind me you can see the surf, the rains coming down. we're expected to see possibly 8 to 10 inches of rain. really the big concern here in the outer banks is storm surge. they're expecting the possibility of 4 to even 7 feet of storm surge. obviously we've been watching this storm make its way slowly up the east coast. so we did have time to order a mandatory evacuation. for those who decided to defy that and stay in town a curfew was implemented. they really want people off the streets, off the roads. i am still seeing people out here on the beach. i guess can't help themselves to come take a look. that's exactly the opposite of what officials want. north carolina has prepared for hurricanes three times in the last three years so people do to some extent have preparation and know what they're doing. they are asking people to take preca

at least a week it is now category one and the i left i wall has been moving in over cape hatteras. also the outer banks. it is a category one and starting to accelerate. it is moving northeast at 14 miles per hour. we're still 90 miles per hour. still some tornadic activity. now it is beginning to wind down a little bit. still a hurricane but, for us we cool down. monsoonal moisture, you can see that off to the distance. 50s, 60s, temperatures. fog is there but no breezes at the moment. still a decent breeze lot of that moisture will be pushed off to the east, fog will fill in. i think it will be a little thinner than yesterday. slight warm-up but a cooldown. 60s, 70s and 80s on the temperatures. 402, you thought i was going to say 401. >> it is 402 on a friday morning with the traffic. hopefully it is quiet. >>> we are starting off friday morning commute. let's take a look at the tracy commute. there is a nice start today, no major issues and it continues to look good at livermore. highway four off to a nice start just a lot of nice commute here. the bay bridges lightly traveled.

from morehead city to cape hatteras, that's the greatest concern.ld get clipped a bit, nantucket, martha's vineyard, that area could see gusts of tropical storm strength, that's why we have the tropical storm warnings there. i spread our map out to show you where the storm is going from here. >> wow. >> here's our hurricane warnings up to the norfolk area. tropical storm warnings, nantucket, martha's vineyard, all the way through cape cod. hurricane watches out for areas of nova scotia. storms aufrll the way from souto nova scotia, all the coastal areas, but it may never make landfall. >> unbelievable. >> it's kind of a rare storm. it'll always be known for what it did in the bahamas. if we can get past this tonight without much damage in north carolina, all the better. >> seems like a small world when you put it that way. bill karins, thank you so vf very much. >>> we want to turn to ana mcray, the assistant emergency management director for new hanover county. we'll show you what we mean by that. this is the part of north carolina that includes th

the trouble spots are because we are not done yet, dorian is leaving and it made landfall along cape hatteras and the outer banks of north carolina, the only time this thing did that in the united states. that phase is over but the impact from this thing is still being felt. it is still throwing lots of rain into the east coast but not so much the heavy rain is a big concern. it is down here in the carolinas and chesapeake bay were the two biggest concerns still remain. anywhere in purple under a storm surge morning. we started a moment ago and up to seven feet of storm surge that is a big problem even though the bahamas dealt with 15 feet, seven feet is a big issue. the areas in red, again, northern north carolina extending into chesapeake bay under a flash flood warning for this runoff mixed with the high tide. this is where the storm is now, off the coast. if we take it forward from here, dorian will work its way through the pacific and we believe is going all the way up to canada and nova scotia will it will still be an issue there. quite the lifespan for the storm but it is slowly pullin

and then storm surge onto of that, from jacksonville, up to charleston, and cape hatteras. the rainfall anywhere from five to ten inches of rain but we can't rule out up to 15 inches. and the other big problem, power outages. you're looking at more palm trees from jacksonville down to west palm beach. but you get to the georgia border, south carolina, north carolina, leafier greens and trees. those are now still -- fall hasn't happened. they still have leaves. we've got the extensive possibilities of power outages, along the coast. but the real deal, morgan, is we're talking about storm surge, heavy rain, and winds so from -- the north coast of florida, the coast of georgia, all the way up through the carolinas and now virginia all have to worry about these damages. even though it's a category two, don't worry about the category. >> why is it moving so slowly. >> until we see this -- that ridge really break down and it's allowed to get caught up by this trough of low pressure that's to the north. it's moving slowly, still faster than it was over the bahamas. in fact, this s

you are going through the cape hatteras national park. these are beautiful and barren places punctuated by small towns along the way, and with hatteras at the southernmost end of all of this. as i said, we're beginning to get the winds, the rains we haven't been getting, that we've been worried about, waiting for here in nags head, here at the northernmost part of the outer banks. the evacuation order was put into place a couple days ago. people largely had boarded up their homes, had left this area. as cal said, this is what we're waiting for. we're going to see what's going to happen over these next few hours, but this has been a slow-moving storm. folks here i've talked to said that's what they're most worried about, how slow it's been, how long these bands of rain and wind are going to linger. >> david gura, thanks so much. you and your crew take good care. joining me now only the phone is new byrne north carolina mayor dana outlaw. mayor, thank you so much for joining us. i want to start with these reports that a possible tornado tou

storm surge of 47 feet, rainfall 8 to 12 inches and then from cape hatteras early friday morning, we may see landfall there and it continues to make its way to the northeast. look at this, late friday into saturday, long island, cape cod, 35 to 55-mile-per-hour winds, periods of heavy rain and minor coastal flooding. but the big deal still, nicolle, is storm surge where you have the preponderance of deaths and tornadoes to worry about as it makes its way up the coast. the dangerous thing about the tornadoes is they're rain-wrapped, it will be at night and people will not see them. they will spin up very quickly. it is a powerful storm and the people still need to pay heed to their local officials. those folks that they trust to give them the right information, and they need to worry about coastal flooding as well. it's just a category 2 but that can -- there can be a lot of damage done with that. >> i hate everything about the storm. i'm so sad for the people of bahamas but i love seeing your face every day, my friend. thank you for spending time with us. >>> when we come back, how d

island residents trapped in need of rescue the hurricane finally making landfall friday morning on cape hatteras with winds nearly 90-miles-an-hour, severe flash flooding rushing over four-foot fence lines and raging winds blew the roof clear off this building landing in an adjacent parking lot >> did it scare you? >> yes mostly it scared me for my daughter. >> reporter: heavy winds and pounding rains sweeping into the outer banks after hitting wilmington thursday night leaving thousands across the state without power and hunkered down in shelters meanwhile, further south, several communities are dealing with tremendous destruction after more than 20 reported tornados tore through. >> just unreal to se the damage that happened here. >> reporter: tonight dorian lashing the coast of virginia before heading out to sea. the hurricane's ten-day journey finally coming to an end. well, lester, here is a closer look at that roof we mentioned. it's because of damage like this that authorities will not allow reentry to the outer banks tonight and possibly tomorrow. they say that while the worst of the wea

the best chance comes friday when we cut across the outer banks around cape hatteras. we may see a landfall then. and then it continues to shoot out into the atlantic. look at this, boston is just outside of the cone of uncertainty. here's the problem, we've had a high pressure ridge. now, we expect that to break down and allow a little trough to move through. pick this thing up and shoot it out. however if that upper high pressure ridge stays stronger, it stays depressed. dorian stays closer down to where we see it now and maybe doesn't make that complete northwest shot. so, we're going to have to watch this very closely. just to give you a sense, jo ling, of how close all of this is. this is the force. the yellow, tropical storm force winds. and as it makes its way up by tomorrow, look at this, the storm center is only 45 miles offshore. predicted to be 45 miles offshore. the edge of the hurricane force, only 20 miles. until we get that kicked up in that trough, we could see a wobble. especially if it's a wobble to the west that means the storm comes onshore. that's
