chad pergram with more. chad? >> we're waiting for that fbi right now. we don't know when it's going to come in. what is also unclear. we don't know when mitch mcconnell will initiate this four-day process to supply with his promise that they will have a vote on kavanaugh by saturday. he has to initiate that process by 11:59 tonight to put this pendulum in motion. now, i spoke just a few moments ago with lisa murkowski, the republican senator from alaska. she's undecided in this. i asked her whether or not there would be -- whether she had to have that report before he filed cloture. i talked to john cornyn, the republican whip. he said the leaders said we would be voting this week. i would take him at his word. i said wait a minute. what if people haven't read the report, what if people haven't had time to digest it. he said we want to do first things first. he said we need to take our time. neil? >> neil: part of taking their time is, they'll have no choice because apparently there will be this one copy. they don't make copies for all 100 senators? >>

dick move, chad. ( laughter ) no! no! chad broke the bro code!d, you better hope that pierce, jayce, and devlin don't find out about this. ( laughter ) and kavanaugh also fudged some other facts. listen to his answer here when asked about a reference to the beach week ralph club in his yearbook. >> so, the vomiting that you reference in the ralph club reference related to the consumption of alcohol? >> sir, i was the top of my class academically. i busted my butt in school, was the captain of the varsity basketball team, got into yale college. i got into yale college, got into yale law school. i worked my tail off. >> stephen: "i busted my butt, then i poured beer into my butt, it's called boofing. ( laughter ) i'm sorry, what was the question?" ( piano riff ) kavanaugh also avoided embracing the truth about the slang he used in his yearbook. for instance, the "devil's triangle," which, if you ask the internet, is slang for a three-way. but here's what kavanaugh said: >> devil's triangle? >> drinking game. >> how is it played? >> three glasses in

and she said yes. >> that's sweet. >> congratulations gina chad. >> come on a journey with me.tra hd. if you have a swanky tv at home, you might want to check this out. it's also going to show us what was voted in the 10th season and the greatest driving road of all time. >> yes. oh my gosh, yes. you have a fancy sports car or really cool motorcycle, that's the road you want to go it will get up to 9,045s prett g it's cool though. pretty stunning shots and pretty stunning vistas. >> the web went wild for this musical cat gift. >> since then, the internet took over. >> now the guy behind the bongos sfx: tsfx: feet shufflingc life can change in an instant. be covered when it does... .with a health plan through covered california. we offer free expert help choosing the best plan for you. and all of our plans include free preventive care. financial help is available, so check for yourself to see what savings you qualify for. for health insurance starting january 1st, enroll by december 15th. because you never know when life... ...will change. get covered today. think i can do. once

chad, thank you for playing along. a reminder from the governor who said the time to evacuate has come and gone. the time to take refuge is now. you need to stay where you are. about 60 miles from here is apalachicola. >> good morning, john. i'm standing on highway 98, one of the main thorough fairs through. that way is panama city. let me get you to this side. that's the ocean. that's where the water is expected to come up. we're concerned about the storm surge. we keep talking about it. the new projected numbers, between 9 and 14 feet. that means water approaching some of the first floors of the buildings in and around where i'm standing right now. do yourself a favor. look at the map of florida. notice the big bend area. that is the area that's shaped like a c. it is almost as if it is a catcher's glove or a catcher's mitt. when the hurricane comes in, it takes all of that accumulated water and dumps it in the form of storm surge. on top of that, just like the national hurricane center gentleman was talking about a

chad was right. chad pergram on capitol hill. >> it wasn't just me. mike emanuel as well. he reported that as well. >> neil: fine, fine. you reported that and a lot of people were incredulous. oh, that can't be. how are they make it work? what is it like the magna carta? >> it's one copy, yes. tim kaine from virginia indicated even if you had 100 senators file there even at 2:00 a.m., you couldn't get everybody through because there's not enough time. lisa murkowski, the republican senator from alaska who seems to be undecided, she said something very interesting when i spoke with her two hours ago. she said there's readers. i said what is a reader? she said they're reading the report to us because there's one copy and they can't all have the copy in their hands at one time. she said she could ask to look at something. apparently there's people in the room reading the report to the senators, this is a very strange process. we understand for security reasons why there might only be one copy. that's the problem. but again, can people really digest and process this and make t

chad luddington, he was there in the bar, part of the incident.t spoke to him minutes ago. he happens to be the same chad luddington that came forward before this report came out about the police action to say brett kavanaugh was not the man he explained to the senators, under oath. chad luddington, thank you for joi joining us on prime-time. let's start with news. there is a report out there that brett kavanaugh is named in a police report about an incident that stemmed from drinking and being angry out one night. do you know anything about this report? >> yes, i do. in fact, i know a great deal about this report. >> tell me. >> well, it all began -- that evening began -- in fact, i know the date now, i've found it in "the heaartford currant," a program guide for september, 1985, and chris dudley and brett kavanaugh and i went to a ub-40 concert. they were a popular reggae band in the 1980s. in any event, at something called the palace theater. it was a wednesday night, so it was sort of an odd night to be going out, but the concert was a good on

chad pergram is our main guy on capitol hill producer.is this happening in multiple places in washington or are we seeing a one off? >> we've seen protests at the supreme court and on capitol hill all day. people coming in. a group came in to talk to joe manchin in his office, wanted to talk about sexual assault, sexual harassment. there was a group of 20 or so. i've been talking to capitol security officials. even dating back before brett kavanaugh, the level of protests and the level of demonstrations that they were having here at the capitol reaching the levels that they have not seen since the 60s. anti-vietnam era type of things, anti-nixon and watergate types of protest. this is intense. why? the vote here is dancing on the tip of a pin. it could toggle one way or the other depending on one or two votes. it's a swing vote on the supreme court. that's why this is critical. what that has done, it's intensified people on both sides of the aisle, especially on the left, shep. >> shepard: chad pergram, i know you have to get ready for th

when you look at the damage behind me here, and chad could probably weigh in on this as well, this looks much more like what you would see after a tornado. i say that not only because of the way the metal is twisted, there are boats in here, we have seen a number of people come by this morning, especially since the curfew was lifted at 8:00 a.m. local time, 9:00 a.m. eastern, to check on their boats. but look at these shards of metal. they're twisted. some look like ribbons. we have been hearing things flapping in the breeze throughout the morning. and what's remarkable is buildings just on the other side of this are untouched. buildings behind our camera are untouched. a gentleman i spoke with who lives across the street and decided to weather the storm at

chad myers thanks very much. >> dianne gallagher is on the beach at panama city beach, florida. what are you seeing? i can see the waves getting rough behind you. but what are the preparations there like? >> jim, really we're starting to see the wind kick up. we had constant breeze that's kicked up in speed and in force over the past hour or so. preparation wise, the best news is that we're not seeing people out walking on the beach for the most part. we're seeing people pack up, leave hotels, right here along this strip. panama city beach, those who are out here were watching sandbagging happening in condos. you can see the pier out here, farther out that you look, you can see a couple still walking around the shoreline. most people, though, are getting last minute evacuation things in order, including a wedding. we actually had just within the past hour a couple, benny and cindy quinn, who were supposed to get married tomorrow afternoon, right when hurricane michael is supposed to roll in

chad ludington is now a professor at north carolina state university.ou heard his statement, suggesting that brett kavanaugh during his sworn testimony before the senate judiciary committee was not telling the truth when he suggested, when he said he never black out. we're going to bring the senator back in a moment, but let me bring in evan perez and phil mudd to get their reaction. phil mudd, you used to work at the fbi. what is your reaction to what this professor now says, that he doesn't trust -- in effect he doesn't trust the judge because he lied? >> let's make very clear about the difference between what the senators have to look at, whether they see an air gap from what they're hearing from friends, what they heard from brett kavanaugh and what the fbi is up to. one of the things i could see coming up is what were the circumstances at those parties or events, was there drinking, but i don't think the fbi is going out there trying to figure out whether brett kavanaugh was a drinker at high school or college parties unless it relates to the ongoi

>> reporter: chad meyers for us in the weather center. thank you very much. we are looking at the ocean behind us and the level already 2 1/2 feet higher than normal and rising over the next several hours as the storm surge starts to take affect. as chad said, the greatest area of storm surge, apalachicola, hours from where i am. >> reporter: this is 98 running through apalachicola, and this is one of two routes to get in or out of the city, and virtually a ghost town here. this location, this way is where the water is expected to rise. the ocean and some of the river and canals are directly behind me. earlier this morning we had to move to a safer location, and our earlier live shot, we were only above four feet above sea level and my crew and i decided with the strengthening of hurricane michael, it was no longer to stay at that location, and the threats we know here are the storm surge. take a moment and look at the map of florida. check out the big bend location. notice it makes the shape of a "c." it's like a catcher's glove or mitt. think about the impa

let me get to chad myers for more perspective on this. chad, this is -- was rojected to be where landfall, where the storm could have make landfall. what happened that led to what looks like a town obliterated? >> 54 hours before the storm made landfall, the hurricane center had it right within five miles of where it landed. now, they had it at 120 miles per hour and it landed at 155. i get that, but for 54 hours out, missing that by five miles, that's an impressive forecast, let me tell you. what happened? the video sow see here is storm surge, also wind damage, but we know there's more surge involved here because this is a beach town where the very front houses bought the little old houses and put up big houses on stilts. but behind that front row, there are all these ranch homes that have been there for 30, 40, 50 years. the ranch homes are gone. the houses that were on stilts, they're still there. but honestly, there's probably six houses from the main highway all the way to that front house that's on stilts. every single one of those

problem is chad does not want it stay long term. he wants to stay in oregon so we are recruiting for a long-term epic program director we want a transition as long as we have chad here. we've been ensuring good candidate scores. and they're doing an effic install. we have consulting companies to try to recruit them after they go live. we want to work on how to retrain those staff and looking at telecommuting and things with hr to keep them here. over the next years 17% of staff will be eligible to retire. we're working on succession planning and we have a very robust program that bill kim start and we're continuing that process and we're working with other colleges and university to do interim perhaps to do a path of -- programs to do a path of people coming in. not only construction is having problems but so are we in term of hiring people. in the next few months with virtualizati virtualization we have to be metric driven in how we're staffing. epic install we staffed looking at lots of implementation. input from our consultants t

chad is now a professor at north carolina state university. he was a varsity basketball player at yale. brett kavanaugh was not on the varsity team but he enjoyed socializing with the varsity players according to chad. in his statement he said quote, brett was a frequent drinker and a heavy drinker. i know because especially in our first two years of college i often drank with him. on many occasions i heard brett slur his words and saw him staggering from alcohol consumption, not all of which was beer. when brett got drunk he was often belligerent and aggressive. on one of the last occasions i pursefuly socialized with brett, i witnessed him respond to a semihostile remark not by diffusing the situation but by throwing his beer in the man's face and starting a fight that ended with one of our mutual friends in jail. and tonight "the new york times" has discovered corroborating evidence of the incident that chad ludington just described. "the new york times" has obtained the new haven police report of an incident that occurred in 1985 in which

chad meyers has our weekend forecast. it ain't so, chad. >> a coastal low running up the east coast and it's raining in atlanta into all of north carolina and that rain gets into d.c. in the afternoon. not quite to new york city by 11:00 tonight, barely, but it's going to be a blustery cold weekend. go find the best book you can download and get ready for the weekend because it's going to be a windy cold weekend in the northeast. temperatures in the 50s, and winds could be around 60 miles per hour through manhattan and all the way up through the coast of tphaopnew jersey as well. heavy rainfall, two to four inches of rain and coastal waves you may have to worry about like at atlantic city and ocean city and even towards long island. and the temperatures in the next few days don't get out of the 40s and 50s. john, for you, the good news, the game is not in boston 80 degrees and sunny later on today. 5:09 pacific time. i know where you will be. >> he is even forsaking his red sox to look at the book you can read. >> and the

but it was an amazing experience so that was a pitcher we took in chad just just last week and it wasery different say to being in a more conventional safari in a vehicle we were on foot those elephants are very very nervous really outdid in southern chad no elephants left with large tasks at all it's quite tragic to see the way in which you know the elephants are changing the gene pattern is changing across many elephant populations in africa at those elephants got sight of us and disappeared into the bush very very quickly but to be on foot and to hear the rumble of elephants stomachs and the crashing of branches ahead of you is a very extraordinary experience an experience which i pray dearly obviously that my children and grandchildren are lucky to have and this will still be possible in fifty or eighty years time to a story to that yes you know it's going to be a twenty second go how much you can do i've had the fortune to say that they're running a water hole in the southern part of kenya yes to see the rhinos approach to water hole they're very scared animals and always that yo

just terrifying to hear what chad was talking about. the reconnaissance aircraft finding the wind gust of 139 miles per hour. this is the real deal. we are in apalachicola, the big bend of florida's panhandle. i want to show you the virtual ghost town that is apalachicola. you see lights blinking in the background. plenty of businesses boarded up. this area, the geography, if you were just to look at a map of this part of florida, the big bend, it's in the shape of a "c." it catches all the water from approaching hurricanes. that is why this region is so susceptible to storm surge. and also considering that much of the area is without the helpful nature of some of the sea islands that protect so much of the coastline of florida. there's st. george's island off the coast. if you go a little further to the east, then you're without the barrier island. that means that it is very likely that we'll see the storm surge of 13 feet. that's what they're calling for. we know what that means. that's 13 feet above any particular location from where

keep your family safe. >> our meteorologist chad myers is in the cnn weather center.s the latest on michael? >> christine, we are not waking up to a category three hurricane yet. you see the band of lighter color through there. that is dry air. that is good news. we don't want this to be stronger than 90. that would be an amazing landfall. that would be a near miss. it still will be a storm. if this continues in the water for 30 more hours, it is certainly getting to the chance of the 120 mark. that is where the landfall forecast is. 120 miles per hour. close to panama city beach or apalaicola. back to pensacola. you will see hurricane conditions in the next 36 hours in the red zone. it goes all the way to albany, georgia. we are not going to lose an a lot of intensity -- lose a lot of intensity after landfall. tallahassee, you need to prepare for trees falling down. this happens every time. st. marks, prepare for storm surge. 12 feet. i was there for a vivan. if you have ever been there, the nicest town you have seen. this place here will certainly see that intense s

here's chad program. >> shannon, it all goes into motion in less than ten hours. tonight the leader mitch mcconnell keyed up a procedure will vote to end the debate on brett kavanaugh. the senate leaves at 9:30 eastern on friday and by ruled the procedural vote called invoking culture ripens one hour later. that means the senate will vote at 10:30 in the morning. majority of senators is needed to draw the day to the close and if he senate votes to end the

>> i think chad is right. plummeting stock market cannot be good for the party in power, which happens to be republicans. so they don't want to be standing there as the market is going off the cliff. the question is whether what has happened here in the last couple days is temporary, markets will correct by the end of the week, by the middle of next week or not. >> neil: yeah, i can remember in the 87 crash and talking to a number of republicans at the time that said, we're so glad this isn't happening next year, referring to 88, the middle of the presidential election that saw george h.w. bush. we know from the meltdown certainly that we were experiencing in 2008 that it didn't help john mccain. so how big was an impact is this? net-net you're up since the president was first elected and he his argument is you still done quite well. >> we don't know how big of an impact it will be. it's interesting you mentioned what happened to john mccain in 2008. remember, he suspended his campaign. came back. he was going

his name is chad ludington. let's listen to him. this is how he described the incident to chris just last hour. watch. >> brett took umbrage at this and threw his beer at the guy. i actually now found out from the report that it wasn't beer. that i had misremembered. brett said [ bleep ] or something to that effect and threw the ice at the guy. and the guy understandably, even though he had been aggressive in his response, found that was a little one step too far. >> so when he says he took umbrage to it, he says it began with an exchange with someone at the bar his group of friends had confused for someone else. that person then made a snide remark and then the whole thing rolled out, transpired from there. does that confirm or conform to what police gathered that night? >> it does according to the report, it conforms exactly to that account, yes. >> so brett kavanaugh was not arrested? >> he was not arrested, no. >> but it shows -- >> the report indicates that he was reported by witnesses to have thrown ice at a gentleman, but he

chad ludington ended his statement by saying he would, quote, take my information to the fbi. and that brings us to the first bit of late-breaking news tonight, something that may give us a bit of the window into the scope of the fbi information now that the restrictions have been ostensibly been taken off by the white house. that altercation that mr. ludington described in which brett kavanaugh allegedly threw a beer at someone and started a fight, well, tonight "the new york times" reports that there is indeed a police report documenting that incident and judge kavanaugh's involvement. quote, the incident which occurred in september 1985 during mr. kavanaugh's junior year resulted in mr. kavanaugh and four other men being questioned by the new haven police department. mr. kavanaugh was not arrested, but the police report stated that a 21-year-old man accused mr. kavanaugh of throwing ice on him for some unknown reason. a witness to the fight said that chris dudley, a yale basketball player who is friends with mr. kavanaugh, then threw a glass that hit the 21-year-old man in

fox news senior capitol hill producer chad joins me now on the phone. hi there chad. >> good afternoon. >> any sense of what suzanne collins is going to do? >> we don't really know and so i've been doing is gaming out scenarios howbred kavanaugh can get necessary votes to be confirmed if collins is a yes they need either joe mansion or alyssa to get you to 51. >> we don't think lisa will do that. >> don't know yet. but if collins is a yes and mansion are knows that means 50 yays and only confirm kavanaugh with a tie breaking vote with mike pence. now let's say collins is a anyway let's say mansion is a yay and murkowski is a no. pence breaks tie. scenario four kol seasons a no, mansion is a no but murkowski switches to a you owe need pence and area five collins is a no mansion is a no myrrh cow see is a no game over that means 49 yays maximum nomination ofbred kavanaugh is defeated on the floor. >> you've been covering capitol hill long time you've seen -- politics at its best and at its worst ed recently saying to me who managed reagan campaign that th

let's start with chad in germany. the surprisegh decision. >> that was a bombshell for everyone in berlin today as well. chancellor merkel announcing she will not run again to be the party chairman for her christian democrats. they will replace her with someone at a party conference in december. she also said she will not run for reelection as chancellor when her term expires in 2021. there is already speculation she may not last that whole time when they have someone new to lead the party. part of it depends on who ends up running the party. there are already candidates coming forward to take over. a couple have come forward who are big merkel supporters. if they get that job, there is a chance she may hang on longer. some people have come forward who have been vocal against the chancellor. if one of them get it, it is hard to believe she will be able to hang on much longer as chancellor. david: a really big decision. we want to come back and talk to you more. right now, we go to washington for shannon pettypiece. yo

is our very acute i'll give you an example i was in chad in central africa just last week talking to a farmer in a very impoverished area whose crops had been completely destroyed by a herd of elephants now there's no prospect of tourism in that area there's no system of compensation set up for people whose livelihood has been destroyed by wildlife and who am i to go and lecture that far farmer his name was use of about the morality of conserving these wonderful elephants so that our children and grandchildren can see them and then uses dilemma i suppose i was really confronted not just with the practical problems of conserving elephants which i did we want to do but also the morality of finding a solution that works for everybody on this increasingly crowded planet you know when you talk about merging that duality barnaby i want to bring up a conversation that i'm seeing online here so this first tweet is from candy she says there is a war on people living around conservation areas that war is led by and this is her term here con servatius who pretend to love animals more than the p

classmates say they were him as a belligerent drunk, including a classmate from yale, a gentleman named chad ludington, who dropped this bombshell on cnn. >> chris dudley and brett kavanaugh and i went to a ub-40 concert. >> jimmy: holy crap, it's worse than i even imagined. if going to a ub-40 concert isn't proof that this guy has a serious lack of judgment, i don't know. those terrible reggae cover songs. how did this not come up in the background check? they went to a bar after the concert, got into a fight with a guy who looked like the lead singer of ub-40, they're like, hey, are you the lead singer and the guy's like, no, get out of here and kavanaugh threw ice at the guy. >> the guy, understandably, even though he had been aggressive in his response, found that was a little one step too far, so he took a swing at brett, and then they were kind of, you know, two guys fighting. that was all very quick and then at that point, chris dudley, who had his drink in his hand, proceeded to smash it up against the guy's head. well, the melee went on very briefly. i don't know what brett kavanaug

let's go to chad meyers in the weather center for the latest on that. >> making a run now at columbia, south carolina. it's still a 50-mile-per-hour storm with gusts higher than that. i know that trees will still come down at this 50-mile-per-hour number because they are saturated in rain that was left by florence. the storm continues on up towards the northeast. there's the rainfall now. atlanta about to get out of the rain, but all of south carolina and north carolina about to get in it. eventually it rolls off the coast somewhere around hampton roads, virginia, later today. still more rainfall coming down. here's where it was on monday and here's where it was on wednesday. all the way up to 155 miles per hour. let me show you just for a moment what the 10:00 a.m. forecast was on monday morning from the national hurricane center, from the tip of cuba right on up into mexico beach. 120-mile-per-hour storm here, we will zoom in to show you how close the line was from landfall. there's mexico beach right in the middle of the cone. i will tell you, they can do a great job with the direc

and likely to well let the record show you are a floridian saying so you live through the hanging chads and you just added a little bit and blake you're running unopposed so if it comes back that you're lost i think we're going to look into election hacking am i right. yes i would demand a paper ballot recount and what do your constituents talk to you about relating. i have a see other than all of the aforementioned what are some of the other concerns out there blake. you know one of the things we've been working on a lot our government use of drones when it's appropriate for the government to use drones without a warrant supreme court case law has said you do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the airspace above your home and so something that's on the front burner that a lot of reps are looking at is creating a warrant requirement for when police can use drones you know we have to remember the constitution is the bare minimum protections we're entitled to in our republic we can always provide statutory protections for privacy in excess of our constitution and i think we n

but it was an amazing experience so that was a pitcher we took in chad just just last week and it was very different say to being in a more conventional safari in a vehicle we were on foot those elephants are very very nervous stream really outdid in southern chad no elephants left with large tasks at all it's quite tragic to see the way in which you know the elephants are changing the gene pattern is changing across many elephant populations in africa at those elephants got sight of us and disappeared into the bush very very quickly but to be on foot and to hear the rumble of elephants stomachs and the crashing of branches ahead of you is a very extraordinary experience and experience which i pray dearly obviously that my children and grandchildren are lucky to have and this will still be possible in fifty or eighty years time or i'm going to have to store it for the yes you know it's going to be a twenty second. must you can do i've had the fortune to sit out there right in a water hole in the southern part of kenya yes to see the rhinos approach to water hole they're very scared an

do we have chad pergram on? we do. >> i'm here. know what the format is here on out. we got the yes vote. we got it. we understand. now what? >> now the senate is on a clock. this is a post-cloture clock. 30 hours from now the minority uses all of it is time, all the opponents on the nomination don't have to use 30 hours. but that would tee up a confirmation vote on brett kavanaugh if all the time is burned, stuart, sometime just before 5:00 p.m. on friday. on saturday i should say. now there is another fly in the ointment. republican senator steve daines of montana, he is supposed to walk his daughter down the aisle at her wedding in montana tomorrow. but he apparently made arrangements to be here whenever that roll call vote takes place. now once you start a vote you can keep the vote open however you long you want. the record is five hours 15 minutes. on the stimulus package in february of 2009, democratic ohio senator sherrod brown. his mother passed away. he attended her wake in cleveland. they held the vote open 5 hours and 1

chad luddingtlatest friend. he gave a press conference today. he has his first tv interview here tonight. >> great. >> we had two other women on last week who knew kavanaugh. they didn't hate kavanaugh. they knew kavanaugh in college. but they had a very different reckoning of his habits that he offered up to all of us in the senate. when does it matter, when does it not? and how come, quickly, sorry, we haven't heard whether the third allegation from miss swetnick is being heard from the fbi? is she hurt from a credibility standpoint? is she unbelievable? her lawyer, michael avenatti, is here to be tested. >> look forward to that in about nine minutes. >>> up next on "360," why a group of people living nearly 4,000 miles from washington in a remote village in alaska could be a key role in whether brett kavanaugh is actually confirmed to the u.s. supreme court. we'll explain, with ahead. so why not bundle them with esurance and save up to 10%? which you can spend on things you really want to buy, l

what chad said was chad wanted go straight to school because he wanted to learn that trade. mechanics arel very much in demand and can make decent wages. the problem is he had student loans he had to pay off. go to a community go to aor ohio state or trade school like that, student loans are a problem. my opponent voted literally voted against 25 million americans -- the banks didn't want him to vote for it. he voted the other side for 25 million americans to have their student loan interest reduced because the banks didn't want them to be reduced. he sided with the banks instead of with these 25 million students. to tradele want to go school. many want to go to career schools.r four-year they should have that choice. we should help them with their school, period. >> congressman? >> it's ridiculous as the government as my opponent wants to say has all the answers. that's what i said about the minimum wage. minimum wage is a state issue. the federal government setting wage is ridiculous. by the way, when we talk about listening to banks, the senator supported the bailout. to

and from the cnn weather center, chad myers has the latest.er will be giving hourly updates as this thing is strengthening. >> it is strengthening, and they will always do the hourly thing if we're 12 hours or less from landfall. that's where the timing is. we're obviously less than 12 hours. about 130 miles from panama city now, moving north at 13. you can do the easy math there. that's the center of the eye. that's not where the eyewall is. the eyewall is probably less than six or seven hours away. and that's the most deadly part of the wind event here. so here we go. 140 miles per hour, hurricane hunter flew through the storm again. it's on my twitter feed, but a 938-millibar storm for you weather geeks that like to see the pressures, below 2,790 or something for inches of mercury. truly an unbelievable storm that's blown up overnight from cat two to three to four. we're seeing lightning around the eye. still a well-defined circular eye which means this is not falling apart. in fact, if's growing. that's why -- it's growing. that's why the
