david ignatius, thank you for being with us this morning. >> great to be with you. >> coming up, william cohenwith more on the atlantic season hurricane. >> this is when we can expect big hurricanes, major hurricanes. overnight, this hit puerto rico much harder than they were expecting. they have almost 1 million people without power. the torms storm is moving away from puerto rico. the next stop is the coast of the dominican republic. then it's going to come through the bahamas and look out florida in the southeast of the united states. because this isn't going to take a track over land for that much, we will see it strengthening in the days ahead. by the time we get near florida, it could be a category 2 hurricane. so all of a sudden, we're talking serious business and potential for serious damage and power outages, all of florida and possibly the southeast. it's difficult to tell who could get the landfall. today is a gorgeous day in new england. finally, dry weather. watch out in new england. that hurricane is going to bring a ton of rain to you over this next labor day weekend, especially
