folks here in daytona beach, taking the risk deciding not to board up their businesses and just stay put. others say this one, they will feel a little different. instead they're boarding up their businesses, getting out of town or at least moving away from the water in some of the low lying areas. and they're heading inland. then this category 5 hurricane, they are now on record and tied for the strongest atlantic hurricane to ever make landfall. the problem with dorian, it is just making the conditions worse. dorian makes landfall twice in the northern bahamas. bringing wind gusts of over 200 miles per hour. it's expected to dump up to two feet of rain in the northern bahamas. a life threatening storm surge could raise water levels up to 20 feet, potentially destroying parts of the island nation. >> and some areas you cannot tell the difference as to the beginning of the street. and where the ocean begins. >> tslow moving system is expected to pass over the bahamas on monday afternoon before heading north. florida, the carolinas, and parts of georgia, they are on high alert. >> and

kpix5 reporter hillary lane joins us live from daytona beach, florida, what are the conditions out there right now? >> reporter: mary, it's little windy, otherwise absolutely beautiful day. the waves are intensifying. not expecting the conditions to pick up here until tomorrow night or wednesday. some people are hunkering down, many have evacuated ahead of the storm. hurricane dorian is slamming the northern bahamas, the powerful storm made landfall as a category 5 hurricane. packing winds of 185 miles an hour. >> we need help everything now. >> storm surges topping 18 feet submerged entire neighborhood. local media reports an 8-year- old boy drowned as his family tried to find shelter. this video comes from inside dorian, which is still expected to turn north and avoid a head- on collision with florida. authorities caution the storm could still impact thousands of people along the entire coast of florida. >> our east coast certainly is within the cone still. and people need to remain vigilant if you are ordered to evacuate, you need to do that. >> here in daytona beach, a mandatory evac

latest hour here daytona had 35. couple of buoys in the ocean up to 76. those winds will work their way around the storm and back onto land. when we talk about the storm curving away, will it curve away fast enough? because you see how the ocean kind of curves this way and the land curves this way. as the model takes it to the right, it'll be just offshore. the model eye is about 25 miles in radius, not diameter. radius. if it's 25 miles off shore, that means the eye will be on land. the biggest surge charleston ever had was 12.5 feet and that was during hugo. but a 7.5 foot surge takes them around 10.3 feet. and that is only 2.5 feet short of where it was with hugo. water will be going up. we're probably not going to break hugo's record, but this is coming in second. we'll keep watching for you as the day goes on. models are coming in. the hurricane hunter in the plane now in the eye looking at the storm. we will get more updates hourly for sure. >> all right. we're going to get a chance to speak to one of the hurricane hunters up in the air right now in

i'm john berman on daytona beach in florida. cnn's special live coverage of hurricane dorian churning in the sea there about 90 miles from where i'm standing. but we periodically get the outer bands of the storm over our heads. and you can tell it's pushing the sea, pushing the water into the seawall. the tide is actually going out. the tide is going out, but every once in awhile, the surge pushes the water up past where my feet are. very close to the seawall up hear. so the storm surge is something they are concerned about here in daytona even as the storm doesn't make a direct hit. we've been watching the path very, very closely. we're getting gusts of wind here. and there is some news for the people further north from where i am. let's go to chad myers in the weather center for the forecast. >> john, jacksonville right now reporting a surge of 2.5 feet. now, that's the bad news. the good news is it's low tide right now. but in six hours when the water goes up three feet because of normal tide, all of a sudden we're going to b

it's about wind speed and rain that continues to lash daytona beach. in fact, all the bridges that lead to the mainland and the beachside communities, they've been closed since midnight this morning. in fact, right now engineers with the florida department of transportation are checking those bridges for safety. they are still allowing traffic to come from westbound -- head westbound across those bridges, but nobody can go across eastbound except for emergency vehicles. and, of course, you can imagine for safety reasons because of the high winds that we are seeing just kind of lashing things all around. now, also at this hour, and speaking with emergency managers, they're telling me just more than a thousand people taking refuge in shelters all across volusia county. and it's unclear just how long they'll have to be there, it's unclear when those bridges will be able to reopen if they are, in fact, deemed safe enough. and just right now, kind of as you see the winds kick up kind of without warning here as we are in between these bands, dorian just off

lauren blanchard joins us live from daytona beach. how are people getting ready right now even with the change? >> good evening, andre. let me show you what it looks like behind me. we are seeing a number of businesses that look just like this. they have boarded up, there are other businesses that are not closing their doors, still running as if normal. people here at least and daytona beach seem to be on edge but not entirely too worried especially since the hurricane is so unpredictable. they are waiting to see what happens. we are waiting for about another hour and we will get another update from the national hurricane center and perhaps some more inches there. authorities are telling people it is better to be prepared and have a plan than to get hit and have no plan in place. >>> if it keeps chugging toward the coast and does that late turn, then we get into a situation where we could have interaction with the actual hurricane force winds. >> mandatory and voluntary evacuation orders being issued across the sunshine state with hur

daytona beach 32. as the day wears on, look, you can see the tropical-force winds coming onshore. if there's a wobble to the west, look at this. here's also we talk about storm surge. the counterclockwise flow of air piling that water up right here from myrtle beach, charleston, savannah, brunswick, jacksonville, especially from savannah on to myrtle beach. then as we move on in to thursday afternoon, again that counterclockwise flow, may be storm surge from cape hatteras, wilmington and myrtle beach. so we're looking for heavy rainfall. 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 yo

cnn's rosa flores joins us now from daytona beach. the national hurricane center just issued a hurricane watch and a storm surge watch for parts of daytona beach. how are residents there bracing for this storm? >> reporter: well, officials are letting people know that a mandatory evacuation will be issued tomorrow at 10:00 a.m., but i want to set the scene for you, ana, because i'm live at the daytona international speedway which is doubling as a processing center for the 18,000 men and women from 34 states and canada who will eventually be restoring power to floridians once this storm hits. if you take a look closely, see the different logos, see the license plates. these people are from all over the place. now, here's how it works. they are processed, they're signed in here. they get a safety check and then they're dispatched to 20 strategic areas around the state wherever there are power outages that then they will be deployed from those 20 strategic areas to the impacted area. now, back here to volusia county where i'm live, it's

daytona beach, 44, the latest gust. st. augustine at 41. orlando, 28.e villages, lady lake, leesburg, all picking up gusts to around 35 miles per hour. and that's well inland. 40 or 50 miles inland there as you take a look at that wide arm, the wide arms of the storm as you get those outer bands to come across. we're going to get the closest pass i think to charleston somewhere between 8:00 and noon tomorrow. and charleston harbor is going to be a problem with flooding. storm surge going to be in the four to seven-foot range. hugo is the benchmark. hugo, the water was up to 12.5 at the harbor. and for this storm, 10.3. so only 2.5 feet, less than hugo which made a direct impact here. so september of 1989, 12.5. more than 1940. certainly more than erma and also matthew. this is going to be a push of water up into that charleston harbor. and then we're going to scrape the coast all the way from charleston right along up to about newburn with the eyewall close to if not on land. heavy rainfall for sure. winds will still be about 90 miles per hour when that

folks in daytona are feeling a little bit of a sigh of relief.h tide coming in at 1:00 p.m. in the fear of storm surge and flood is very real but as you can see, it is very high, it's a king tide and will be mixed with the inland intercoastal way, the halifax river in daytona flooded three years ago during hurricane matthew and two years ago in irma. they dodged a major bullet. i got off the phone with the sheriff. things have gone well. no widespread flooding being reported yet. they have just got to make it through this afternoon and through this tide you can see coming up on us. they'll get some water today but doesn't look like it will be anything imagine or. they told me they just made the call to lift curfew tonight. that means things are heading in the right direction. feeling very lucky here in daytona, guys. >> bill: good stuff. thank you griff jenkins down the shore here. back here in atlantic beach the mayor of jacksonville is with me now, lenny curry. good morning to you. you had very strong words of advice yesterday. what did you pic

it looks like cocoa, cape ca navral, daytona and might go in south carolina or the outer banks. that looks to be the track. if it is 50 miles or 100 miles verses a zag. it is too hard to call for right now. that is the way it is looking. it is just absolutely stalled out. but still, 165 miles per hour. had gusts to 100 to 220 over the weekend. some of the outer bands are now producing some shower activity. that will continue until it begins to hawk its move. now it starts to interact with the gulf street stream. the gulf stream is 85 to 86- degree water. it is running into a little bit more drier air which may take it down a couple of notches. it is still plenty of strong enough and has lots of energy to work with. interesting to note our water temperatures have come down. 59 point ray. still 60 in san francisco, but on friday, it was 64. and both monteret buoys are down to 58. that is a big change from just friday. 63 though in the city. 60s for many. i mean upper 50s and 60s. it is just really warm pattern here. look at american canyon. 65. 66 up in cloverdale. but lima valley

up towards daytona beach and so on. we are going to be talking about this three or four days from now when it is up into parts of the carolinas. >> and for those who don't know exactly how this works, when you talk about this thing slowing to a crawl, one mile-per-hour, what does that mean for the storm itself? does it take in more water, more power? what does that mean? >> generally, if a storm is sitting over one spot, it will be deeper in the ocean. so we talk about warm ocean temperature being kind of the source, deeper is much cooler. so it will hold up cooler water from below, and that will eventually start to we cannot storm a little bit, which is good news. it has been sitting over the bahamas, which is really shallow, warm water. if it is maybe 88 or 89 degrees on the surface, it is pulling up water that is probably 85 or 86 degrees. it doesn't change it a whole lot, but in general, that would begin to happen. it will pull up some cooler water, and that could be one of the things. >> trace: back to you as the n

fort pierce and cape canaveral at daytona beach. it is stationary. there are no steering currents to get it going. talk about an area where it parks itself over the bahamas for 24 hours. it does look like it is going to make a move parallel to the florida coast and go south carolina, georgia. the south carolina or north carolina coast ever it is simply not moving. it is close enough now where you get some gusts coming in. they are picking on long the coast. lock how this simply doesn't move. it is amazing to see that long of a hurricane just stationary. now some of those pouter bands continue to produce some rain. you can see them get some heavy thunderstorm activity in orlando and daytona beach. they are still in line for some of the effects. the eye is going to stay offcoast. it picks up the gulf stream. it did cool down because it produced upwelling and that produced cooler water. as it starts to make its move, it is parallel to the coast. 60s, 70s or 80s. temperatures start to cool off yesterday. the thunderstorm activity fired up just staying so

tell us what the situation is in the southeast. >> i'm in daytona right now.are trying to prepare for a lot of uncertainty. we changed our game plan as the storm has developed. we're up and down i-95 here in florida and into the carolinas trying to -- >> doing what? >> well, mostly making sure our folks are safe, that we have all the supplies and food that we need to open back up after the storm if we have to close, and to make sure that the restaurants are secure and we're taking care of the communities right now. as of right now we're open in all of our restaurants, but we expect that might change as the storm gets a little bit closer to us. >> since the storm is changing so much and the forecasts have, what are your plans currently? >> well, right now we've got a lot of resources that have come in from other parts of the state and other parts of the southeast, a lot of management team basically, to provide some extra leadership to make sure we're making good decisions. we're putting people up in hotel rooms and we're hunkered down, trying to take care of fo

here in daytona it is virtually a ghost town. people have gotten out of here boarding up their businesses. there's really not anyone around because this area, officials have warned us here in volusia county while it may not make landfall here, the eye of the storm will only be about 30 to 40 miles off the coast, which had means we here will most likely get some of that  real devastating wind and rain over tomorrow afternoon and then going into wednesday. hurricane dorian strikes the bahamas, hitting the island with 12-foot storm surges and winds gusts topping 200 miles per hour. multiple people have died in the bahamas including a 7-year- old boy. >> we are in the midst of a historic tragedy. in parts of the northern bahamas. our mission and focus now is search and rescue and recovery. >> reporter: officials say they can't even begin to assess the damage until the storm moves west. with the u.s. in its site, dorian is expected to at least hug the coast. prompting evacuation orders. >> we want to evacuate in blue skies. if you w

by wednesday, early morning, east of daytona.th, even though this is a relatively compact hurricane with hurricane force winds, 45 miles outside the center, it will broaden. and so more people, by the time you get to south carolina, north carolina, are going to feel the impacts. now, four to seven feet of surge is one of the impacts we could feel. just because that right front quadrant will be out to sea, the one where we see the dirty side or most dangerous side, just because that's out there doesn't mean you won't see the piling of water and waves at the coast. i want to take you through the rainfall too because that is something that, when we see these parallel to the coast storms, interior rainfall can end up being one of the major issues. so 6 to 10 inches along the coast of florida, 10 to 15 by the time we reach parts of north carolina. there are so many impacts, and this storm is something we're going to be talking about unfortunately through next weekend. guys? >> we know you will be on it. okay, ginger, thanks very much.
