lot of the heavier rain has kind of shifted off to the north and to the east, so parts of the florida panhandlethe worst of this. when we do eventually see laura run over some of these areas, maybe they are not as soggy as they could have been. it just isn't all that large. only at 40 miles per hour. going to continue to weaken. laura now that we have to pay attention to, this will be the stronger of the two systems. just south of cuba. this is going to lift up to the gulf of mexico, and those waters are warm. that is what fuels a system like this, and it is going to have an opportunity to really strengthen -- currently forecast to go up to a category two storm before making landfall wednesday into early thursday morning. 105 miles per hour. so the winds will be stronger. it will be a bigger storm. with that, we will see the potential of more rainfall. maybe widespread in the forecast, about an inch of rain. this one is going to bring a whole lot more rain than that. this could shift on where ultimately this lands. we are seeing closer to 68 inches. makes this move again. we are talking about l

other tropical storm of course, that's threatening the same region from texas really to the florida panhandle is tropical storm marco. its winds are 70 miles an hour right now so it is almost a hurricane as we speak and it's expected to turn into a hurricane in a few hours to a day as well. monroe county emergency planners are going to meet this afternoon and decide whether or not they're going to open of up a hurricane shelter down in key west but for most of florida, almost the entire state, neither of these storms is really much of a threat so up in the mainland, miami, there hasn't been that usual rush on gasoline stations and publix grocery stores and hardware stores. the real threat is where these two storms are coming. which is louisiana in particular, east coast of texas, as well as coastal alabama and mississippi and maybe even into pensacola. back to you. eric: phil, we'll be watching. looks really beautiful where you are right now but as you know that could change. thanks. arthel. arthel: meanwhile, on the west coast, dozens of fast-moving wildfires have scorched a million acres in

since dragon is capable of splashdown on either side of the florida panhandle we have two identical recovery vessels ready to support. one in the gulf of mexico, which is what we are utilizing, and the other located off the east coast of florida able to service landing sites in the atlantic ocean. today we will be splashing down in the gulf of mexico off the coast of pensacola, florida. waiting for bob and doug. -57 plane if it has not taken off already, it will soon. >> it has taken off. >> that will provide the views of dragon during reentry. it will allow us to see the capsule as it reenters. if you were tuned in for our demo broadcast, it was basically a big ball of light coming at us. we will also have cameras on vessel, so asvery dragon gets closer and is deploying those parachutes, we will be able to have, hopefully, really clear footage of that occurring. >> dragon's altitude continuing to dip. 174 miles over planet earth. we are 11.5 minutes when we expect to hit interface. dragon will feel the effects of being in a denser atmosphere and we are tracking that blackout to come around

the showers and thunderstorms will stretch back through parts of alabama, georgia, and the florida panhandlethat and marco, we have warm water ahead of the storm. more water to travel through and the upper level winds are going to be conducive for strengthening. we could see rapid intensification of the storm over the next couple of days before it makes impact. anywhere from louisiana towards the texas border. so 60 mile-per-hour sustained winds is expected interacting with cuba. once it gets into the gulf of mexico we think it will strengthen and we could deal with our first major hurricane of the season. i wouldn't put it past this storm. there is nothing in the way the tear it apart once it gets to the gulf of mexico. the water is way above average like bath water. forecast precipitation with marco we could see couple of inches of rainfall around new orleans and back into texas, then comes laura. the trending models are showing it moving a little more towards the west. i think as we get into the 5:00 p.m. hour and we get the new advisory we might be dealing with more of a cone that moves

their spacex dragon capsule flashed down off the florida panhand panhandle.astronauts in 45 years. as mark strassmann reports, nasa wants to know how sightseers si were able to get so close. >> reporter: after 64 days in space, bob behnken and doug hurl at the reunited -- hurley reunited with their families. >> to be where we are now, the first crude flight of dragon is just unbelievable. >> dragon spacex separation confirmed. >> reporter: their 19-hour journey home began saturday night. more than 260 miles above south africa. crew dragon's fiery plummet into earth's atmosphere reached temperatures of around 3,500 degrees. blacking out communications for about six minutes. in mission control, spacex founder elon musk, front row center, waited anxiously to hear from the crew. >> dragon spacex com check. >> i hear you loud and clear -- >> reporter: under four giant parachutes, the capsule descended 15 miles per hour, splashing down in the warm gulf waters. >> splashdown.

luckily for them, the waves and the wind were calm in the panhandle, pensacola, florida. >>> speakingof splash downs, in alabama a man will probably be doing a double check next time he wants to take a plunge in his pool. >> what in the blue blazes is this? >> can you imagine? that's an alligator swimming laps in steve mccullen's backyard. in his pool, there you go. it looks bigger there, too. after somehow getting past the perimeter fence. >> i've been looking around, seeing how he got in there. there's nothing, so he must have climbed in. get out of my pool, man. >> and guess what, he eventually did. oh, my. >> how; right? i guess he just politely left on his own. i don't think he was going to intervene in that. >> very politely, yes. >>> you're going to notice there's smoke in our sky. the first thing i want to do is update you on a fire we mentioned earlier in the newscast. this one just started about two hours okay in collus a county. it's about 200 acres now. i want to show this to you from space. if you can see it from space, there's a lot of smoke coming from it. let's switch

the panhandle of florida -- stretch it back a little bit, there is tropical storm laura. as we get into the next 48 hours or so, we are expected to reach 85 miles per hour. of course, that would make it a hurricane. let's come back home. let's see what we are expecting. the wind is generally light. we have 13 miles per hour, air quality is suffering. today, the rain is improving. it helps cleanup just some. it is unhealthy for sensitive groups. in the inner east bay, the valley remains with the worst weather for today. temperatures right now, upper 60s in livermore, low 60s in santa rosa. for the afternoon, similar to yesterday, a tad cooler for some, 70s and 80s for some, antioch is expectedto 95. there is your extended forecast. temperatures will cool more. you haven't seen the risk of what we have had. some of this was reported in overnight hours. there is not much change on thursday. it is warming up slightly on friday and then cooling down for the weekend. back to you. >>> rosemary, thank you very much. we are looking at a clearing in san francisco. they had an earli

just some rain that's heading northwards into the panhandle of florida. nothing you can't handle.recast from the hurricane center has the winds weakening dramatically today. in the new orleans area, we'll get maybe sop squalls that will go through. i do not expect it will lose a lot of power from this storm. all good news with marco. now, laura, all day yesterday, you know, all the meteorologists around the country, we knew that laura was the storm to focus on. this was the one that had the potential to at least be a very dangerous storm. right now, it's just south of the cuban coastline. it's over the warm water of the caribbean. it got disorganized over cuba and has a little bit of sheer coming off the north right now, but still has 65-mile-per-hour winds. it won't take much to go back up to hurricane, to become a hurricane as we go into tuesday. and then you notice, the hurricane center has it going up to a category 2, 105-mile-per-hour hurricane, making landfall between houston and new orleans wednesday night. so all of a sudden, that's a pretty serious storm, with the possibi

result of attacks. 1869, you have as an example war in florida which was a war to end reconstruction, establishing jackson county, this was the panhandle community in florida, whiteishing it as a supremacist stronghold, resulting in the loss of nearly the entire black population of jackson county, a figure that in the hundreds. memphis in 1892, a lynching and following, displaced 6,000 black residents, monnet, missouri. i want to call your attention to these --several of missouri, 1894. the entire black population out. driven many of them would settle in city, a nearby community in the southwest corner of again, in 1901, just seven years later, you have pogrom affecting many of the same people who are driven from pierre city. my own family, i should mention, my mother's family is from carolina, wasrth affected by the racial massacre 1898 in wilmington, eventually settling in chicago and i haven't talked to my mother about red summer yet. pierre city's program is another in joplin, missouri, birthplace of langston 300-plusisplacing refugees, many of them fleeing to nearby springfield, missouri, which will come up soon. missouri,pringfie

you look at hurricane michael a few years ago down in florida that wiped out a county in the panhandle of florida a month or two before the election. they were able to set up alternate polling locations. they've done a pretty good job of anticipating issues over the last primaries. warning centers polling locations, you can see what transpired in kentucky where they used a big arena. that's another issue i did not touch on, but we should expect that not all of the classic historical polling locations will be used. there may be schools that are out of service. fire departments where we need emergency technicians to make sure they are safe. one of the great ways to do this are to identify new spaces like sports arenas. you saw down in atlanta where the hawks play. these are big open spaces where you can have socially distancing. i think what happened in kentucky where they used a venue like that, they actually had pretty good success. i think there were some challenges at the end of the voting day where the courts intervened and allowed voters to continue through. but it also shows a cou

the rain sheared away from it in the last 24 hours it's gone towards florida towards about $250.00 millimeters of rain in the panhandle now there is still certainly rain around here but it's quite possible there are say not likely that this thing will just end up being a load of rain showers and that was the good news i was talking to rob out just now now whatever it does it is going to make it extremely wet and fairly windy along that coast of louisiana from new orleans westward most likely going to get to tuesday you've got 2 storms haven't seen 2 in the same place to go of mexico for about 60 years but the size of lower is the potential problem and of course its path is what happens during choosey and wednesday as laura gets close to the coast by this time laura may well be a category 2 or 3. erica and it's paul overlaps markers so that's an area where we have an overlap and the potential risk of double trouble. at the moment isn't particularly wet so fingers crossed you have fingers across into them of course we're going to be monitoring that as it progresses forward so we're going to be covering that over the nex

close, butly not so those who lived in florida in 2004 well remember getting three storms crisscrossing the state. the fourth storm ivan hit the panhandle is unusual to have two this close in time, but if you think about the currents of the upper atmosphere that push storms, they tend to -- up. you get storms moving along similar tracks. you is why historically have a decent chance of getting at least two tropical like systems. these are more intense and closer in time then we have seen before, but that is random chance. we are seeinghing laura move west northwest, do we have any idea at this point about where it is going to make landfall? what does the cone look like? >> right now, the forecast models are fairly tight on laura, which is a big relief. this weekend, things were all over the place. they are looking at the upper gulf coast area between northern texas, between houston and the mississippi delta, it is focused right now. the current track has it making landfall south of lake charles, louisiana. that is rich territory. something like half of our refinery capacity is on the texas-louisiana coast. or as storm in baytown, far sou

florida deals with shelters? director moskowitz: you know better than anybody that different counties will do it differently. folks in the panhandle, and some of the more rural counties, will continue to use the school model. obviously they will make tweaks to that to be in compliance with cdc guidelines, fema, the red cross. aret of the counties there looking, rather than putting in cafeteria, or in the are instead dividing people up by classroom to give that social distancing with only a certain amount of people per classroom. that has been any debate of solution. a lot of our structures are built with significant hurricane mode in mind. it is really going to differ by county. i do echo what mike said, which is a lot of counties have looked at the big box stores that are no longer around, target, cosco, to do that kind of congregate sheltering as well. some areas, like the panhandle, not congregate sheltering. because the prevalence of covid is not that significant and the availability of hotels is as,ously not as available say, south florida. it will be a mixed approach. making sure that those counties have the resources and to

this was mexico beach, florida, three months after hurricane michael. once known as mayberry by the sea, the panhandleives, 90% of its buildings were damaged, and there's no telling how many residents left and will never come back. >> it's hard to ignore what the data that is being put out about global warming and the oceans around our continent and the rise of those. >> and knowing that, though, would you invest here? would you build -- >> no. my house is over there. no. >> but at what point is there a emotional obligation from leaders, from business to say, i'm sorry, you can't build there anymore? unless you take all the risk. >> you have to think of the economics of that. what becomes of the most valuable tax-based lots and not only mexico beach but along the coast, is the state willing to buy your property? >> because the value of that lot pays your cops -- >> that's right. they pay it all. sugar sand. that's exactly right. >> the mayor tells me he has an annual budget of $3.5 million. but just the cleanup from michael is estimated to cost up to $60 million. in a future of storms made bigger, str

florida deals with shelters? anybodynow better than that different counties are going to do it differently. i think folks in the panhandle, folks in more rural counties will continue to use the school model. they have made tweaks to that to be in compliance with cdc, nema and red cross guidelines -- fema and red cross guidelines sent out our plan. rather than putting people in auditoriums or in the gymnasium or cafeteria, they are instead dividing people out by classroom to keep that social distancing with only a certain amount of people per classroom, so that has been an innovative solution. a lot of our structures are built with a significant hurricane code in mind and hurricane windows of the like. i do echo what mike said, which is a lot of counties have looked at the big box stores that are no longer around, target, costco, to do, get sheltering. -- two do congregate sheltering. will only do, they non-congregate shelters because the prevalence of covid-19 is not that significant, and the availability of hotels is obviously not available in the south florida or in the jacksonville or orlando area. it will be a mixed
