[inaudible] we're going to get to floyd or florence, excuse me. we're going to push forward and concentrate on the life safety issues . all right. all right. so in regards to florence. just because the wind speeds came down, the intensity of the storm came down to a cat 2, don't let your guard down. the forecast has not changed. it has remained the same, here's why. as the system is encroaching on the coast, the wind has expanded so what you're going to see in a matter of hours is these wind bands that far precede the center of circulation will start pushing water against the coast but more importantly, up the back bay and inlet areas. norm search is not a problem just along the coastline, is going to be a major problem into the streams and tributaries that come out of sound areas that push up into the sound like the pamlico sound. storm surges, many of you have been placed under evacuation. we are asking citizens to heat a warning. your time is running out. the ocean is going to start rising along the coast and in the back bay and inland areas wi

comparing it to hurricane hugo and floyd in the late 1990s. we also hear from officials with the epa, the army corps of engineers and the national oceanic and atmospheric administration. >> to make meaningful improvement to make sure we run programs and policies according to regulations and bottom line is we will continue to fully cooperate with any investigation that goes on and on up to any mistakes and push forward and keep going, keep moving on. regardless of an article, right now i'm when it was focus on floyd and that's exactly where attention is to be from the standpoint of the life safety mission so with that will invite inner federal partners. florence, excuse me. >> do you feel confident you are following the law as it relates -- >> we'll get to floyd -- florence, excuse me, we'll get to floors and will push forward and concentrate on the life safety issues, thank you. [inaudible] >> linda? all right. so in regards to florence, just because the wind speeds came down, the intensity of the storm came down to a category two, please do n

regardless of an article, right now i'm 100% focussed on floyd. that's where our attention needs to be. we're going invite in our federal partners. florence. excuse me. >> reporter: you are following the statutes as it relates to the use -- >> we'll get to floyd -- florence. excuse me. we'll get to florence and we're going to push forward and concentrate on the life/safety issues. all right. so with regards to florence, just because the wind speeds came down, the intensity of the storm came down to a cat 2, don't let your guard down. the storm surge associated with the storm hasn't changed. it remains the same. here is why, the as the system is encroaching on the coast, the wind field expanded. what you'll see in the next coming hours the wind bands that far proceed the center of circulation will push water against the coast. more importantly, up the back bay and inland areas. storm surge is not a problem just along the coastline. it's going to be a major problem way up into the streams and tributaries that come out of sound areas that push up int

this storm is almost a combination of hurricane hugo and hurricane floyd. you know, it brings elements of both. hugo brought high winds and inland impacts and floyd caused a lot of inland rainfall that caused a lot of problems. if you look at the disaster dollars connected to either one of those events, this one has the potential, by all means, to line up with that. yes, ma'am. >> hi. this is a question for mr. cheatham. staffing-wise, how has this impacted the ability to do your job and keep people safe? are there positions that aren't filled that should be there? mr. cheatham: we're staffed at the levels we were during last year's response season in 2017 with harvey, irma, maria and the california wildfires confronted us and we're prepared to move. administrator long: yes, sir. >> spectrum news. you guys talked a lot about how well relationships with state and local officials are, especially in the carolinas. are any noticeable vulnerabilities that you noticed in that relationship that are void or in terms of services ahead of this that you say this is a

you lived through floyd.mage that floyd did here and what you imagine florence doing. >> when floyd came through, it took everything we owned, vehicles, clothes, house, everything. and they're expecting this to be even higher. so we know it is time to go. it's already up in our yard. >> the river expected to crest monday, a new record, 25 feet. tucker, what all have you and your brothers and sisters been doing to help your family prepare. i watched you physically loading up trucks today. >> we have been moving beds, linens, clothes, as much as we could to get it out so we don't lose it like last time. >> where to, where will you go? >> we don't know that yet. we know we're getting out of here. >> the tractors are packed up. a lot of your personal belongings. you said you had an enclosed trailer on the way here but hasn't been able to get here. what happened? >> the road on 210, the bridge is washed over. my son-in-law is on his way, but he had to detour and come down i-140 to get here. we are hoping that -- w

there were 52 fatalities, and the rainfall was the story with floyd.ful cat 4 or anything like that. it was the excessive rains that fell in inland counties, places that were many miles from the coast. and that really caused that great disaster. 66 of our 100 counties were declared disaster areas. unfortunately with florence what we're seeing emerge could be a lingering storm that dumps copious rains that unfortunately might even approach what we saw in some cases with harvey. harvey set new rainfall records, and i think everybody knows that story. and right now that's one of the fears. but there are other things to be concerned about. that storm surge you mentioned on the coast is another great concern we have, particularly because the storm is likely to slow down, track very slowly across the coast, and that could put the storm surge through multiple high tide cycles. >> so, let's talk about -- you mentioned harvey and floyd. let's talk about hugo here. i want to put this up. this is florence compared to hugo, which hit back in 1989. it was previousl

never have river levels higher than floyd in '99. go google what the floyd river flooding looked like from '99. it was horrendous with homes under water. just because it went down to a category 2, the water issues with the storm will be life threatening and we will have immense destruction of property because of the storm surge and the river flooding. >> never say never. so to all of those people in the region, please heed the evacuation warnings. calls. if a flash flood comes through, you cannot protect your home. let's head to wilmington. right in the storm's path. joining me is a man who is very busy these days, the mayor of wilmington, mayor, it's impossible to say is your city ready for this hurricane, but how prepared are you? >> we're as prepared as we can be, stephanie. folks have had about three days to prepare. i think most of our citizens have heeded the warnings. a lot of people have left the area, evacuated the area. we're beginning -- starting to feel those first bands come into the community here. and it's -- we're as

he was saying that long before hurricane floyd came. and we saw it then. we saw it at matthew. we will probably see it again if this storm does anything near what they said it would do. it doesn't take a whole lot of rain around those lagoons to create p problems. the sad part about having to deal with this stuff is it doesn't have to be this way. it does not have to be this way. if somebody in this state would have the backbone to make smithville put superior technology on the ground instead of bailing them out by inc. urging them to attack the people that are suffering. amy: naeema muhammad, you are in environmental leader in north carolina with the north carolina environmental justice network. has the state gotten in touch with you because you reach out to so many people? have they prepared appropriately? >> know. nobody has reached out to us at any level. not the state, local, or federal do.l, to ask what can they or here is what we have in this is how you can use it. we have had none of that take place. amy: i also think people when they hear this, i mean, this is outside

and some of those were during hurricane floyd. your own hasize for safety to not drive where water covers the roadways. especially at night. a lot of the flooding is going to start in the river stem levels later on tonight near coast line. and increase sunday into monday further inland. always remember turn around, don't drown. that's the main thing we always say. concern beyond that continues with the track as it moves into the abe lasheans sunday into monday -- appalachians sunday into monday. and also into the middle region early next week. due to the recent rainfall we've had over the last couple of weeks, it will not take that much rainfall for additional flash flooding to occur in these areas. one to three inches in a couple hours will lead to flash flooding. not as much as the maun rivers as we anticipate -- main rivers as we anticipate over the carolinas. finally, the national hurricane center's next update will be at 11:00 a.m. >> good morning. neil jacobs from noaa. in addition to forecast and decision support from the n

it was held in 1999 during hurricane floyd at 24.06 inches.e and tropical storm florence have broken that record and may surpass it even more because this storm is not moving, christi. it is moving at virtually 2 miles per hour. when i hear 2 miles per hour, i think of the fresh prince song, 2 miles per hour, so everybody sees you. we see hurricane and tropical storm florence. it is staying here for quite awhile and cannot move out quickly enough. >> all right. victor, thank you so much. we're going to victor in a couple of minutes here. florence slammed ashore in north carolina as a category 1 hurricane just a little more than 26 hours ago. it has since been downgraded, tropical storm. this is still dangerous. i want you to look at the fury it brought with it as it hit. >> the wind is whipping stronger than it has in the last 24 hours. >> the eye made landfall at wrightsville beach about six miles from where i am, wind speed of 90 miles per hour. >> this isn't just water coming this way. the ocean and the wind are forcing sand up into the air

it is reallyle remark here's floyd. the latest on floyd, it was a little more ragged. e eye looks really good now. it was down to 130 miles per hour. now back to 140-mile-an-hour storms and you can see, we're not far off now, from making landfall. most likely in the carolinas. the pressure down to 946 millibars. onshore. most likely thursday night into iday. coming on shore. it makes its way, coming down to a category 4 hurricane. wd then moving back to the south andt our area. yesterday at this time, the cone ofde uncertainty inc d.c. today it is well south of the metro area. it is very good news for us. >> i said it is looking ground hogs day. each and every day through at least tuesday. plenty ofclouds, showers here and there. kind of feeling muggy out there. take a look through tuesday. myrtle beach, a foot or more. wilmington, 20 inches or more some of the areas around north carolina. just thr inches of rainfall. that will be catastrophic. as we start to look at your weekendoutlook, so many people are asking me about this since i've been on vacation. people are t'

for floyd. the block chain jaensch and others are working on goes way beyond bitcoin. it will not only revolutionize money transfer but contracts of all kinds. it will allow complete strangers to deal with each other directly one foot in mathematics and cryptography as long as the system runs this program and we know exactly what will happen if you enter into a contract that specifies an amount time and condition then you can be certain of the outcome eliminates the need for trust. trust in the code a revolutionary idea. but yet she wants to take things even further. we want to give things their own bank accounts for example i can go to a bank today and open an account as a private person or as a company but my car can't open my charging station or knock on my locks we're connecting things through the block chain so that they can accept or make payments and enter into complex contracts. is going to visit a test customer on behalf of a big energy provider. her star sharon charge is trying to solve the most pressing problem facing electability germany has too few chargin

you just heard janice, bigger than floyd, bigger than matthew two years ago, do you think authoritiesare taking precautions to prepare? >> i think they have, eric as janice dean said, this is a slow-moving disaster for this storm to hoover at and 2 miles per hour, you know, we've got that issue, we've got the issue of trees, we've got the issue of tremendous amount of water as example in union county which i represent, we've already had a fatality with a tree that fell over the roadway and a lady hit and unfortunately died but the secondary roads are really treacherous and i hope people are not goated into a sense of false security because we haven't had the outages as coastal counties have had. we are going to have anywhere from 10 to 15-inches of rain along with the gust that come with it. eric: that's very important you pointed out because often times you think it's fine, as the poor woman found, you don't know what debris, electrical power could be on the road and could be hazardous. >> i was talking to an airline pilot and he was saying that a commercial airliner is built to land

goes for the cape fear river as well, we are going in record territory here, record territory past floyd, past matthew the last couple of years, the bottom line is we are not done yet, we will see the potential for more massive flooding in the areas that have received over 30-inches of rainfall with another 6 to 12 even 18-inches more to come, not only the threat for heavy rain we also have weak tornadoes being reported across north carolina, no tornado warned storms right now, we did have tornado warned storms earlier, these are fast-moving-weak tornado that is could cause structural zaj. keep that in mind as well. easily 6 to 12, 18-inches, that will spread well inland, that's why the fear is western portions of the carolinas and eventually up towards the tennessee river valley and the ohio river valley, so taking this so seriously, this is already one for the record books arthel. arthel: absolutely janice dean, we are certainly not out of the danger zone, thank you, jd. eric: city officials in historic city are conducting welfare checks after they rescued hundreds of people from massi

toxic hog waste ended up swamped by floyd.eam, polluted wildlife in a big way. as of yesterday, 77 hog lagoons, quote, have either released pig waste into the environment or are at eminent risk of doing so. that's more than double the count from the day before when the number was just 34. today, according to the state, the number of hog lagoons that have structural damage or have already been releasing toxic waste or are at imminent risk of doing so jumped again, from 34 two days ago to 77 as of yesterday to 110 as of today. and those are just estimates based on hog farmers self reporting. in the current conditions a lot of farmers can't even get to their farms to even assess the damage. the real number of these hog lagoons spewing toxic waste, it could go up dramatically. and tonight we have reason to believe that it will. it's not just the farmers who can't get back to see how much damage there is. it's also inspectors from the state, from the north carolina department of environmental quality. flooding is so bad they've bee

of north carolina through the afternoon, here are the rainfall totals, we have surpassed hurricane floydack in 1999 so we are now at the rainfall totals prove correct the tropical cyclone on record for north carolina. it doesn't matter about the category, this is going down in history books. the tornado threat is going to be ongoing throughout the afternoon, no tornado warned storms but we could see the threat short -- or weak tornadoes that could cause structural damage. 30-inches of rain within the last 12 to 24 hours, it will continue along dropping more heavy rain and the flash flooding will be ongoing so flash flood warnings in effect for such of north carolina, south carolina we are concerned as well as virginia, we are at at least moderate or major flood states and as we go through times, this is 36 hours, the flooding potential extends through virginia, widespread events, at once storm starts to move we will get the flooding towards tennessee and ohio river valley, but here is the area that we are concerned, we are at historic levels and the rivers and that's why we are getting e

comparing it to hurricane hugo and floyd in the late 1990s. we also hear from officials with the epa, the army corps of engineers and the national oceanic and atmospheric administration. >> to make meaningful improvement to make sure we run programs and policies according to regulations and bottom line is we will continue to fully cooperate with any investigation that goes on and on

this is much worse than floyd. >> much worse than hurricane floyd back in 1999., this flooding is expected to be up to 24 feet. this is brunswick county, the border of north carolina and south carolina. the people here have stayed as long as they can, and the warning is that that water you saw in that footage we showed is expected to reach rooftop levels, so people need to really heed the warning and get out now. >> dana: indeed. thank you, bryan. that's remarkable footage. as i mentioned, power is slowly being restored in north carolina. there are a number of statewide outages, dropping to around 70,000 this afternoon. that is welcome news for a lot of people there. alisha cuneo is in that state, what are they doing to get the lights back on? >> they are absolutely working on the clock. i can show you what they're doing. he talked about the 70,000, that's pretty remarkable when you consider the height was 1.7 million. right behind me here we have got duke energy crews who are working on this. duke energy said 20,000 crewmembers from 17 different states get the l

people here remember floyd. they remember hugo.originally was forecast to actually come to wilmington and took a hard turn into the charleston, area. we had fran before that and just a number of hurricanes that i would say that this hurricane has a unusual track it usually comes from a more southerly location. it's a little different than what we are used to seeing and preparing for. given the forecast for the inland rains, i think and the slowdown of the hurricane, it is just a different fo storm for us. >> shepard: you have had more time than what you offensive do when they come skirting up that coast. i figure people are watching and listening. is there a message for people not just your town but up and down the coast about what happens in the tropical storm force winds come and what kind of rescues they may be able to expect? >> if you are still on the island, with the mandatory evacuation you need to get out there won'ten power or services. as a matter of fact, the town staff has hunkered down off the island in a secure locati

almost like a combination of hugo and floyd in '89 and '99. disaster response and recovery is one that's executed, and federally supported. what fema is doing, is prepositioning the federal government's assets to support each one of those governors that are about to be impacted with achieving their goals. that's the way emergency management works best. >> i'd like to point out, what we learned last year, we have got to build a true culture of preparedness with our citizens here in america. this is a partnership, and it takes anything from neighbor helping neighbor all the way to the federal government when it comes to responding and recovery. >> can we ask you about preparations. fema doesn't own the power grids in any one of these states. a lot of them are owned by the private industry. we have business emergency operations center calls, we're concentrating with the private vendors to make sure they have strong mutual aid, and we set up incident support basis to help stage power crews from other states. it's fema's job to make sure power comp

. >> they're all different but the river flooding in this case, it could be worse than hurricane floyd and people were speaking with folks in town for that storm, everything was fine, but this could be much worse. >> well, we're already seeing in that new bern area in particular in that one area we've seen so much flooding in overnight if people had been with us all night we have been right on top of that as it was breaking. and we expect the crest of that to come tuesday, higher than the 1999 crest of floyd so that's for sure in that area. i wouldn't be surprised to see now that we still have that storm and the rain bands will move into other areas, we just may not have gotten the reports from those areas. i'm sure that other towns, it's not just new bern that is going through it right now. other areas are, new bern has been well staffed and been on twitter and been sending out images so we know what's going on there. but there are a lot of people huddled in their homes under similar rain bands in similar conditions that just haven't been able to get the message out. >> new bern being

which they kept for thirty years and it kept track of the causes of deaths of their floyd's the most dramatic findings were about cancer for the company as a whole this was thirty three thousand deaths that were in this corporate mortality file so included people who had worked all over the u.s. . but then when you look at specific plants like the i.b.m. plant in san jose there was some extraordinary excess costs of deaths one was brain cancer the other was not hard to conceive the foma another was melanoma the skin and in the women breast cancer was three and four fold higher than expected. that was the heart of this settles a lawsuit. in a similar a courtroom today the first trial out of more than two hundred similar lawsuits filed against i.b.m. former i.b.m. workers jim bore and a lighter hernandez say they developed cancer from exposure to toxic chemicals at i.b.m. san jose facility in the late seventy's or early ninety's i mean literally tried to prevent the results of the tally analysis from ever seeing the light of day in fact they went to the judge and said this can't be use

players go beyond just playing it they create the they take the characters from these balls off floyd and create close play and they create communities and you know i think both of these there isn't so topics are superphosphate for the future of video. to show in the victoria and albert museum and back at the beginning at least in appearance it's an arcade retro style hands on that you can touch and try to cultivate experimenting and having fun is what your games are all about and in this case in the museum. we turn our attention now to some wildlife and the northern bald ibis may not be the most beautiful bird in the world i mean look at it it is not it's a face only a mother could love but it is one of the rarest now the species was almost entirely extinct with an initiative between the european union and the world wildlife fund was launched to save it now a unique resettlement project is underway and we take a look at the now is how things are going so far. it's an impressive sign when thirty one northern boulder ibis is flying from germany to their winter quarters in italy. to mot

we experience flooding back in floyd, we exceeded all those records now.is pretty devastating. >> reporter: we know now that today, maybe tomorrow will be the day so many of these rivers will crest. in new bern, the news river is causing those evacuations. pushing up there later today, down in jacksonville where i was yesterday, we went on some of them and here is what one of the volunteers had to say along with people he rescued. >> i was acquitted when fran and bertha had, they were bad but nothing like this but i couldn't imagine if it came in at four five. i want the water to go down so we can clean up and get straight back to work. >> lost all three of my vehicle, they are all flooded out. i don't know what we are going to do at this point but we will get through it. >> reporter: the president intends to come down at some point but he doesn't want to when it is going to impede rescue and recovery operations. jillian: so much work to be done. rob: any sense when you are coming home? >> reporter: i will come home when the story is done, it is far from o

we had a concern with floyd and matthew. the record rainfall rate for the area is like 25 or 26 inches. if we do get this 30 plus inches of rain, we surpass that easily. we will have impacts that this area has never seen before. >> i remember floyd where there was a problem with the confinement operations and the waste from the waste ponds. it sounds disgusting. if you have storm surge and rain and already saturated ground in north carolina, there's an industrial risk here too. >> that is right. if yyou -- that is right. as you said, we have the agriculture waste as you talk about. any pollution that gets into the water and it hurts the environment and the sea life for many months afterwards. >> just a reminder. the wind and storm surge and immediate effects of the storm, but then so much happens after that as well. >> as people try to rebuild their lives. reid, can you speak to the preparations that have been m e made? has everything been made? >> i think the city has been prepared. i lived here for over 25 years. i have be

in '99 floyd brought a ton of rain. it damaged hundreds of homes, cost billions of dollars in damages. but those folks decided to stick this one out and given what we're seeing here this far inland, i can't imagine what they're dealing with right now down there. >> we do see the wind speeds. i'm watching them on sam's map and it doesn't appear as if you're going to be out of it any time soon. any advice to him, sam, as you watch this? >> no, as those bands are whipping around, victor, you know exactly that you're in for it now. you're very close to where the eyewall bands have been. that has the worst wind and the worst rain. and it is kind of restormed that line of storms so you'll be in it for awhile. that 76-mile-per-hour wind gust is likely to happen a few more sometimes over the next couple hours. >> you're welcome, the good news from sam. >> victor, the whole thing is just hang on but keep an eye out for debris because, you know, when you step out into that wind it gives us a good view of everything that is happen

we go to record stage that tops floyd. some people in eastern north carolina never thought water levels would get as high as floyd. we'll stay within records all the way to tuesday. that means there's houses that haven't been flooded yet that have to wait -- we're into thursday night. that's four, five days from now, brian, we're going to have destruction being done because of the slow-moving disaster on the coast. because it's category 1, i am thrilled we are not going to have as much wind damage. maybe we won't have quite as much power outages, especially away from the coast. but it does presiden't really h anything that's going to change from the water issues and the surge and the freshwater flooding from the rain. >> all right, ibm cairnes starting us off. please don't go far. we'll be coming back to you a lot over the next couple of hours. nbc news correspondent kerry sanders whose first rodeo this is not is in carolina beach, north carolina for us. hey, kerry. >> reporter: hey, brian. let's take some of the data and

that is jamie floyd.residentwe trump and the first lady walking out what the president and first lady poland. live from new york, this is bloomberg. ♪ david: tesla is our stock of the hour and it is in the crosshairs. shares falling steeply after a bloomberg scoop that the company was facing a criminal probe by the justice department. this is from -- a criminal probe is in its early stages. it is going back to tweets by elon musk that he is, contemplating taking tesla private, having funding secured. that initially sent shares higher. but then we have seen them fallen fluctuate. the criminal inquiry is in its early stages and this can take several months. this follows a single inquiry -- sec.il inquiry by the the sec foundhink something that would lead them to something more serious? >> it is unclear at the moment. they are running alongside each other. it goes back to the tweet we had from elon musk back in august. is the part where he said that seems secured to be putting him at the most risk. later, he

back during hurricane floyd, dozens of hog lagoons ended up swamped by flood.ste downstream killed wildlife and now in this new storm that's happening again. fir officials estimated of 77 hog lagoons of pig waste are over flowing after florence. today the number of hog lagoons that have been releasing toxic waste or at imminent risk at doing so, that number jumped again. we got 34 to 77 as of yesterday to 110 as of today. those are just estimates based on hog farmers self-reporting. in the current condition, a lot of farmers can't even get to their farms to assess the damage. it could go up dramatically. tonight we have reason to believe that it will. it is not just the farmers who can't get back to see how much damage there is. there is also inspector from the state. flooding is so bad, they have been unable to visit the sites and hog lagoons or the ones they know they breach or they can test the water and see what sort of damage is being done. investigators have been relying on things like photographs of these hog lagoons, widespread devastation and tell-tale

home that was built after the home that previously had been there and it was destroyed by hurricane floyd 20 years ago. the pictures help us show people how quickly the waters are moving and how quickly that threat is escalating. erica? >> absolutely. so important to get that context and to see in less than a day what has changed. appreciate it. i want to bring in polo sandoval in north carolina, a little bit south of where i am. polo, just before we spoke to you in the last hour, an important development and it was a worst case scenario. where do we stand with the river and flooding there? >> it's a source of so much concern at this hour for about 20,000 people who call lumberton home. the main point is that the main levee along the banks of the rising river is okay. that is very important to keep in mind. however, in the last few days, we have seen the secondary system that was built by members of the community and the u.s. national guard and also the community members here comprised of gravel, sandbags. this is a makeshift levee put in a different part of the city. the main access poin

that has been talked over in the wake of floyd in 99. in the wake of hurricane matthew two years ago. 2016. but today we are being told by officials that the levels of this river could reach beyond what their breached in those two hurricanes in the aftermath of them. in other words, this river could get to around eight teen feet. major flood stage is considered a 12 seed. so we're talking about six feet over major flood stage. as the combat to the left here on the bank on which we are standing, it is lined with residents and businesses. one of them a children's center. clearly you can understand if we reached a record levels here, jon, that this town will face a very committed very serious situation. they have faced it before a 99 and 2016, but if we reached the 18 feet level that is due to go up about two feet every 24 hours. so within the next three to four days we are likely to reach the 18 feet and if we get there as i say, even for these battle hardened citizens, it is going to be a very new and very different flooding threat. jon:

as for alvarez, 52 fights and only lost one to floyd mayweather earlier in his career.eather being the best pound for pound fighter of his generation. a lot of talking points since they faced each other 12 months ago. it was a controversial draw. many felt that the lufkin won that fight. —— ade adedoyin. alvarez has always maintained he never deliberately tried to cheat and he came from contaminating me but it has been a major talking point very heavily criticised in the build—up to this. as for the controversial draw last time out, how concerned is he about thejudges ahead time out, how concerned is he about the judges ahead of this fight? i believe this is more interesting. i think this time because as a more correct —— the judges are more correct. is there any anger in your emotion at the moment, because of what has happened? not now. no. i understand the situation. it is a crazy business, this boxing business. right now i feel only business. right now i feel only business only and fight. so much is they give is manufactured by the rivalry between this pair is not. i

hurricane floyd, still the storm that did the most costly damage to the state. $6 million and one local official said many lessons were learn and they want to get ahead of this one. >> i covered hurricane floyd and that damage came from the way the system sat over land for a long time and became such a soaker even after it lost hurricane status. all right, kaylee hartung, appreciate that. still to come, serena williams calls out sexism at the u.s. open and now she has been fined. details are straight ahead and the vice president said he would take a lie detector test as the white house frantically searches for the anonymous author of a scathing op et detailing life inside the white house. you made moonshine in a backwoods still. smuggled booze and dodged the law. even when they brought you in, they could never hold you down. when i built my family tree and found you, i found my sense of adventure. i set off on a new life, a million miles away. i'm heidi choiniere, and this is my ancestry story. now with over 10 billion historical records, discover your story. get started for free at anc

that was hurricane floyd in 1999. they expected to break the record going higher than 23 feet which woulded mean a rise of 20 feet in parts of the river. when people hear this is now a category two, i think a lot of people wake up and think it's not so bad. can you explain why this is the size of this thing is enormous. it doubled in just the size of it. >> it really has. we focus on the number. we focus on the winds. with this storm, it's not the winds that matter. it's the duration of the storm. it's the size of the storm. the storm is incredibly big. it keeps growing in size. the fact that it's going to sit along the coast for 24 to 36 hours is going to be devastating, especially when you have 100 mile per hour winds. like i was mentioning, you have a storm that comes and goes, that's one thing. if you have 100 mile per hour winds in a storm that will hit there, that say completely different ball game. the fact that this storm was so big and powerful for so long, it carries all that was energy with it regardless of

i think we've been lucky you know, charleston does have a history with the hurricanes, hugo and floydrms have been through here. you do have to be cautious and you know, you do have to look at all the facts and evaluate your own safety, your employees' safety, the safety of the community around you. but at the end of the day, we're entrepreneurs and we take risks for a living and we do so every single day. so as small business owners it's important to us to maintain what we have invested so much into. >> speak of that, the reality here, you say you're sitting on thousands of pounds of fish. what are you going to do with it? >> yeah. well, like i say, tomorrow i'm going to open for lunch and sell it and i'm going to give it away. i'm going to give the first responders it the opportunity of a free meal. most of them are probably on call, on duty, away from their homes and families. you know, nothing warms a soul like a home cooked hot meal. so we'll doll whatever we can do to shift as much product an hopefully we will not lose power. you know, the result of losing power is i have to thr

floyd and fran floyd was more of a rain event than a hurricane fran definitely more wind and power. i think this will be just like a fran event, which did a lot of damage in this area. >> well, ray, we're on your radar now. we want to stay in touch with you, make sure you and your family and everybody is okay please stay in touch with us, let us know how you're doing from time to time. we're thinking about you down there in wilmington, north carolina, all right? >> thank you very much >> thank you very much we are just getting started on a busy wednesday morning up next, big business versus the white house. the new group formed to counter the tariffs. >>> and will apple pull out some surprises at its iphone event today or leave investors yu underwhelmed a preview ahead.
