nothing compares to katrina this is a much smaller storm a much weaker storm that katrina was was very that was very down back in two thousand and five here that we sienna may not actually have a true way in fall of this storm in louisiana looks like it's going to make more of a landfall along the mississippi coast just near polacks the mississippi about an hour's outside or so of the new orleans area and this one could be possibly a category two storm right now with winds of ninety miles per hour about one hundred forty four kilometers per hour with a possible landfall speed of one hundred five miles per hour and that's roughly about one hundred seventy kilometers per hour so could be doing a lot of some wind damage in mississippi looks like that biggest threat for them is going to be the storm surge a rise of water coming from the storm potentially around say two to fifty meters of water across much of the coastline of mississippi and even southeast louisiana too and now it would be again a pretty detrimental outside of the hurricane protection levees we have here in the state. if yo

we know there was a reference earlier to katrina. this is not nearly as strong of a storm as katrina where the speak surge was 28 feet. but it is high enough to be a risk to life for anyone out at the coast. >> ed rappaport at noaa, thank you. we're also talking politics this hour, the president trying to revive health care talks, this time with democrats. >>> the forecast is seven to 11 feet of storm surge in biloxi, mississippi. a big concern there as hurricane nate is about to hit landfall in biloxi, mississippi. we're waiting for that wave of the hurricane to happen. we've been getting reports from kerry sanders as gusts hit the area and then it was calm for a moment. if you look at this picture moments ago, it would have been calm. joining us now by phone, the mayor of biloxi, mississippi, andrew gillich. mr. mayor, what do you know right now? >> right now i think we're at about a five or six foot storm surge. it's great to listen to your explanation as far as where the feeder bands were. there's a string of islands about 12 mil

my mission was completed after katrina. that being said, do you want to know what's going to happen? if you're in a low-lying area, everybody told everyone, you're in the mandatory area, you need to evacuate. the key point is all the information we get in from the weather service are prediction. the prediction is a category one and you're inside, or you have the line of landfall, you need to be prepared to cake take a category 2 hit. i hope everyone is listening to the local officials and doing necessary precautions because remember that scene from katrina when people were surrounded by water. >> it is just not worthy chances here. general, i want to ask you about something you wrote, because if we can all believe it, it has been six weeks we've had three hurricanes hit the mainland u.s., these times are challenging, and these are your words. i was a commanding general in korea, i led the department of defense response to hurricane katrina in 2005, but the last month has been the most emotionally charged period of my life.

after katrina received something called other needs assistance for personal property lost during the storm and flood. in2007 fema says it began an internal review of students in dorms who received those funds. fema says it did not contact students whose cases were under review to avoid unsnows stress in the event the payments turned out to be proper. fema decidedallen's payment was not proper although the reasons why were made unclear. meanwhile in2011, congress pass the the disaster assistance fairness act which provided applicants like allen the opportunity to have their debt waived. femasays it contacted everyone who was eligible to file a waiver by mail. but that window closed in september of 2012. and allenmissed it. well, he claims he never heard a word about fema wanting its money back until earlier this year. when a collection letter from the treasury showed up at his current address. . >> you know, like why did you give me this money if you're like oh it's an accident and you don't deserve it. it was sopainful i cried so much. icalled the suicide hotline because i didn't wan

this is not katrina, but are they taking heed? >> well, you know, a cat 1, people don't get as astute as they should be. we said all along with were preparing for a cat 1 or 2 or 3, and it looks like it could hit cat 2 before it hits land and plaquemines parish, they a have $1 billion levee understand constructio under construction. and this one, they should take special caution for. >> are you confident, lund governor, that the city, the state, is prepared to help people who do not follow those evacuation orders? >> absolutely. you know, we -- the governor has been calling his team and periodically, we'll be meeting again at 10:30. we're hoping people heed the warning. south is called an evacuation warning today because it's so close to the southern tip of plaquemines parish. we hope people will get out. we'll be ready to respond with any emergency situation after the storm passes. >> so, the president has granted that request for an emergency declaration which frees up some money to prepare for the storm. and frees up reimbursem

this is not a real catastrophe because it's not my katrina. saying is this isn't my problem. >> there's nothing wrong with being a politician. i like politicians. >> absolutely not. >> he acts like he's prince charles visiting one of the colonies. he shows up in that ridiculous costume with his beautiful wife but it's ceremonial. he's not there to lead the effort. he's there to be seen throwing out paper towels. like it's the dolphins at seaworld. he only had enough paper towels for 100 people there. they were going to look like fools reaching for towels and nobody gets one. it's embarrassing. >> this is about saving people's lives. i spent saturday -- >> what is this about? >> remember, people -- >> what is he trying to sell there? >> remember, people -- all of the people that i interviewed on the campaign trail who love donald trump, they voted for an entertainer. you know what they're getting, they're getting an entertainer. someone who understands that he's going there to look good, he's going there for optics. he says the word optics when

hurricane maria, president trump arrives in puerto rico, making his own comparison with hurricane katrinalaura: and he was one of the acrosslling rock stars for decades. we look back on the life and sound of the legendary tom petty. laura: welcome to "bbc world news america." law enforcement officials are trying to unearth what motivated stephen paddock to massacre so many defenseless people. he stockpiled an arsenal of weapons in his hotel room. morelled 59 and injured than 500, firing for more than nine minutes. a dozenound more than firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, and explosive material. reporter: -- >> shots fired. route 91. sounds like an automatic firearm. reporter: sunday night in las vegas, and the first reports of something going terribly wrong. >> coming from upstairs in the mandalay bay! upstairs, mandalay bay. halfway up i see the shots , coming from mandalay bay. reporter: the stress in the voices in the police are evident. they have located where the firing is coming from and the impact he's having. >> we have an active shooter in the fairgrounds. multiple casua

he treated us-- jordan tweeted us that he had to pay back the money he got after katrina and another told us she had to pay back $20,000 and others told us similar stories. many of you were up in arms not just because fema wanted the money back but also because it took so long after the storm for them to collect from alan. she posted on her facebook page 12 years? that's on them. things fall off of credit after seven years. we spent weeks making phone calls and writing to fema to get at one point we were on hold for more than two hours without ever getting through to a real person. one day after the story aired and in response to our follow- up questions, fema sent us the most complete explanation about what happened. they say alan, who moved to dc after katrina, received something called other needs assistance for personal property lost during the storm and flood. in 2007, fema says it began an internal review of students in dorms who received those funds. fema said it did not contacted students whose cases were under review to avoid unnecessary stress in the event those payments tu

republicans' report on katrina, assails administration response. plan to issue a blistering report wednesday that says the bush administration delayed the evacuations of thousands of new orleans' residents by failing to act quickly on early reports the levy broke in hurricane katrina. washington post had the first report that this investigation was going to go this washington. washington post called the report, quote, an unusual criticism by the house gop that generally has not been aggressive in the oversight. the 600 report leaves fault with passive reaction and misjudgment of top bush aides, singling occupant homeland security secretary, the operations center, and the white house homeland security counsel. those parts of the government were singled out, even by republicans in congress. they were singled out as critical failures during hurricane katrina, not just because of the lack of preparedness, lack of caution and recognition and about the magnitude of what happens in new orleans despite the fact the storm bear down on the city for three ful

he stressed that katrina was far more deadly. >> if you look at a real catastrophe like katrina, and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people who died. and you look what happened here with really a storm that was just totally overpowering. nobody has ever seen anything like this what is your death count as of this moment? 16 people certified. 16 people versus in the thousands. >> 1836 people died in relation to hurricane katrina. that figure according to the national hurricane center. few have suggested maria is at the same scale of death. the katrina comparison has been more about the federal response than the underlying hurricane. and the question of whether the trump administration's response to american disasters thus far appears to turn on which part of america they are in. for more, i'll joined now by george will from the "washington post." and from the harvard kennedy school of government profit if he issor, i will begin with you although i have two guests here rich with knowledge of american history. professor, your few of the comparison that pr

cheryl: former trump campaign spokesperson katrina pearson is with us. we're going to have her in a moment. but first, i'm going to go to washington correspondent, with all of thelies afternoon at the white house, blake. >> pretty rackable moment there in the rose garden just a little while ago as president trump was standing there alongside the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell where earlier the president was not too pleased with the performance of mcconnell as it relates to not being able to repeal and replace obamacare. but now as tax reform with the number one priority, those two met at the white house, alongside the vice president and as you played the clip there, hey, look, our relationship is just fine going forward. it was interesting from mcconnell and ryan as both of them says today that the goal is to get tax reform done at some point this year. however, standing alongside mcconnell in the rose garden, president trump acknowledged the past complexities of tax reform and talked about it being done in 2018 possibly as an if. >> i would very

and you don't have to compare it to katrina. on an absolute level, it's the worst thing they have ever dealt with, brooke. and it's going to be like that for months and years to come. >> yeah. to my chrises, thank you. chris cillizza, thank you. chris cuomo, see you next hour. the nation is coping with the most deadly mass shooting in modern u.s. history. i'm brooke baldwin in new york. chris cuomo is live for us in las vegas. the motive is still a mystery. good to have you with us. the motive is still a mystery. what drove the retired accountant with no criminal history to stockpile 42 guns, bring 23 of them into a las vegas hotel room to commit a mass murder. police also finding hammers in the hotel room, perhaps to smash out those two windows up on the 32nd floor. police are also finding ammonium nitrate, a material used to make explosives in his car. and we just learned that the fbi is looking into why he wired $100,000 to the philippines before murdering all these people. we're also learning more about the 59 people who los

this is no katrina or irma or maria. it's a hurricane one.sue they may have in lake ponch train. they are trying to break it down. which is good news. it's fast speed. it's about maybe 15 miles from plaquemines parish. let's break this down because it's hard to see where the eye is on satellite imagery but you can start to see it on the radar. for new orleans, the good news is on the west side the winds are weak. bay st. louis, gulf port. let's talk about the surge because that's really important. first let's break it down, look at the topography, the shoreline. once the storm center moves to the east here at plaquemines parish, we'll find the winz coming out of the north. this is where the levies were breached during katrina, several of them. that's why we had some evacuations. the winds come up, the surge could be three to six feet. they did have a test on the levies in 2012 when isaac came in and they seemed to hold off. winds will surge this water. walls of it into bay st. louis, gulf port, the area that was pretty much destroyed by katri

good to see you, katrina. >> great to be here, liz. thank you. maddow's saying chad's pullout from niger had an immediate effect in emboldening isis attacks, but an expert telling huff-po that rachel maddow got it wrong, what are your thoughts? >> it's obvious she got it wrong. i'm really shocked that it's taken this long for rachel maddow to go completely after the rails after her epic meltdown election night. this is someone who was very giddy and on her show had several segments on how trump -- the candidate trump could win every single swing state and still lose. and, again, she was sorely saddened. then she had the big tax revelation that turned out to be a bust. she's one that has latched onto the russia collusion. anything that continues this derangement that the left has against this president somehow always seems to fall flat. honestly, i'm shocked that it's taken this long. not only was she wrong, but like the article said, all you had to do was make a phone call. chad was added to the list because they ran out of passport paper. theref

that connate west, president obama, you need to explain this. >> if you remember, after hurricane katrina, they had that b connie came on and said george bush doesn't care about black people because george bush wasn't doing enough to help out with katrina. they were trying to set up the same dynamic for president trump. to say president trump doesn't care about people of color speak. >> armstrong williams: oh. >> he went to florida, he went to texas, but he doesn't care about puerto rico. because they aren't his kind of people.>> armstrong williams: they're not brown people. >> they wanted to play the race card. when in fact, he waved the jones act for 10 days, and it wasn't like there were a whole bunch of ships lined up. >> armstrong williams: the ships aren't regulated? >> they aren't regulated and there aren't safe. there are number pieces to this argument. without the usa maritime industry, it cost $65 billion for the united states to replicate the job that they especially during wartime. we went to war in iraq, and afghanistan, we had to ship lots of things over to the middle east.

this is not camille or katrina. it's a seven foot storm surge coming in here, heading over toward -- right along the alabama/mississippi border especially the pascagoula bay. is one of the areas i'm concerned with. the wind arrows, shows you the direction the wind is pushing the water. we're unfortunately approaching high tide at the same time this is making landfall. we're going t add 1 t 2 feet to the surge values, which is going to make things worse. when it moves a little further to the north, see the arrows moving from south to north, that's going to pile the water up. the winds are going east to west. storm surge is about 3 feet on the coast. barely noticeable. usually high tide is 1 1/2 feet. when it moves on shore, and the winds go south. that's when we're going to have the greater concerns. back up here, our satellite view shows us where the highest -- the colder cloud tops are, what happened earlier today, it stopped intensifying, which was great, that's what stopped it from going to a category 2. winds at

katrina.many more people died in the flooding in hurricane katrina. but he does not grasp the severity of the crisis that is still continuing and will continue for months on the island because of a failed infrastructure situation that people are dealing with. the other interesting thing is his remarks he made in an tuesdayw on fox news on , president said his administration would help puerto rico wipe out its debt to help it recover from extensive damage caused by hurricane maria. here is what he said. pres. trump: we're going to work something out. we have to look at their debt structure. they owe a lot of money to your friends on wall street. we're going have to wipe that out. you can say goodbye to that. don't know if it is goldman sachs, but whoever it is, you can wave goodbye to that. the debt was massive on the island. geraldo was speaking of rivera, fox news, who is a personal friend of donald trump. they know each other well. he is obviously aware that geraldo is a puerto rican origin.

i lived through hurricane katrina, but i lost everything. i have ptsd, but i'm ineligible for these funds. i don't even understand how they arbitrarily chose it. >> reporter: allen called and couldn't get anyone to explain why he was ineligible so we decided to help him get some answers. we started with the only phone number we had, the one on that letter from de the treasury. they said they had no idea why fema wanted the money back and sent us to something called the fema recoupment hotline. it is a special hotline set up specifically for people who have questions about why fema is taking back aid money. at the time, the hurricane harvey had just hit, and irma was on the way. so we expected to be put on hold. but as time dragged on, allen's patience, already tested, wore thin, and so did mine. >> this is painful. >> yes. >> all we want is information about why they want their money back. >> yeah. the waiting game continues. >> reporter: two hours nine minutes after allen first called the elevator music stopped and the line went dead. allen

this is the worst hurricane that has impacted missince hurricane katrina. patti ann: the mayor of new orleans has lifted a and tory curfew. but people are urged to shelter in place. reporter: there was a big concern in norms which is below sea level about the potential for storm surge. people are moving back on down here to bourbon street. the bars are open again and the streets are completely packed. you can see the camera lights gets people excited. but there was a curfew in place in new orleans from 7:00 local until 8:30 local. and my crew and i were walking around the french quarter. there was very little activity. there were a handsful of shots that -- shops that were open. people were hunkered down at hotel bars. after that curfew, people did start coming out. it's a saturday night. fan from what we understand, it's still early and we expect bigger and bigger crowds to be turning out here. people listening to the curfew. but they hunkered down at the request of the mayor. but there was never that much rain. they had major problems with the drainage sy

to hurricane katrina -- makes katrina look good.ike it was just sweet people trying to do their best and couldn't do it, this looks intentional. >> with katrina the idea was sort of indifference or incompetence where here it seems to be malice. >> the white house denies it but there are a lot of critics who say that race or ethnicity might be playing a factor here. >> at best the president's tweets are insensitive today. i think at worst they are a racist dog whistle. he's clearly watching the mayor of san juan on cnn and other channels calling for more help, begging for more help in reacting this way. i think it's personally beyond the pale and unpresidential. >> sean: cnn's comments beyond the pale. politicians literally doing nothing to help accept politicizing tragedy. what you just heard couldn't be further from the truth. again, look at images we are showing you and we got to warn you, these images are disturbing. the federal government is on the ground, has been on the ground helping, supplies were there on the ground they we

and his comments are igniting the new controversy, did he down play it by comparing it to hurricane katrina. >>> the extent of russia's interference in the election via social media reviewing thousands of facebook ads viewed by thousands of people. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in the "situation room." >>> this is cnn breaking news. >> we're following breaking news, critical new information just revealed by police about the investigation into the las vegas shooting massacre that left 59 people dead. at a news conference just a little while ago they said the gunman, stephen paddock, set up cameras from inside and outside the hotel suite from which he fired on concert goers. we're seeing pictures taken inside his room and some of the 23 weapons he stockpiled there. police also see more guns an what they call a plethora of ammunition inside a home in reno where paddock also lived in addition to a home near las vegas. his weapons are being sent to an fbi crime lab for analysis. tonight, questions whether or not they were legal

he also compared the devastation to the death toll there katrina as he sat next to the governor puerto rico. pres. trump: every death is a horror. but if you look at a row catastrophe like katrina and you look at the and hundreds of hundreds of people that died and you look at what happened here with really a storm that was just totally overbearing. nobody has ever seen anything like this. what is your death count as of this moment? 17? certified. 16 people versus in the thousands. you can be very proud. adrianna: the death toll has grown to 34 people. the president toured a damaged never would and met with the mayor of san juan. she slammed the president, calling them a miss communicator and chief. most of the 3 million americans who live there are still without water and electricity after hurricane maria hit on september 20. 10 d.c. police officers deployed to puerto rico are returning home today. that group received paid leave and volunteered on their own timeout with law enforcement officers on the island. we are happy to report that one officer was able to reunite with hi base and

katrina more than 1800 people died. in this hurricane in puerto rico about 18 people died as a result of the storm. >> as it relates to geographical damage -- puerto rico is devastated. there are areas where we haven't had contact with many people there. >> when the president was talking about a lot of the hospitals working what they till still don't have is electricity. only 5% of the normal electricity was generated. all sorts of electricity is being generated by generators. but there are fuel shortages, water shortages, 30% of the island has cell phone services up to 16%. but remotes parts of puerto rico have been blown away 50 years back. >> fast forward two months, what are are they going to do. half a million people moved to the continental united states for better opportunities, better jobs in the past years. let's say they get electric up and run, let's say they get water. what are the business opportunities? people there need to make money in order to live. >> so it could be an opportunity, right? if done well

bush with katrina. is this worse than what it was for bush and katrina the way that this president has acted? >> well, i mean, let's not forget that katrina -- the scale of katrina, the scale of deaths and people, you know, whose lives were permanently uprooted from a preventable disaster in katrina does change the circumstances. i mean, no president can control the path of the storm but there was plenty that the federal government could have done to control the flooding in new orleans that wasn't done. what happened here it really appears is this was a triple whammy. we had three major, you know, storm of the century styles -- type of storms that happened in just a little over three weeks. and overall, the president and the federal government ended up getting pretty good marks for the handling of the two that were in the main land united states and the two that, you know, clearly really occupied trump's head space politically and, you know, he's a television guy. he understands how this stuff looks on

>> katrina: i hope they get it done. you're essentially going out telling all americans they're going to deny them a potential $4000 increase in their wages because they're wanting to protect their special interests and that's what's really being uncovered here. you're seeing those politicians who talk a big game during campaigning but really only one that's pushing that envelope and it is president trump, so new year going to see which politicians are going to move forward particularly on the republican side. tax cuts are a part of the platform. we're wanting to empower people, encourage entrepreneurship and put more money in people's pockets so we can grow the economy and now they're put to the test. >> liz: does america's heartland get up at the media but does not. i've heard a lot of arguments out there in the media about what the president is trying to do. he's essentially saying his argument is to bring back industry and stop the war in business and by the way katrina he sounds like jfk and reagan. let's take a lis
