but it goes all the way up near macon and a lamp as we head toward tomorrow.g to see devastation all along that path as it's going to stay a hurricane right through the night tonight. don't wait. is sorry? a category 2 hurricane in to georgia? yeah. all the way to georgia. and that's because it's moving so rapidly. so this storm system is going to be able to maintain its strength and all of a sudden it's going to fall apart fully behind just devastation all on this week. yeah. okay. thanks, lawrence. eye on things. meantime, voters, they're listing a immigration is one of the top issues this election not just at the border, but all across the country get the economy and immigration. and now just 40 days to go until >> election day. and vice president harris is heading to the southern border tomorrow. former president trump, meanwhile, has made 3 border trips recently. newsnation chief washington correspondent blake burman takes a look at the numbers behind the issue in today's political minute. >> the debate over the border. blake burman with newsnation. the u

tim walz is in macon right now. macon, georgia, will be in atlanta later today. walz talking with both kids and adults at a campaign office and spoke about the latest threat to donald trump's life. a horrific situation thankful to the secret service. the folks you see, law enforcement, and grateful that the president is safe, and i think all of us know we don't solve our differences in this country with violence. we condemn it in all its forms. we solve our differences at the ballot box. that's how we get this done. so to each of you, you clearly understand that. walz went on to say, politics should be joyful, that it's about deciding which is the best way to move forward and make things better, not about beating each other down. now, we know abortion is going to be a major issue for many voters this time around. ten states are going to have abortion on the ballot in some way. vice president harris supports a return to roe v wade and a woman's right to choose. former president trump's been all over the place boasting he ended roe v wade, saying he'll vote for str

they gave us resources to be in columbus, macon, and southeast georgia. i want to see where we can continue to grow. human trafficking needs more resources. i am excited about this organized retail crime. but something needs to be done. it needs to be addressed. there is no doubt that costs are going up. you are a recovering attorney and i am an attorney. the way we handle disputes, we the people set up the judicial branch. you have to have access to the courts, and i would not deny that, but now we have a pastor is asian -- a bastardization of the system. talking about increased insurance rates, increased costs for premises liability. talking about advertising, i took my daughter to disney a year ago, we were coming up to 75, and there was a tragic situation with a lineman killed in a car accident. here i am coming up 75 last year and there is a firm that's got his picture on it. he died two years before. we've got an issue we've got to deal with with advertising as well. i have been fighting third-party litigation funding. we have groups where it is dar

go to macon and head on i-16. you will see one of the most massive construction project in the country. there is a massive hyundai factory being built for their hybrid and electric vehicles. there are projects happening all over the state and rural parts of the state. in parts of the state that used to not get the attention of the government in atlanta. and all of that is because we have a governor who has a heart for georgia. not just for atlanta. he also has a deep passion for georgia. the school with the football team. which is about my wife's only bone to pick with him because her dad went to georgia tech, but we cannot all be basketball schools. so , without further ado, my friend, the governor of the state of georgia, brian kemp. >> thank you. >> so let me get the awkward question out of the way first. this past saturday we had a candidate for president come to georgia and how choice words for you and some of his supporters suggested you might need to be in jail. how is the campaign trail going? >>: good. yo

includes areas like tallahassee and gets close to macon, macon.hurricane warning. those are tropical storm force warnings. you will still see the heavy rain i've been showing new and significant wind. a lot of folks will be feeling this. the thing about this storm on top of the size is how fast is moving. you are still at 65-mile-an-hour winds by friday morning in atlanta. strong tropical storm moving through atlanta, something they are not used to, which is why the impacts will be felt so widespread. as far as outages come of this rain and wind, we were expecting widespread power outages from jacksonville over towards charleston, atlanta, and a lot of folks will be impacted by this. the landfall this evening, but a huge area where folks need to pay attention. >> thank you. we will check back in with you shortly. i will be in the weather studio at 2:00 with an update. appeals court in new york city is hearing oral arguments in donald trump's civil fraud case. trump is seeking to overturn a nearly $500 million judgment against him for falsifying bu

we've had impressive wind speeds in places like macon, upwards of 80 miles per hour in some spots. the power outages going to be active here as we get into the afternoon across georgia and intoeo the carolinas. on top of that really the flood threat is what's going to unfolg in a big way today. we see so much rain ahead of the system, and this is something we see, jonathan, through the day today. the flash d flooding concern wee very concerned across the appalachians. already saturated grounds. really, really concerning for fatalities. >> an extraordinary amount of rain. >>> we now turn to the day's biggest political stories. in just hours mayor eric adams is scheduled to appear a day after a 50-page federal indictment was unsealed accusing him in a decade long corruption scheme. the or64-year-old becomes the first sitting new york city mayor to be indicted in the modern era. in all he's charged with five counts including bribery and wire fraud. the indictment accuses the mayor of receiving more than $100,000 worth of free plane tickets and luxury hotel stays from wealthy turkish n

this is what we expected it to do when you have hurricane warnings to the north of macon essentiallynta, hurricane warning means that this storm is gonna go by. it means you're going to you get hurricane conditions and they're going to get that to the north of macon, georgia. i do know that there are an awful lot of people here on the road, at least earlier. now, you need to truly be off because the wind on i75 anti ten is certainly going to get well in excess of 80 to 85 miles per hour our so far, we're kind of piling up 80s and 90s for wind speeds, but we know that this storm was 100 140 somewhere. we just may not have any kind of an anemometer there to actually see what it was. because a lot of the area from cedar key, steen hatchie all the way up to and around on to almost apalachicola is a national wildlife refuge. not a lot of people live there. i guess that's some good news except for the wildlife. but really 15 inches of rainfall has already fallen. and it's still raining one last thing laura, to worry about tonight, make sure you keep your radio on. if you are in yellow, ora

see making well, maybe a category 2 near macon, maybe a category one. still near atlanta. that would be some devastation all along that point. guys, back to you. thank you, lawrence. yeah. as you pointed out, all eyes are on the southeast. tonight >> hurricane helene continues to gain strength. as lauren said, it's now a cat 4 and is closing in on florida's big bend. >> kristen currie is going to be with us. she is in tallahassee. she's based in austin, but she has flown to. >> the capital and has the latest say kristin? >> hey, grant and vicki at you at 10 times when we have a storm like this, they'll bring in meteorologist, friend other quieter parts of the country to come in and help with coverage and out relay information. and that's exactly what i'm doing here for those may be in the and want to know for friends and family. what's going on right now? i can tell you the winds are starting to pick up. we're getting more. those rain bands coming through as well. even a little bit of some street flooding just because light rain really hasn't let over the last several but

georgia and it continues to weaken while moving further inland over georgia, about 40 miles east of macon and about 100 miles southeast of atlanta moving north at 30 miles per hour. that was a 5:00 a.m. about two hours ago. and it says it made landfall in northwestern florida. the category four storms as forecasters warned, the enormous system could create a nightmare storm surge and bring dangerous winds and rain across much of the southeastern u.s.. there were at least three storm-related deaths. hurricane center said helene warmed ashore thursday near the mouth of the oslo river in the big bend area in the gulf coast. it had maximum sustained winds estimated at 140 miles per hour. that location was only about 20 miles northwest of where hurricane it value came ashore last year. at nearly the same ferocity that caused widespread damage. they're quite a bit of people reporting power outages we certainly wish them the best. fema administrator ian criswell was a white house briefing yesterday and she was asked about fema's resources and their ability to respond to this storm. >> this is li

cities like macon, atlanta, columbia, you're looking at some of those wind gusts that could be 60 to 80 miles per hour before that system. finally takes off. now another component of this, yes, we are certainly talking about the storm surge pretty much up and down the entire western peninsula of florida. you are looking being at some type of storm surge, but the peak for that is really going to be a been around the big bend region where we could see as much as 15 to 20 feet yeah the weather service called that unsurvivable 20 feet of storm surge is just one of the many threats coming from hurricane helene allison. >> thank you very much. we'll get back to you. i want to go to carlos suarez in gulfport because alissa's as allison said, some of the outer bands are already hitting florida and some of the surge already pushing in carlos, what are you? see >> that's exactly right, john. good morning. so we are in gulfport, florida. that is in pinellas county. we're already we're starting to see some flooding associated with the storm. now a good part of this is the fact that we're in high

, georgia it would take three hours from drive to drive there from apalachicola to macon. and that's how long this is going to have hurricane force winds where's it the worst right now? likely from from newport ritchie and around clearwater all the way up to hudson in florida. anytime you get one of these bands and anderson, you know it well, in-between the band's the wind kind of dies off when you get one of these heavier bands, the outer bands, then the winds pick up. so i'm thinking probably on land we're probably seeing 70 to 75 miles per hour as the max wind right now but the storm isn't close to shore yet, and it won't get close to shore for another, let's say, three or four hours, the closer it gets, the more winds will go up and likely will have winds around perry perry, florida around 115 miles per hour for august, without a doubt, we are going to see a lot of rainfall. it's already been raining, flash flood warnings are already in effect. here is the hurricane warning. there's atlanta and make and you can look at a map, how far it is from way down here it's going

there's that i coming in by tonight, still 70 mile per hour winds overnight even in macon, georgia with all of that heavy rain, we are also worried about historic catastrophic flooding in the western carolinas. this high risk of heavy rain from asheville down to tallahassee is incredibly rare, only issued 4% of the time, but is responsible for 80% of the damage that we see from flooding because we are looking at up to a foot or more or of rain possible in this area here in the carolinas. and this is a mountainous area. this is this southern appalachian chain. so where we're worried about is landslides that could be catastrophic for people in the carolinas and north georgia, jake. >> alright meteorologist elisa rafah. thanks so much. we'll be back with you in a second. let's turn now to florida state fire marshal jimmy patronas. jimmy, do you feel as though florida is prepared for this massive hurricane? >> we are, this is the second largest deployment we've had an urban search and rescue in the state history only second to hurricane ian. we've got about 1,100 men and women pre-staged, r

so the path of this right now does look like it could go up to macon, georgia, right near atlanta. roswell as we head into tomorrow morning, would weaken as a tropical storm winds of 65mph. and then this would continue off into tennessee once we hit friday night, 35 mile per hour winds. overall, an additional 3 to 6in of rain with flooding threat from georgia right into tennessee. we're going to continue to have more reports on this. otherwise, back here to san francisco, we're looking at 70 on saturday, 67 on sunday. and we'll drop it off a little bit as we head into this upcoming weekend. i'm already seeing damage reports coming out of helene and what happened in florida. this is going to be historic on so many levels. when we continue to look over all that damage as we head through tomorrow, i mean, it could be catastrophic with that huge storm surge. wow that's re washed up on the australian coast. town drive, sunnyvale, california. california. wow that is so cool. this group of hikers found that bottle along the shore of townsville off the east coast of australia. note was dat

if you drive from here to savannah, georgia, go through macon, get on i-16, you will see one of the most massive construction projects in the country. it is a massive hyundai factory that's being ill for their hybrid electric vehicles. there are massive projects happening like that all over the state in rural parts of the state, parts of the state that used to not get the attention of the government in atlanta. and all of that is because we have a governor who has a heart for georgia, not just for atlanta. he also has a deep passion for georgia, the school and football team, which is my wife's only bone to pick with him because her dad went to georgia tech. but we can all be basketball schools. so without further ado, our friend, the governor of the state of georgia, brian kemp. [applause] gov. kemp: thank you. >> so let me get the awkward question out of the way first. this past saturday that a candidate came to georgia and had some choice words for you and some of his supporters did a press conference and suggestion you might need to be in jail. how is the campaign trail going? gov. ke

of impulse vaccines have arrived in the democratic republic of congo, the centre off, and that the macon central in west africa. the world health organization has described the virus as a global threats about 100000 doses of the vaccine arrived and the capital can shots from the european union. that's about half the number of promised, with the other half expected to arrive this weekend. un will be running the vaccination campaign in the west. the affected problem was they've been gone. i said wanna is with safe the children and he told me more about the importance of that vaccine rollouts. this is welcome use. thank you for helping us here. we appreciate the efforts that the, the world is having in responding to the crisis that we've seen in this is not in the d r c. so we woke up this use with, with much, much questions that just coming to the most, i'll put you in time after we have had some 600 debts and suspect assessed suspected 18000 cases of banned books. and for us, it's a much more welcome because we know that the children are the most affected. the disproportionate, affected b

it's zooming in to southern georgia, and by early morning before daybreak, places like macon, middle georgia, bibb county, they're going to be seeing hurricane force winds as it continues on its trajectory towards places like atlanta. >> you've been tracking the storm for hours. how much further northwest is it headed? >> well, we're actually going to see this storm kind of end its life towards the tennessee valley. so by tomorrow afternoo, heavy rainfall is battering places like asheville, north carolina, parts of tennessee, not just any rainfall. this is going to be catastrophic and historic there. this is historic flash flooding that they're on the brink of in places like asheville. wherever you're seeing that pink on your screen, we have an extremely high risk for flash flooding. they could see totals up to 20in. >> we know about the storm surge and the danger of flooding, but tell us about the power that this storm packs and how it ranks. >> that's a great question, juju. so at 2 a.m. on thursday morning, this was a category one hurricane. by the afternoon it was a category four

for me is this contrast in california where some people are so rich and other people are buried in macon. and that's a, that's a call cost of the whole united states that there's worried about for, for, i don't know, $400.00 people that have all the more income than all of us together. you do think there's a gap is becoming smaller or is growing all it's growing? i don't know. they only want a handful of people. uh, controlling everything they want to keep people under their under this under your son's control people's, that's a way of controlling people. you know, power and money. everyone should have had these housing food, you know, healthcare, education, photos, you know, stuff, you know, things like that. yeah. i know little extra so you can maybe go to the movies or go out to dinner or something on a little vacation. you know, he's doing the to the whole dance with the yeah, i'm 77 and i don't get enough nearly enough income. but i have a affordable housing, it's called affordable housing, but they keep facing the rants, but they don't work that they don't keep, they don't raise my

macon, georgia, a hurricane warning. tampa bay still in a hurricane watch. and those tropical storm warnings still up from miami to charleston to asheville. and asheville is part of why i want to talk about the rain and the flash flood threat. but let's first do that big surge that they've upped now on the latest forecast. 10 to 20 feet, that's like two stories of water pushing ahead of the storm, coming right onto land. that will easily take a home off of its foundation, so, crystal river, cedar key involved there, four to eight feet still for tampa bay. the winds will easily be hurricane force all the way nearly to atlanta, so, i think that could impact flights even early on friday morning. and then that significant flash flooding. david, blue ridge mountains, when you have 12 to 18 inches of rain from the last couple of days and helene, not going to be good. >> david: so many states in the path of this. ginger zee, we are glad you're there, as well. please, you and the crew, stay safe, and we'll watch first thing in the morning on "gma." thank you. >>> in

my phone guy has been working on macon we, but since 1990 he's experienced outs, ends involved we over the years. what do you see is what the country is going through now, is with the lift level used to cover all those as strong as you can see right now with me the up to the top, the point of that island. so what does that, what does this place? it's kind of, what does it mean? we know that the area a, what telephone is a big to know more people who depend on the lake for the livelihood. i'm worried, the drought has reduced fish 20 areas and they don't actually have many fish as they used to do with this is going to present one. when it for shipment countries, a lot of fish is not hungry. you can send his children to school right now. life is so hot and bobby's parks and wildlife authority, his conflict between wild life and people, are increasing as lake cree, but get smaller animals moving closer to where people live, looking for food and water. they're a dangerous animals in this lake. he paused and crocodiles and you see the ladies doing the laundry. they say sometimes crocodiles c

and you see those hurricane warnings go up to macon. you do not see that every day. we have hurricane-force gusts easily taking down trees and power lines. we expect widespread outages. those tropical storm warnings up to asheville. storm surge is the biggest loss of life and property, around here, it's 4 to 8 feet. but we saw with dahlia, which is a way weaker storm, crystal river, just an hour or so north of us, they took on 7 feet. easily could get in that 8 to 10-plus. 10 to 20 feet is moving cars, it's taking homes off foundations, it is unsurvivable. so steam hatchee, keaton beach, all the way down to cedar key, i'm so concerned in the next couple of hours. i hope everyone's gotten out. because time's over. this is it. it's happening. and you can see those wind gusts. those will be easily 100, 120 plus. i'm sure we'll see those extreme wind warnings happening by the time it makes landfall. and then it's going to cruise across georgia. western south carolina, augusta there, 63-mile-per-hour wind gusts early tomorrow morning. and then it will wrap up and go into

. >> from macon, georgia. >> janice: did you call in sick today?> janice: i will writhes a note. >> lawrence: did he call in sick? he has a jd excuse. hours from now, trump is expected to take harris to task over her far left agenda and policy flip-flop. interesting take on the no tax on tips. watch. >> he will have to answer for his positions. why is he for no taxes on tips when his administration tried to take tips and give to their bosses? these are things donald trump will have to answer for to explain to the country and figure out during this debate if he can talk about anything other than himself. >> lawrence: she steals his idea and he has to explain it. kayleigh mcenany joins us now. that is harris camp, their position and your response is. >> kayleigh: this is what harris left out. she was tie breaking vote for new i.r.s. policy to pursue workers for not reporting tips. how will she explain the wall, ultimate reality that ian samms lives in. >> lawrence: he was upset by the mute mic, this was negotiated by the biden campaign. >> kayleigh:

the dnc was a remarkable week for her and it was scripted, this will be anyway for the macon people toee. i'm waiting for this to become the theme of the last 60 days. i think donald trump has become increasingly irrelevant to the 2020 for narrative. i know that sounds wild. 45 or 46%, but he is stuck at 45 or 46. he has no new tricks but no new message, and between the three of us i bet we could predict how he will perform on tuesday night. we know it. every american knows it. he has one of the most cemented brands in the entire world right now. nothing he can do can change that, so i don't see donald trump being relevant to this race whatsoever other than how the campaign and allies spend money on vile, vicious attacks on vice president harris. if he's able to move anybody it will be because he lands something that sticks on vice president harris in a vicious way, not because of any reason donald trump suggests he's qualified to be president again. >> i wrote that down. stay tuned, our panel continues. >>> liz cheney is not the only one in her family voting for kamala harris. why her

out on the trail, governor tim walz made a campaign stop at a soul food restaurant in macon, georgia,e had this reaction to a sign on the wall: >> so, no! was that for today, or is that a saying? >> stephen: now if you missed it, that sign said "mind your own biscuits, and life will be gravy." it's kind of adorable that he loves a kitschy sign that much. imagine taking governor walz to marshalls. "live, laugh, love, finally all together on "one" rustic plank? that's awful nice right there. now, if only this store sold ceramic pumpkins. what?" on the other hand, yesterday trump was in pennsylvania, where he took a swing at kamala harris, who has mentioned on the campaign how she used to work at mcdonald's. >> for a long time, she's been talking about her experience at mcdonald's. "i worked at mcdonald's over the french fries. it was so hot." i'm going to go to a mcdonald's and i'm going to work the french fry job for about a half an hour. i want to see how it is. >> stephen: okay. good luck with that. but you know, even the most physically demanding jobs are easy to do for half an hour

throughout the night tonight we could have hurricane wind all the way through macon, georgia. atlanta to the east of you now, forecast is a bit better for my friends in atlanta. lower wind gusts means less power outages for you but the fall is still a huge issue. and of course the storm surge we have seen along the coast, water levels are at two or three feet higher than what you would expect them to be in the tampa bay area. we will still see these going up maybe another foot or two, getting into what we call moderate flood stage. it goes minor, moderate, major, then the storm. it's bad that it could have been worse if the storm had been closer to the area. as far as the wind goes, we have seen a 70 mile-per-hour wind in miami, 300 miles away from the center of the storm, that is one of the last couple of days, we thought, don't focus on the come, this is a huge storm, says was and what is different about this storm, chris, right now, tallahassee is moving so fast, but the eye is so strong. it will move in more like a large tornado. it is not going to be a slow buildup. all o

hurricane warning for tallahassee, macon, georgia and for tampa area.ou will see hurricane force conditions, winds in excess of 110 mile per hour, again, for tallahassee area, they have never experienced a storm like this in over a century. that is why it is concerning. category three storm, we think potentially borderline category four making landfall this evening. inland impact, we could see heavy rain, part two of the storm is flooding for places like southeast and georgia toward carolina and southern appalachians where flooding is extensive, dangerous, perhaps deadly. this storm is going to be biggest storm we've seen in gulf of mexico should say something. it will affect all of florida, southeast and parts of the appalachians, as well. >> brian: thanks, janice. >> ainsley: are they evacuating university? florida state. >> steve: we mentioned tallahassee, governor desantis is there. governor, she set it up, it is a monster storm, that is one reason you declared a state of emergency for 61 and 67 counties, are you telling people to get out of the way

georgia and it continues to weaken while moving further inland over georgia, about 40 miles east of macon and about 100 miles southeast of atlanta moving north at 30 miles per hour. that was a 5:00 a.m. about two hours ago. and it says it made landfall in northwestern florida. the category four storms as forecasters warned, the enormous system could create a nightmare storm surge and bring dangerous winds and rain across much of the southeastern u.s.. there were at least three storm-related deaths. hurricane center said helene warmed ashore thursday near the mouth of the oslo river in the big bend area in the gulf coast. it had maximum sustained winds estimated at 140 miles per hour. that location was only about 20 miles northwest of where hurricane it value came ashore last year. at nearly the same ferocity that caused widespread damage. they're quite a bit of people reporting power outages we certainly wish them the best. fema administrator ian criswell was a white house briefing yesterday and she was asked about fema's resources and their ability to respond to this storm. >> this is li

side but like i said it always, blessings we have the best system is the american exceptionality, the maconral system is still the best, if not nicaragua, venezuela or iran or north korea i count my blessings. >> so to a lot of folks that come in from latin america including my wife and your parents et cetera there is a new pullout showing that trump has regained the lead among the latino community, 51% to 47%, i should mention a fox news poll showed exactly the opposite that harris is leading trump by 55% to 43%, the numbers are all over the place but it does seemed like the democrats attempt to get more nonvoters on their side with open borders had exactly the reverse effect. >> it is historical it is a transformational wheel alignment with what's happening right now within the republican party vis-À-vis the hispanics, we are not woke, we have the same values that are entrenched in the republican party law-abiding fall government pro-family pro-life, reagan said it, hispanics are republicans, they do not know it, this is a historical time for the trump camp in the republican party to embr

so from tallahassee, running all the way up to macon, they don't usually stay that strong that long. this one is going to partially because of how big and strong it is and partially how fast it is moving. everything in the red is a tropical storm warning. as you can see a lot of the southeast is going to be dealing with at least a tropical storm. again, it's such a quick mover, it's such a powerful one why the time you get atlanta on friday morning, we are still talking about a very strong storm here, bret. they can be dealing with a tropical storm, atlanta a tropical storm. so a lot of folks are going to be dealing with this in their own way. >> bret: adam, thank you, a live report from tampa at the bottom of the hour. ♪ >> bret: we are releasing polling battle ground states. former president donald trump is up three points on vice president harris among likely voters in arizona in our latest poll. the margin is 2 points among registered voters who had favored harris by 1 point last month. harris, however, leads the former president by 3 points among likely voters in georgia. and al

the hurricane winds still continue even as far north through macon by atlanta. >> the hurricane gustsory we've already seen, i believe, 86 miles per hour on that top wind gusts. >> and how about the timing? right i mean, you're feeling it now, but you're really going to feel it close to 8:00. >> so it's best to work from home. stay home today. if things are closed, that's probably good for you. we'll see the forecast track continue going up into the north. strong winds with it and a whole lot of rain eventually will interact with another area of low pressure and drop more rain over portions of the tennessee valley. >> yep. so wind, rain tornadoes, another threat that we'll be tracking throughout the rest of today, far over with our coverage with helene. well, here's the picture from valdosta, georgia, took on the eyewall of a weakened helene, but still very powerful . fox weather is your hurricane hq and we are tracking this catastrophic storm all night long. emily harris and kelly slater taking on the hot topics with powerful perspective and smart insight. you'll only get on outnumbe

we could have hurricane wind all the way through macon, georgia. atlanta, it looks to be to the east. the forecast is better in atlanta. lower wind gusts means less power outages, but the rainfall is a huge issue and of course the storm surge. we've seen the pictures along the coast. water levels are 2 to 3 feet higher than what you would expect. in the tampa bay area we will still see these going up another foot or two. we are getting and what we call moderate flood stage. it goes minor, moderate, major and then historic. it is bad, but it could've been worse at high tide and if the storm was closer to the area. we have seen wind, 70 mile-per- hour wind in miami a couple hours ago. 300 miles away from the center of the storm. that is why we were like don't focus on the cone, this is huge and even now, 62 mile-per-hour guests. what is different about this storm is right now, tallahassee 31. it is moving so fast, but the eye is so strong. it will move in more like a large tornado. it will not be a slow buildup. all of a sudden the wind will ramp up
