category 4, an survivable surge, 40 miles to the northeast, 45 miles northeast of us where leland ishere in port arthur we are getting these guests 71 miles an hour with the highest ghost we've got here, we've seen the guests and to give you an idea, that is a construction site behind us and it is still standing, we've seen some things come off of it, papers being torn off of it but that gives you an idea of being just a few miles from the center of this monster storm and the trees are still up, the power lines are still up and it is one of those situations here where we do have people without power but we are not seeing that epic storm surge they were initially fearing for the golden triangle, beaumont, orange and port arthur, they thought they would have water coming into this and really flood beach's river and the 15 river and inundate these areas that were destroyed by hurricane harvey just 3 years ago but that is not the case thus far and it won't be the case in terms of the surge. it will be the wind and if there's an area that will worry about the surgeon will be 20 miles nort

the mayor of port arthur, which is about 20 miles from where i am, he says if we get the 10 to 15 mile surge, it could do billions of dollars in damage. you're not going to evacuation centers anymore. stay inside, ride it out, be careful. >> i know, sam. we were speaking with mayor barti a couple of hows ago and he was saying things are quiet. not quiet now. are the winds strong enough to push you over? we were talking to jay around 12k a. 2:00 a.m. you know he's a big guy. he about toppled over. >> i'm 6'5". i'm okay. i would say it's been about 60-mile-an-hour gusts. if you go farther south into the port arthur area, you're looking at 60, 70, 80 miles an hour. this system is dynamic and it's moving. as we get closer to the left lower system, maybe we see stronger winds. at the moment, richard, 60, 70-mile-an-hour gusts. >> sometimes we measure the debris or how side waze the rain is. how side waze -wise is the rain now? >> reporter: it's pretty side-wise. you're not talk much rainfall to this point. you were talking about it being projected to be about 10 inches. so far the rain has

that's now the new high, 132-mile-per-hour wind gusts. that's 30 miles inland. that doesn't happen many times in this country from any land falling hurricane. one of the highest i've seen. usually get gusts like that on the immediate coast. 30 miles inland, 132-mile-per-hour wind gust. expect a lot of damage in the lake charles area from winds that high, you know, tons of tree damage, power outages all over the place. that's pretty incredible and now that's going to be heading northwards. as far as the storm surge, you know, we haven't heard that have 15 to 20 feet, but, you know, the landfill was a little bit to the east of maybe where it could have been and so that kind of could have prevented it. the storm surge animation show what is could be going on in some areas, rimpf, we won't get confirmation until we get the helicopter up out of houston tomorrow. once it's calm enough the helicopter will go up and show us the pictures. that's when we'll tell what happens towards the coast? that animation is so instructive this terms of what we might see, bill, thanks

pretty amazing. 30 miles inland, richard, and 132-mile-per-hour wind gusts. that's not something you see very often. >> that's the standout, bill, as you know so well and you have warned and forecasted before, storm surge. that's the concern here. and 120 deaths during rita. when will we have the peak of storm surge concern in the coming hours? >> the storm surge should be peaking to the right of that landfall position. the interesting thing is, that forecast for lake charles that was so dire, that was with the center of the storm supposed to be more to the west, more towards the beaumont, port arthur area and not over the top of lake charles. they're not getting that southerly wind fetch that spreads the water up through the lake and river into lake charles. i have a really good feeling that they're not going to get the dire, horrific storm surge that was predicted because of that last-minute shift a little further to the east. if that happens, they still have to deal with the wind damage, but not dealing with a city flooded, that's a game changer. >> that's

sustained 29 miles an hour with gusts up to 54 miles and bouma regional airport, 59-mile an hour sustained with gusts up to 66 miles a. tree damage has been reported in jefferson county as well as the other surrounding counties around this region. i hear from some reports that we would expect to see even greater tree damage as you go further up north into east texas. other damage reports will come in over the course of the day. we do have teams in this region already, whether it be search and rescue, law enforcement, the national guard, assessment teams that are covering every city, every county, every region to make damage assessments but also to go about the process to determine the safety of everybody who lives in this area. i want to get one confirmation, i have, from you, in interstate ten is currently closed. >> all the way to the border on the louisiana side. take the louisiana side. >> i attend is open all the way to the border. i did have the opportunity to speak with government edwards of louisiana this morning. he was his typical self and ready to offer help to texas so he's in

this one, with 150-mile-an-hour winds coming onshore -- lake charles is 30 miles inland. so this has already been onshore now for "world news now," america this morning and "good morning, america." we'll see you right here tomorrow, thanks for the company, america. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live," with guest host, jason derulo. tonight, luke bryant and our health care hero of the week, and now, here's jason derulo. >> hello and welcome to jimmy kimmel live, i'm your guest host jason derulo. you probably know me from listening to my music, or watching me on tiktok. and if you don't know who i am you're -- old. i hate to be the one to break it to you, but it's true. if you follow me on tiktok, you know my dog ice. he pops up on there quite a bit. and since this is my first late night monologue, i asked him if he'd judge my material to see how funny i am. ice, how was my opening joke? >> dammit. only a two? ok at least there's room for improvement. we have to enjoy tiktok while we still got it. because the president wants to get rid of it. no one really kn

mile more than last night. the flames remain at 21% containment and crews were able to keep up with the growth of the fire despite not being able to fly firefighting aircrafts yesterday. the weather expected to be better for flying today and cal fire chief says it could give crews the first big test of the fire safety they have set up a next couple days, it will start getting warmer, drier and we will see a north wind producing and pushing on the line and will give us a test to validate for us the line and it being able to hold. >>> 646 buildings destroyed. more than 23,000 others still threatened by flames. cal fire allowed road crews and utility workers in areas where the fire is out. they're working to restore lower power and water service of the to get into the neighborhood safely before the people will be allowed back. it could happen by sunday if all goes well. >>> the largest wildfire burning in the state remains the sc lighting complex which has burned 574 square miles per the east bay, south and centra

but bridge city and orange north of us 10 miles, 20 miles, they've gotten some of that, they were hit by part of that wall in lake charles. incredible the differences. we are getting that rain here. the power loss is the big issue. they were concerned about the water and started becoming concerned about the wind, power outages could last for weeks or months but in port arthur i can tell you power lines are still up. still have power. fairly good news compared to what we were expecting. >> let's go to janice dean who has been tracking this. >> 2:00 am we saw the landfall and i have to say the national hurricane center had it right on the mark, they knew where the storm would come on shore. the intensity forecasting is always difficult so category 4, very strong, 150 mile-per-hour sustained wind as it made landfall, started to weakens so now we are still a category 4, winds coming down and they will continue to do so every advisory. ahead of the storm we are talking about heavy rainfall, storm surge going 30 miles inland so that is why there were tough warnings, the national hurricane c

it is more than 1100 acres and about four miles north of helena , a mile inland. people in the area are being told to get out. crews say so far, no structures are immediately threatened. >>> governor gavin newsom says resources to fight wildfires across california are stretched thin right now. nevada and arizona and texas have agreed to send crews to assist but extreme heat waves are injuring the call for mutual aid. in colorado, firefighters are up against the second-largest fire in the state's history. >> even if we were at full strength, we would be short of resources,. mack pierce and we have consuming fire coverage on kpix.com, where you can also find the latest information on all the evacuations and road closures. >>> i accept your nomination for vice president of the united states of america. >> campaign 2020, senator kamala harris is the official vice president nominee. it all wraps up tonight. harris delivered her speech on the stage in your running mate joe biden's delaware home.? the democrats biggest star, barack obama, also spoke. >> he has not grown

, which is about 30 miles south of here.we were a little more central to the storm or to the right of it we'd have the opposite problem. beaumont, texas is familiar with that. they talk a lot about rita, which dumped a lot of rain and seeped into the ground and loosened trees and then the wind came and just toppled all the trees over. a massive percentage of the trees in beaumont. then they talk a lot about hurricane harvey which of course flooded this entire place and then tropical storm imelda in 2019. only about 3 feet of water but it flooded a lot of stuff around here. folks are very, very concerned both about the flooding and over the years, brian, since katrina we really start to appreciate the detrimental effects of flooding. we used to think of hurricanes really as wind storms but realized most of the deaths and destruction come from flooding. we're back into a place, a category 4 storm with 150-mile-per-hour winds are going to be pretty devastating even if the flooding is not extreme. so here in beaumont we're worri

they burned 127 square miles. firefighters are making progress in the north bay, with the lnu lightning complex fires 33 percent contained. 564 square miles have burned. the woodward fire at the seashore is now eight percent contained. authorities say the firefighters are making progress with the help of the fog. the fire burns west of highway one, earning 2 1/2 square miles. 90 homes were evacuated near the divinity of inverness. there were evacuation warnings for c haven and lima. >>> years of hard work went up in flames, with the wildfires and the santa cruz mountains destroying a beloved christmas tree farm. the owners of the historic crest ranch at bonnie doing told mornings on fox 2 that they plan to rebuild. >>> at the top of been lemon mountain above santa cruz, overlooking a smoky boulder creek, highs crest ranch, one of the oldest christmas tree farms on the west coast. >> summoning people look forward to the special family time. it doesn't happen too much anymore, nowadays. >> the race moran is the owne

with winds of 105 miles an hour. it is expected to weaken along its path and curve to the north and to the east. our weather, tracking the fire zones here, and thickly the fog has been helping us out quite a bit cooling down the weather. the winds will pick up a little bit and they will probably be around 10 to 15, may be approaching 20 miles an hour in a few spots. the air quality is still we have the spare the air-quality alert into the weekend. we are in the orange, unhealthy for sensitive groups here in the bay area. lots of 50s and right around 60 degrees. here is a live camera looking out towards oakland. and i like this camera because you can get a sense of, the low clouds and fog and even some smoke and haze. today should be a little warmer compared to yesterday. it's probably one of the warmest days of the week. temperatures this afternoon will include low 90s towards concorde. santa rosa 85, san francisco in the 60s, san jose 81 degrees. we will continue to heat things up, nothing major on friday. and then

the areas of fog with half moon bay at its thickest at a half-mile and had dropped below a quarter- mileing. it will begin to lift in the next hour. in the meanwhile, be prepared for really thick fog if you have to travel along highway 1. eric polity today is unhealthy for sensitive groups. north bay, central bay, along the peninsula. for the south bay and the inner east bay is unhealthy with the index above the 150 mark. when i come back, a look at the afternoon highs and talk more about the cooldown and a slight warm-up expected for the weekend. more on this in just a bit. >>> growing concerns about rapid covid-19 tests and whether they are reliable. coming up, the problems for researchers that are causing people to miss work. also, republicans at their national convention defending president trump. highlights from day one and what's on the agenda today. want restaurants to open? and schools? want the economy to get back on track? you're not alone. and you can help make it happen. stay 6 feet apart. wash your hands. wear a mask every time you leave your home. choose to join the fight a

we're thinking winds of 10-50 miles an hour, maybe 20 miles an hour this afternoon. the cloudy start this morning, towards the estuary, we have another round of gray to start off your morning hours. air quality, we have the spirit of the alert through friday, we will see if i get extended. the air quality levels are moderate it, unhealthy in marin county, closer to fairfax. san francisco and oakland have decent air quality, but san jose is in the orange, indicating unhealthy air quality for sensitive groups. that is part of the projection for today. a bunch of orange in terms of air quality. the study allowed continues through friday. the current numbers, lots of 50s. incentivizes people. fremont is 57. as we backup the maps, we show you low clouds and fog. a big factor here at the immediate coastline. we are not completely clear just yet, but, the beach is not warming up too much. 60s. warm spots and then. 90 degrees and fremont is 78. five-day forecast, warmer towards friday. the temperatures tomorrow should be peaking for the week. that means minor quilling as we

and the projected as much as 40 miles inland.re is little to stop it from marching all the way in. we still have a long way to go. we think the eye passed by us, but if there was any respite, it was very brief and now the violence outside is almost unbelievab unbelievable. >> glad to see that you have those proenlgtective glasses on. >> and beaumont is also in the path and derek van damme is joining us live there. what are the conditions like wr. >> reporter: we're getting batter eed here, and this is an extremely scary storm because people know the power of the hurricanes that move through this region, they lived through harvey, rita, through ike. but this area just as soon as you think that maybe you are in the clear, all of a sudden a band of rain and extremely heavy wind starts moving through and it knocks out our power. last hour we had full power at the hotel that we're staying at, but now we're completely in dark like the hundreds of thousands of other people about across southeast texas and into western louisiana. the eye

that is more than 200 square miles. it is 0% contained. the devastation so far is pretty bad, an estimated 100 homes and four commercial buildings have been destroyed so far. >> this is a very large fire. it is one of many in the state of california. honestly, our resources are stretched very far. please be patient. >> some of the worst destruction is in vacaville. dozens of homes were lost early yesterday morning. cal fire says those areas are still very unsafe. they have to go back in and make sure nothing will reignite before they allow people back in to see what is left of their properties. that is one of the reasons why some people chose not to evacuate in the first place against the advice of cal fire. >> this is my home. >> he lives in fairfield and was visited twice by sheriff's officers. after the second refusal to evacuate, they warn you that if your stay, you're basically on your own. those who are still under evacuation orders can come to one of many evacuation centers, which we have listed on www.kpix5.com. this is rodriguez h

miles, what is your take? >> you can't help but get a little misty and nostalgia to it because it takes us all back to the "apollo" days. i can vividly remember when "apollo 13" landed, splashed down after that harrowing mission. the whole world on the edge of its seat and this is an updated version of that. it was a beautiful day for it. the wind light. the seas look like a lake out there. i expect the astronauts not having too bad a time with potential motion sickness and talking about is a new era in space, a new way of contracting, a new way of nasa doing business with its contractors at a fixed price. providing a service. it is a service that the contractors can provide to others. it means now that it's successful and we can say that now that they're bobbing around in the gulf of mexico that this opens the door to a new kind of economic development and low earth orbit and those that follow space and feel strongly about it have been waiting for for many years. >> gives the united states independence in thi

fairfield, about 13 miles per hour. everybody else is under that 10 mile per hour mark. are good conditions for firefighting. today we will see a few coastal clouds hanging out. i will call this partly sunny skies. as i mentioned, a little bit warmer. those of you inland could see lower 90s today. here are the highs. places that will see the aunt 90s, antioch and fairfield. 65 in san francisco. pressure build in a little bit slightly over the next day or two. we will see temperatures pop up , especially for friday. that should be our warmest day. putting it together here in your five-day forecast, we have a pretty nice day today. we will warm up tomorrow. notice we will pullback again saturday and sunday. that is good for firefighting conditions. we won't see any of that extreme heat coming our way. at least for now at least, we will see that marine layer can press a bit by the weekend. nothing that would cause me concern that we will have more difficulty with firefighting conditions. the news there. guys, back to you. >> thumbs-up. i love it. >>> still to come, californ

it was so loud for hours. 150-mile-per-hour winds. the winds here in lake charles were sustained at 125-mile-per-hour, for hours. this is the strongest hurricane in 150 years in the gulf of mexico, and the strongest hurricane ever in the state of louisiana. but it's still nighttime here. and what i keep thinking about right now is how frightening this is for the families who didn't evacuate. it's really important to point out that a lot of people were scared about evacuating because of the pandemic. this is the first time in our modern meteorological history that we've had a pandemic during hurricane season. so people were frightened about leaving. and i'm thinking right now, it's still dark outside here, people in their homes, some very small homes with their children, how scary this must be for the children here in this city. but right now, this hurricane is not over. this is the back half of it. and when it becomes daylight, we'll get a good look and we'll see what has happened to this city of lake charles, which is the largest cit
