currently located 345 miles south of the mississippi delta. with sustained winds of 80 miles per hour. that could actually strengthen over the next several hours. we'll continue to watch it. but it's moving through with quite a pace. to the north/northwest to 22 miles per hour. keep in mind when harvey rolled through texas it was meandering at just four miles per hour. that gives smu senyou some sens comparison. the water temperature between 86 and 89. that's why we're anticipating some strengthening before it makes landfall right around the area surrounding biloxi. as it moves through it will pick up additional speed bringing heavy raps ins to the 95 corrid. keep in mind we are going storm surge, high winds, and potential flooding. tropical storm force winds extend 125 miles to the north of the center of the core of this storm right now. not a well-defined eye. and hurricane force winds a much narrower area. just about 35 miles per hour. but it's a dangerous storm anytime you have a tropical storm or a hurricane there are issues attached to t

a category i at this hour. 345 miles south of the mississippi delta.ds sustained at 80 miles per hour with higher gusts. as we mentioned, it is moving to the north/northwest at 22 miles still intensifying with water temperatures 86 to 89 degrees. projected to wind up making landfall late tonight into early sunday morning with wind speeds up to 90 miles per hour. right around the area, surrou surrounding biloxi. then it picks up speed, breaks up but brings heavy rains at the beginning of the work week to the 95 corridor, from washington to philadelphia to new york. as far as impacts go, 18 million people may be affected by this storm, with heavy rains and flash flooding. hurricane form winds, of course. storm surge and rough surf. you can see, we have tropical storm watches approaching the atlanta area. that's what shows you the breadth of this storm. storm surge warnings from louisiana, mississippi, alabama coast line all the way to florida. we could see a storm surge of up to nine feet. we still have hours to go for potential intensification of this s

mississippi river. it's running into some of those delta mississippi islands. it slowed down a bit, but it's still a fast mover. typically you see a storm like this maybe 10-12 miles an hour. you see it spinning. this is our center of circulation. this is going to continue to lift back up over open water before overnight closer to 11:00er midnight. you are still seeing outer bands of rain, now pushing on in from mobile over towards new orleans. this will stretch farther to the east. we are very early in this event with some of the bigger storm activity still to come. but it will stay a category one storm as it moves across the beautiful of mexico. here is our future forecast. this will break down what we expect going forward. from 9:00, 10:00, here is the center of circulation. eventually likely midnight or so making that second landfall. heavy storm activity from mobile stretching over to pensacola. i see it running from 8:00, 9, 10:00 and 11:00. then you are talking about tropical force wind in atlanta and alabama for sunday. judge jeanine: in the middle of i

the book but we have been working for many years in our poor community in arkansas in the mississippi river delta and population there is what you would call hard core poor. intergenerational poverty, and generational trauma which by the way never gets tacked about if your an ancestors saw horrific things happening it is hard to panel this community can bounce back from that. and so in this area, i mean it was a fight to get anything done. we couldn't get high speed internet to this community. i have better internght in center than i do in america in arkansas. we had very -- big challenges withly the city rates people would come in speaking far worse english than our workers in nyerobi and we don't have bupght to sustain this program responsibly. and in order to make it work in this community we would need a massive investment in infrastructure in educational opportunities, in a range of different things and part of the problem in some of these rule far flung commons is no money to sustain them. if you live in port in new york city, yes it successes but there are tons of agencies other resources

it's in the mississippi river delta, and the population there is what you would call hard-core poor.intergenerational, you know, poverty and generational trauma which, by the way, never gets talked about. if your ancestors went through jim crow and you saw horrific things happening, you know, relatively recently, it's hard to imagine that this community can just bounce back from that. so in this area, i mean, it was a fight to get anything done. we couldn't get high-speed internet to this community. i have better internet in our center in nairobi than i to in america, in arkansas. we had very big challenges with literacy rates. people would come in speaking far worse english than our workers in nairobi. and it was just, like, layer upon layer of struggle, and finally we realized we don't have the budget to sustain this program, and in order to make it work in this community, we would need a mass i investment in structure, in educational opportunity, in a range of different things. and part of the problem in these rural, far-flung communities in the u.s. is there's no money to sustain

is back out over open water and that initial landfall was a barrier islands just off the delta of the mississippi river so we are back out running towards mississippi once again. that will take another hour until we get that second landfall but conditions are really beginning to deteriorate right now as we speak. plans are still at 85 miles an hour and that's a category one storm but were beginning to see that outer i won't get closer and closer to landfall and i do suspect that some of the heaviest rain at this moment is beginning to fall. you see it stretching from biloxi running up to mobile and areas of pensacola. this entire region will seat rounds of very heavy rain and i suspect the surf will pile up at this point, as well. wins becoming stronger and stronger popping out of the south so three-6 feet will be wide spread of service and that will get higher in some locations getting up closer to nine-10 feet as we look as these pockets and in lengths where the wind can pick up. this is a current look at the radar. here is your eye, right there. those outer bands are beginning to approach land
