let's go a little closer zoomed in map here, and here is morehead city. once you go out the barrier island, that's atlantic beach. to the right is beaufort area. this is cape lookout. this is cape lookout national seashore. this is the cedar island ferry there up to the north. and the thing that we're watching is this is kind of -- you see a little spin. that's the center of the storm. that has to go over land for it to be called a landfall. just because we have the eye over land doesn't mean that that's what we're dealing with. doesn't mean we get an official lawful. we may have to wait until the outer banks. regardless, the strongest winds are with this northern band. you can see the arc on. it's only about half a semicircle, but the northern part is over land right now. so obviously, if we're going to have any really high wind gust, this is where it's going to be occurring in the next hour or two. as far as impacts go, storm surge, we got past the high tide cycle. most of the areas are going to be two to three feet. that's all we've reenly seen with th

we are not reporting in morehead city. you see the red and yellow, that is where we have the core of the strongest winds coming on short and we are getting wind gusts in excess of 50, 60 mph offshore. we are 15 miles offshore. the center of the storm, we think there could be landfall later today around cape hatteras. there is a chance it might not make landfall at all but the results are going to be the same regardless if we have a landfalling hurricane, widespread hurricane force winds along the coast of north carolina, a foot of rainfall and still dealing with 4 to 7 foot storm surge. the peak wind gusts, 90 miles off the coast of south carolina. charleston harbor 75 mile-per-hour winds and hilton head 57 mile-per-hour winds. tornadoes, 2 dozen reports of tornadoes. we can see tornadoes with landfalling hurricanes that come close to shore because of these outer bands. this is quite a number of tornadoes from yesterday across heavily populated areas. and we still have a tornado watch in effect for elizabeth city towards n

here's morehead city. this is cape lookout. this is atlantic beach. then we go out in the national seashore. then this is all of the northern eyewall. this region hear from morehead city southwards, this area is what's going to kick to the north. this is what is going to have possibly with it the strongest of those winds. we still have a ton of rain with this too. i've kind of been adjusting my graph here as we've been going along. we just haven't had a lot of reports of bad storm surge, all the way from the north carolina, georgia coast. georgetown had a pretty good one this afternoon, one of the highest. i knocked that down to the minor category. inland flooding threat, we have a lot of flash flood warnings going on right now, numerous locations have received six to ten inches of rain and it's still going to rain for another 12 hours. i think that could have moderate impact. you won't know about those flooding -- especially flash flooding problems -- until tomorrow. as we go over the next hour or two, these are the areas, the cape lookout wind gauge

this is getting into the morehead city area. they be the storm continues across the outer banks, now at 10:00 a.m. it could run over land or miss land entirely that won't really make a huge impact on what this storm is doing to the coast. once it makes its move it heads out across the mid and atlantic, donging band. then coming up and clicking part of new england. you will talk about a pick up of wind and some rain moving through the area before this eventually finally heads out to sea and we will leave it hold us. we're watching it closely, seeing if it makes lateral and some folks in north carolina that need to be safe tonight. >> certainly. thank you for that, adam klotz, in the weather center. also breaking overnight, the former long-term president of zimbabwe forced to retire in 20178 has died. mug ugabe came to power through independence from -- his leadership became more authoritarian in nature, was the world's oldest ruler when he resigned as zimbabwe's president in november of 2017 following a military dew point. the fo

let me bring in the mayor of morehead city, mayor jones. thank you for being with us. it has been a long night and long morning for you already. >> it has. it was a sleepless night. now the cleanup process begins. >> your city is basically surrounded bywater on all sides, if you will. how are people doing? have you been out talking with folks? have you seen the city yet? >> i have. i have. i have surveyed the city. we are still under curfew. i plan to lift that in about an hour. . >> you do, okay. >> a lot of people are without power. so for security purposes. we steurted a disaster. it's a lot better than florence was last year. however, on the north side of our county, i'm seeing reports up to six feet of water across the roads. and i have seen pictures and water levels as high as the gauges on gas pumps on cedar island. they are still getting pounded at the north end of the county. >> so is that your number one priority right now? i know to know what the biggest danger is for folks. it sounds like it may be that level that you are seeing. >> it is. in fact, we are se

morehead city is on the coast of north carolina. they are being pelted by the strong winds and heavy rains. right now they're feeling the worse of it. mayor jerry jones joins me by phone. i know you lost power not long ago which is why we're talking to you by phone. tell me how your town is doing. >> well, it's been a sleepless night, no doubt. i just heard the report. we've been pounded and pounded all night long. the whole county is without power now. i was just looking on our county website and everybody's without power. so it's widespread. >> you know, morehead city is pretty much surrounded by water. there's water everywhere on a good day. so talk to me aboutour flooding concernings. what are you most worried about this morning? >> it's still dark here so we haven't -- and we're still under curfew and it's still all emergency operations have been suspended. we are getting battered with 60 mile-an-hour-plus winds. probably 100 miles up to a gust. my house has been shaking all night. we'll get out of daylight when the winds a lit

per hour at myrtle beach just beginning to pick up more so in wilmington and you see all those morehead city over 40 miles per hour. damage reported all along the coastline, especially spots inland, not as bad. but we've got tornado watches continuing in effect now you can see all the way from north of wilmington through morehead all the way to norfolk is we're expecting a chance of more tornadoes and they have been popping up all around numerous tornadoes, dropping down doing damage water spouts coming right up the coastline. that's what happens you get these thunderstorms usually these storms the type of tornadoes with the hurricanes. not a stronger something you see in the middle united states but strong enough to do a lot of damage if they have to land in your neighborhood and they certainly can see more of those overnight tonight and it's tomorrow. another problem is a storm surge looking at 4 to 7 feet storm surges that rain and the water's going to try to make its way back into the ocean is not going to be able to do that the water is going to be rising and that is going to cause coas

i want to bring in the communications director from morehead city, north carolina. thank you for taking the time. i know your community was head by the strongest part of this storm. and what is your biggest concern right now? >> morehead city, our fire chief and city manager, and we saw a lot of downed power lines and tries that were blocking traffic. we had a curfew in effect all night long and we finally lifted that curfew because we knew people needed to get where they needed to go. but we still had flooded roadways and things were pretty wild out there. but you know, less than a year ago we had hurricane florence hit morehead city terribly and a lot of people are still recovering from that. so still people with tarps over their roofs and needed to get that fixed and then this hurricane came. so things were scary overnight. >> i can understand that. and i know that -- again, you said that there was an overnight curfew, part of that being that there were a lot of people still without power. do you have a sense of how quickly the power company might come in, is it

financial peace of mind every veteran deserves. >> back with a fox news alert and a live look at morehead cityth carolina, category one hurricane, the eye wall approaching the state's outer banks, spawning a dozen tornadoes in north and south carolina. hundreds of thousands without power, power lines exploding, and we will continue with the latest. a jeep abandon in the surf as myrtle beach was last, the driver got stuck trying to get video of sunrise. neighbors taking photos. it went viral and one guy took out bagpipes to display a few of them. that wraps up this hour of "fox and friends first". see you later, goodbye. it is friday, september 6th and this is a fox news alert. hurricane dorian pummeling the east coast, turning deadly in the us. rob: we have live team coverage. jillian: a hostage situation turns into a heart stopping incident with two deputies shot. rob: we have breaking details, outrage inspires action in one school district after parents push back on

heading into morehead city. going towards hatteras over the next hour or two. we still have the concern for the outer bands bringing potential tornadoes and water spouts. we have a tornado watch in north carolina and virginia at least for the next two hours. again, this is going to be a big deal in addition to the flood threat still. look at the flash flood warnings in effect for multiple states as the storm continues to slide up the east. we've had over 20 tornado reports in just the last couple of days from this storm alone and unfortunately this is going to continue for the rest of the day. >> allison chinchar, thank you so much. >>> the grim scene in the bahamas. officials raising the official death toll from hurricane dorian to 30. with thousands still missing, they know the number will rise. body bags, morticians and coolers headed to abaco islands. patrick oppmann is there on the ground with are more. >> reporter: dave and christine, we are on high rock on the grand bahama island. look at the devastation here. this was the local town hospital. the clinic

if we go a closer view up, here's the morehead city area. just the other side you get out to atlantic beach. or you can drive with a boat and head up on the ferry to go out to the island hear. the road doesn't connect right here in, highway 12. this black line shows us where the center is. in order to get an official landfall, it has to go over land. we may never get an official landfall. but regardless, we have the highest winds right now along the coast. as far as the forecast goes, we only have about five, six hours left. and then dorian will be heading away and exiting the north carolina coast. it'll take awhile. probably until mid or late afternoon. the storm surge not much of an issue anymore. with the high tide between 1:00 and 2:00 in the morning. now we're heading to low tide. so i think inland flooding is my last concern as we go throughout the rest of the morning. and we still have a high risk of flash flooding. especially areas around alamor all the way to virginia beach. this is where we're going to see the heaviest rain through

it's going to begin to accelerate toward morehead city and outer banks. in about 12 hours it will be past cape hatteras. in the hurricane center, had it making landfall morehead city to cape lookout, beaufort area. now they've shifted it a little offshore. we're not even guaranteed that we're definitely going to get that landfall. doesn't matter as much. only reason to be concerned about that is some of the strongest winds are right in the core of the eye. 90-mile-per-hour winds 6:00 to 8:00 a.m. in the morning, weakening down to a category 1. outer banks can deal with a category 1. they're used to getting hit by these storms once every four years and the building codes are very strict. i would not see a lot of wind damage from a category 1 on the outer banks. myrtle beach has been in the 50s for hours. it's like a tropical storm that will never end. no extreme winds. wilmington, not bad at all. you're only at 43-mile-per-hour winds. notice we keep saying the core of the storm. this one buoy gusted to 80 miles an hour. that would be enough to do damage if

tomorrow morning, already past morehead city.ay flooding on this, nothing like with matthew and florence. new bern, possibly four to five feet. we were never concerned with a lot of wind damage from this storm. it just wasn't going to be strong enough. we thought maybe if it kept onto that strong category 2 and went over north carolina, but we're at 48 in jacksonville. even the buoys offshore in the 60 to 75 range. that's what we'll expect in the outer banks. that's not going to cause a lot of damage there. what we have to worry about, we still have one more high tide cycle in the outer banks from 1:00 to 3:00 a.m. in general. the potential is there for four to seven feet for the last three days, especially in the carolinas. we've only done about two to three feet. it's been underachieving and not reaching potential. no complaints whatsoever. this is the graphic that -- if we're going to have fatalities out there, anything bad happens, this is our risk of flash flooding. when you get up to the high, it's pretty serious situation,

and that's going to increase as we go throughout the day for cities in north carolina, morehead city, 76-mile-per-hour gusts around 10:00. 92 by the overnight hours, peaking 100 possible for some of these cities along the north carolina coast. so this storm has been going on a wile. it's taken a while to get to the carolinas, wolf, but the threat is still very real across this portion of the country. >> certainly is. already, jennifer, thank you. >>> meanwhile, life-threatening storm surges are a major concern with coastal cities already seeing significant flooding. cnn's martin savidge is in myrtle beach, south carolina, for us. martin, a civil emergency has been declared there. what's the latest? >> reporter: the winds have really picked up, wolf. there's no doubt about that. we know that dorian is literally just about 50 miles that way. and on top of that, this is the area where they were fearing that the storm surge could be the hardest hitting. we are benefiting from the fact that the tide is going out. it was a lot higher just a couple of hours ago. you can also see how the wind

as you can see, some damage has already been done on emerald isel outside of morehead city.ilmington will be getting some of the worst from dorian later tonight when the sun goes down. so far, the eye of the storm has remained just off the mainland. but if it does make landfall, that would most likely happen off the mainland because the landfall would be on north carolina's outer banks. parts of south carolina and north carolina are also under tornado advisories. we've heard reports of several in the two states. you're looking at one of our affiliates spotted near myrtle beach. even though dorian was downgraded to a category 2 storm earlier today, obviously, it is still highly dangerous. speaking of that danger, let's -- we will have the latest forecast on dorian from the national hurricane center in a moment. first we want to go on the ground in south carolina to nbc correspondents, simone boyce in myrtle beach. what have you got for us? >> reporter: chuck, hurricane dorian has unleashed an unrelenting assault on the citizens here in myrtle beach, south carolina. you can se

morehead city starting to pick up. we showed you the potential of tornadoes. one tornado warning north of the sound areas. you can see the bands continue to spiral in here. these tornado watches go until 7:00 a.m. in the morning. now let's track the eye for you. we're getting close enough that we can do this. here is morehead city. this is where the cedar island ferry drives out to oak coke island. as we track the distance here, because this is -- there we go. let's do this again. this is the beach area. that's the northern eye. we got 31 miles from atlantic beach down to that northern eye. this is where the highest winds would be, and this is what we'll be watching to see if that moves on shore. the center of the storm is located down here. that's right in this area here. and so we're going to have to wait and see exactly what distance or how that plays itself up. this path may be along the coast. we're not sure we'll get official lachkd ondfall or not,. we'll be watching that in the next two hours as we go along. 3:00 a.m. is when we estimate we get the eye

winds and then here we go by willing to friday to see the storm and then getting very close to morehead cityas before looks like the storm system finally will move back out in the last may be headed up to nova scotia later on the weekends. thank you so much lauren still had a rowdy day at the state capitol after protesters. >>block governor gavin newsom's office are they are not happy with the controversial vaccine. bill that is now on his desk and right after the break at another school in oakland is targeted by thieves the school this out trying to pick up the pieces after $10,000. worth of supplies are gone. >>when the next big quake hits him will you be ready. more you'll increase your love from retro fit in your home, wall is what we're worried about the lapses to her early warning system week has started you're about to get a quake preparedness kits sold all in one place the radio and the theory is most dangerous polls kron four's giving you do fortunately for surviving the big one. >>her time in less than a month and oakland unified school district campus was hit by burglars senate co

or it may parallel or rake the coast from wilmington, atlantic beach, morehead city, all the way throughhe pimlico sounds. that's a possibility. 105-mile-per-hour winds to 90-mile-per-hour winds is nothing to sneeze at. and again, it will cause a lot of issues. as far as impacts go in florida, we're still concerned with the high tide, especially tomorrow afternoon. areas around jacksonville, duval county and st. john's river. as we head into georgia, same thing. near the brunswick area, the inlet area, some storm surge problems. not really concerned too much with the amount of rain and wind. but once we get to the carolinas, if we get to the eye, what's left of it, the center of the storm over land, that's when quo start to have problems with the winds causing issues, the storm surge, and heavy rain and inland flooding. and the same goes for area there's of north carolina. so we'll watch this continually over the next day or two, and we'll have to wait and see where it makes final destination there in north carolina. >> okay, bill karins, thank you for that. i know you're going to keep m

let's time it out for you, by tomorrow morning, you could see near morehead city, out in the outer banks there, you could end up seeing one of the landfalls, then, over the outer banks, nags head, all need to be on the lookout. surge in the area of four to seven feet. nantucket by saturday morning could see gusts to 60, still from dorian. >> all right, potentially two landfalls. we'll be watching it with you. ginger, our thanks to you again tonight. >>> and in the bahamas, the death toll rising and the new fear at this hour that that toll could grow much higher. the staggering damage seen from the air tonight and the fear of what they might find under all of that debris there. the u.s. coast guard ferrying the injured to get medical help, as that death toll begins its staggering climb. and abc's victor oquendo traveling with one aid group to freeport, grand bahama, tonight. >> reporter: tonight, the desperate search for the missing. the whereabouts of hundreds unknown. officials fear the death toll could be staggering. coast guard helicopters fanning out across the northern bahamas, some

here's what we are looking for wind feeds -- wind speed, morehead city where the center of circulationis, 50 miles an hour, winds at 50 miles an hour, heavy rain. here is future radar, the center of circulation past cape lookout, still run over areas of the outer banks lasting the next couple hours before running back out overwater. the mid-atlantic, a couple rounds of showers but we don't expect this to bring heavy rain until you get to portions of new england. at that point the center of circulation as well offshore so we are not expecting any major wind but something to pay attention to before eventually running back into canada so i do think we are close to landfall in the outer banks of north carolina and then we will pay attention to that for the rest of the morning. >> once the storm does make landfall people still need to be aware of things like flooding. >> this is going to make 0 difference. we are talking very close to landfall. it is not going to slow the storm in anyway. it is just a note to say it finally made landfall. all these concerns will still be present. >> meteoro

a category 3 and getting very close to morehead city this is where it gets a little bit unpredictableo as we're going to see that storm system getting close to landfall and of course a strong enough that feel the storm force winds the hurricane force winds that system sweeps on through back out west we go we've got low clouds and the fog that are moving on shore temperatures tomorrow, mainly in the 60's and 70's in the san francisco cool along the coastline numbers in the 60's there should clear out by the afternoon but about 77 degrees foster city 80 degrees follow the south bay europe comfortably into the 80's, many spots the lazy though, then 80's and 90's well, inland 74 degrees. castro valley, 75 degrees in oakland about 88 in pittsburgh, 81 in blaine about 80 degrees in sandra fell and 77 degrees mill valley next few days we're going to see those temperatures cooling down a running below the average starting on thursday and friday and probably feeling a little bit like fall as we head in toward the weekend. thank you lawrence for your help tonight labor day weekend it came with

i was watching on the weather, and we saw it make that turn toward morehead city and i felt at that point we were going to be in for a lot of flooding. unfortunately, we are. she's out here working now. >> benny, we've just gotten word that your county is going to be evacuating people by air. what are you -- what do you need at this point in time? what do your neighbors need? are you able to get out? >> no. those that were able to get their vehicles to higher ground, i believe those vehicles were spared. it's just very limited space here as far as parking. everything is right at a very low level. like my vehicle was actually completely under water. the only thing from the door handles down was underwater. i imagine it's the same for a lot of people. >> so how do you get out? have you contacted authorities? what are you going to do? >> well, for now i'm going to do what i can with my aunt, try to clean up. i believe they said the coast guard, national guard was going to be coming. and if they do, we'll do the best we can to get off the island at that point. >> all right, benny. thank you s

then up to wilmington, morehead city and cape hatteras eventually. that's all the way out till friday. think of this. by saturday on long island, new york, they're expecting 30 miles an hour or so winds. a storm surge and raging seas. that's saturday. much more than a week after all of this began. steve harrigan kicks off our storm coverage. he's in nassau, the capitol of the bahamas where the coast guard is staging and trying to mount rescues. steve, they have a lot of work ahead. >> certainly do, shepard. it's slow-going for a lot of reasons. you can hear the helicopters behind me. over my left shoulder, you can see a small group of people. most of them have been here all morning. those are people waiting to find out if relatives are dead or alive, if people will get off the helicopters. we've seen a steady flow. one or two at a times. people getting off helicopters, some with broken arms, broken legs on dialysis, diabetics getting into the ambulances and moving into hospitals here in town. the ambulances on those northern islands of grand bahama a

in fact, the area from south carolina, south westward to about charleston in the area morehead city northeastern, this would be florence as far as when the dust goes. >> sean: job is dirty, whether bell.com we will check the storm all week as it's moving up the east coast. we turn to some big breaking news just now from the ranking member of the house intel committee congressman devin nunes, devin nunes followed a lawsuit fusion gps over racketeering claims. that is happening a short time ago and i remember during his congressional testimony, robert mueller of the special counsel said he wasn't familiar with fusion sheet he has so we didn't know that jeannie ray was once hillary clinton's attorney and yet she was on his special counsel staff. just to remind you. >> when you talk about the firm that produced the steel reporting, the name of the firm that produced that was fusion gps, is that correct? >> i'm not familiar with that. >> it's not a trick question. fusion gps. >> no, that would not be a trick question but you needed to know that and everybody else in the free world that is following t

right near wilmington there and then it looks like possibly morehead city cape hatteras you could seethe fact that i could move on shore expect some localized flooding with that and lots of damage as hurricane dorian takes path of the ud stat. >>then let's over with giants baseball last night, a lone home run made the difference just one jack in the game tonight. defense optional bruce bocce given some fine wine by the cards in his last managerial visit to louis top of the 6 for all brandon crawford. lifts want to center field just to get over the wall. has 11th of the season, 7 for giants. bottom 6 cards within one and threatening paul goldschmidt the giants killer goes the opposite way right-center field gap to the wall to run score redbirds take the lead again 7 gold. the couple of hits and 4 rbi the top of the 8 still 8, 7, kevin paul are at the dish crushes one deep to left into the st. louis night. you run, jack 9 a giants lars 21th home run of the season and that is still the score in the night. now we are less than 24 hours away from the official kickoff of the 2019 nfl regula

morehead city just about in play. moving into friday, we've moved into the outer banks. and even norfolk, we could see major storm surge working its way in. let's look at that. the storm surge potential this week. 6 to 9 feet from st. simon's island, charleston, myrtle beach into wilmington and cape hatteras. high tide, and this also extends right back into florida. high tide right around lunchtime. and so that means we are talking about possibility of flooding, especially going inland. and then there's the rain, chris. we're talking about anywhere from 5 to 7 inches of rain from melbourne to cape hatteras. but isolated areas could see upwards of a foot of rain. and the potential, 4 million people without power in florida. and west paulm beach up to daytona and savannah and the outer banks. this is going to be a high impact. people should not pay attention to the fact it's down to a category 2. that's not the issue. the issue is going to be storm surge, the winds, the rain. still can have a lot of damage with a category 2 storm. >> i remember vividly, it was over a week

>> yeah, we just drove down from morehead city through welcomes and came through poppy sheets and sheetsrain in the bands. but sbrmtly you get into a period like this relative lull. wilmington is waiting to find out if this storm which has just been popping up and down the coast of the united states will actually make landfall here or out at carolina beach where they're getting some strong winds. right now there is a flash flood warning for this area. rain is going to be potentially a really big problem. but right now we are just waiting to see if in fact dorian makes landfall here for the first time in the united states in what seems to be a storm that just never seems to end, poppy. >> it will just not quit. thank you very much. hoping for the best for you and your crew. outfront now north carolina governor, roy cooper. thank you for being with me. >> thanks a lot poppy. >> you were briefed on the hurricane moments ago. you are saying it's a long night ahead. what should and people in your state expect. >> dorian has north carolina in its sights. it will be a long night. and we know th

them this morning originated as a waterspout and came on land causing damage across portions of morehead city. the orange, that is a level 3 out of 5 for severe weather, so again the threat is relatively high for those tornados. in addition to that, you also have to worry about the flooding. this is likely to be the biggest widespread problem from dorian going forward, not just in the form of storm surge but also very heavy rainfall. virginia, north carolina and south carolina, you are talking widespread amounts of 4 to 6 inches, but you will have numerous locations, especially where you see those shades of red or even pink where you're talking 8, 10, if not even a foot of rain coming down. now, you factor that on top of the storm surge, this is why coastal flooding is likely going to be pretty significant. these red areas right here, erica, you're talking about wilmington, myrtle beach and hatteras. you're talking 4 to 7 feet of storm surge. >> reporter: and that is a lot to contend with. allison, thank you. we are still under a flash flod warning here in charleston, in north charleston as

all the way from wilmington almost a to morehead city in a cape hatteras as well at the norfolk is we're going to see that storm system rolling up to the north now the storm surge going to be an issue some of those generally 4 to 7 feet to more and city may be upwards of 8 feet in some of those inlets there but the latest track here 100 mile an hour sustained winds tracking a right near the coastline possibly making landfall near hatteras before pushing out in the middle of the atlantic hopefully making its way never to be seen again. thank you lights and as that is happening. >>this might strike you something new might expect to see on a saturday night live skit a hurricane forecast map here with. altered ends it appears to be drawn using a sharpie or something that doctored map is what president trump is using to justify that hurricane dorian did actually pose a threat to alabama aides to the president will not. >>rule out that it was trump himself who altered the map which has now been seen around the world. cnn's jim acosta has the story. >>leaving what may become an indelible mark o

likely to continue and grow as you're seeing some 55 mile an hour 57 mile an hour gusts now in the morehead city certainly that can do some damage that we had some gusts near a 100 miles per hour along the coastline today and more that on the way overnight tonight, not only that but look at this see these red spots these are all tornadoes that popped up throughout the last 6 hours along with this storm system as it rotates on through so that can cause all kinds of there's been damage with some tornadoes touching ground near the coastal sections as well and tornado watches continuing storm surge, a big problem expecting 4 to 7 feet along the coastline. some major coastal flooding, a real possibility as the storm system. yeah just start to pick up some speed now to 15 miles per hour by tomorrow morning, maybe landfall, cape hatteras then finally moving out the middle of the atlantic and finally hopefully down with this may be moving up in nova scotia as we head toward the weekend here. tenet and we've got some cooler weather that breeze kicking in on saturday. but we've got some offshore winds tem

we think this storm might make landfall up north of us in wilmington or morehead city near cape hatteras. the other side going down that way is where i spent hurricane florence last year on myrtle beach and that's where we'll find simone boyce. what are the conditions like where you are? >> reporter: ali, the rain is still coming down, the pretty fierce wind gusts. as you can see, this water rising up behind me because we are currently in high tide right now. i know that is something we've been talking about a lot but it is of concern because it just means that this wall of water can be pushed even further into the city and we're already seeing some instances of flooding in residential areas and shopping centers here in myrtle beach. ali, i started out covering hurricane dorian in south florida, in west palm beach. then we moved up north near orlando, daytona beach, and i can tell you that the damage we're seeing here in myrtle beach, south carolina, and all along the carolinas is far worse than anything i laid my eyes on in florida. just as an example, tornado warnings. we woke up to so

cone of uncertainty begins in between charleston and savannah, includes the myrtle beach area, morehead city, emerald isle, still the norfolk, virginia beach areas. it only drops in intensity to about a category 2 for eastern north carolina. category 2 is -- you are going to have some damage, you are going to have some significant problems and power outages, too. that would potentially be thursday night into friday. that's the new part of that forecast. for people that have interests up in new england, only cape cod and nantucket, martha's vineyard are in that cone, by then it would be transitioning into a nor'easter storm. it does look like nova scotia will get hit with this likely with winds up to 80 to 90 miles per hour. dorian will still brush areas of the east coast. this was our american model that brings it almost on shore in eastern north carolina and the european model looks very similar to that. the big summary, with the new update, is that dorian has weakened, but it's not supposed to weaken much after this and areas of south carolina and north carolina especially need to prepare

. >> okay, mayor jerry jones from morehead city, north carolina. the storm we are tracking is going to be very close to you, maybe exactly where you are. we wish you the best of luck. hope you and your community remain very safe over the next 24 hours. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> all right. and later we will get an update on the devastation in the bahamas. search-and-rescue efforts are continuing there tonight. the death toll has reached 23 there officially. msnbc will continue to update you on the hurricane in the hours and days ahead. >>> and coming up, president trump heads into the autumn with no clear policy agenda. instead, he is spending a lot of his time attacking his critics and defending his mistaken claim about the hurricane threatening alabama. >>> plus, the rise of elizabeth warren. the massachusetts senator is getting big crowds and trying to lead the policy debate. president trump has taken notice and reportedly now sees her as a serious threat to his reelection. we've got much more to get to. stay with us. snacking ca

hurricane florence did or tropical storm florence did a year ago somewhere north of wilmington, morehead city, cape hatteras, that area. so for now, we're okay here but there's going to be flooding in the area in and around charleston, steph. >> you called it a triple threat and i'm calling on you to head back inside, please. i'm going to check in with you later. let's go now to msnbc meteorologist michelle grossman. michelle, just yesterday when you and i were speaking you said, this storm is unpredictable. it certainly is delivering. it is now stronger than we expected. >> overnight we jumped 10 miles per hour so bump us back into a category 3 storm. the entire time this began on august 23rd as a depression and became a hurricane a few days later so almost every day has been surprising to us. now, take a look at radar. we are looking at heavy rain. you saw ali's live shot. they already have 4 inches of rain. charleston cannot handle a lot of rain in the roadways. they'll get 2 to 3 inches per hour in some of those squalls. we'll be watching ali very closely during the day and all up along t

category 2 with a 105 mile an hour winds near cape hatteras again and secondary landfall near morehead city and then finally moving out into the atlantic. certainly a scary storm of this comes on shore. this is going to be a devastating storm in parts of the carolinas. all right you're tenet and we're looking at some cooler weather on track for the weekend looks like much cooler maybe taste of fall, as we get toward the middle of next week. lars thank you another big story tonight, san francisco leaders are asking other cities and states and the federal government. >>to declare the national rifle association, a domestic terrorist organization city's board of supervisors made that declaration in a resolution passed the last tonight. >>kron 4 sanaz to hernia talk with the author of the resolution. >>they don't want us to study gun violence because gun prophecy more in america mice. >>san francisco supervisor catherine stefani is talking about the nra she wrote the resolution that declares the nra a domestic terrorist organization, i wrote. >>after the garlic festival shooting just absolutely

my partner ali velshi in morehead city, north carolina and morgan chesky joining us from nassau.what's it like there? >> reporter: well, look. it's cleared up here. there is no rain. the first time i've not been completely bundled up in the clothes you organized for me. thank you. we even saw a little sun a moment ago. it is kind of hard to believe that 65 miles northeast of here is cape hatteras where this storm has made landfall. it is, as you said, punishing winds over there. overnight six hours ago there were heavy winds here. they didn't do any structural damage. they took trees down and some power lines. back in the bahamas obviously this was a wind storm. back before that in puerto rico it wasn't. up the east coast of the united states, again, storm surge. it's been different things all along for a very, very long time. but here in north carolina the number of people without power, the number of people trapped much lower than had been anticipated for a couple reasons. the timing of the storm didn't coincide exactly with the highest of the tide which would have caused probl

right now the city of morehead is under a mandatory curfew it. started 9:00 last night.re actually pulled over by police here last night as we were coming in which is awesome because they do such a good job protecting this community. they wanted to know who we were, why we were still on the road. why we weren't taking shelter yet. so they're keeping everybody safe right now. the other piece of good news is that power was out earlier a couple hours ago and it is back on. so that's good news as well. that means that first responders can see where they are going if they need a response and power lines are down and trees are down. they are going to be a lot safer knowing where they are going before the sun comes up. like i said, dorian was just that way towards the beach, atlantic beach, emerald ill. not too far away from here. and we could feel the intensity probably as close as we are going to get to the eye of the storm. and here comes that band again that's going to whip me around. sometimes it whips me so hard i can't breathe. that's how strong this storm has been. than

for high impact landfall is going to be over north carolina as we get in towards hatteras and morehead cityffshore. although it will be a big deal with perhaps 100 mile-per-hour winds as extra tropical system for friends in canada and maritime provinces. i will be happy when it is offshore. steve: it has been a long week. thank you, jd. brian: let's bring in geraldo rivera fox news correspondent at large. he is in ohio. he knows hurricanes better than anyone being in the middle of it. you know waters and danger being experienced sailor. does this storm in south carolina remind you of anything, geraldo? >> brian, i bring back to what you and i said together on the "the five" couple days ago. bahamas is awful story a human tragedy, that is developing we'll see how bad it gets as we saw through the wreckage and so forth. i think of dorian, other than the baja -- bahamas and suffering as a miracle. it missed virgin islands. it missed stricken puerto rico which has not recovered from maria and irma. now it is basically missing east coast of the united states, it will go up and go into the canadi

and then by 2:00, 3:00 a.m., the potential land hal, morehead beach, atlantic city, north carolina. you wake up and it should be near cape hatteras, the buxton area, and heading out to sea. as far as the biggest impacts, we have one more high tide psych goal through later on tonight and we'll have to watch out for the potential of heavy rain and flooding. possibility of winds up to 100 miles an hour. if this is going to be in the lower 48 a big deal that's going to require people to be out without power and storm surge issues, everything is going to happen in the next 18 hours because we're done with this by about noon tomorrow. >> understood. hopefully most of the devastation is over. bill karins, our viewers have come to rely on you. thank you as always. appreciate it. >>> we mentioned the president's state of mind. what is he focused on during as we said it's cost americans lives and the bahamas lives. he's tweeting this false claim he thought alabama could have been in the storm's path. he tried to back that up a number of ways. he shared the potential routes. as you see, that m
