seen, especially for the northwest bahamas islands, so we'll certainly bring you the very latest there. now, as for the storm, you mentioned we had a landfall. the first official u.s. landfall, and that happened around 8:35 this morning off of cape hatteras. it is moving north and eastward, and it's really going to start to accelerate. you can see with the radar within the last couple of hours, there's our landfall, and it's starting to boot out to sea, which is great. but we're still going to see the effects along the coast, 60 miles per hour winds in elizabeth city. here are the peak wind gusts, we saw over 90 miles per hour, cape lookout, north carolina. atlantic beach, even charleston harbor, 75 miles per hour. and, by the way, we had over two dozen reports of tornadoes yesterday as well, so we'll for that. my apologies for not being right on my mark right away. stuart: i'm shocked, janice -- >> reporter: it's the first time in i don't know how long. stuart: that is true. [laughter]

it is still thrashing the northwest bahamas and this is a devastating deadly storm that has not finished yet. the coast is not clear for florida and the carolinas and georgia and we are seeing outer bands hitting the east coast of florida and storm surge, 5 to 7 feet of storm surge invulnerable areas but not out of the woods, still a major hurricane with potential to strengthen over the next several hours, still a category 3, the latest advisory and the new track. still a major hurricane as we go through the next 24-36 hours. if there is good news, the cone has shifted eastward so the hurricane impacts will remain offshore. however as we get to the next couple days, it comes close to south, north carolina. this is something we have to watch for. at the least, beach erosion, storm surge 7 feet and potentially a foot of rainfall so this will be a big event perhaps not for florida but closer to the carolinas thursday and friday. still a major hurricane causing damage to the northwestern bahamas. it is something we can take lightly. rob: better pictures out of the bahamas's northern ireland

hurricane dorian, the category 5 storm is the strongest storm to hit the northwest bahamas in moderncked over power lines, flooded homes, sunday afternoon. forecasters say it will move toward florida late monday. >>> we have new details about the mass shooting in texas that left 7 dead and 22 oers injurth injured. the incident did not appear to be an act of dmomestic or international terror. the incident happened after police turned over the suspect in a traffic stop. he drove off shooting multiple people before stealing a usps van. sunday they confirmed he used an ar style rifle until the attack. now back to kasie dc. >>> welcome back, we continue to keep a close eye on hurricane dorian tonight. when it hit great abaco island earlier today. maximum sustained winds were 185 miles per hour, gusts at 220. that tied the atlantic landfall hurricane record set for the labor day storm in 1935. deputy director of the national hurricane center joins me from highway, ed rappaport. do you expect any surprises, any tweaks? >> no, no surprise expected from the next advisory but certainly it's a

it's been over the northwest bahamas for over 30 hours adready.e likely have another 24 hours, buev've st steering currents for now, this trough where you see that brown area right there, it's going to accelerate it off to the north and northwest. that's when it will make its closest approach to florida. this occurs probably as a category 3 storm rapidly ngcelerating and then becoming an issue for the carolinas as we move into thursday and friday. so this storm not done yet, but we are waiting for that very critical turn. i think the closest approach to hurricane-force conditions in your area, norah, will likely be tomorrow evening. >> o'donnell: all right. megan, thank you. we learned today that the gunman who went on a killing spree in fst texas called the f.b.i. and in1 just minutes before saturd 23 others were wounded, including a 17-month-old girl. mireya villarreal has new developments tonight from tessa, texas.

northward curve sometime this morning or later this afternoon but the storm has been better in the northwest bahamas for 24-36 hours and it is some of the images coming in, devastation for these areas, complete annihilation of some of these areas on the northwestern side of the bahamas. we were at a 5 yesterday. category 3120 mile-per-hour sustained winds but still a major hurricane and can still do devastating damage. wind gusts as we get the outer bands across the eastern shores of florida, 37 miles per hour, up to 30 mph in west palm beach and the center of the storm around 90 miles east of the east coast of florida. we have to watch the latest track as we go through time. the good news is we are getting a better idea where the center of the storm is going to be for the next 24-48 hours and all indications are this is not going to make landfall across florida. as we get into the carolinas tomorrow and thursday, that is when we get the closest brush. here is that cohen, very good indication we are going to see most of the storm, the strongest winds offshore, off the coast of florida. as we get int

officials estimate the more than 60000 people in the northwest bahamas will need food following the catastrophic storm the strongest ever to hit the country the category 3 storm is now heading towards the southeastern united states u.n. experts have released a report saying all parties in the yemen conflict may be involved in war crimes the report accuses the saudi u.a.e. coalition of killing civilians with airstrikes and deliberately denying them aid this fight the country being on the brink of fine and investigators have given a list of suspects to the un rights chief. south africa's president has condemned days of widespread xenophobic looting as totally unacceptable more than 100 people have been arrested in johannesburg since violence broke out on sunday targeting foreign owned shops police confirmed on tuesday that 5 people have died in the attacks more news in half an hour at the stream is coming up next thanks for watching. i'm a democrat again i'm a journalist at the bureau the rest good journalism and your english. and i'm only going to what would you do if telling the truth meant defy

it battered the northwest bahamas, the grand bahama island here for 36 hours with category 5, category storm surge, winds, rain, the pictures out of this area will be complete devastation in some of these areas. this is an historic storm for them. it will be catastrophic. now, let's take a look at what happened. the storm is going to remain we think offshore from florida. you're still going to see storm surge and heavy rain and wind and potential for tornadoes. as we get into wednesday and thursday coming very close to the border of south carolina, north carolina, perhaps as a category 3 and perhaps making a landfall, a direct impact. so we have to watch this obviously very carefully over the next several days. florida, it looks good for you. we're still going to see some indirect impacts but in terms of a landfall, in terms of a brush of a major hurricane or perhaps category 2, a strong one, is going to be across the carolinas thursday and friday. so we're still going to watch this. and finally, finally it's out of here and towards the canadian maritime islands on the weekend. so the

that's the concern for the next few days but first the northwest bahamas tonight and tomorrow and increasingly along the florida east coast later tomorrow and into tuesday. that i'm ed rappaport. adam: we're not really going to know that until makes the turn and that won't happen until late tomorrow or tuesday but the other thing i took away as they did at additional areas for a hurricane watch everything north of the hurricane warned area you see there in red. they are beginning to think this is closer and will be a very tight call in the next couple of days. >> thank you, adam. for now i'm jackie in new york and now back to regular programming which is already in progress. jacksonville has giant growing list of cities and counties issuing mandatory evacuation orders. we can give you a quick look at a map that shows the areas that are affected. they are the low-lying areas. the red and orange areas on the map closest to the water where people are most of at risk. those folks are being told to get out and shelters are opening across the city at 10:00 tomorrow morning. back live, the city is co

forecasters warm tropical storm conditions are expected in the northwest bahamas by tonight.f thousands of people were left homeless and 2,500 people have been reported missing. after dorian slammed the island nation as a category 5 hurricane, right now the death toll stands at 50 but is expected to crime dramatically. joining me with more, weather anchor dave price. are we approaching it? >> we are in the peak of it, the actual middle of the hurricane season. the meat of it. >> so this is a surprise? >> it is not a surprise at all. the problem with this storm, forget the u.s. coastline right now. forget the strength of the storm. the problem is the rains that this system is producing and the fact that it is not moving. look at these numbers right now. we are talking about what is called potential tropical cyclone 9. forget the technical aspects of that name. its location right now, about 235 miles east/southeast of freeport, grand bahama, winds now 30 miles per hour. its movement is stationary. a baby's crawl is faster, and it is just sitting over this area. so right now wha

in, we're all going to be terrified seeing what they went through for 24-36 hours across the northwest bahamas. that would have been the u.s. had it made that turn later or stalled to make that turn. it is now making that move towards the north, so the bahamas are doing to get better. we have hurricane warnings overnight. we'll probably see some hurricane force winds along the coast of florida. nothing as bad as if we had a cat 4 or cat 5 make direct landfall. we also have hurricane warnings now up across the charleston area. that is what we're going to be seeing wednesday into thursday. this is the current radar. you see the bulk of the moisture staying off shore, which is good news. we'll probably see some spots maybe 2 to 3 inches of rain. some bands of storms could move on. we could see a quick brief tornado along with that storm. you get the idea. this is how we now know the forecast. see that little brown color? that's a dip in the jet stream that is going to pull the storm up towards the north. the difficulty was forecasting that when all of that energy was way back across the pacific o

looking at anywhere between 10 and 15 inches of rainfall over the trek of -- through the extreme northwest bahamasou rightly said we anticipate it will stall and has already started to. it's now down to eight miles per hour in terms of its forward speed and we expect that to reduce further as it continues to push toward the west. and the problem with that is that it will continue to dump heavy rains over these islands which have been receiving rainfall over the past week or so. so the dwrounds are already satura saturated from these rains and dorian will only add and exacerbate the rainfall situation. >> so explain how much damage could something like 15 inches of rain over a very short period of time do? and not just over that 24-hour period of time. there's a tale to, this right? the threat continues long after dorian has gone. >> it's mind-boggling to try to wrap your head around with the damage you can do when you take into consideration the fact that battering waves for prolonged periods of time coupled with storm surge to islands like grand bahama which are vulnerable to storm surge, we have

the northwest bahamas could see as much as eight months' worth of rain in just a few days. >> and then take a look at this. you get a sense of how big and vast this thing is from the international space station. it's the strongest storm anywhere on the planet right now and noaa released pictures of dorian's eye wall. wow. right in the middle there. you get to see the stadium effect, that's a phenomenon that you see when you're in the middle of the storm. right there you see the sun. wow. let's bring in our meteorologist ivan cabrera to tell us more about that and where the storm is going. >> most of us will never be in the eye of a storm like that, flight level like that. just incredible scenes. right now in grand bahama island, you have to imagine, 180-mile-an-hour winds coming in from the north and all of a sudden it goes to zero. you got the eye. people are going to be out wandering, perhaps looking up at the stars. you'll be able to see them. 180-mile-an-hour winds come back on the southern side. this is going to be a long night. it's going to be a long day tomorrow and the day aft

the northwest bahamas could see as much as eight months' worth of rain in just a few days alone. >> this is now my house. the water is up to my calf. lost the kitchen. stove. >> and this is what dorian looks like from the international space station. >> wow. >> it is the strongest storm anywhere on the planet this year. and noaa released pictures of dorian's eye wall showing the clouds curving outward. a phenomenon known as the stadium effect. and our meteorologist ivan cabrera joins us now. so, ivan, the images that we've seen of what people are dealing with in the bahamas just terrifying and there's so much more to come. >> and there's so much more to come and those pictures are going to pale in comparison to what we're going to see over the next couple of days in the bahamas. once you start getting the aerial shots you're going to see areas that are going to be completely destroyed 100% across the bahamas there. it's an incredible scene. we're not going to get those pictures for several days because of the slow movement of the storm. if you threw everything at this as far as the storm

the northwest bahamas could see as much as eight months' worth of rain in just a few days. >> this is now my house. the water is up to my calf. there is the kitchen. stove. >> and this from the international space station. it has captured these pictures of dorian, the strongest storm, as we said, anywhere on the planet this year and noaa released pictures of dorian's eye wall that show the clouds curving outward. that is a phenomenon known as the stadium effect. so let's get more into the storm, its path and severity with our meteorologist ivan cabrera joining me here now. what can you say about this, ivan? >> well, it's just never happened before. we don't know what is going to be left there in the bahamas. a lot of folks are praying for the folks there and you can understand why. this is an unprecedented event me me mete -- 180-mile-an-hour winds. this thing has now made landfall basically twice across abacos and now look at that, just the incredible eye moving through the eastern part of grand bahama. freeport about to get the worst conditions of what this category 5 has to offer h

the northwest bahamas could see as much as eight months' worth of rain in just a few days. >> this is now my house. the water is up to my calf. so is the kitchen. the hole is getting bigger in the roof. that's a lot of water. >> and this is what dorian looks like from the international space station. that gives you an idea of the size of this storm. as we said, the strongest anywhere on the planet this year. also noaa released pictures of dorian's eyewall that showed the clouds curving outward. that's a phenomenon known as a stadium effect. let's bring in ivan cabrera. >> you saw the sun there with that picture. the hurricane hunters there, you can see bright blue skies, sunshine, and then beneath them, of course, the washing machine that is the claatlantic ocean, caribbean sea at this point. what they're going through right now, we don't know because it hasn't happened before. let's show you the pictures. the way we measure these hurricanes is by pressure. but if we're just going to go by wind, there's only been one that's been higher, and that was 190-mile-an-hour winds. that was ba

you can see the damage it has done in the northwest bahamas. biggest concern for dorian over the next few days. >> thank you to the folks at the hurricane center for remarkable forecasting. this has been a stubborn storm and a powerful storm. we are relying on you for all this information. >>> hurricane dorian has been unusually challenging for forecasters like ed. it has been slow to move and especially tough to track. joining me is the founder and ceo of our daily planet, a daily news service focussed on environmental issues. she is also the former deputy administrator for n.o.a.a. hurricanes are something you understand well, monica. it used to be -- i have been covering hurricanes for a long time. it used to be that if you brought up the effect of climate change on hurricanes, people would say to you this isn't the time to talk about that. we're past that now. people don't say that anymore. they understand that we have to talk about this. hurricanes are gaining in intensity in large part because the oceans are warming. >> it's a triple wham

bahamas. and then gradually, that turns more toward the northwest, so will it move 30 degrees more towards theght it move in the trajectory that is more towards the north? this is going to be days long. so all of the way from the bahamas, and right around freeport all of the way to west palm beach, it is roughly miles, give or take or 160 kilometers and that is a narrow channel, and this is a broad system that it couldn't help but impact this east coast of florida. landfall, we are still unsure. it is too early. i know that is fraustrating for people, john, they have put it together, and gotten the water and the cash and prepared the homes and it is frustrating to not know at this point, but we will keep you updated. >> we know what we know, and we don't know what we don't know. and karen, thank you for the valuable reporting. >>> the bahamas is going to find out very soon how bad hurricane dorian is going to be, and if the residents are not in a safe place, it could be too late. patrick oppenheim is reporting. >> the time has pretty much passed for bahamians where the hurricane is going to hi

tropical storm is threatening the northwest of the bahamas less than 2 weeks off the island was devastated by hurricane dorian it's feared it could hamper the search for survivors and also international aid efforts many residents were evacuated from remote regions to the capital in the south before dorian struck alan fisher has the latest now on the relief operation. the the everyday things that will rebuild ordinary lives ripped apart their t. shirts and shorts and dresses and politics all gathered by the people in ny so for those who lost everything in the hurricane literally we've had thousands of people to come in from the island with nothing but the clothes on their back some not even with shoes so they lost everything and so this set up is just to be there to help people regain some kind of dignity and you know and then humanity and just the good feeling about themselves and to be independent again. it started as a call to a few people went vital and suddenly it became a major operation the next step is distribution was no organization no grouping it was just a message sent out and t

and everyone in the northwest bahamas is being advised to take shelter. we're covering this massive storm on all fronts for you. let's first go to our meteorologist, michelle grossman. okay. it is a category 5. what does that mean? how dangerous is it? put it in perspective for us. >> alex, this is a dangerous and dire and scary situation for the northwestern bahamas right now. now making almost as land fall. winds of 170 miles per hours. gusting near 200 miles per hour. hoping and praying that residents and tourists have taken shelter there. le let's look at this. you note how powerful this is. look at this eye. it is perfect. textbook perfect. looking at the cloud tops, the thunderstorms or other thunderstorms bearing down on the islands. they're going to have a rough go over the next 46 hours. we're looking at a dangerous situation. here's the location right. affecting it right now. 180 miles per hour winds. gusting higher. there was only one other hurricane in history with winds higher than that. we're moving at 7 miles per hour. slow, and moving very

i mean, we've been talking about the northwest bahamas.vastating. this storm is actually going through some structural changes. we call this eyewall replacement cycle. that means the inner eye wall takes over for the outer eye wall. it collapses. it's a way for the storm to try to strengthen again but in the intermediate term, that means it weaken as little bit. we're hoping it continues to weaken now that it is being influenced by a trough of low pressure that will eventually open the door to move this northward. getting wind gusts in excess of 30, 35 miles per hour along the coast. we did see a wind gust in excess of 60 miles per hour. as this storm continues to now kind of crawl a little bit more towards the northwest. my concern is the closest brush it comes to land, making a landfall is going to be across portions of south carolina and north carolina as we get into thursday and friday. possibly as a category 3 or category 2. some of these areas were affected by matthew. some of these areas still affected by hurricane florence from las

bahamas. despite the relatively calm conditions here, keep in mind that just to the northwest of us grand bahama is currently getting slammed by hurricane dorian moving at a snail's pace dumping feet of rain and still bringing those incredibly high winds to that area. we do know that some people were able to seek shelter on that island, especially after viewing the destruction it brought. thousands of people woke up without homes surrounded by water and not knowing what to do. some of those turning to their phones to issue pleas for help on social media. now i did have a chance to speak to the prime minister of the bahamas earlier today. he said that doran is like fighting a war with an opponent where they have all the weapons and you have none of them. saying that conditions are so bad. he hasn't even been able to fly over abaco island. but he reassured me that the bahamians are a resilient people that treat each other as family, and despite all the destruction we have seen so far will come out of this on top. we expect to learn much more about the impact of this storm. but at this point in tim
