a hurricane warning is in effect for a stretch of coastline south of tallahassee. while people in florida are preparing for heavy rain and flooding, people here in iowa are still cleaning up after last week's storms. in winneshiek county, those people have to dispose of furniture, carpet, appliances and more from their homes and businesses. one recycling center is converted to help people get rid of all of their flood damaged items. workers say they've been working constantly they can. ",' 22:51:47 the soggy stuff like the furniture that's all beat up and soggy like look at that stuff that i'm gonna go in there with a skid loader here and we'd like to go in their and compact it a little bit and break it up and then we're gonna load it in these roll offs and landfill it " the recycling center will stay open as long as people need it -- the center will also be open throughout the labor day weekend. resort and campground near clermont reopened today. last week, floodwaters almost five feet deep covered the skip-a-way resort and campground. the owners say volunteers he

this is where we're expecting land fall again south east of tallahassee and apalachee bay. we'll continue to watch that. future casts wind gusts show this may not be a problem through the overnight hou we may still some gusty winds at least for some time tomorrow morning into, say, early afternoon before things finally start to quiet down a little bit later on tomorrow night pt. of course, we'll be back in about 25 minutes with the latest track update on hermine. take a look at some of the rain fall totals and look at where the rain is across the area. all of that again 25 minutes problems for the low lying areas like crystal river and where we are the county telling me they're expecting the roads to flood up to u19. we've seen flooded roads in neighborhoods today. adding more water is just going to create a much bigger mess. that storm surge expected around three, four, five in the morning. a local-state of emergency there are shelters opening up. if you under the low lying areas they're evacuate. if you haven't evacuated you should. if not you could be in for a very long

it's about 35 miles south-southeast of tallahassee, coming on shore at near a place called st. marks florida. so let's take a look at it now. you can see it has 80-mile-an-hour winds at this time. the movement is north northeast at 14 miles an hour. we put it into motion. you can see it heads up to charleston by friday at 8:00 in winds. it now is heading up to norfolk, and it has still the 50-mile-an-hour winds. this is saturday morning at 8:00 a.m., and as we extend it on out, you can see it becomes a low pressure system by sunday, and it does have 65-mile-an-hour winds at that time. so it's going to travel up that eastern seaboard, drag a lot of moisture with it. i would imagine we are going to see a lot of flooding throughout the weekend up and down that area, and marc, a lot of lost commerce with the labor day weekend, and all of that moisture forcing people off of the coastline. we'll have more weather, coming up. >> all right, dave, we'll check in with you in a few minutes. >>> a woman who ran over her boyfriend with a car after he allegedly told her that he had hiv and t

. >>> beginning south of tallahassee where the storm first made landfall. >> reporter: carol, good morning. it is incredible when you think about it that the eye of then-hurricane hermine was actually pounding the area of the panhandle, not far from where we are standing right to you. now the skies are clearing and so are some of the roadways. this stretch of road here in st. marks was actually completely flooded but the water has receded quicker than we expected. roads also being cleared of any debris. that was a major issue for first responders who were trying to get into this area to make sure everybody was okay. at this point we do understand that there were no major injuries. there were a few people who had to be rescued from a home after a tree fell on top of that house. that, carol, is really what officials want people to keep in mind. we are expecting to hear from florida governor rick scott in a few moments. but he is getting a i head of his message right now by recommending people simply stay indoors, stay home as crews try to pick up the pieces, clear out the roadways. then hope

south of daytona beach. this is something else that we're watching for. not just high winds and flooding but a possibility of flooding in so it will impact tallahassee later on this afternoon and into the evening and then moves to the north. the latest locations, again, just to the south of the tallahassee area. winds are 75 miles an hour moving north-northeast at 14. on this track, it will move close to the coast and then off our coast. yesterday it looked like it would move more inland. it will still impact the beaches. we've got more showers and thunderstorms developing in our area right now not related to hermine and amelia has the latest on those. >> exactly, doug. before hermine moves into our area which looks to be later saturday, we still have a few days to get to. here's what we're tracking on storm team 4 radar. widely scattered showers. you can see heavy rainfall with the brighter colors here. it's moving to the south and east. currently, we're talking about temperatures right now around 80 degrees. ou scattered showers, an isolated thunderstorm. we have the bruce spring teen concert, can't rule out rain for that. tomorrow, looking really nice.

over the next 24 hours, landfall to a hurricane, is it's going to mort north of tampa and south of tallahassee. the good news, again, not impacting huge cities, especially right along the coastline because that's when you deal with that storm surge. still expecting six to ten inches of rainfall. back here at home, looking at fog moving through parts of the bay area. san francisco in the north bay, visibility is down to less than a mile in some spots in santa rosa. 65 in san francisco. get rid of the clouds. and really across the bay area to this morning not waking up to lots of cloud kor even across parts of south bay just a few high clouds there. 78 for your afternoon high in the south bay. as we go towards the next 24 hours, fog will be the main story each and every morning. you will notice again the visibility down to one mile in santa rosa. down to four miles in half moon bay. winds will start to pick up as well toward the afternoon hours for today and for tomorrow. and that's going to lead to, again, a nice comfortable breeze because our temperatures aren't going to be too hot. kind of li

that happens south of tallahassee, florida. 100,000 people are still without power this morning. >> this is the first hurricane to hit florida in more than a decade. that was just the beginning. 23 million people along the east coast are now under watches and warnings. we're going to begin our coverage in st. marks, florida. >> reporter: john, you have the storm surge and also high tide. those two things coupled together. they really did bring a significant amount of water into this community here, in to the city of st. marks, florida, which is one of the most closely populated areas to where hermine made landfall overnight. but you look over my shoulder, you can actually see how fast the water has actually receded. about a whole block in the last hour or so. so this is giving people an opportunity to actually go out and see what, if any, damage was left behind. i can tell you after speaking to many s some of the folks here, there is high hopes there is minimal damage. yes, water made it in to some of the homes, but in this part of the panhandle a lot of homes are on stilts or mobile hom
