there's a waffle house just on the other side of this parking lot. it closed at about 6:00 local time. it won't open again until the monk. so that might give you some indication of the conditions here. i also spoke with the fire chief not long ago. he said that emergency crews, first responders, they are no longer responding to calls. they said that they wouldn't do it if winds reached more than 35 miles per hour sustained. d they have reached that level. they say it simply is not safe to go out. >> is and that's one of the problems, obviously, occurring with a hurricane like this. a storm like this. the satellite also often goes down. by the way, what he said about the waffle house is pretty much true. they stay open pretty much through anything. even when i was down in florence, we found a waffle house that was open. florida state and local officials have been pointing out again and again, it is not safe to go out anywhere the storm has hit. there are live wires and debris in many places. damaged and weakened structures. flash flooding and storms.

at a training session he was teaching about the waffle house index. what that is is in disaster areas you would restaurants. if those restaurants were open, we knew that the supply chain was supporting movement of food services and people to be able to keep that restaurant open. in that case, don't bring in all these resources to try to recreate that system. it's already working. support that system. find out what that system needs to continue to operate. it's private enterprise being able to help folks in disaster areas. so if the waffle house was open, you knew the supply system was working and we as government needed to support that. >> all right. mark neveau, we'll let that be the last word tonight. thanks so much as always for your input. we appreciate it. >> you're welcome. >>> fire rips through a warehouse in oakland. the impact the early-morning fire could have on a planned low-income housing project. coming up. way to stay connected. it gives you super fast speeds for all your devices, enhanced coverage, and lets you control your network with

telling sign is actually right over there behind me that dark building in the distance, that's a waffle house and it is closed. it closed about an hour ago. if you've been through hurricanes before, you know that one of the most reliable places to stay open is the waffle house restaurant, so perhaps that is a sign of just how severe this storm is and how seriously they are taking it. we're talking about wind gusts 70, perhaps even 75 miles per hour and sustained winds of 40, maybe 50 miles per hour. that is important to note because i spoke to the fire chief earlier today and he says, look, first responders, they will not be going out responding to calls once winds reach 35 miles per hour sustained. that could be potentially a two-hour window where if you call 911, nobody is going to come and respond. of course we knew that this hurricane was going to hit and hit hard along the coastline but perhaps not as many people expected it to reach this far inland. the schools in this area and albany, they are closed today. they are expected to be closed tomorrow as well. but this area is not evacuated

if it gives you any indication, that building back there is a waffle house and it closed up just at theop of the hour. i was there when the workers were leaving. they said they would reopen in the morning, so that might give you some indication of just how bad they are expecting this to be. we know that wind gusts here could reach 70, maybe 75 miles per hour. that is hurricane strength wind gusts. in terms of sustained, we're talking 40, 50 miles per hour. that's important to know because i spoke to the fire chief earlier -- you can really see the wind whipping through and the rain coming down as well. but the fire chief said first responders will not be going out, wolf, once wind reach 35 miles per hour sustained. so there could be a period, perhaps as long as two hours, where if you call 911 no one is coming to get you. that is dangerous. i asked officials, you know, why not just have everyone evacuate and they say, look, it is pretty simple. in this area there's not very many places you can go that are close to here where you could get out of the affected area. and so it is simply no

we know even waffle houses have closed 30 florida restaurant as hurricane michael approach.you started feeding hurricane first responders and how did you manage to navigate all the blocked roads and fallen trees and downed lines to get to the hard hit areas? >> well, we don't do it alone. we always received very good help from the local authorities, police, the emergency teams. the we -- we are very smart in trying to adapt. so we will have those who make sure that we have tracks with the food that are okay. we want to find kitchens where decan help, to make sure we have a kitchen that's functional. we try to find out how many kitchens are there to make sure we are doing food, but let me tell what you we're doing. what i'm really doing over the last so many hurricanes, north carolina, wilmington, raleigh, all the kitchens that we're able to create is trying to begin learning how we should be using the assets that we have better, quicker, faster so that's what i do believe in terms of food and water. we need this kind of master map where every single agency, nonprofit, fema,

is played a part in mass shooting that for four people were killed at a waffle house. we will do something different with this question. we will give you both time to elaborate on your thoughts on this. first we want to get a show of hands. raise your hand if you are in favor of enhancer the red flag system which identifies people with or who have suspicion of mental health issues as part of background checks for gun buyers? i want to go on the record, both are raising your hand. these are elaborate, governor. gov. bredesen: the school shootings, first of all, are unbelievably difficult for this country. i cannot imagine what is is what -- what it is like to be a parent of the student, let alone a parent whose child was killed or seriously injured in that fashion. i think there are basic things that we can do, including enhancing background checks, pop -- properly funding and ics. in important think would be to to identifynism people from a mental health perspective where they are not suitable for handling and owning weapons. had such a thing been in place, there are t

there is a waffle house on the other side of the parking lot. obviously you can't see it now. it closed at 6:00 tonight. they say they won't open till tomorrow morning. >> you have to batten down the hatches. how far is the eye from you? scott -- all right, i lost it. totally normal, been dealing with it all day. just because the picture looks good doesn't mean he can hear things. let me show you this real quick. we're talking to scott, he's here in albany, georgia. i don't know how to say it right for the people down there. here's the eye. this eye is moving so fast in this direction that it's going to increase just how many people are expose today this. you want to contrast this with what we saw with florence. florence was all up in this area. do you remember this up in the carolinas and down to about here? it never really made it south. it sat here. it sat in this area for the better part of a day. now, what does that mean? that's a soak situation. however, the danger of the soak is replaced here by surge. there is so much storm surge in places that are very low lying. all

walmart started boarding things up even waffle house closed at 2:00 here locally, so we ate before they closed the doors on us. when it comes to energy, we always think about what's in the gulf all the productive assets are really actually west of where the storm is going to hit. even the refiners in mississippi are going to get spared. they still did clear some of the personnel from those rigs, the platforms, so you're going to have some hit to production there and we did see oil prices go up ahead of the storm, which is typical, although now they have extosort of come back groud now let's talk about the crops fruit is mostly in the two-thirds lower part of the state so that will be spared but georgia is going to be hit very hard. only about 12% of the cotton there has been harvested according to the usda. the pecan harvest just started, so if those trees get knocked down from the wind or the water uproots them, that's going to be a major problem. we'll see what happens we've got a couple of hours until the worst of it. we're going to brace and for now get back to you, guys. >> thank y

that's a utility pole that sliced right through a waffle house in calloway, florida.ning me now is democratic senator bill nelson of florida. i just want to start with your reaction to what you're seeing on the ground. we've seen blocks and blocks of homes leveled, businesses destroyed. what are you hearing from your constituents? >> just exactly what you've been reporting. it's devastation and as you go east of panama city, that's where the -- the right side of the hurricane, the most ferocious winds were and mexico beach. i imagine when we finally get into the next town which is port st. joe, i think you're going to find devastation, particularly mexico beach, because there's no barrier island outside of it, so it was getting the full force of the wind and the water. further east port st. joe is a natural harbor with a cape around it, cape sandblast. it would have had some protection, but no doubt it's going to be like not anything we've seen since hurricane andrew in 1992 down south of miami. it's going to be like that over there in those small little populated are

some were able to stay open later, but many started closing earlier than anticipated even the waffle housesed at 2:00 local time here, the one nearby when it comes to crops, luckily two-thirds of the citrus crop in florida is in the lower two-thirds of the state. most of the storm's path will miss that. when you talk about the storm hitting georgia, the cotton crop is at risk only about 12% of it has been harvested as of earlier this week duke energy is forecasting between 100,000 and 200,000 people will lose power they have 17,000 in total power restoration personnel on standby but they can't get in and restore anything until the winds are below 35 miles per hour. the airports are closed from ft. walton beach to tallahassee. the ports are closed in alabama, mississippi, the port in panama city and the port of pensacola unfortunately we're running out of time and this storm is several hours away there's already been flooding in apalachicola it's coming fast and furious >> your best guess in terms of how many people were able to heed these warnings and evacuate given the short notice >> we
