buffalo bill's wild west abroad. many of you know bob riddell from montana state university of bozeman. he wrote a book called "hello -- called " buffalo bill in begonia." where is our marketing panel? we still sold it in the gift shop. people loved that because buffalo bill's name was on the cover there. please join me in welcoming bob riddell. [applause] >> thank you all very much. i will be brief. i also want to add my voice of thanks to all the organizers in the last day today and tomorrow. this is a splendid series of events. the word fun does not get often get used in the context of academics. fun is an appropriate word to use. these are delightful presentations. i'm looking forward to the ones that are upcoming. the personal privilege, 100 years ago, a massive funeral. my grandfather and grandmother were there, along with my mother at age two. somehow, these things come around. let me introduce our first panelist. frank christianson, i think most of you know frank and his work. he is an associate professor of

the one hand to wild west is a check of how the frontier west global. as one feature of a broader phenomenon of america is european americanization. on the other hand, the wild west suggests buffalo bills frontier ism, was to some extent, an actual product of immigration. they accelerated their own process of naturalization, leading to their resettlement of the united states. by 1893 incorporated into rough riders of the world. intra-gold to the drama of americanization as it played out domestically. the wild wests of advance the process of national consolidation by bringing the outside in, even as they sold the story of the wild west to the rest of the world. from the time the exhibition arrived, the media coverage was insatiable. exhibitionw the represented itself across media platforms, including its own marketing materials. placesown account newspaper stories at the center of his narrative. as a way of validating himself and expressing through a local voice, the political subtext of the performance. joe showed us the publication of voice with somebo

if it's bad there, you imagine how sit in key west. key west is where we want to go right now. bill south from the national weather service joins us from key west, via skype. bill, give us a sense, i know you're inside. a heavy fortified building. give us a sense of what it's like outside right now. >> you can hear a lot of trees rattling. the wind is really ripping. we're expecting about 115, 135-mile-an-hour winds through about 9:15 a.m. it looks like at the current radar, the island of big pine key takes the brunt of this eye wall. >> as ginger is reporting. the eye wall is now directly over you in the keys. bill, you are are a meteorologist. you decided to stay. you're in a fortified building that can withstand winds of 220 miles per hour that is made for situations like this. you decided to stay for the protection of others that decided to stick out out. >> yeah. um -- well -- our primary mission is national weather service meteorologists is to protect the lives and property of the american people. we take that seriously. i just like to thank our agency for getting this bu

returning japanese-americans to the west coast. she wrote to president truman to ask him if he could take action and he wrote back to her -- these disgraceful if the senate's -- incidents make me think that americans have a streak of nazism in them. he promised mrs. roosevelt he would take whatever action he could. >> you mentioned that if a part of the prejudice was the rumors that one around. what were some of the other rumors that went around? mr. robinson: there were rumors that farmers were poisoning vegetables. mcpherson was one of the originators of these rumors. they said that japanese-americans should not be able to farm in california because they will poison the soil. there is a story that one of the studio heads painted an arrow on the roof of his studio so that he would not get bombed. there were rumors that japanese-american servants in homes were actually naval officers at this time. there was a whole bevy of this kind of fake news. also, conspiracies that make people nervous. even after these were debunked, the journ

if you come into land as far west as key west now. the eye is now 45 miles wide. take up this much of the keys with 155-mile-per-hour winds on the wall. nothing survives that. and the national weather service in key west is asking anyone, anyone in the keys, anywhere you are in the keys, from the lower keys in key west all the way up through marathon, they hope there is something left here when this is over. and they hope you'll leave before it gets here. let's get up to the beach now. daytona beach, pretty famous spot the east of orlando where is looking hot and muggy. hello, rick leventhal. >> they are expecting rain over the next 3-4 days. things will get progressively worse, from early tomorrow night, late saturday night into sunday when they expect hurricane force winds to arrive here in volusia county. there was no amendatory -- he doesn't think most of the residents are going to observe that. everybody who is still here will likely stay here, so he's encouraging them to shelter in place because they are going to shut the bridge is down the connect the beach

service on key west. will read the majority of this. everyone in the florida keys needs to remain indoors, hunkered down, in an interior room away from windows, and make sure you have proper footwear on, meaning no sandals, no flip-flops. we want people to know -- to use whatever they have to trprotect themselves. use mattresses, blankets, pillows, helmets, whatever. the worst is yet to come. the intense winds associated with the eye wall are expected to arrive around 7:00 a.m. lower keys. he wanted that to go out to as many people as possible. the keys were one of the first places to evacuate. we've got those brave soldiers there in the national weather service. they've already been battered for many hours. as category 4 hurricane irma moves across the florida keys over the next few hours or so, then on its way towards the northwest, maybe in the vicinity of ft. myers, marco island, perhaps not until sarasota, tampa, st. pete. but then look what happens even going into monday. already a good portion of g

even into key west. all the way from key west to tampa, could be still a hurricane cat 1 or cat 2.p into northern or central florida. winds in atlanta probably 60 or 70. crazy storm. back to you, guys. >> all right, chad myers for us in the cnn severe weather center. we just got an update. governor rick scott will be holding an update, a press conference at the top of the hour, on the latest on preparations for this monster storm, hurricane irma. of course, we will bring that to you in just about 20 to 25 minutes. again, governor rick scott updating the state of florida on preparations for this major storm that will make landfall sometime in the early hours of sunday. after the break, we'll talk with the mayor of south miami about what's being done to protect the power plants there. a quick break. special live coverage of hurricane irma continues. what started as a passion to make something original... ...has grown into an enterprise. that's why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. now, i'm earning unlimited 2% cash back on every purchase i make. everything. which ad

the movement to the west at 13. and incidentally, ari, when the storm eventually makes that turn, we're expecting the speed to pick up. the faster the storm moves in, the faster it can move on. it will take a little while unfortunately for everything to really clear. >> thank you very much, we'll be checking back. >> we're just a few feet from the beach. on the other side of the building as you can see there. we came to this station because this is one of the last places that we found in this whole area that had gas. or so we thought. about 20 minutes ago we saw that they had shut down the pumps. we saw a few people that had come in obviously looking for gas. not too many, though. maybe one every 15 minutes driving by and seeing red covers on the gas which means they are out of it. you can see there's no price there anymore. this is something that we thought we were going to be able to get some people getting gas and we were going to be able to gas up ourselves here. but again just a few minutes ago, this gas is goi

he went to the west coast in the middle of 1941. he reported that japanese communities were overwhelmingly loyal and very anxious to prove their american citizenship. still, the president and his advisors were taking no chances and were very ready to believe any kind of rumor. the justice department compiled the abc list with names of people for roundup in case of war. these people were selected not because of any evidence about their personal activities, there wasn't any. simply because the nature of their position. community leaders, buddhist priests, led the government to suspect them of disloyalty. in november of 1941, several weeks before pearl harbor, the attorney general francis announced that the government had finished building concentration camps and was ready to undertake wholesale roundups of japanese aliens and segregate them for a temporary period. let me be clear, i don't think there was any fixed and settled plan by the american government for mass action against all japanese-americans on the west coast that existed

lauderdale key west, st.arwater, the only way to get out is by car and the governor said they need to do it by noon, but back to you. >> by noon, amy robach, thank you very much. >>> coming up on "gma" the evidence of irma's enormous power, how she devastated the caribbean as she now sets her sights on florida. keep it here, much more "gma" after a break. ♪ the best things in life they're free ♪ ♪ stars belong to everyone ♪ ♪ the best things in life they're free ♪ ♪ while other insurance companies just see a truck, we see something you've worked really hard for... so why not give it the protection it deserves. ♪ you wof your daily routine, so why treat your mouth any differently? complete the job with listerine® help prevent plaque, early gum disease, bad breath and kill up to 99.9% of germs. listerine® bring out the bold™ brad. brad, you watchin'? nothing comes before coffee. dude are you mad at me

tropical storm force winds in marathon and key west, and we do expect a landfall around the key westorning around 8 a.m. and potentially another landfall around the naples area later on during the dinner time hour. but look at this track. category four hurricane, 140 mile-per-hour sustained winds making landfall somewhere along the keys, and then another impact sunday around the dinner time hour as a category four hurricane. they have not seen a cat four major hurricane on parts of the west coast of florida in some cases a century, and we are dealing with very low-lying areas, places where a 15-foot storm surge would put houses underwater. so that's why people are urged to, you know, listen to your local authorities. if they tell you to evacuate, you need to do so now because your time is running out. this is on your doorstep. so here's your future radar. again, we're expecting a landfall somewhere around the keys around 8 or 9 a.m. on sunday eastern time and then potentially another landfall around 6, 7 p.m. there's naples, there's fort myers. the worst side of the storm, remember,

west. you're watching special coverage of hurricane irma on this day. the storm roaring past the bahamas and cuba, as it takes aim at florida. once again as a category 5 there. all this while florida braces for what lies ahead to the next 48 hours. tough 48 hours. and survivors in the caribbean are adding up the damage left behind. the number is big. at this hour, hurricane irma is barreling down on cuba as a category 5 storm, with ferocious 160-mile-an-hour winds. the massive storm's path shifted west as it regained some strength, now charting a course expected to churn through the florida keys, before hitting naples, ft. myers and florida's east coast expected to be batters by this storm, the size of texas almost. the big question is how the storm's path through cuba may impact its course and whether the storm will weaken at all before reaching the keys. florida's governor is urging those on the state's west coast to be prepared to head to a local shelter if they do not evacuate by noon l

the one hand to wild west is a check of how the frontier west global. [coughs] there's european americanization -- on the other hand, the wild west suggests buffalo bills frontier is was, to some extent, and the actual product of immigration. ar many europeans -- accelerated their own process of naturalization. international exploits -- 1893 incorporated into rough riders of the world. this was an americanization as it played out. also there was this of the wild west -- of national consolidation i bringing the outside in even as it sold the story of the wild west. it is not the time, the media coverage of the wild west -- was insatiable. -- had itsge coverage itself. there were marketing materials -- jody has been on account for something at the center of his narrative. that's a way of validating himself emotional claims. -- the is good at managing things. his biography references direct includingto the press the international experience within a larger national project. there is a carefully orchestrated staging of programs, the book of wild west -- com

40 miles away from key west. so that's when the devastating and inundation of storm surge comes on in here. so let's take a look at the satellite. you can see that. the eye wall regained and reformed itself here overnight and now waking up to a cat 4 hurricane with the potential of this storm paralleling the west coast of florida for miles. so this is not a good situation here in termsf srm surge. let's head ove to the weather graphics and i'll show you the latest coordinates. this number updated in the last half hour. it's 40 miles to the south and east of key west. the national weather service in key west says between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m., that's when landfall will occur. already we've seen conditions in the keys go downhill. most of the keys, if not all of them, are without power right now. that roar, that really scary almost deafening roar of wind will take place in these outer rain bands. we saw a 94 mile per hour rain gust at smith scholl light. sustained winds around hurricane force now. the conditions are g

some heavy bursts through the night, especially in south—west england and wales, north—west england andh—east seeing some warm sunshine, 20—21 degrees, cooler and fresher further west. low pressure moving off into the north sea as we head into friday. a brief ridge of high pressure before the next weather system comes in off the atlantic. starting friday on a brighter note with some sunshine, especially in central, southern and eastern parts. in the west, downhill with wind and rain pushing in. across northern ireland, then into scotland, england and wales, fairly heavy bursts. fairly warm across east and south—east areas, 19—20 degrees, fresher further west. looking at the caribbean, hurricane maria ploughed through dominica and martinique on monday night into tuesday, causing devastation. the storm is continuing to maintain its strength, ploughing across the british and us virgin islands and puerto rico, it could cause on devastation on wednesday morning as a major category five, and thereafter pushing to the north of hispanola. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north am

sure, there is a northerly component, but it is west worth west. if this continues on a west northwest track, we may barely get a land fall in key west. at some point it will turn north ward. notice the color of red. higher cloud tops. notice how it broadens off this coast. this is getting stronger and the first category five to make land fall in cuba since 1924. now we have got tornado warnings. we've seen quite a few of them. one to the southwest of fort larder dale. we've had one of course in key west. that will continue to be a threat and for the next several days. but for the eye that is barely off the coast right now has a secondary band around it. this may be going through an eye wall replacement cycle which means once that secondary band forms it tightens up and spins. the winds that's sustained, only 5 miles an hour away from category four. i have more confidence it will become a category four. notice a tornado watch. these bands are moving in at four or five hours john, it will start to come down on you. land fall is only considered land

even as the storm has moved west, and begins to move up the west coast of florida. the tide behind me has begun to recede at least a little bit. it stopped rising here, even as storm -- very much the story in downtown miami. some of the streets covered. also here in miami, we have seen that crane collapse. a crane collapsed in a building underconstruction after there were reports of wind gusts of 100 miles an hour up high. i can tell you, i believe that. where i'm standing right now, because i think we've had wind gusts here upwards of 90 miles an hour over the last few hours and, krchad myers told me we ca expect yore few hours of this before it dies down and becomes much more a story on the west coast where chris and anderson are right now. talking more about the storm surge. so many posting photos of downtown miami with the streets looking like streams. our rosa flores is there to give us a sense what things look like. rosa? [ no audio ] >> reporter: is rosa there? all right. so we don't have rosa there. i think we've lost rosa's audio. to be honest, i don't hear

we're seeing it change from due west to west north/west.hat shift which it is going to start to make that trek toward the state of florida. we're getting a little bit of a gim ps of nthat. it's not a sharp turn. one of the concerns is still going to be incredibly strong winds. these are your maximum wind gusts, 138 in key west, tampa looking at 116. the track

we are going west. now that people out west are trying to get away.y, you are going to run into a lot of traffic, depending on the time. day that you are going to be leaving. make sure you gas up. gas is still hard to find in this area as well. we will be searching for some today. keep that in mind. one more time before we let you guys go. you can see this is what it is looking like right now on miami beach. we had a few sprinkles of rain earlier this morning. that has since stopped. we will certainly keep you updated. i will send it back to you guys. todd: we saw lightning over your right shoulder. please be careful while you are out there. abby: thank you, jill i can't believe. >> all morning. abby: video 24 hours ago, the sun was out. barely any wind. amazing how much it can change in just a matter of hours. jillian: you have got that right. pete: have you had trouble finding hotel. it's a situation if you don't have somewhere to go, you are stuck. jillian: right. actually a second ago i heard pretty loud thunder. that's starting in the last hour.

to the west midlands, wales into the north—west of england and beyond., we can see what progress this front has made, it allows the west side of scotla nd made, it allows the west side of scotland and northern ireland to brighten up, similar prospect eventually for a west wales and the south—west and it never really isn't bothered for east anglia and the south—east until later on into the evening. that is how slow—moving this weather front is. it doesn't even complete this journey away from the small hours of friday, only to make room for yet more cloud and wind and rain to move back in as another set of clubs become a bother. further south and east, pleasant, temperatures around 19. as you push that of into the north sea, just in time for the weekend, we have this big area of low pressure and high pressure over the continent tends to keep the frontal systems and be or if they make any progress, they tend to weaken. the weekend is shaping up to be a breezy one, a lot of cloud around also. but not too much in the way of rain. this is bbc news, the headlin

i key west high school. can you imagine 400 people, only for police officers? they had their hands full. repaired where we -- how prepared were we? some of the aircraft flying the missions now flew and harvey. some others were ones that we repositioned after hurricane harvey for the gulf coast to be ready to respond today to hurricane irma and also the , applied onharvey the fly to hurricane irma. so many of the coronation pieces that were involved, for example to the navy or air force aircraft. it is often separated. >> that is a good point. i think the recent news with houston has really people up. i think that helped. a lot of people just say they are concerned about running out of the gas. >> last night we were reconstituting the command center out in west virginia. board.ple were on there were 50 out there. [indiscernible] >> the un security council voted 15-02 impose additional sanctions on north korea monday. 10:00live starting at a.m. on c-span3. >> the un security council unanimously adopted a new r

it's moving west-northwest at nine and will move west-northwesterly as we head into the overnight hours. a little shift to the west compared to boston, and that's maybe some good news for miami but it's very bad news for the west coast of florida. there is more time over the warm water, which is in the 80s, and we expect landfall near the fort myers area, and that will bring wind gusts of 90 miles per hour. those strong winds extend well inland, even places like orlando. it will bring down trees and cause a lot of power outages and rainfall. we're talking 6-12 inch for many spots. and the heavy rain will also extend up into southern georgia and south carolina. perhaps the most serious part of a hurricane that's this large is the storm surge, and that has really escalated in last day or so. a surge of 10-15 feet possible in spotsf southwest florida. that's why the evacuation orders are out, elaine, a dangerous storm it take very seriously. >> quijano: eric, thanks. if folks in miami think they dodged a bullet, they better think again. the city is well within irma's reach, and mark strass

the track shifted significantly further west. the eye wall is now forecast to hit the florida keys, naples, ft. myers and tampa. >> but the entire state of florida is under threat, and right now more than 6 million people in 3 states are under mandatory or voluntary evacuation orders. >> one of the largest evacuations, if not the largest evacuations in american history. "world news tonight" anchor david muir is leading our coverage on the ground all weekend from miami, and "gma's" amy robach is also in miami this morning at the robert morgan senior center shelter. >> our entire team covering every angle across the storm zone. we're going to start here, however, with senior meteorologist rob marciano who is in delray beach with where irma is right now and what we can expect. rob, good morning to you. >> hey, paula, good morning. this is really when it gets real for the u.s. we've seen what irma has done to the caribbean islands anddoorst. already impacting that state and it really has been crushing cuba overnight. take a look what

we're up in naples on the west coast. this has become a new source of concern with this storm, what will happen to the west coast up into tampa, tampa bay uniquely vulnerable to storm. we're going to tell you why throughout this morning. so, again, i want to repeat this for people in florida. the timetable has shifted. things will happen later. we were supposed to get hit this afternoon here in naples. it will now be this evening. but what we expect has stayed the same. it's going to be bad and, in fact, it's bad already. it's going to get worse. bill weir is in key largo. the keys will get first. he has been story telling the rugged individualism of the culture and how they stay behind, and now you can see what he's dealing with with his team. bill, what's the situation? >> reporter: you're right. this string of little coral islands, home to so many d.r.e.a.m.ers and drifters and anglers down here, it's a special breed drawn down to the most tropical neighborhood in the united states but this is the price of admission, t

when east meets west. reni east lancashire meeting the funny reni east lancashire meeting the fu n ny west reni east lancashire meeting the funny west indies. what a marvellous stroke. for the biggest name ever to play in the lancashire league, there was a welcome to match. it was a special time in a home away from home. a story that starts with reticence and racism. they had been fed with the idea that black people are not fed with the idea that black people a re not really fed with the idea that black people are not really people, that they are less and that they are not very bright. and ends with lifelong friendships with antigua and aptly, burnley and barbados. we have been friends for 50 years and every christmas morning we speak to each other. two continents, two cultures. united by one spirit. other. two continents, two cultures. united by one spiriti other. two continents, two cultures. united by one spirit. i can remember every player i played with 57 years ago. it means that they are in my heart.

we're seeing it change from due west to west north/west. we've been waiting for that shift which it is going to start to make that trek toward the state of florida. we're getting a little bit of a gim ps of nthat. it's not a sharp turn. one of the concerns is still going to be incredibly strong winds. these are your maximum wind gusts, 138 in key west, tampa looking at 116. the track still does take it along the west coast but it's likely going to take its first landfall over the florida keys, where that is to be determine preponderance of the evidence we have to the wait to find out how quickly that storm makes the sharp turn to the north to tell where it's going to go. it's likely to go along places like naples, fort myers, into tampa and then move all inward and push into the states like georgia, alabama and tennessee. it will reintensify back to a category 4 storm. look at how warm the water is in this region, upper 80s, that is the perfect fuel for a storm like this to be able to intensify, that's what we expect it to do before it make

across north—west england and north and west scotland, away from these areas, you have a small chance. most areas stay dry. it feels pressure, if you have been outside. highs at 16—20d for most. tonight, overnight, initially clouds break a little, some clear spells but later in the night, thick cloud works into northern ireland, scotland, north and west england and wales. then we see patches of rain in the north and west by the end of the night. in the forecast tomorrow, a cloudy start forecast tomorrow, a cloudy start for north—western areas. a band of rain sweeping in across scotland and northern ireland, reaching north—west england and wales as we had through the afternoon on thursday. in the midlands, a largely dry and bright day with cloud building up through the day. 20 degrees in london, not bad in september sunshine but cooler in glasgow at just 14 degrees september sunshine but cooler in glasgow atjust 14 degrees with strengthening winds. a blustery day on friday, this band of rain moves into southern england. some uncertainty as to how far north or south it will get but in t

the eye was about 25 miles of key west, and where i live is five miles of key west so i think it will hours. the whole house was shaking. it is actually kind of scary, but i know we are safe, it was built for this. our shutters are down, we have fired up the generator to make coffee and we have still got tv. tv and coffey, fantastic. but did you ever think of leaving? there were a lot of calls for people to be evacuated. yes, there was a mandatory evacuation, when they first thought it might be heading this way we were in the middle of the cone, and usually things change, so we thought we would sit and wait and see. we have three dogs and two cats which are not easy to travel with and once they ordered the evacuation of the highways were clogged with cars. it was like, where do you go? especially with the animals, we knew oui’ especially with the animals, we knew our house was pretty strong and we have three generators. my husband is a fisherman so we have a lot of ice in the machine downstairs. wejust have to wait and see. we were good until a couple of days ago and now it is coming

right now, they dare not look beyond the west indies.ly doubled his lead after winning the individual time trial at the vuelta a espana. froome is aiming to complete the tour de france—vuelta double and obliterated the field over the a0 kilometre course today. he now heads his nearest rival vincenzo nibali by one minute and 50 nine seconds and is strong favourite to win the vuelta for the first time. thanks for your company. i'm nick marshall—mccormack — see you soon. bye bye. good morning. hot on the heals of hurricane harvey comes irma, and this has the potential of be a catastrophic hurricane. already a category 5, we have sustained winds of 185mph, potentially gusting to 220mph. you can see quite clearly the eye of the storm, here on the satellite picture. it is notjust the strength of the winds and the volume of the rain, it's also a significant storm surge that's heading towards the leeward isles. the storm surge is where, underneath this area of low pressure, it literally lifts the surface of the sea by as much as 9—1! feet, desce

it's moving to the west at 13. that takes it over land and into cuba for the next 12 to 18 hours, and the hope is that this will weaken the storm in the core, at cuba's expense. the immediate thing you notice is miami is no longer in the cone of uncertainty. west palm beach you're out of it, too. we have eliminated the worst case scenario in miami and ft. lauderdale. it doesn't mean you're not going to get damaging gusts and power outages, but the worst of it has shifted to the west coast. key west and marathon, you're likely dealing with a category 4 or 5 hurricane. catastrophic damage over the keys. then we go throughout the day on sunday. this is also what i don't like. this is 12 hours from here to 12 hours just north of the naples area, right over the top of naples, heading into cape coral and ft. myers at 130-mile-per-hour. it weakens to a lower end category 4 from a stronger category 4. so we're expecting a category 4 landfall into areas that are highly populated. this area is very vulnerable to storm surge.

reporters in key west and major cities along both east and west florida coasts this morning. we'll start with kyung lah in miami beach, getting hit with hurricane force winds. >> i can tell you what i'm seeing and what i'm feeling. even trying to wear a ball cap tied to your head, it's very hard to keep anything secure. we're seeing not just flying ball caps but flying signs. i'm going to step slightly out of the way. you can see for yourself what it looks like out here as these hurricane force gusts come through. we're anticipating it to get much worse. we're just beginning to see this here, jake. what we're hearing from the miami beach fire department and police department is that they are no longer able to make any rescues because of what you're seeing here. the debris is a major problem when it comes to winds like this. what they are concerned about most are the coconuts that might be falling off palm trees treerks branches. when we first got out here a while ago quite a few branches were on the street next to us. they're gone because they've just taken to the air. furthe

this is key west.dle torch key there as well i want to show you exactly where this eye is. this is cudjoe key up to big pine key so somewhere in this area this is where the eye of the storm is right about now, so the outer bands of this storm, the worst of it all is always in this area. big pine key has already gotten that and then you go up toward marathon, duck key, and all the way up to isla marada, plantation and far up to key lar go, all is being battered so just above it the land mass at the bottom of the state is everglades national park. big cry press reserve is down there as well and next you get to everglades city switch over to the other map this is highway 41 alligator alley coming across 75 is alligator alley highway 41 coming through miami through ever grade city up into marco island and the naples area , all of this, the national estuary research center area here, naples, north naples, boni ta springs up into fort myers and cape coral, all of that all of that going to be pounded for many

myers. 135 in key west. which is pretty far inland looking at nearly 75 miles an hour for those peak wind gusts and rainfall. this is going to be the key thing to note. storm surge is huge but you have to keep in mind as that water comes inland you have the water coming down as well. we could be looking at widespread six to ten inches of rain and then some heavier pockets that could be 15 plus inches on top of the storm surge that comes in. so again, the main thing folks, when it starts to come in, don't get out on the roads. don't get in the water because the storm surge alone is enough to trap your car let alone any flash flooding that could incur as well at the same time. >> so many things to think about depending on where you want to get to. allison, i appreciate that. we'll take another quick break and our coverage continues. >> i witnessed hurricane louis, but it was never like this. this one is the worst and the most devastating. done more damage to property than any other storm that we in our lifetim

when east meets west. rainy east lancashire meeting the sunny west indies.lous stroke. for the biggest name ever to play in the lancashire league, it was a welcome to match. it was a special time in a home away from home. a story that starts with reticence and racism. they had been fed with the idea that black people are not really people, that they are lesser and that they are not very bright. and ends with lifelong friendships linking accrington with antigua, burnley and barbados. we've remained friends for 50—odd years and every christmas morning we speak to each other. two continents, two cultures. united by one spirit. i can remember every player i played with 57 years ago. it means that they are in my heart. an unlikely cricketing love affair. but how did it happen and what impact did it have? hidden beneath brooding pennine hills lies the towns and villages of east lancashire. until this year, the lancashire league has been unchanged since 1897. 14 clubs, 20 miles apart. local rivalry runs high and the chance to see the indian and west indian professi

>> we can see on the radar from key west the eye is within 35 to 40 miles to the southeast of key west. these oranges and yell lows you can see, that's the northern eye wall. that's where the 130 mile per hour winds are. those are going to be moving into the lower florida keys in the next hour or two. that can bring damage. that will bring the storm surge to the center where it crosses the keys. you'll see 5 to 10 feet of storm surge inundation. they're not out of the woods to the west because as it goes by, it will push it into the gulf into perhaps key west and parts of the lower keys. it will be a dangerous few hours in the lower keys. >> last night when i was on the air i was talking to somebody who decided to hunker down who felt at least that she was in a pretty strong building, something that was made out of concrete nevertheless, when i asked her if she was scared, she said she was terrified. understandably so. what is that going to sound like? what is that going to feel like if you're in one of the florida keys and decided to stay? >> it's going to be a very, very, very scary
