evacuees shouldn't go home yet. he just said we have never seen a storm like this calling it epic, disastrous and widespread. florence blamed for at least 36 deaths. cnn's nick watt is live in wilmington, north carolina which is basically cut off and turned into an island. give us a sense of where will the president be going after this? what will he see today? >> well, we are not being told exactly where the president is going. perhaps some of the plans are still fluid. lots of roads are still closed here. this is still a fluid situation on the ground. some of the rivers are still cresting. we have been told by the white house that he does want to meet people who have survived and he does want to see some of the worst hit areas. the message we just heard there, he is in a hangar at a marine base up at cherry point. that base was hit hard. the message from the president was very clear.
