Its 7 00 on the west coast on this labor day monday morning. Thanks for joining us. Im Sheinelle Jones alongside peter exactly lander. Nice to be with you. Savannah and hoda return tomorrow. Craig is in florida covering the hurricane for us today. We have to begin with breaking news. A story still developing now in california. The coast guard dispatched to rescue dozens of passengers after the boat they were on suddenly caught fire. This is happening off Santa Cruz Island south of Santa Barbara. Blaine alexander joins us with a live report. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you. Unfortunately we can confirm multiple people died as a result of the fire. This is very much an active rescue scene. You see the first images of the flames. Coast guard officials are working to get people off safely. There were 39 people on board. We understand of those five crew members made it to safety. They were able to be rescued, one with minor injuries. This hour there are 34 people unaccounted for. Again, we are learning more the location was near Santa Cruz Island off the coast of Santa Barbara. As we get our first images seen the rescue are, were xnding this boat was a 75foot boat, the type of boat thats typically used for diving, though its not exactly clear if it was being used for those purposes this morning. The first tweets came in just before 5 00 a. M. , or 8 00 a. M. Local time there in new york, and we understand that they were alerts from the coast guard saying that they were dispatching multiple assets out there to try and get people off of the boat thats been fully engulfed in flames. President trump is retweeting local reports about this, but of course everybody watching this active scene and to find out just how this rescue is going to carry out throughout the rest of the day. Carry out throughout the rest of the day. So many questions there. Thank you. Another breaking story is Hurricane Dorian. Its still churning over the bahamas this morning. It rehains a category five. The strongest hurricane to ever make landfall there. Mandatory evacuations have been ordered for florida, georgia, and the entire South Carolina coast. Our team has spread out to bring you the latest. We start in studio 1a with al. Whats it look like now . This is a study in frustration. It is not moving. In the last five hours this has been what weve got from the National Hurricane center. 115 miles east of west palm beach, 165 Miles Per Hour winds. You could walk faster than the storm moving west at 1 Miles Per Hour. If you look at the radars there. Melbourne to west palm beach. We even have Tropical Storm watches inland including orlando, a number of theme parks will close this afternoon. We are tracking dorian. It slowly makes its way parallel along the coast tomorrow. Still with 140 Miles Per Hour winds as a category four. By wednesday it is parallel to Cape Canaveral and continues its way up the coast towards the carolinas and Cape Hatteras by friday morning. A category two storm. Then to the north atlantic. Heres the problem. With no steering mechanisms out there, High Pressure is in control. We are looking at the diameter of the winds. Look at it. Its only ten miles offshore from the hurricaneforce winds. The eye of the storm is about 40 miles offshore. Any kind of wobble east or west will determine how far in the strong winds get. Heres what we look at as far as the effects. Damaging winds, Power Outages possible, downed and uprooted trees stretching from jacksonville down to west palm beach. Again, if the system moves further west, that could move inland as well. The storm surge is where you have your most loss of life. Four to seven feet from Daytona Beach to west palm beach. At high tides it will be worse. Thats the wall of water four to seven feet on top of a high tide. Flooding rains. We are talking about upwards of 15 inches of rain or more from melbourne all the way to Cape Hatteras. Guys, again this is a storm that has no steering currents and so wobbles will happen. I know its frustrating for people saying why cant we get a track on this . Thats because there is nothing steering this. It is at natures capricious whims where it goes. Staring at the unknown. Thank you, al. Dorian is still hitting the bahamas with record fury. The damage described by officials there as catastrophic. Nbcs Morgan Chesky joins us from nassau. Good morning. Reporter good morning. We are now feeling the outer bands of dorian bringing high winds and heavy rains. I can tell you it is simply nothing to compare for what happened about 90 miles to the north of us at abaco island, the first place to take direct landfall from dorian. People were forced to weather out more than 200 Miles Per Hour winds and pray they could survive. Some people posting to social media to please come help rescue them.

Reporter after three years of backtoback storms, 2015s joaquin, 2016s matthew, and 2017s irma, homes are required to be built to withstand category four winds of 150 miles an hour. Still less than the terrifying strength of dorian. Which is why the first glimpses of dorians aftermath brings the biggest concern of all. Loss of life. No doubt about it, we are frightened to death about the potential consequences of such a severe storm. Reporter now, too late to evacuate, residents are hunkering down, either in shelters you know, youre never really ready for a hurricane. Reporter or at home. Holy father, rescue us in the name of jesus. Reporter wherever they can seek shelter from dorians devastating wrath. The main concern this morning, helping the people in need.

When it stalls, you know, the track, where it is going to go next, is probably what were concerned about. Hurricane watches and warnings, surge watches and warnings, pretty much the entire coast of florida. Youre running out of time now if you havent made preparations you need to heed the advice of your local and state Emergency Managers you need to take action now. If youre at risk, if you were given mandatory evacuation orders, you should not try to tough it out you should get out weve been through this before, where so many people try to tough it out. Do you get the sense in this case that people are heeding the warnings this time around . Well, i hope so this has been a Long Duration storm. Everyone has been on pins and needles to see what happens. You can look to what happened overnight in the bahamas devastating impact the eyewall does not have to come ashore to have that kind of impact on florida. Again, get tuned into your local and state Emergency Managers if theyre telling you to evacuate, you should heed their advice you need to keep yourself and your family safe.
