cnn's jim spellman is seeing its power firsthand. he's now in the bahamas. we'll try to get jim spellman. we don't have him quite yet because the wind is blowing really, really hard in the bahamas at this moment. let's head into atlanta and check in with jack can jeras. can you tell us the track of the storm? >> we can, carol. we've seen more changes and it bridges it closer to hugging the coast of the united states, potentially from north carolina all the way on up northward. i do want to tell people, this is just in. normally we get this 20 minutes before the top of the hour and it literally just came in. bear with me. the hurricane watches you've been talking about, this is the north carolina coast, from north of surfacy to the north carolina/virginia border. tropical storm watches in addition for that north of modesto beach to surfacy. basically what that means is hurricane conditions are expected in about 48 hours, but tropical storm watch means tropical storm conditions are expected in about 48 hours. the storm did weaken just a smidge yesterday. we're at 115 miles per hour. that's down from 120. but it's still same category 3 and a very, very major threat as it moves through the central bahamas right now. it's been lashing the bahamas. lots of damage being reported in southeastern parts of the islands. let's talk about that track here. this is the latest for you showing you that it could intensify once again throughout the day today and into tomorrow. it's going to stay off the coast of florida. we're talking about 200, 250 miles off the coast, but the tropical storm force winds extend out about 250 miles, so it's going to be brushing the coastal areas at times. we're expecting a lot of high surf today. there are wind advisories in effect even into central parts of florida as irene continues to approach. as we head into saturday, that's where we even going to see it as it heads toward the carolinas. you're going to see these conditions. by saturday morning at the latest, landfall is a possibility here and then moving on up into the northeastern parts of the united states. now, the computer models we were talking that it was shifting east, east, east the last couple of days, guess what, carol, they've shifted off to the west and they're showing more consensus, so we are concerned that this could be scraping all the way up the coast and bringing a lot of damage and a lot of flooding to a whole lot of people. >> man. at least we'll all be sharing in the misery, right? >> there you go. >> we did manage to get jim on the phone. he's in the bahamas. he's in nasa. so jim spellman, what's it like there? >> reporter: hi, carol. i i i'm having trouble out here. high winds. i'd say probably a tropical storm. not hurricane-level winds just yet but still punishing pounding winds. as it passes through -- so far, though, a quick drive through town this morning they haven't seen any major damage. a few trees down, signs blown over, but no structures seem to be majorly damaged that we can see at this point. back to you. >> all right. jim spellman, we'll let you go. we know you probably have to take cover at some point and of course we'll have jim on a little later in the show and we'll continue to get updates from jacqui jeras. in other new this morning there's still no sign of moammar gadhafi. they're hoping a big pile of cash will flush him out of the shadows. they've put a bounty on him, dead or alive. rebels are stille fighting loyalists especially around the airport. cnn's arwa damon is in the thick of things. she told anderson cooper why the airport is such a fierce area. >> reporter: the reason why there's been such, is they believe gadhafi's loyalties are trying to clear a route for gadhafi and his family members to shou escape. the rebels are do not control the areas to the east of the airport. there's two military bases located there. it's populated with gadhafi loyalists. there's a church of highway that runs south of trip will to the airport complex here, anderson. >> the rebels are asking other countries to give libya money that has been frozen in their banks the last couple of months. the united nations might vote on that. did you feel this one? it was a 4.5 magnitude tremor, really just an aftershock. there are not any reports of damage unlike tuesday ice 5.8 earthquake, although that earthquake did crack the top of the washington monument. it's going to be closed for a while as engineers figure out how to fix the cracks. the quake damages three corner spires and flying buttresses. the animals at the national zoo, they knew the quake was coming. keeper says about 15 minutes before the shakers began the apes scrambled up into their lookouts, the flamingos gathered a big pink defensive ball and snakes that normally would have been asleep were slithering around. >> all of these behaviors were atypical given the behaviors that we observe in these animals of this time of day every single day. >> and, by the way, only the pandas had no reaction. they just laid around sleeping is as they normally do. just about two weeks shy of the ten-year anniversary of the 9/11, authorities have identified a set of remains from ground zero. 40-year-old james was an ic consultant who worked in the tower. the new york medical examiner's office says dna testing is being done on over 400 samples of remains. some relatives have met with attorney general eric holder. they asked him to expand a hacking investigation. they want to know if employees of rue put murdock's news corp hacked into their loved ones' cell phones, voice mails or computers. it's led to several arrests and resignations in the uk. john edwards says he needs more time to get ready for his trial. the trial is supported to start in october but edwards says his daughter is getting married that mount plus he needs to get a new attorney to get him up to speed on his case. the former democratic presidential candidate is accused of breaking campaign contribution laws. steve jobs, the matter mooind behind the iphone, ipad and other gats that rocked the world is resigning as ceo of apple. how he broke the news and who stepping up as apple's next chief executive is next. but here is our quote of the day. here's the quote. there are gonna be heads exploding all over washington. find out who said this and why. that's coming your way in 90 seconds.

i know you're getting updates all the time. >> yeah. we did get the watches that were updated just this morning, just at the top of the hour. let's go ahead and show you the maps, spell it out for you. this is for your the carolinas. so for virginia, north carolina state line to surf city is where we have a hurricane watch effect and south to modesto beach is where we have a watch. these are watches. that basically means hurricane or tropical storm conditions are expected within 48 hours so we're talking about saturday morning. that's when we're talking about those winds beginning to pick up and really starting to feel the impact of this storm. hurricane warnings are all in effect across bahamas island chains. it's about 80 miles away from nassau as we speak. this is packing winds of 115 miles per hour. this is a very powerful category 3 storm. we're going to continue to see changes in intensity with this thing. it's likely to get stronger as we move through the bahamas but we will see it wobble back and forth. it's very common for hurricanes to change their intensity from time to time. now, saturday morning, that's when we're going to start to feel the impact through the carolinas. this is going to last the day through sunday as it rides up the eastern coast. look at the cone. don't focus on the skinny line. if it does, i have to tell you that would be one of the worst-case scenarios because that would be two landfalls that we're talking about. that will allow it to stay stronger and bring in coast aal flooding. we ooher expecting a potential for hundreds of thousands of people to be without power. that includes you in new york. make sure you've got what you need for at least three days. >> i've got peanut butter and jelly. i have toilet paper which is always good. >> bottled water. >> i'm keeping my fingers crossed that that thing will turn in the right way. >> let's hope. >> thank you. i hope so. thank you, jacqui. things like this are absolutely mesmerizing but they also give forecasters like jacqui jeras a better idea of how strong the storm is and you can get out of the way. that's why noaa is campaigning against budget cuts. a major weather satellite will die in five years can and if the funding isn't there to replace it, forecasters could lose a crucial tool. we'll keep you posted. libya's leader is wanted dead or alive. they're offering a seven-figure award. let's go to sara sidner. there seems to be activity over your shoulder. i know you can't move from that location right now, but what's your best guess? >> best guess, we know that it's toward the back b al aziziya compound, that's the gadhafi compound. now a large plume of smoke in the area to the south of where we are, which is martyr square. i'm going to let you get a view of the plume of smoke. there's definitely a major fire over there. they were being shot into the compound by gadhafi loyalists and that really made headlines because this is a place where moammar gadhafi had set up his own kingdom if you will, a place where the average citizen could not go. you had to be a very close ally. now his own people are firing into that compound trying to root the rebels out. i just heard a blast comes from that area as well. clearly there are issues over there. we have not been able to make it to the area but we're going to head there in just a bit to find out what's going on and if in fact that's bab al aziziya on fire again. >> there's a bounty on his head. do you think that will help? >> reporter: $1.4 million is a lot of money, but it should be cleefrmt libya always tells us we are not a poor nation. you don't see desperation here. you don't see a starvation here. people seem to be doing okay. although, annoyed with the fact that this is a rich nation and a lot of people don't have a whole lot. but i think that this bounty is another incentive and i think it was an incentive to guess those closest to gadhafi and his are jet stream to defect and say i know where he is, and go for the money if not for a cause. that's one of the reasons that i think the national transitional council has put that in place. but the question at this point is whether or not anyone would do that. what we're hearing from people who are real loyalists, they believe what they were hearing from the gadhafi regime, that it was in complete control or in complete control of the rest of the country and suddenly they're faced with the reality right in their face. they can no longer deny that the gadhafi regime has been broken in this country and i think those that are surrounding him and he himself may be a bit delusional in thinking that somehow they still have control over libya. carol?
