Quickly went to make mention we have an area of low pressure that could develop and bring rain along the coast of texas, this is separate from florence, several systems we are watching but the bottom line is we are uncertain. We are uncertain thursday and friday what happens. That cone of uncertainty getting wider. Bottom line North Carolina, South Carolina, georgia. If it stalls this is going to be a prolonged impact along the coast. Remember harvey when it stalls. Rob if it stalls over the ocean it could be good news in the Wind Department because it might lean less powerful winds. Going back to diana a couple decades ago. It stalls, moved southward before making landfall and it weakened to a category one. That would be awesome. However we want people to still keep your eye on the ball. This is a category 4, still a major hurricane. We have to finetune the forecast. Along the coast, carolinas, georgia, virginia, keep watching. Jillian people who live along the North Carolina shoreline are facing an evacuation deadline to escape florences fury. Rob lets get to Griff Jenkins in atlantic beach. We have 24, 36 hours ago people need to be getting out. Reporter that is right. Good morning. Yesterday mandatory evacuations begin. They have to be gone by 8 00 pm today. Tomorrow morning at 7 00 00 am, the bridge will be closed. You cannot get in, cannot get out. People remember Hurricane Hazel ripped the island apart. When janice dean talks about the uncertainty let me talk about why this is so dangerous in this area. Not only Hurricane Winds and category for but storm surge expected to be 9 to 13 feet, guaranteed flooding if you have the rainfall in excess of 25 inches if that does indeed stall, looks like it will, it was two years ago Hurricane Matthew which was a catastrophic flooding event brought that, a little bit him and, 25, 30 miles, entire rivers, the situation where people were underwater 15 or 20 feet and couldnt get out. The mayor here in atlantic beach, richard porter, his message for residents very clear. Get off the island, dont put our First Responders in harms way. Dont put yourself in harms way. Get off the island. Honors a mandatory evacuation and get out. If you do try to stay here and survive the wind, it is likely this story will be one of flooding. We talk to some of the residents who decided to stick around like this gentleman from jacksonville. Chris davis. We were going to evacuate but now we decided to stay it out. Dont want to get trapped in the gridlock. We have generators and all that stuff, coolers, it is about boarding up lastminute windows. Reporter the problem is the storm surge, 150 yards behind me, this area will be underwater. That is guaranteed. A quick note, when you see two or three feet of storm surge at that point it becomes deadly because cars and other large objects move. We saw that in harvey and irma and we will see it here again. Heather we will see it there. Rob South Carolina hwy. Grews working around the clock to clear people from coastal areas amid a new warning the shelters there are not Strong Enough to withstand Hurricane Florences wrath. Jillian many refusing to leave. Todd pyro live in myrtle beach. Are you surprised when you hear people dont want to leave . Reporter yes and no. I think during all sorts of storms you get different opinions from different people in certain people are tougher than others or think they are. I went to show you the road, a lot of people in myrtle beach have evacuated. Not a ton of cars on the road at 5 00 in the morning. I am sure griff sees the same thing in South Carolina. A lot of boardedup buildings, people preparing for what is to come. That said despite the warnings, a lot of people we spoke with say they are going nowhere. Im going to stay at my dads house and see what happens. It is home. This is where i feel comfortable and right now i dont see a reason to leave. We are staying here. We stayed during matthew and had a ball. I think it will go up north further than down here. We will stay right here, we are not scared to leave. Reporter those that heeded the advice alleviate the roads yesterday leading to huge backups on the South Carolina coast. At noon the state reversed direction of many roads allowing all traffic to move out of the area. An area from middle beach is in the crosshairs right now. The sheer size of florence is why. Besides the Hurricane Force winds a lifethreatening storm surge ranging from 2 to 9 feet on the South Carolina coast is a huge concern. With the exact path still uncertain even after the 5 00 am update Officials Say people need to stay on high alert. Information about this storm changes hourly and daily and we will continue to track that and communicate in the Emergency Management centers. Reporter people in charleston have another thing to worry about, the shelters are only able to withstand a category 3 storm. As janice has alluded to this thing could be up to a 5. At this point expected to be a 4 but could reach 5 at some point. They expect to move people from Charleston County to shelters in other counties which are able to withstand a stronger hurricane. Jillian stay safe. I coming, Police Investigating that chilling message posted on twitter.

Donald trump and the first lady attending a ceremony in shanksville, pennsylvania is one of the victims of the September 11th terror attack, 40 john bolton threatening to sanction the International Criminal court after they accused the us of war crimes in afghanistan. Morgan ortegas joins us next with what this means for our country on the global stage. Joe scarborough using 9 11 to take a shot at donald trump. Putting the nbc host on notice. Should i stay or should i go should i stay or should i go own. After all, for all Intents And Purposes the icc is already dead to us. Jillian the icc was created in 2002 but the United States never joined or ratified it. How will this end. Joining us is morgan atretgeus. Weiss is a big deal than people realize . Theoretically the administration did not challenge it. Of the icc were to go against individual members of the military or diplomats, most likely members of the military, for war crimes, if that member of the service was vacationing with their family and a country that is party to the icc we are not then theoretically they could be detained. There are realworld consequences to what the icc is doing. It is not something where we are reeling at the un because of a judgment we dont like. Realworld consequences, bolton was right to cut this off at the head. The icc was founded for countries that dont have full of law. We are a sophisticated rule of law nation with Military Tribunals where we hold people accountable if there are any crimes committed. We have a system in afghanistan for retribution if payments are made to families or any sort of bomb or something that hit civilian life. We have very particular, icc was found for mature rule of law countries so this is incredibly important that the administration is working to head this off right away. Rob people who are angry about this would say the icc is overseeing a Us Government Watchdog Systems that might not be working right in afghanistan. They say that the icc is doing a better job watching things we are not watching. Im vehemently opposed to that line of thinking. We have a military tribunal system, we hold people accountable if they dont follow the Rules Of Engagement in afghanistan or elsewhere. What is truly egregious is the icc should be in some people in the organization recommended this, lets go after the taliban and parts of afghanistan where they committed atrocious war crimes against their own people. This is a joke. Rob it is worse than the alleged the United States is alleged to have done. Doesnt get more brutal than that. Jillian the taliban preparing for peace talks against the us. Donald trump and his ministry into their credit for getting the taliban to the table. How do they do that . A few years ago under the Obama Administration the taliban and was not considered an enemy combatant, hard to believe. Met with of the military could not engage the doing that effec that is the negotiating table. Defense confirmed. Saying that, we are in a position of strength and need to be careful we dont negotiate for the sake of getting a deal and getting out of afghanistan. Negotiating with the taliban and sounds crazy in itself. Thank you so much for coming in this morning, 19 after the hour, Top Democrats blasted for politicizing 9 11.

Stop making 9 11 political, that message from grieving Family Members of victims calling out several Top Democrats for politicizing the tragedy. Why one family felt the need to make that statement. 9 11 was 17 years ago but for a lot of families the rules are very fresh. That was clear at the 9 11 memorial in new york city. One of those comments read the names of 3000 victims, Nicholas Horace Junior his mom died when it went hours, criticizing two prominent democrats, using the victims of 9 11 for political gain and while mentioning them by name, made it clear he didnt appreciate it when nancy pelosi described the 9 11 attacks as an incident in july.

Is this Monster Storm maintain strength it would be the fourth storm to hit the east coast as a category for and that warning hitting home for others. Jillian other storms like hugo are on everybodys mind. Reporter people are looking back at all the storms to hit this Island Community in the past, no stranger to storms, they know a severe one when they see one and most Resident Plans to follow the mandatory evacuations which take effect at 8 00 this morning. The barrier Island Community is used to storms like hannah which struck in 2008 and fran which caused significant damage in 1996. Yesterday we spoke with the mayor who is worried about what will happen longterm. How long it will take to repair the damage, how long it will take to repair the power. Until the power goes back on, Island Communities can become quite isolated. The historic storm people in this community are most comparing florence to as Hurricane Hazel which devastated this town in 1954 and required significant rebuilding. Here is one survivor. Hurricane hazels wave action destroyed those beachfront houses. A foot, two feet of sand. We had sand in our house. Everybody, heading straight for us, pretty much taking it seriously. Reporter mandatory evacuation at 8 00 am, just 21 2 hours from now and this evening officials plan to begin shutting down the towns water system to protect it during the storm and local officials predict power will go out shortly after the winds pick up. Rob thank you so much. People who live in the Evacuation Zone in North Carolina are being urged to listen and leave. Jillian Lieutenant Governor dan forrest, thank you for being here this morning. You know as well as we do whenever we see big storms like this there are always people who decide they are stronger than the storm and decide to stay, dont listen to the warnings, what is your message for them . Same as yours, time to leave. Anyone thinking they can ride this out this may well be the strongest storm that ever hit our coast. It may not be. One of the things we know is you cant predict these things. You always absolutely have to prepare for the worst. Rob talking about this storm potentially stalling out right before the art comes ashore. Somewhere around South Carolina, North Carolina, major storm surge, this could be a big water event. What did several feet of storm surge plus 30 inches of rain leave you within North Carolina . Obviously we have lowlying areas around the coast as most people do but they go far inland as well with water tributaries in North Carolina. We could see distractions far inland from the coast, not just coastal communities if this hurricane sits out and churns for 2 or 3 days as it looks like it may do right off the coast, that could be a devastating water and wind event but we have to remember you mentioned hugo in the start of your segment, hugo hit charleston, South Carolina and did massive destruction in charlotte, 220 miles inland so you could see destruction far inland from the coast. The message for everybody is get prepared. Be ready no matter where you are. One thing we know for sure is forecasters as hard as they try cant predict these things which we saw this storm moved 250 miles north, south and back again over the last week. The inland track, 250 miles as well. You might think im not in the path of the storm today, two days ago the storm could hit anywhere. Jillian are your shelters able to withstand what could be making landfall as a category for . The answer is yes but if you get far enough inland. The trick is if you are leaving the coast, far enough inland those shelters are going to be able to withstand that. We havent had a category 4 like you mentioned with hazel in a long time. It hasnt been since the 50s. We know that regardless whether it is category 4 or not, you have significant damage far inland from the coast. We urge people to get to shelters, get as far away from danger as possible. Make sure people are not driving through water, most problems are caused by people driving through floodwaters and get swept away. We want to make sure that doesnt happen and people are starting to prepare for the cleanup as well and if you want to volunteer, there are organizations, you can fall and tear, you can give and they are standing ready to sweep into North Carolina, South Carolina, virginia, preparing for the need that will exist after the storm. Rob thank you for your time. Jillian the woman who helped kidnap Elizabeth Smart will be released from prison next week.

Kind of silly names, iphone 10s . Will the word plus they always use with max . Despite the marketing hoopla, expect to have phones that are substantially larger and some that go cheaper. But price tag for the higher end phones are expected to go much higher. It now takes the spot away from samsung as the worlds most expensive cell phone. The price of these phones is getting ridiculous. We dont have an exact number on that yet. Reporter we dont. Holding that tight from 10 00 pacific to 1 00 pm eastern. That is when tim cook, ceo, walks to the stage to reveal those ideas and to talk about potentially new ipad pros where the screens are larger but the fourth version of apples watch out of that one, and apple, a much better design on the face and if you own an apple watch the design of the interface will put more real estate in the corners of the watch. We are looking forward to seeing what that means and a refresh of the mac books, an update. The bottom line is apples most interested in coming out with phones that are more affordable and the ones that hit the high end audience where they realize our lives are captured in these phones so much that we are willing to spend the extra money because what apple really want us to do is subscribe to a lot of stuff they are earning a lot of money from, apps, music, video content. Jillian you have been on the phone, you drop it and break it after a week. Rob the company is doing very well. Thank you so much. Dont drop that phone. Jillian eyedrop every phone.
