This is the cbs evening news. Glor good evening. Im jeff glor at the Coast Guard Air station clearwater along with Anthony Mason in new york. The sun returned here today and revealed the devastation left by irma. The oncepowerful hurricane downgraded to a Tropical Storm has moved north into georgia. Irmas blamed for at least two deaths there and five in florida. Estimates of the florida damage covered by insurance range from 20 to 40 billion. Nearly seven million homes and businesses have no electricity. The white house says it could take weeks before its all restored. One of the hardesthit areas is the florida keys. That chain of lowlying islands off the southern tip of this state, and Elaine Quijano is in key largo tonight. Elaine . Reporter well, jeff, the humanitarian crisis grows more urgent every hour. According to officials, in parts of key largo, where we are right now and where you can see some of that damage, and in parts south of key largo, there is no power, no running water, and no working sewer system. The keys took the most direct hit from irma, and today we saw some of that firsthand. The first aerial view of devastation, the splintered homes and windtossed boats were only matched by the scene on the ground. In the lower key areas just ten miles east of irmas landfall, the brute force of 130mph winds and nearly 15 feet of surge easily destroyed Oceanside Homes in marathon and in big pine key. Some, like these two, were still smoldering from a fire that burned them to the ground. Residents like mike, a marine reserve, who was helping houston recover from harveys floods, came back to find this. Ive got the walls up. We can always rebuild it. But, hey, you live by the ocean, you have to take the chances. Reporter the National Guard is conducting a doortodoor search for survivors in the hardesthit areas. Residents who left are blocked from returning, and a duskto dawn curfew is in effect. Relief missions are also organizing disaster mortuary teams, tasked to identify any possible victims. Road crews went mile by mile trying to evaluate the roads and bridges. So far half of the 42 bridges have been deemed safe, but the department of defense warned with no power or water, the 10,000 people who stayed may be forced to evacuate. Those who stayed, like ira concrete, ventured out to find loved ones. When we were walking out, a neighbor about a block up, he survived, because we talked to him on the way out. Reporter governor rick scott, who took in aerial view of the damage, says recovery is a long way away. My heart goes out to the people in the keys. Theres devastation. I just hope everybody survived. Its horrible what we saw. Reporter the u. S. S. Lincoln is now sitting off the coast of the u. S. , and two more Navy Carriers are on the way. They will be bringing in relief supplies to those hardhit areas where they are so desperately needed. Jeff . Glor elaine, thank you very much. Jacksonville is seeing its worst flooding in nearly a century. Jericka duncan is there tonight. Reporter Downtown Jacksonville normally looks like this, but today it was transformed into this. Park monuments have been swallowed by floodwaters because of recordbreaking storm surge barreling in from st. Johns river. Its about 3 00 in the afternoon, and it is still very windy. Most of the city is without power. You can hear security alarms going off, and many of these businesses behind me, hotels, surrounded by water. Officials say the situation here is not going to get any better. Its actually going to get worse because of high tide. We are in rescue mode right now. Reporter mayor lenny curry says people most at risk were told to leave wednesday. Maam, are you okay . Reporter more than 100 people were rescued from their homes today within two blocks. In st. Johns county southeast of jacksonville, several properties could not withstand the over 80mph wind gusts that toppled over this beach house. Downed trees and power lines are also putting people like donna mount in danger. When did this tree fall down . Probably around 3 30 this morning we heard a bang. And i opened the back door. I thought, oh, my gosh. It was just right on our deck here. Reporter now the water where we are standing has receded over the last few hours, but officials warn they expect the floodwaters to rise and to fall gradually over the next several days. Jeff . Glor Jericka Duncan in jacksonville, thank you. Tonight bands of heavy rain from irma are lashing georgia and south carolina, which was also hit by a strong storm surge. The ocean tide reached nearly ten feet, nearly the highest on record. Downtown charleston was flooded. The water was hipdeep in spots. More flooding could be on the way overnight during high tide. On floridas gulf coast, naples took a real hard hit, according to mayor bill barnett, but not as hard as was feared. Heres jonathan vigliotti. Reporter Hurricane Irma turned naples into a sea of destruction, plunging neighborhoods like this underwater after dropping nearly a foot of rain. Some areas were flooded by six feet of storm surge, but far less than the 12 to 18 feet predicted. The winds gusting to more than 140mph were so punishing this gas station was twisted into a pile of metal. Bob utters neighborhood took a beating. We were quite amazed at all the major trees that are down, and weve been through a couple hurricanes before, but nothing like this experience. Reporter almost all of Collier Countys 300,000 residents are without power. Downed trees and power lines barricaded streets and posed a threat to homeowners anxious to see whats left. On marco island, the cleanup has begun, but the lack of electricity and water is slowing the process. Further east, the Farming Community of immokalee, americas tomato capital, has turned into a flood zone. Many residents here like debra strada are migrant farmers feel they are on their own. Nobody is out here trying to help, water, anything. Nobody is out here trying to help. Reporter and most of Collier County has dried out, but just north here in bonita springs, thats a totally different case. This is one of many neighborhoods buried under several feet of water, and blocked off by downed trees. Jeff, it could take several days for this water to recede. Glor jonathan in bonita springs, jonathan vigliotti. Thank you. Irma affected every part of florida. That includes miami nearly 100 miles from where the eye made landfall. Mark strassmann is there. [chainsaw running] reporter across miami, irmas power twisted street after street into debris field, a landscape of mangled trees and downed power lines. The storms 100mph gusts battered miami. Dozens of boats sank, washed ashore, or are missing. Up to five feet of storm surge pushed onto brickell avenue, a downtown boulevard of highrise condos and banks. Brickell today was drained but still a mess. Almost 900,000 miamidade homes and businesses were without power. Irma was not a direct hit here, but its glancing blow packed a wallop. Matteo patris cleaned up the news cafe. He manages this restaurant, a south beach landmark. It could have been way more worse than what we have today. Were very lucky. We were concerned about what it was going to be. We really didnt know what to expect. Reporter ed hudak is the police chief in coral gables. In this city, famed for its mediterranean revivalstyle architecture, 85 of homes and businesses here have no power. This is a shot of old cutler road here on friday before irma hit. This is that same stormtossed road today. Chief hudak says that storm has passed but not the danger. Our biggest concern now is the recovery, and i dont think a lot of people realize that more people get injured after the storm when theyre getting their houses back together, when the power starts coming back on. Reporter this is a marina in coconut grove. Take a look from above. There are boats scattered all over in places they dont belong. Its a reminder of the number of punches irma threw at south florida. Jeff . Glor mark strassmann, thank you very much. As the coast guard here responds to calls, scores of water rescues were made across florida. Adriana diaz reports from orla vista outside orlando. Thank you. Thank you, you guys. Reporter before sunrise people atop rescue trucks thanked those who carried them to safety out of the floodwaters. Barefoot children in blankets escaped waistdeep water with their only belongings in plastic bags. This puppy was found caged and alone in a house filling with water. Carlan gillens cheered at the sight of First Responders at his door. A fire and rescue team tried to convince his parents to leave. Its not safe the stay here. We can take you guys to a shelter. Reporter the answer was no. So crews marked the house as having three people still inside. I left because i know we needed food. I know we needed lights. It started getting hot in there. I was hoping i could convince my mother and them the leave once i left. Reporter he tried again by phone. People say once the electricity comes back on, its going to be a hazard. Reporter afterward, we checked in on carlans mother. Do you think he jumped ship . Yes, he did, but thats okay. He was in panic mode. He needed to leave. Reporter inside, family photos fell above floodwater, but inside Annie Hemingway said she still felt more comfortable at home. Ive been here all my life. But this is the worst. Reporter the abandoned puppy had a home coming. The owner said he left dog with family members. 149 people were rescued here in orange county. To give you a sense of the damage, our crew was sitting under this structure yesterday when we were reporting live here, and look at it now. Jeff . Glor adriana diaz, thank you very much. As a coast guard chopper here returns from a rescue mission in clearwater, weve been seeing them go in and out all day long. The best perspective on irmas wrath remains from above, and today our cbs news team surveyed the damage across Central Florida as these rescues continue. Off the coast of sarasota, as irma began to churn in, the coast guard made this dramatic rescue in rough seas. Two people and their dog lifted to safety. Going for a wild ride now. Glor this morning in orlando, another view from the air, a scene reminiscent of houston after harvey, neighborhoods flooded, buildings hit. Irma overturned cars and left homes underwater. This afternoon we went up over plant city. Right now we are passing through east of tampa, where irmas eye came through as it went south to north. Were not seeing a lot of trees down, but many of these fields are just inundated with floodwaters. In clearwater, where we took off from, we also spoke with pilot george mensi at the largest and busiest coast guard station in the lower 48. You work katrina, you worked deepwater horizon, and you worked rita. Its a busy place. Glor hes now ready to perform rescues in his home state. From what weve seen, were somewhat lucky with what could have happened and what did happen. Glor coming up next on the cbs evening news, what steve bannon calls the biggest political mistake of modern times. Political mistake of modern times. Patrick woke up with back pain.

Mason now to the political mason now to the political thunder we heard last night when former trump adviser steve bannon appeared on 60 minutes. We asked Julianna Goldman and chief Congressional Correspondent nancy cordes to join us. Julianna, lets listen in to a portion of the interview thats playing online at 60 minutes overtime about the president firing f. B. I. Director james comey. Reporter someone said to me that you described the firing of james comey as the biggest mistake in political history. That probably be too bombastic for even me, but maybe modern political history. Mason thats a pretty stunning admission by the former white house chief strategist. Reporter thats right. Its a damning admission. The biggest political mistake is something that could end a presidency. So at the very least hes saying the russia investigation is going to be a cloud that hangs over this white house indefinitely. One other thing that steve bannon said in this, yes, on the one hand he said that the russia investigation is a whole bunch of nothing, but he also noted the of muellers investigation, so that begs the question of what does steve bannon know that mueller could uncover. Mason now lets listen to steve bannon last night talking about white house economic adviser gary cohn, who was critical of the president s initial response to the racist violence in charlottesville, virginia. If youre going to break with him, resign. The stuff liked out by certain members of the white house, its unacceptable. If you find it unacceptable, resign. Reporter who are you talking about . Gary cohn and some other people. If you dont like what hes doing and you dont agree with it, you have an obligation the resign. Reporter a quick reminder here, after the president s response to charlottesville, gary cohn, who is jewish, was under enormous pressure to speak out or even resign, but sources say that he is committed to staying at this white house at least through the initial phases of tax reform. Mason nancy cordes, now heres steve bannon on some of the folks you cover on capitol hill. The republican establishment is trying to nullify the 2016 election, thats a brutal fact we have to face. Reporter the republican establishment . The republican establishment. Reporter wants to nullify the 2016 election . Trying to nullify the 2016 election. Reporter who . I think Mitch Mcconnell and to a degree paul ryan. They do not want Donald Trumps populist, economic, and nationalist agenda to be implemented. Its very obvious. Mason what was the reaction to that on the hill, nancy . Reporter well, there was some disgust, frankly, from republicans who say, here was a guy who was a lightning rod when he was in the office who has not been shy about breaking with the president about certain issues, and yet he seems to deem every other republican insufficiently loyal to the president when they do the same. Beyond his criticism, however, what really rankles those republicans is the fact that he reiterated in that interview that he plans to work to unseat several Senate Republican incumbents from arizona, from nevada, from alabama, perhaps others. Thats going to force the g. O. P. To spend more money protecting those incumbents, and as one top g. O. P. Aide put it to me today, anthony, every dollar that bannon puts into one of those primaries is a dollar hes saving the democrats. Mason bannon showed a lot of bravado in this, using his words, bombast in this interview, but three weeks after leaving the white house does he have influence . Reporter sure because in some ways he has more influence. Hes back atop breitbart, who has millions of viewers, all of whom could be donors. And he has very Close Friends who are wealthy and would think nothing of spending millions on political primaries. Mason nancy cordes at the capitol, Julianna Goldman at the white house, thank you both. Up next, the children of 9 11 16 years later. Julianna goldman, thank you both. Julianna goldman, thank you up next, the children of 9 11 16 years later. Ngon okay, so lets. Stop.
