So we dont know how bad the damage could reporter the winds arent just violent, but theyre blowing in every direction. In these conditions, its difficult to stand. The gusts feel like theyre upwards of a hundred miles an hour. After blasting south florida and battering the caribbean, with hundreds dead, most of the victims in haiti, matthew, now a category 2, is sweeping its way towards georgia and the carolinas. With waves like these, crashing into homes. Urgently requesting food, water, and generators from fema. At least 4,500 flights have been canceled.

And weve got flood warnings and flood watches stretching from norfolk all the way down to 15 inches of rain possible, some areas may pick up even more, but lester, i cannot stress enough, even if this does start to weaken, it can still do a lot of damage and the most damage and death happens with that storm surge. Lester . Al, thank you very much. Well have a lot more on this storm in just a moment. But we want to move quickly to breaking news about donald trump. A decadeold audio tape surfacing late today in which trump is heard making crude and vulgar comments about women, including some of the language youre about to hear may be offensive. Nbcs katy tur has the tape. Reporter the conversation was recorded on a hot microphone in 2005 in an access hollywood bot. While donald trump was headed to tape a cameo on days of our lives. No problem at all, mr. Trump, you can go right in. I moved on her, in palm beach. I moved on her and i failed, ill admit it. Reporter trump, then eight months into his marriage with his was telling billy bush and others how he tried to seduce a married woman. No, no nancy. And i moved on her very heavily. I took her out furniture shopping. I said, ill show you where they have some nice furniture. I moved on her like a [ bleep ]. I couldnt get there. And sthee was married. Then i see her, shes got the big phony [ bleep ]. Shes totally changed her looks. Reporter moments later trump appears to notice an actress from i got to use some tic tacs in case i start kissing her. Im automatically attracted to beautiful i just start kissing them like a magnet. And when youre a star they let you do it. You can do anything. You can do what you want. Grab them by the [ bleep ]. Reporter trump saying it was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course, not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended. The tape trump is struggling to connect with female voters. A weakness that the Clinton Campaign is trying to exploit with his own words. Id look her right in that fat, ugly face of hers. Shes a slob. I think a lot of it is going to matter how he handle its in the debate this sunday. Thats going to be the next big opportunity for him to address this. Hes going to have to apologize in a more forceful way than he did yet today. This could not come at a worse time for trump. The debate is this weekend. Until the election and now republicans are forced to distance themselves yet again. Meanwhile, the Clinton Campaign is reacting late tonight, calling trumps 2005 comments horrific and adding, quote, we cannot allow this man to become president. Lester . All right, katy tur, thank you. Lets turn back to the danger still developing in florida and the southeast. When a hurricane strikes, the leading cause of death is not the wind, flying debris, or collapsing buildi thats increasingly a concern as the storm surge from matthew rushes ashore in areas including jacksonville, where we find our kerry sanders. Reporter this is what storm surge looks like. Its a fastmoving, fastrising flash flood, with the power of the Atlantic Ocean behind it. The storm surge happens when Hurricane Force winds push the seawater all in one direction. That water keeps seabed along floridas east coast gets shallow, with nowhere to go but up, the storm surge grows, eventually crashing onshore, creating a flood. Sometimes it all happens within a matter of minutes. It doesnt come in, in a gentle fashion. Were talking about huge waves. Reporter in addition to the familiar map with the cone showing the hurricanes predicted path, the National Hurricane center has posted this storm surge m and a government super computer to provide this map so everyone can understand. Blue is one foot, red is greater than nine feet. Now stubborn residents, reluctant to evacuate, can have the data on their phones. Storm surge is driven by the power of a hurricane, which researchers at this lab at the university of miami, believe is connected to tiny droplets of water, flying off waves at the edge of the eyewall. Scientists will be watching matthew closely, because they believe those billions get sucked up into the hurricane, fueling the hurricanes strength. While matthews winds have not been as strong as predicted, its storm surge remains a great threat. All of the debris weve seen here on Jacksonville Beach, including these pipes, a result of nothing more than that surge. Lester . Kerry sanders tonight. As we said, the danger continues as the storm moves up the seaboard. We get the latest from nbcs rehema ellis on the ground for us this evening in savannah, georgia. Reporter the morning calm led to an afternoon downpour. Along the georgia coastline, people boarded up, packed up, and headed to higher ground.

Reporter many followed the advice of savannahs mayor, who says he wont risk the lives of first responders. If its at the height of the storm, we wont send out somebody and take a chance on them because you didnt heed the warning. Reporter as the storm barrels towards georgia ten inches of rain is forecast to hit the coastal area, leading to a bigger concern about a massive storm surge that could come along wi that could potentially be devastating for homes and businesses in lowlying areas. Fire department. Reporter in South Carolina, firefighters went door to door, urging people to leave and taking account of those who decided to stay. They just came and asked how many people were in the house and for my name and phone number. Reporter danisha garrett, expecting her third child is overdue and voluntarily evacuated, taking the im calm, because i know that by me stressing out, its going to stress my baby out, and thats something i dont want to do. Reporter she says the baby is a boy and theyre naming him matthew. Back here in savannah, the curfew is now in effect until sunrise tomorrow. Thats after the expected storm surge pounds this area overnight. Lester . Rehema ellis tonight.

For the first time, the Obama Administration is publicly wrapeling russia for recent hack attacks on american political targets, saying theyre trying to influence the election. And the u. S. Says its happening with approval of the highest levels of the russian government. Late details from our justice correspondent pete williams. Reporter barely two and a half months after a cyber attack was revealed on the Democratic National committee, the Obama Administration laid the blame at the feet of russias vladimir putin, with a strongly worded Statement Issued just as president obama cast an early vote in chicago. The department of Homeland Security and the director of National Intelligence say the attacks are intended to interfere with the u. S. Election process and that, quote, only russias senior most officials could have authorized these activities. Now the russians know that we will confront them on this and i think it will be even more powerful if we start to act in concert with other reporter among the russian attacks, hacks into emails of a white house contractor that disclosed Michelle Obamas passport and emails from former secretary of state colin powell, all bearing the digital profile of russian attacks in the election in the ukraine and europe. Though it says most of those attacks came from computers operated by a russian company. I think naming of russia as the source of these attacks is really just the start of the story. It begins to justify other actions which are to come. The russian government tonight calls the u. S. Statement nonsense and says it doesnt blame the white house or the cia every time a hack against putin comes from the u. S. Pete williams, nbc news, washington.
