Thats what Hurricane Irma will do this weekend. The first hurricane warnings are now up for south florida, vai. The storm has weakened to a category 4 at this point. Thats still a major hurricane. And it battered turks and caicos overnight and has cuba and the bahamas in its sites today. Caribbean islands already hit by irma are coming to grips with the depths of construction caused by this storm. On barbuda, irma knocked down nearly every building on that island, leaving the building uninhabitable. Roads and Communication Systems are wrecked and officials there say recovery will likely take years. That is the sound you hear all across the miami area. People are boarding up windows at their homes and businesses, preparing for the worst of irmas wind and rain. The storm is on track to target florida over the weekend. Now heres a look at drivers stuck in traffic jams and long gas lines, as they tried to escape before the hurricane hit. This, by the way, is in ft. Pierce on Floridas Atlantic coast, just about 65 miles north of west palm beach. The rush to leave apparently tloed a shooti led to a shooting at Miami International airport. Police shot a man with a nave who somehow got on to the target at Miami International. The man went to the hospital where he is in stable condition. Our coverage continues of Hurricane Irma at 6 15 with a live report of the travel nightmare facing folks in florida. Then at you have 30, help on the way. Local soldiers are taking what they learned during superstorm sta sandy with them as they travel to florida. Nbc 10 as a team of reporters in florida right now. Nbc 10s tim furlong and telemundo 62 reporter, Christiane Cazares are following the latest as people rush to prepare. Happening today, friends and family will pay their last respects to Jenna Burleigh, the Temple University student who was murdered last week. A funeral mass is scheduled for this evening. Members of her Hometown Community honored her at the viewing yesterday. The crowd was so large, police had to help to control traffic. And at Temple University where burleigh recently transferred, students, faculty, and the universitys president came together for an emotional vigil. In the heart of the campus flowed heartfelt condolences. I just want to let the family know that were deeply saddened. I couldnt believe it, honestly. It didnt seem real, until it was. My heart goes out to the family. The burleigh family, wonderful people. The man accused of killing Jenna Burleigh has a new lawyer. The attorney has not responded to nbc 10s request for a comment. The alleged accomplice in a bucks county killing spree that captivated the country over the summer insists he had nothing to do with the murders. Sky force 10 took this video of sean kratz shortly after his Court Appearance yesterday. Kratz admits being present during three of the four killings. However, he says his cousin, cosmo dinardo, is the murderer. During that hearing yesterday, prosecutors pointed out that kratz never called for help and that the two even went out for cheesesteaks following the murderers. The remains of the four victims were found on the dinardo family farm. Dinardo confessed to the killings in exchange for not getting the Death Penalty in the case. 6 08 right now on this friday. We want to take you down the shore. That is a look at cape may. Yeah. Not down the shore, summers over, vai unofficially. No, with youre looking at the beach there. Its still down the shore. One more weekend. Absolutely gorgeous. Lets check in with erika martin, who has the most accurate forecast for your neighborhood. Thats not a bad argument, at all, especially because we have a really nice weekend in the forecast. Sunrise is at 6 36 a. M. , so prepare, we have lots of sunshine in the works for today, through monday, expecting some rain to get here by late monday. A live look outside, we have a really nice start to the day. Mostly clear skies for today. In center city, well take it and well run with it, because we love conditions are. Philadelphia, temperatures are pretty much in the 50s. There it is, 61 degrees from port richmond. A ive been waiting all morning for that. Bustleton currently at 54 degrees. New jersey seeing lots of low 50s, piney degrees. Vorhees in Washington Township at 51. Sheamong, 50 for you. Pemberton and florence currently at 56 degrees. A chillier start to the day and conditions will be cooler than average. Thats going to be the trend for the next severhinkith all the sunshine, nobodys going to be complaining. So tracking the tropics for the atlantic basin, we have three hurricanes in the works. Jose is thankfully going to stay out to sea. Currently a category 3. Irma, a category 4. Again, things could change, which is why you do want to download the free nbc 10 app for more updates and hurricane cate. And now what can we expect from irma as we get this into motion . It looks like theres just not much impeding her strength. So right now, it is a category 4. Well have to watch to see how it starts to behave as it gets closer to florida. Were expecting landfall, anywhere between saturday night and sunday morning, early sunday morning. So the issue is that we do have a landfall before sunrise on sunday. Thats going to be, of course, very alarming. And the size and the impact, of course, so right now were expecting landfall to be a category 4. But things could change. It very well could make landfall as a category 5. Ill see you in just a bit with your tenday forecast. Meantime, back to you guys. Thank you, erika. Ten minutes past 6 00 a. M. On this friday. School is back in session, so be careful with the kids darting in and out of buses. Stay behind those buses, when the bus is stopped, you need to stop. Good advice, vai. Pamela osborne keeping an eye on everything for us. Well start things off in nenlg. This is route 30 at i295. More cars on the roadways, but no major problems to speak of. The on thing i want to tell you about, if youre just waking up with us this morning, there is a fire at a recycling plant in south philly. Its producing heavy smoke. That smoke is kind of getting in the way, right in the area of the walt whitman bridge. So if youre driving through there, youre going to want to be on the lookout for that. Mass transit, everything is looking good. Everythings on time. All right, thank, pamela osborne. Back to school in the digital age means there is a sea of resources at kids fingertips. Coming up in 15 minutes, we get expert advice on the apps that can help students excel in the classroom. Also, preparing for impact. Straight ahead, well go live to miami where evacuees are facing trouble on land and in the air as they try to escape irmas wrath. A quarter after 6 00 on this friday. While Hurricane Irma pummels the caribbean, florida is bracing for a direct hit. A hurricane warning is in effect already for south florida and the keys. All florida schools, colleges, state offices closed today. Landfall is expected some time tomorrow night. Nbcs Sarah Rosario is live for us in miami where time is running out to evacuate. Sarah, good morning to you and give us the latest from miami. Reporter reportegood morning, vai and rosemary. Yeah, people here in miami are heading the warnings and local officials are trying to make sure that everyone has the resources needed as Hurricane Irma is headed towards this area. Theyve closed all of the schools across the state and theyre also making preparations for the roads. Weve seen hundreds of thousands of people hitting the roads. Traffic is bumper to bumper on both i95 and i75. And weve got more than 1,700 troopers on the roads to make sure that traffic is flowing smoothly. We also have the tolls across the state. Those tolls have been lifted. Just to make sure that people have everything they need to be able to get out of this area without having to pay for any tolls. They can get out as soon as possible. As the storm is headed this way. Airports, a dire need at the airports for people to get out. Flights are very high right now. People cant even get on flights. The airports are shutting down today. Theyll have to find other ways to try to get out of the city. We were told that more than 1,600 flights have been canceled in and out of miami. And if you consider the flights into caribbean, that totals more than 4,000 Flights Canceled because of this monster storm headed to this area. A big concern once the storm hits is going to be the storm surge. Depending on where it hits, it could impact both coasts of the state and that could cause catastrophic damage to this area. All eyes on this storm. Many people deciding to stay. Officials say if you decide to do that and youre in an evacuation zone, First Responders will not be available to help you. Were taking lots of precautions here in south florida. Shelters are open preparing for people to go there as the storm heads this way, rosemary and vai . Sarah rosario reporting for us from miami. Stay safe out there. Boy, its scary. It is. Thats the issue. Obviously, state officials are put in a difficult position, because they want to help people, but they dont want to put their First Responders in harms way, especially if theres other situations that they need to address during the height of the storm. So were going to be watching that. Meteorologist erika martin, of course, is tracking irmas path and what this all means looking forward to the weekend. You know whats interesting is that its now gown graded to a category 4. That doesnt mean thats going to be the case once it makes landfall. It really is the case of tracking it. If you recall, harvey was a category 3 and it eventually made landfall as a category 4. The issue and the reason i say that is because theres nothing thats blocking it from really being destroyed in the atmosphere. Its been able to maintain certain position and thats helped it to maintain its strength and organization. So now usually the Sierra Maestra and cuba will help deteriorate it. Not the case. All really hot water, enough to feed it as it continues to barrel towards florida. Thats really the big problem, guys. Here it is, Hurricane Irma. Its currently a category 4, sustained wind speeds of 155 miles per hour, clearing the bahamas and cuba and making landfall in florida. Where, exactly . We cant say just yet, but models are coming into agreement that it is going to make landfall overnight saturday into sunday, possibly as a category 4, but it very well could make landfall as a category 5. And we have to watch it, of course, because no matter, its still going to make a tremendous impact across florida. Storm surge is the bigger concern as well as plenty of rain and flooding is going to be a huge problem come sunday morning into monday, as well. Sleu satellite and radar image locally,wear seeing clouds develop across our area. But really those clouds are going to be maintaining themselves north and west of philadelphia. More sunshine. South and east of sunshine, still a great day all around. We do have a High Pressure system thats going to bring us a lot of sunshine through this weekend, tracking some rain, possibly making it here late monday into tuesday. But i still left the rain in mainly for tuesday and wednesday. Hourbyhour forecast, starting this at 6 00 a. M. And pausing this at 3 00 p. M. An couple of green spots here, a couple of springs at most. We have a dry day in the forecast for most of the Delaware Valley with the exception of parts of the lehigh valley, looks like you could see a few sprinkles. A great trend in the works. Neighborhood planner, plan for a great friday. 8 00 a. M. , 59 degrees. 69 at noon. 72 at 4 00 p. M. And for the p. A. Suburbs, the lehigh valley, everybody sees temperatures climbing into the 70s. And even though its going to be unseasonably chilly, we normally see 80s in philadelphia. The average high is 81 degrees. I dont think theres going to be a problem with all this sunshine. 6 20 right now on this sunday. A new data breach involves nearly half of all americans. That mane means chances are pr high you could be affected. Coming up next, the latest on the cyber crime and what personal information could be at risk. And also straight ahead, help for parents.

Theres also chkhan academy, whh features practice problems and explanations for almost every subject. And abcya offers spelling games and hundreds of activities, as well. For Elementary School kids and younger, you may want to take a look at bugs and bubbles, vocabulary spelling city, and little writer, which is a tracing app for young kids. Good morning. Pamela osborne in the First Alert Traffic Center this morning for jessica boyington. Youre taking a live look at 95 at academy road. You can see some more cars on the roadway, but not a lot of trouble spots to speak of there so far. I am monitoring some slowdowns in new jersey. Ill get more into that when we come back. But first, erika martin has a look at the weather. Pam, we do have a gorgeous day today, so a great end to the workweek and a great start to the weekend. Were seeing a mix of sun and clouds. Sunrise officially at 6 26 a. M. More nbc 10 news coming up on the other side of the break. Also ahead, stranded in florida. Literally. A local family describes trying to escape the danger zone as Hurricane Irma sets its sights on the sunshine state. And battle on broad street.

Robbers shoot and kill a philadelphia father who complies with their demands. This as his 2yearold daughter watches it all unfold. America exposed. Theres almost a 50 50 chance that your information was stolen in a new cyber attack. And thousand were learning the scope of the breach. We have so much going on on this friday. Good morning. This is nbc 10 news today. Im vai sikahema. And im rosemary connors. Of course, were keeping a very close watch on Hurricane Irma as it continues to barrel through the caribbean and set its sights on florida. Meteorologist erika martin has more on this storms path. Erika, fill us in. Thats right, rosemary and vai. Were tracking Hurricane Irmas path as it continues to move through the atlantic basin. The concern, of course, is that while its a category 4 right now, sustained wind speeds at 155 miles per hour, that very well could change, because the minimum for a hurricane for a category 5 hurricane is 156 miles per hour. So well be updating you on Hurricane Irmas path and strength consistently for the next several hours, until it makes landfall. Were expecting landfall in florida somewhere between saturday into sunday, right now. Models are saying sometime right before sunrise. So, again, this is just something we do have to monitor, because things can change. This is not set in stone. So i want you to be aware of that. Locally, we have a. And for the lehigh valley, we could see a few sprinkles. Thats about it. Heres pam with traffic. Erika, were beginning to see some delays, especially in new jersey. Lets start out with deptford township. There are delays on route 55 northbound as you approach 42. We also know that there are other delays happening in the area of the black horse pike and 42, as well. So thats something to look out for. Lets take a look in the city of camden rate now. This is route 30 at i6767 traffic moving much smoother there. Not backed up, to speak of. I also want to pass along one more alert to you this morning. There was a fire at a recycling plant in south philly. It was showing heavy smoke. That smoke was kind of interfering with eyesight in the area of the walt whitman bridge. So just keep in mind, you may see some smoke, it may be a little difficult to see this morning, as you head out your door. Rosemary . Thanks for that, pam. We continue to follow some breaking news out of mexico. Overnight, a deadly magnitude 8. 2 earthquake struck just off the coast near the state of chipas. Mexico says it is the strongest earthquake to hit the country in a century. According to mexicos president , dozens of aftershocks followed the quake and its possible that an especially strong aftershock could strike in the next 24 hours. At least five people are dead. Evacuations are now underway in many coastal cities. Tsunami waves in the wake of this earthquake could reach 9 or 10 feet high. 6 32 right now. A philadelphia family is shattered this morning after robbers shot and killed a father in front of his 2yearold daughter. The man was ambushed outside his home on melon street in Spring Garden last night. His daughter saw it happen in the backseat of the familys car. Nbc 10s matt delucia is live for us at Police Headquarters with more on the search for the killers. This is just so tragic. Reporter it is, vai. And weve been talking with neighbors in that neighborhood last night who were shocked by this whole thing. And the neighbors told us this man was well known on that block and he and his wife had just given birth to another daughter. Now police were trying to figure out why he was murdered in cold blood. This 38yearold man had just gotten out of his car on the 1500 block of melon street, right by his house there in Spring Garden. This is around 8 00 last night. Well, police know and are telling us about this case is that two men came up to this man, stole his wallet, and then shot him in the face, at least once. And then they ran off. Police got there, they rushed him to hahnemann hospital, but he died a short time later. And right there in the backseat of the parked car was the victims 28yearold daughter and the family dog. The girl is with her mother this morning. She was not injured, but they and others on that block are wondering why. From witnesses, it didnt appear there was any type of struggle. It appears for some unknown reason, they decided to shoot this victim, even though they took his wallet. Now, this is still under investigation. Police say this murder was recorded on surveillance cameras in that neighborhood, so the detectives, of course, are going to be going through that, hoping for some leads. And the two men that police are after this morning, theyre in their late teens or early 20s. Last seen wearing dark shirts or hooded sweatshirts. And if you know anything, call police right away. For now, im live outside of Police Headquarters. Matt delucia, nbc 10 news. Matt, thank you. 6 34 right now. Hurricane irma is roaring through the caribbean, headed towards florida where it could make a direct hit this weekend. Irma is now a category 4 hurricane. Its been downgrade from 5. That could change and it still packs a pretty powerful punch. Winds at 155 miles per hour. The winds were certainly howling on turks and caicos last night. These videos posted on social media show those powerful winds and driving rain hitting resort properties all along the western side of the island. A high storm surge is expected to cause major flooding. Irma has been on a tear through the caribbean for several days, killing at least 12 people. The storm ripped through barbuda first, killing a 2yearold child. Most of the island, as you can see, is uninhabitable. In st. Martin, the storm flattened buildings and left the island with no power, no running water. Raging winds ripped down power lines and trees in puerto rico. A Million People there are without power. And now another major hurricane, jose, is heading in the same direction as irma, right through the caribbean. And in south florida, people are racing to get out of the hurricanes path, but flights out of town are hard to come by at Miami International airport. And leaving by car means waiting in long lines for gas and also traffic jams that are happening there. People are putting up boards and boarding up their homes. Crews have already covered up windows at president donald tru trumps maralago resort in palm beach. And the windows closing for escaping florida, and that has pa people scrambling, afraid of being trapped when the hurricane hits. Dozens of flights have been canceled or delays from south florida. These images has an idea of just how many flights are grounded. Take a look at this sea of suitcases at Miami International. These are passengers bags from flights that have been canceled. Safe to say there are hundreds, if not maybe thousands of them. Some people cant afford to get out of florida, because flight prices have piked. Theres a high demand, its lastminute booking. A washington family tells us their flight was canceled and they only have a hotel room booked until saturday. So they do not have a place to stay when the storm strikes florida. I dont know how to deal with Something Like this. Im in fear. Its like, i dont know where to go. Its like, i dont know what to do. We also are talking to folks who have been able to get out of florida. This guy flew to philadelphia from miami to stay with his parents, away from the panic in the sunshine state. Helping hands from our area are heading to florida. 130 soldiers from the new Jersey Army National guard loaded up equipment yesterday. Yeah, theyre being deployed today to southeast florida and theyre bringing about 40 of these heavyduty highwheel trucks with they will. The unit is also armed with lessons they learned five years ago here at home during hurricane sandy. The one thing we learned from sandy is to be prepared for the unexpected. That may be part of the reason why florida specifically came to new jersey and said, hey, we would like your National Guard to help us. And the guard unit expects to be away for at least two, maybe three weeks, but that will depend on the variety of Hurricane Irma. Nbc 10 is live in cape may, where the unit is scheduled to leave in about an hour from now. These men just getting up their lastminute possessions here. As they pack. Well have more on their Mission Later this morning on nbc so news at 11 00. And you can count on nbc 10 for continuing coverage of the hurricane. Nbc 10 has a team of reporters in florida right now. Nbc 10s philltim furlong and Christian Cazares are following the latest as people rush to prepare. After a nearly threemonth internal investigation, a Philadelphia Police officer will be fired for shooting and killing a suspect as he ran away. Surveillance video shows david jones just moments before the officer shot him in the back. The Police Commissioner tells us officer ryan pownall fired two shots at jones from up to 35 feet away, even though jones posed no threat. Jones is accused of driving his dirt bike erratically. The 30yearold was carrying a gun. Responding officers say he retched for it, however, according to this internal investigation, jones dropped the gun and he was unarmed when he was running away. Investigators found the gun at least 50 feet from where jones was shot. The attorney general is now investigating whether criminal charges should be filed in this case. Lets head now to the lehigh valley, where investigators a te are hoping someone can help in a 36yearold cold case. Crime stoppers is offering a reward for information in the disappearance of ryan kemp. Kemp was last seen eating lunch on ovseptember 18th, 1981. He was 30 years old at the time he vanished. And pennsylvania congressman charlie dent is calling it a career. The congressman released a statement saying he wont seek reelection to an eighth term in the house next year. A moderate republican, dent has been a frequent critic of the Trump Administration and dent says he never intended to serve as long as he has. 6 39 right now on flriday. About 58 degrees outside in the philadelphia area. I think its safe to say, we are were lucky and we should be grateful for the weather weve got. We are, and we dont need to look any further than this picture here, center city. Lets check in with erika martin. Its been a busy morning for you. Youre tracking irma and youre also looking at weather for us this weekend. Thats right. So, vai and rosemary, thats right, were checking the weather for this weekend. And as you both have been mentioning, were very lucky here because were not going to be affected by any type of awful weather. In fact, we have a really nice stretch of weather. I want to mention that we have that report of the earthquake that did affect southern mexico, an 8. 1 on the Richter Scale reported by the usgs. If you follow u us nbcphiladelphia, youll get more updates. Really impressive how active the tropics are, the gulf of mexico. Katia, a category 1. Irma moving through the bahamas, south of the bahamas through cuba right now an category 4 and jose, currently a category 3. I dont see jose being an issue for us, for so many reasons. Its going to head northward first, and that will certainly affect it and weaken it quite a bit. In addition, irma is causing what we say upwelling and its making the waters a lot cooler for any other storm thats right behind it. So for so many reasons, i dont think that jose is going to affect us. But unfortunately, irma is going to make landfall in florida. And right now fst a category 4. Wind speeds are 155 miles per hour. But a category 5, the minimum sustained wind speeds have to be 156 miles per hour. And that could happen as it continues to work its way towards the florida peninsula. Well get this into motion for you. And the timing right now looks like its overnight saturday into sunday. One of the big concerns i had earlier that some of the models were showing is that it was trending just east of florida. So its going to make landfall and go right back out into the water and make landfall again. That could be the case. And if so, we very well could see two landfalls. Possibly a category 2 or a tropical storm. So well be keeping you updated on the possibilities there, with as far as irma is concerned. Again, follow us on social media at nbc philadelphia for more updates. And in skbrjust a bit, ill shou the tenday forecast. Back to you guys. Thank you, erika martin. 6 42 right now. I know summer is not officially over, but school is back in session, which means it is over. And usually, in the summer months, especially fridays are lighter on the roads, as well. I leave about 30 minutes late for work on fridays in the summertime. Because usually people arent in the office and nobodys on the roads. Maybe a different story this friday. Pamela osborne keeping an yay on the roads for us. That was the story for most of the morning, but were kind of reaching that part of day where more people are getting on the roadways. As you said, school is back in session, so things are a little bit more congested. Ill step out of the way and show you. This is our camera on the schuylkill expressway right by city avenue. You can see traffic going into the city. A lot of volume there. It was slowed down just a little bit earlier. We could see some brake lights, but it is moving along.

This comes at the hands of a company that should be protecting your information. Equifax says that the breach exposed the information of 143 million customers. Based on the latest census, thats roughly 44 of the u. S. Population. Now, according to the company, names, addresses, Social Security numbers, birth dates and drivers license numbers all exposed. Hackers also accessed credit card numbers for more than 200,000 people. Yesterday, we spoke with a local cybersecurity expert, who talked about the potential scope of the leaked information.
