And linzie janis joins us now from san juan, and linzie, nearly a Million People without power. Hundreds of thousands without water tonight, and you were saying that authorities told you it could be months before power is restored there . Reporter thats right, david. And heres the reason why. There are hundreds and hundreds of trees like this one downed across this island. This one actually has a power line tangled up in it, david. Linzie janis leading us off tonight. Linzie, our thanks to you, and lets get to the storm track. Chief meteorologist, ginger zee s back at the weather wall in mork. What does it now mean for the u. S. . Reporter it could mean catastrophe, especially for southeast florida. Let me take you through this storm. Hurricane irma still a category 5 over the turks and caicos it will go tonight, and then its friday into saturday where its just south of florida and it goes into the keys early sunday morning. 5 00 a. M. Sunday, places like keilar goe, feeling the ridiculously strong winds. Through the day on sunday into monday, it will keep going north as a strong category 1, and then tropical storms and this cone now involves indiana and ohio. This goes from Jupiter Inlet over west palm beach, and these hurricane watches are for all of south florida, and we stopped the time here at sunday afternoon, and it will have a wind gust of 127, david. Just incredible, and while we have you, ginger, we wanted to show everyone at home the image that drives the real danger here in miami and south florida. We know that miami floods easily. Look at this tonight. If you had a 3foot storm surge, those areas in yellow would be underwater. A storm surge higher than 3 feet, and watch this. The areas in red go completely under, and thats why they are so concerned here in miami tonight, ginger. Authorities are trying to get the warnings out. Reporter water is one of the most powerful things, and this does not take into account high tide. High tide happens just after midnight, and just after noon, that could make the surge from 5 to 10, and make it 8 to 13 easily, david. Bracing here in south florida tonight. Ginger, thank you. The island of barbuda taking a direct hit from Hurricane Irmany ma. More than 90 of the island homes and buildings destroyed and now hurricane jose is now on a path to hit that same island. Moments ago, i spoke with the Prime Minister, now an urgent effort under way to get everyone out. Prime minister, thank you for joining us, and the pictures coming in are just devastating. I know you have had a chance to fly over the island and to visit it in person. Describe what you saw for us. Well, for me, i never contemplated this. The landscapers just decimated. 90 or more of the buildings were damaged. It literally destroyed a country. Mr. Prime minister, i know you described it as though a bomb went off on that island, and we are all watching the track now of hurricane jose, which could get to that island as well. Just incredible that you could be facing two hundrrricanes now. Youre trying to get everybody off the island . Well, we are. Were active, and actions have taken place. We will have the island completely evacuated. Mr. Prime minister, thank you for your time. I know youre very busy, and please make sure the people of your island know they are in our thoughts and prayers. Many thanks. Preparing for their second hurricane there now. Here in florida tonight, more than a Million People have been ordered to evacuate. We have seen the traffic jams going in one direction out of the storm zone all day here. Many gasation stations have run dprie. Abcs gio benitez is right here in south florida tonight. We started crawling. Were stopped right now.

Reporter some in the keys fleeing by free shuttle bus to a miami shelter. Im scared to death. Ive been here 18 years ive never ever dealt with anything like this. Reporter on the only road out of the keys, people abandoning their cars near elevated bridges, hoping to avoid flooding. Many on the road facing fuel shortag shortages.

Thats because so many people have already left. I can tell you this. Were getting out of here first thing in the morning, david. All right. Good news. Stay safe to the team right there. Gio, thank you. A Million People may be trying to get away, but that means millions more will be staying in the storm zone, and as you look across here at miami, you can see so many highrises and the question tonight, can the construction of the windows withstand a category 4 hurricane . We asked abcs tom llamas to take us up into the buildings. How much faster and more powerful will the winds be, the higher you go . Reporter tonight miamis glass towers and the cranes that build them causing concern Hurricane Irma could shatter it all. Those are big targets out there. Again, were going to lose buildings that are going to have to be repaired, but i dont think buildings are going to completely collapse. Reporter 25 cranes are being secured before the storm, those that live near them told to evacuate. Developers and builders abc news spoke with tell us buildings in downtown miami will hold up, but that highrises could sway, some up to 12 inches. I expect to feel some here. We did feel it here during matthew and that was tropical storm. Reporter people in highrises dont have to worry about debris like you down on the ground but up here, 50 stories, with a view like this, you do have to worry about something else. The wind is much more powerful up here. Hurricane researchers tell us on the fiftieth floor a category 4 hurricane winds at 140 Miles Per Hour would be 220 Miles Per Hour that high up. South beach resident andres asion will ride out the storm in his 21 st floor condo. He has storm impact windows and cameras set up to watch the storm apprach. But even he has a plan b. My plan if it gets too crazy ill go into the elevator shaft and its like a fortress.

Tom, people are not going to forget what you just reported. How much stronger those winds will get. Stay away from the windows here in miami. Reports of price gouching. Are people being ripped off as they try to prepare . Reporter in some cases they are. I just got off the phone with the office of attorney general here in florida. Since monday, david, get this. They have received 4,000 complaints of price gouging. Tom llamas with us here in south florida. Tom, thank you. Hurricane irma is causing major disruptions in air travel across the country. Some 4,000 flights have already been canceled, and look at this image tonight. A lot of air traffic to and from florida. You can see it light there. So many trying to get out of the storm zone and tonight there is a new and urgent plea just in from the miami airport for passengers still showing up hoping to find a flight. Abcs amy robach is there. Reporter the rush to get out of the storm zone resulting in nights in airports. I have to spend the night in the airport because all the hotels are if i woulded. Reporter passengers in wheelchairs able to board at west palm beach, but at Miami International airport hundreds showing up without tickets and finding none. The Major Airlines suspending operations by friday evening. Already more than 4,000 flights in irmas path canceled. 12 cruise ships canceling chooses.

In 1992, andrew, in homestead florida with 165 Miles Per Hour winds, and irma is stronger than all of them. Senior meteorologist, rob marciano, in key lar goe tonight on what is making this so dangerous. Reporter irmas first strike giving us a glimpse of its sheer power, an explosion of natures potent mix. The hurricane morphing into a monster because of a rare combination of conditions. High humidity and deep, warm water, above average feed the storm. Theres also a lack of upper level winds that would choke the storm, and irma has avoided large land masses that would break apart the hurricane. It is like going over a giant all you can eat buffet for a hurricane right now. Reporter tonight, the eye 30 miles wide with the clouds swirling around it, 600 miles across. With the inner core equivalent to an ef3 tornado. Most striking, the longevity of irmas power, that record breaking stretch of 185 mph sustained winds for over 36 hours. And rob marciano reporting in from keylarg go, o, and were dealing with a situation here. That is one of three active hurricanes turning tonight . Reporter we have katia in the gulf of mexico, and now jose which is another major hurricane. A category 3 strength likely to impact some of the islands that were devastated by irma.
