Is pretty good evidence of what damage the storm left behind. Trees are down everywhere and look at the shear force of the winds to take down a tree of this size and to toss metal off of signs, from street signs all over the place. Despite was see here on the ground behind me people i talked to today say they know it could have been so much worse. We sat on our patio and watched the whole storm. Reporter marilyn is one of many whose nerves may take some time to recover. Nerve rattling. It was so i was so tense when it was all over that i couldnt even lay down. Reporter against the advice of local authorities, marilyn rode irma out with her family inside their naples home. It was so intense. Parts of it were so scary we werent even sure but we all just stayed at home. Reporter blake and his family evacuated their low lying house to seek shelter at a nearby friends home. It was the worst storm that weve stayed for. We were here for andrew in 92 and we were here for charlie in 2004. Reporter and thats saying something but today cone and others rattled nerves have given way to relief. Much of the damage here is limited to trees. Many of which now crisscross the roads a few of which found a more destructive place to land. This is a ban ion tree. Some have stood for centuries. This one clearly did not survive irma and as a result neither did this building. Power is another problem. Naples in southwest florida are today without any electricity. Florida power and light says the process to restore it may be the longest in u. S. History possibly requiring a rebuilding of the grid from scratch. And though most houses here wont require rebuilding, the roofs on many of them l will. That back there is the balcony from which we broadcast during Hurricane Irma yesterday. Lets go ahead and turn around. This is the roof that gave us so much concern as we watched it peel away when irmas winds were really whipping. What were being told now is that the units directly below us on the second floor of this building are being inundated with water from when the storm was coming through and from the ponds that have puddled on this roof and you can see the destruction. So, its wind that damaged that particular roof but its trees like this that have done damage to most other houses we saw but i want to reiterate that damage to houses is actually rather minor compared to what we expected. When i was driving around on this side of u. S. 41 closer to the gulf of mexico earlier today there are some streets that are not passable, not navigatable because of trees like this that are down. Other issues were dealing with right now not a lot of cell service. We had to drive around quite some time before we were able to get enough cell strength to go live and almost missed being live with you. Theyre dealing with no water in addition to no power. The main water lines into naples, florida, broke so there is no Running Water in the city right now so obviously its going to take some time to get them back on line. Powerwise water is another question we dont yet know when that will come back online. Folks here are being told whatever is in their tanks boil that before they drink it. Quite a long road ahead for the people in naples. Live in naples brian taff channel6 action news and rick. Brian thank you for that report from florida. Most of your major airports in florida remain closed preventing a lot of people who flew out of town from getting home just yet. American Airlines Says it will not resume flights to miami until tomorrow at the earliest. The timetable depends on approval from the faa and employees ability to get to work. In all, nearly 4,000 flights scheduled for today alone were canceled. That includes cancellations in atlanta and charlotte, North Carolina. Time now for a check of the accuweather forecast, the latest on what is now Tropical Storm irma. How it could impact us briefly here adam. Yeah, we could see showers by the end of the week but the biggest thing well feel is the tropical humidity return at the end of the week. As we look at Storm Tracker six live Tropical Storm irma heading into southern parts of atlanta and you can see the rain spreading out across 10 states. Thats just about a fifth of the country that is dealing with the rain and the wind from irma. You can see about 700 or so miles all the way from mississippi into North Carolina where they are feeling some kind of effects and this is very typical when a very strong hurricane starts to unwind, its not as tightly as compact so it spreads its rain and winds out and thats how it begins the dying out process but as its moving into parts of the southeastern United States it brought the third highest storm surge in charleston South Carolinas history. Record flooding with a storm surge in Downtown Jacksonville all that water funneling into that northern and eastern part of florida and Tropical Storm warnings remain in effect for most of the state of georgia. As we track irma right now winds sustained 60 miles an hour moving to the northnorthwest at 17 and it will continue in that northwesterly direction much its not aiming towards us and is continuing to move away and will completely die out by wednesday as a remnant low of winds of just 25 miles an hour near memphis, tennessee in the middle of the week but again, as some of that moisture pushes to the north and east, well see very little here of the effects of irma. Well talk about it, though, coming up in that full accuweather forecast sharrie in just a little bit. Adam thank you. We continue to track the path of irma on the 6abc app. There you can find constant updates as damage reports come in plus photo galleries and videos from locations across florida.

Action News Reporter john rawlins was at one of the events in philadelphia he joins us live from olde city with more on that. John. Reporter hi, yeah, this is the betsy ross house. This was a joint effort by the Philadelphia Fire Department and the philadelphia flag day association. A number of dignitaries were here including robert casey as well as the mayor. Now, for most of us for many of us of a certain age i should say, 9 11 is just part of our life but as youll see after 16 years, for some its a lesson that has to be learned. Reporter the Philadelphia Police and fire pipes and drums led the procession to the betsy ross house. It was a morning to remember those who perished on 9 11 2001, 16 years ago. 343 new York Firefighters and paramedics, 23 nypd officers, 37 Port Authority officers, all 20128 victims. Well honor their memory by fighting against evil and injustice. Reporter it was a day that changed the world and how we live in it. Before that the phrases Homeland Security and soft target were rarely used. You all know that we are now compelled to Police Events in ways we never have before. Reporter not everyone here today can remember that day. We read about it in school. We read we saw a documentary. I originally did a u. S. History project based on it. Reporter some of these Frankford High School rotc cadets werent even born. For them 9 11 is like december 7th 1941, history. Its really tragic, devastating, heartbreaking. Reporter their take away after talking to their elders people were fearful of another attack. People wouldnt come out for days. Like they would stay at home, scared to come out and that like a few days after, everybody came together. Reporter came together but life was less certain than before. Watch your surroundings, be careful what you do and plan out your future cause your future is not promised. Reporter well, the primary Mission Today no doubt about it was to remember those who died 16 years ago today. But there was also recognition for First Responders, First Responders in general whether its here in philadelphia on routine matters or whether its extraordinary times such as what is going on with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma in texas and in florida.

Dont tell them the secrets. Its not a secret anymore. Good time to go. Yes, it is. Weve got quite the stretch of weather as well, lots of sunshine, low humidity, as you take a look at this wide shot of the center city skyline, really little happening right now but there are changes as we head towards the middle and the end of the week. In fact, the first change will be that humidity. As comfortable as it has been, that humidity is going to make a return starting wednesday right through the upcoming weekend feeling more summerlike and tropical out there and also a threat of showers starts to return wednesday through saturday. Little pieces of what was irma starts to ripple through here at the end of the week and were also watching the tropics and hurricane jose cause that will be drifting out there for sometime and the question is where will jose eventually go. Right now temperatures are in the middle 70s, so very pleasant. 76 at the Atlantic City airport, 75 in allentown and low 70s for the state of delaware. As we look at satellite and radar, again, some changes with some of those high clouds that are streaming up from the south, again, some of these high clouds in response to what was Hurricane Irma and is still a Tropical Storm. In fact youre seeing a little bit of some showers and rain bands but notice how they evaporate as they head in from the south into this very dry air in place over our region. As we look at the forecast for tonight were dipping back into the low and the mid 50s pretty much areawide so partly cloudy and very comfy out there and as we go through the day tomorrow, lots of sunshine but increasing clouds developing during the middle part of the morning into the afternoon. So, youll see them in those high thin wispy cirrus clouds. 50s in the morning, 60s by mid morning and then going into the lower 80s as we top off the middle of the day. Then as we get into wednesday morning, we start to see some of those showers entering from the south and west. They wont be all that heavy and again, theyll be hit or miss and no washout here wednesday through the end of the week. Hurricane jose is still a cat two but you see really no definitive eye so its a struggling storm that will bring runs rip currents along the east coast. As we track jose, the end of the track is next sunday. It does a loop right here and then theres a concentration that heads towards florida. Theres a concentration that could squeeze it up somewhere along the east coast between bermuda and North Carolina so again thats over a week away that well watch jose and a lot can happen will happen between now and then. As we look at the four day at 4 00 forecast, 80 tomorrow with high clouds. Upper 70s wednesday through friday. Wednesday, thursday, friday, very humid with on and off showers each day but not one of those days will be a washout. Its just kind of damp and humid at times. Well have that sevenday forecast, sharrie, coming up in the next half hour. All right, adam see you in a bit. Thanks. Its a major celebration as local Catholic Schools kicked off their school year.

Retired coast guard fire chief chuck brook served as the keynote speak. Theres so much more ahead when action news comes right back. Action news continues with meteorologist adam joseph, Alicia Vitarelli, Sharrie Williams and brian taff. Its 4 30. Rick williams is joining us. Brian taff will be along with a live report on irma in just a moment but action news continues with irmas last gasp. Thats right. The once powerful category five hurricane is now a Tropical Storm soaking parts of the south as it moves north. Well, the hurricane barreled through florida making landfall not once but twice yesterday. First in the keys leaving houses barely standing and cars buried beneath the sand. With bridges still closed residents can only watch video in hopes of seeing how their homes have faired. The second landfall came along floridas west coast where irma roared ashore on marco island but irma tour apart cities on both coasts flooding neighborhoods and uprooting trees from miami to fort myers as many as 9 Million People are now still without power. Irma may be out of florida but cities up and down the coast will be feeling her effects for weeks if not months. Our coanchor brian taff rode that storm out in hard hit naples and thats where he is again today live with a look of some of that damage left behind and brian, youve got that firsthand view there. Reporter yeah, hey, rick and sharrie, im sitting on a tree obviously in the middle of a road and thats not something thats supposed to happen. But theres not a lot of streets here in naples, florida, where one can drive very far without encountering a scene like this. The shear force of these winds was almost undescribable. We were sustained north of 100 miles an hour last night. And that led to scenes like this. Were we got up early this morning at first light to drive around to take a look at the damage. We expected the worst. As you can see many streets have trees down, occasional flooding puddles, ponds here and there but i have to tell you given what we experienced yesterday what we saw today was a welcome relief and i know that all i people i spoke to, the residents in naples florida feel the same way. Despite the enormity of visuals like this, trees down, many of them fell on open roads not on houses and so damage was absolutely minimal compared to what we expected, sharrie. Well, brian, weve watched your reports online and on social media. We watched you venture out into the storm and also hunker down in your hotel. What how do you put this into terms as far as your expectations when you went down there, what were you expecting from irma . Reporter well, ill tell you what, i was never expecting to end up in naples, florida. We came down, we flew into orlando and made our way to Fort Lauderdale expecting the storm to race up the east coast of florida. When the track changed, our plans changed. Here i am in naples florida. My parents have home about 3 miles away from where i stand. I tell you what, that brings an emotional element into this whole thing. You want your city, the one you love so much to survive but when those winds whip up you are just focused on the intensity of what youre experiencing and, gosh, i dont know if i could ever put it into words when the winds and the eye wall came over the top of us yesterday at almost exactly this time 24 hours ago, unbelievable. The hotel begins to shake, the windows begin to rattle, some of them begin to break and at one point, we feared that the roof might go and the abc crew down the hall ran down the hall to get in the stairway to take cover. Its in those moments you realize why it is that experts say get out, do not stay and thankfully most people heeded that advice. Were glad that you guys are staying same we know that youre with john, our photographer down there and of course we wish you the best knowing that this is a second home to you. So, well see you a bit later on the show, brian. Be safe. Brian, thank you for your reporting from florida. Meanwhile the hurricane has weakened to a Tropical Storm as we mentioned. Its still posing a threat to parts of the southeast. Lets get over to meteorologist adam joseph for a look at where irma is now and where shes heading next. The Actual Center of circulation is now in southern parts of georgia but as you can see the rain shield has expanded, thats very typical with a dying tropical system, the winds kind of spread out as they fall apart and theyre far reaching, all the way in parts of the virginias as west as jackson mississippi and as we look at some of these bands coming in off the ocean which there are still tornado watches winds gusting to 47 miles an hour near the border of South Carolina and georgia, near Savannah Georgia so some really treacherous weather still in this region with very heavy rain and some wind. We still have Tropical Storm warnings in effect for northern florida, most of georgia, parts of alabama, up to South Carolina and in fact, this is the first time in history that atlanta, georgia, was actually put under a Tropical Storm warning. It surprised me and im sure it surprised many of you that its never been issued for that part of the southeast, so just showing how strong and how large this system is. In fact where brian taff was in naples florida, winds gusted to 142 miles an hour, 130 miles an hour in marco island which was the second landfall and parts of the keys, well over 90 miles an hour and even miami over 125 miles from the center saw winds near 100 miles an hour and heres the track. It will continue to go to the north and west falling apart by wednesday, so well continue to see this storm pretty much rip apart and only get a few showers at the end of the week. Much more on our local sevenday forecast sharrie in just a little bit. All right, adam thank you. We turn now to the latest on the death of Country Music star troy gentry. The singer who made up one half of the popular duo Montgomery Gentry died in a Helicopter Crash in Burlington County friday. Action newss walter perez returned to the scene today of that tragedy.

Today people who know robinson say they are certain this was some kind of mechanical failure because they say he was a talented young pilot. He was an amazing young man. He was full of life. Reporter patty coastal flood medford is talking about her dear friend and local Flight Instructor Evan Robinson. Last friday afternoon, robinson was giving a helicopter tore of Burlington County to troy gentry of the popular Country Music duo Montgomery Gentry. The band was and scheduled to perform in medford later that day but something happened during the flight and robinson made a distress call. First responders quickly converged upon the flying w airport in medford. Make an Emergency Landing apparently hes hovering right now. Reporter its unclear why but moments later, the helicopter fell from the sky in the field just south of the airport. Crash. Thats affirmative. Reporter the 30yearold pilot and Country Music star were the only ones on board. Both were killed. Local Authorities Say incidents like these do happen but they are unusual. There have been a handful of accidents in the time ive been here over 22 years. Very often thank goodness not fatal. I believe we have had one or two here over the course of the last few decades. But its not a common occurrences, no. Reporter a public memorial has since been scheduled for thursday for troy gentry at the grand old opry in tennessee. Back here in south jersey Edward Robinson is being remembered as a true gentleman with a passion for flying.

Its double trouble in a couple spots. 95 southbound heres your first problem just a few minutes ago we were seeing big flames coming from a car fire.

Its also double trouble on the eastbound side of the schuylkill expressway. First, a crash past the conshohocken curve on the shoulder so its extra slow coming from king of prussia. Then second another crash eastbound between montgomery and girard still blocks the left lane. This vehicle ran into the jersey barrier, jammed solid from city avenue. Use the river drives instead. Crash by Springfield High School along paper mill road is gone. In Lower Gwynedd still one on welsh road eastbound by 309. Well check it again, rick and sharrie, coming up in the 5 oclock hour.

Meteorologist adam joseph is back now with a closer look at the forecast. Nice weekend. Yeah, perfect way to start the week as well and then things start to change tomorrow night into wednesday. So, take a look at the Weather Center here, again a very nice evening on tap and i just pushed out a sunset alert. Never done that before on twitter just because of the high clouds that are now streaming in from the south and those high clouds are all due to irma which have a lot of ice crystals in them so that could play a part in our sunset tonight, our sunrise tomorrow morning, so something you may want to check out. As we look at dewpoints and how it feels out there, 45 right now is our dewpoint in philadelphia, very low, very comfortable as it has been day after day now as of late. 48 in allentown, 57 cape may but this is the biggest change. How its going to feel when youre outdoors. You can see tomorrow still not bad at 54 degrees but those dewpoints again also due to irma as everything starts to push up the midatlantic, go back into the mid and upper 60s especially on friday so that tropical feeling will return and that also will give us a chance of some showers. Temperatures right now are still below average. 75 allentown as well as reading, 76 philadelphia, trenton 77 in millville and right along the shore a bit of a sea breeze there with temperatures in the lower 70s. We can really thank this area of High Pressure, number one, because of the nice stretch of whether it brought us over the weekend but its also keeping everything down to the south and really starting to evaporate any moisture from irma that tries to head to the north but there you can see these edge of clouds, thats the edge of what now is Tropical Storm irma heading in our direction but the center of circulation now in southern parts of georgia, still dealing with tornado watches and warnings in parts of South Carolina and southern georgia and very heavy rain wrapping around that circulation north of it especially over atlanta right now. So, for us at home again those patchy high clouds, very comfortable overnight once again, 52 to 59 degrees. The areas of High Pressure still hold on for one more day tomorrow so those high clouds will still be around but everything is still being held at bay to the south and west as that area of low pressure which right now is Tropical Storm irma will just be an area of a remnant low here as we get into tuesday and wednesday. And wednesday mostly cloudy, a couple of showers as a warm front comes in at 77 degrees. And again, that more humid air but the actual circulation doesnt come through here until friday. Hurricane jose winds sustained 100 miles an hour, a lot of rip currents for the east coast. This week moving to the north at 12 and as we track jose, it kind of loops around here for the next couple of days and then it drifts towards the bahamas and also somewhere in the midatlantic. This would be on saturday afternoon but then well watch to see where it goes as we get into sunday of this coming weekend and monday of next week. The exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, 80 tomorrow, sunshine and some high clouds. Were in the upper 70s wednesday, thursday, friday. It is not a washout, no heavy rain but there will be showers at times all three days with in higher humidity. Driest day looks to be thursday wet test day would be on friday and still a shower threat on saturday before we dry out sunday. Monday with temperatures in the upper 70s, lower humidity by then but even if jose plays a part of our forecast it wouldnt even be next monday, it would be beyond that. Wow. Adam thank you. Okay.
