has been declared in florida as a tropical storm heads straight for the coast. live from the cnn weather center on the latest. and a look at russia s referendums across the russia-occupied ukraine in the way of annexing which president biden is calling a sham. node. live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom with kim brunhuber. and we begin in the north atlantic, where a deadly storm that caused massive destruction across several caribbean islands just made landfall in eastern nova scotia. damaging winds and heavy rain are pounding the region as the storm races northward. residents from all across atlantic canada did what they could before the sun went down to prepare including in nova scotia where people waited in long lines to stock up on supplies like food and propane. as you can see, it s not too bad. but we ll know for a week for, i m fine, because i have a trailer that i m staying into. so hopefully, it doesn t get blown away. this is completely useless. we
supplies like food and propane. as you can see, it s not too bad. but we ll know for a week for, i m fine, because i have a trailer that i m staying into. so hopefully, it doesn t get blown away. this is completely useless. we re used to winter blizzards and whatnot, but not hurricanes. let s bring in cnn meteorologist derek van dam. it just made landfall. how bad is it? yeah, this is likely to be a once in a generation storm for people across nova scotia and prince edward island. just to put it in context, the canadian hurricane centre put out a tweet, the lowest pressure of any storm recorded 931.6 millibars. that s a barometric pressure, lowest recorded ever in canada. incredible, right? this is a large storm. the tropical storm and hurricane force winds extend well out through the center of the storm which has just made landfall
trouble. not as much trouble i should say potentially as steven pilazzo has been in congress for 12 years. all sorts of ethical controversy around pilazzo. he s going to a runoff. he s in first place. a 12-year incumbent, 31.6% of the vote. he ll face a runoff. second place, the sheriff of jackson county in mississippi, that s a troubling place to be. there s another incumbent could be in trouble there. again the headline out of california is that recall of boudine natch is complete. what we re waiting on are congressional districts. as i said, we continue to check the mayoral vote in los angeles that has not changed since the start of this segment when i first showed you these numbers. we want to see some of the votes that were cast today just make sure there s not a huge
endorsed candidate has skyrocketed ahead of the competitors. although there is still only 13 or now 14% of the vote that has been counted. still a lot of votes to count. let s go down to north carolina now. if we can. you see incumbent cawthorn closed the gap with chuck edwards. still in the lead with 33.the% of the vote. he s about 1,700 votes ahead of incumbent congressman cawthorn with 31.6% of the vote. a lot of more of the vote has been counted in north carolina. 70% of the vote has been counted there. and reminder of the rules here in this primary race, is that if no candidate gets above 30%, they have a run off. if both get above 30%, whoever wins gets to obviously wins.
it s election night in america. look at these votes. former hedge fund manager dave mccormick at 31.6% just with narrow lead of 3,472 votes ahead of mehmet oz. that margin has been narrowing with kathy barnette. it really could be anyone s race. mccormick just barely ahead of mehmet oz. in idaho, we re keeping track of the run for governor. brad little is being challenged
